hmmmm....well i've just bought some Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster ($20 does 60l). I'm running a stock Celica (88) that was imported, so it may still be set for 100 from Japan.

As an aside, the STP branded booster had a sticker saying it was "barely legal". Sounds more like a clasified ad if ...

Idle issues on 3S-GE

Bizzard idleing when warming up and when breaking. Warm idle is ok at standstill though. The revs sit at 1500 (is this too high in any case?)when warm and under breaking pulse down to 1000 then back up. It also does it when decelerating using the foot break but stops when the car is stationary ...

88' GTR

Just bought a 88 GTR. Its just a cheapie and I dont want to spend heaps on it. Any ideas on mods? (I was thinking about piping in some more air and replacing filter....)

The only real issue with it is an irratic idle. It pulses sometimes (seems mostly under breaking at slow speed and when warming ...
