Re: Alto upgrades

later model turbo 660 sounds like the only option to me
any other mod will give you about 0.3 hp extra?

or the logical answer, trade it on a later model.
Hollands Suzuki have/had a few Celerio's as loaners, they're quite cool for a horrible little car. 1000cc turbo

Re: Racecar 95db limit

in my experience (as the guy who does the most noise testing at Ruapuna) the bolt thing won't do shit. Nowhere near enough to gain 2+ db

like atmosports said the conditions of the day can change things a few db so really you need to drop 5db to make sure you're safe. plus it probably sounds ...

Re: what 4AGE do i have?

hmm, so i guess it doesnt really matter then
part of the reason for asking is i need a thermostat for it and figured they must be different, maybe not

what 4AGE do i have?

you would think i'd be able to find the answer to this myself but i'm sick of every search result being how to convert a fwd motor to rwd...

I've obtained a KP60 race/rally car with what seems like a complete AE86 running gear, just trying to find out if i have an original AE86 motor or a fwd ...

Re: Identify gearbox & diff for me?
