You really are a complete, blithering moron, aren't you?

This Toyota is unsafe, and beyond stupid.

The whole "Hellaflush" trend is beyond idiotic. It's unsafe, and I can't even fathom why a tire shop would be stupid enough to mount tires improperly like this. What the fock makes this so cool? If you want to run wide wheels, you mount a focking tire THAT FITS IT. The sidewall of a tire is not ment to be stretched at all. There is no purpose, function, anything for that. That whole BS for drifters is a big load. You don't stretch tires, period. This douche rocket and all the other dumbasses driving on the roads are a danger to other motorists and themselves.

I can't wait for this idiotic trend to blow over. Goddamned ricer bullsh!t.

[SpyhunteR]

The alero is riding 4x4 high & has ugly wheels. The Corolla besides the ****ty offset and super stretch would still get my vote for being the better car.

A lot of people here are hillbilly rednecks anyway.

Finally getting around to ordering the package from WOT
Just Need a little input..

Got the headers and 65 TB from O1GAGT - so that's done ;-)

Going with Performance package 1
The heads/Intake Comp ported
and the pro HP tuner option

Is it worth it to go with the ARP stud kit?
And should I upgrade my injectors?

Hope to be taking the car apart this weekend with any luck just to see what I have going on in there. But waiting on the other guys to finish taking out a engine from a bus.. So kinda hoping its done today...

Anything else I should upgrade while I am at it?
Any idea on what my HP might be after all this? (B/c I have clue Zero)

Thanks!

[elementdrummer]

if you go down that far why don't you do a street cam or something?? 2000+ grand ams have decent 20lb injectors. with a stage one there isnt much need to change it yet. im not sure on HP gain, but from stock to what you are having done I would guess around 40 at the motor.

A cam upgrade would probably see the need for a higher octane with the tune...to boot, you'd pretty much need to motor out of the engine bay to get the cam out.

Also... @ your ricer mobile.

a tune yes, higher octane, not necesary.
also, the engine doesnt HAVE to be pulled, but its A TON easier.

And for more luls on this ricer machine:



Since we censor the word, r!ce.

[juanvan]

You can't drop the engine in the bay to pull the cam?

[AaronGTR]

The engine must come out to install a cam in these cars, or at least be moved a good deal. Has to be either dropped low enough to clear the frame rail, or raised enough to clear the fender. Either way requires a lot of stuff to be removed. No easy way to do a cam in these cars.

As I suspected...GAHHH I'd love to have a cam at least, but then I'd have an LX9 top swap done, too.

Lame - guess I will be dropping the engine somewhat to install

this is the only way to do it with the engine in the car, but it is easier to pull it

[juanvan]

Well a year later and I have progress - in collecting parts!
Purchased SS headers and 62 TB from O1GAGT
pontga00 car with RSM heads L.U - IM
and gt3400 4t65 HD transmission stuff.

Now to take everything out of the cars and start rebuilding the block.
Hope to have some pictures by the end of the month.

[geldartb]
