Hey I'm thinking of doing my blacktop ecu soon can anyone post up some pics of where I get the best vacuum reading for my map sensor and where do I connect the hose that goes into the idle control valve. On silvertops they are go into the factory plenlum where do u put it if ur running trumpets and no plenlum??

this is the cruise that i organised november last year was meaning to do another this year but had lack of time,
maybe one early next year
so we started in town at burger king on moorehouse ave, then went up the port hills and down into lyttleton harbour, then out over gebbies pass, then past little river, over the hill to akaroa, was a awesome day.


this is tims levin it has a tidy blacktop conversion
this trueno had a 4agte
this ae71 had a 3stge in it (mean skids)
this unassuming ke36 named REZIN has a 4agte in it.... dont race it




feel free to ask about any of the cars and ill do my best to try and remember

[bradae85]

Does anyone know where to get TRD style ducktail spoilers for coupes?? I've seen them on a few cars like nick teeboons Levin from nz, fumihiko ogitas levin from Japan, i think these look really cool and would like one. Or do u have to modify a hatch one??

Keep an eye out on Yahoo Japan Auctions, man. I've seen a few pop up every now and then.
