No C4 in the game, but it could fit on one of the Puegot 207s....or maybe the SEAT download car.

well, it could be plugged into a safety outlet. (those have a breaker on the outlet panel that cut electricity flow when the load changes.)

Sorry I missed the meet today.
I was supposed to have someone dropping off an engine. But it looks like it will be happening tomorrow.

4a-gze is on its way. yep, a supercharged engine for the new MR2.
J-spec 160hp/150tq in a car that will weigh under 2000 pounds.

Actually, Toyota is very simple in their nameing of engines.
4 - 4th generation of the
A - line up of motors
- - a dash seperates the engine from the specifics
G - wide angle valves, performance motor
Z - supercharger. t would be turbo charger
E - electronic fuel injection.

In an MR2
M- midship
R - runabout
2 - two seater


The Z motor was only in the U.S in 1988 and 89. They are hard to come by. So the Japanese imports are more readily available, but they can not pass smog.
This particular car came with the AFM & MAP sensor. The MAP is better for tuning purpose, but will not pass smog. I had to purchase a USDM ECU, So the AFM with the stock ECU will get this puppy smogged and registered. The J-spec ECU with the MAP and a new supercharger pulley should get about 175HP at the crank. If 150HP make it to the wheels . . . . I got me a dedicated track car with some serious performance

Sorry I didn't make it today either... Low turn-out, high winds, 100 mile drive =/

off-topic...

Does anyone know why I cannot fill the tv screen when watching a blue ray disc on my ps3? I tried adjusting the screen mode on my widescreen tv, but no matter what screen option (Zoom, Wide zoom, Full) I still get 2 damn black bars top & bottom.

Any ideas?

apparently doing 115 mph in a 75 mph zone is frowned upon here in AZ.
Cesar's been riding with Emilie and I all weekend, we can't get his car back till Tuesday.

STUPID Columbus day!
