Looks good!

I believe one is for the driver side and the other is for the passenger side. If I remember correctly, the driver side one is longer.

Jealous! Hard to find one so clean and with such low miles...

Still got the Tacoma. Haha. Bought the scion as a daily/track car, but I find myself still driving the Tacoma to work at least a couple times a week.

You in concord? I don't have experience with many mechanics because I normally just do my own work on my cars, but the Honda dealership wasn't terrible when I had to bring the accord in for warranty work. My wife's brother is a master tech at a GM dealership, but they work on all makes and...

Just a few more pictures. It's a 2015 with 17k miles. Considered a bunch of different cars, driving everything from a 16 WRX, mkVII GTI, ND Miata, EcoBoost Mustang, used s2k, and a few more, but my brother-in-law works at the dealership that took this in and it ended up being the best deal...

When's the next trip? Haha

Been a while since I've been on here. Haven't had a car since I replaced the Accord with a Tacoma, so after graduation I decided that it was time to get a toy. It'll probably stay stock for a while to run in stock/street class auto-x, but we'll see. ;-)

how you liking the Si? i'll probably be looking for a relatively fun/fuel efficient car once i get a real job since i'm pretty sure the tacoma wouldn't keep up at the dragon...

how big is it? i've had good luck with the crossbar type dent pullers when the dent isn't too tiny.

hurry up and mod it

don't think i can make this one. last two semesters of engineering school = senior design project. i got a pretty good one with Penske so i don't wanna screw this up which means i'm putting in a crapload of hours every week for the next ten months or so...

just buy meaty summer tires for the stock wheels

Buy em!

Unlike the 8th gens, the 2012 Si and non-Si models use different front knuckles, so the Si suspension (HFP and non-HFP) doesn't fit on non-Si models. The Si uses larger diameter bolts to connect the struts to the knuckle and if I remember right, the hole spacing is different too.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to argue either. I made the point earlier in this thread that the reason for the gain up top was for the RBC being designed for an application that revved to 8000+ rpm. I guess it's just hard to figure out a way that would make the theory easier to understand. Is it...

for what it's worth, browsing the TSX forums shows that a bunch of them showed lost low- to mid-range torque with RBC swaps as well...

which principles are you referring to? 4000 rpm has much different optimal flow requirements than 7000 rpm. you're taking about a 75% increase in volumetric flow from 4k to 7k rpm, while 6k to 8k rpm is only a 33% difference. if you could apply just one "theory" and make the perfect manifold...

since the dyno charts posted show the flow restriction only becomes an issue above 7000rpm (which is above redline), if you really wanna stick to NA power, your best bet is probably to spin the motor faster. i.e., balance the motor to make it safely rev higher and then work on increasing the...
