BTW, this does not mean there's anything wrong with the Toyotas listed. Great cars. I just didn't want anyone to put too much weight into a consumer report review.

No I go on Camrys based on people's personal findings.  I just listed the Consumer Reports thing as an extra "peice of mind" sort of deal.  Either way though as you pointed out it isn't really accurate.  Anyways my neighbor has a '94 Camry and he and his wife love that car to death.  They say it has been one of the best buys they have made on a car.  Reports from other Camry owners in my area are simliar.

I never said you were basing it solely on CR in case you cared. I just wanted to let you know that I would never base a car decision on Consumer Reports. But obviously Toyota makes some pretty good cars.

Initial D.
The car is a Toyota Trueno, not even close to a Lancia Delta
Original engine the AE-86
Upgraded to a AE-101
(As is the engine in the Trueno owned by Shuichi Shigeno the author of the original manga)

Actually the anime is based on the manga which is very nice. And the anime is decent too. Maybe not as visually pleasing as some, but from a car standpoint far more technical then any other entertainment based show/movie in existance. Unlike the fast and the furious which deal with "Nos" and "double clutching" Initial D actually deals wiyth things like brake fade, cornering lines, weight shift and such. So I guess liking a show that actually is technically sound makes me as bad as a ricer. Whatever.

Yeah, don't mess with us mechnically inclined types. Some of us know way too much.

It get's even worse if you try and debate the non rotary Mazda engines with me.

And what is wrong with the rotary engines?  dry.gif

Reliability..........


Still wouldn't stop me from owning one though smile.gif
I'm just far more knowledgable when it comes to the Non rotary engines. That's all. Mostly because I got involved in them due to my car.

For example, embedded nder the hood of my car is the Mazda 2.5 L V6 KLZE.
Stock would be the 2.5L V6 KL03
The ZE was availavle in J spec Mazda MX6 LSs, which are mechanically identical to Probe GTs in most ways.
The differences between the 2 engines are the Ze has.....
Higher compression 10:1
Better flowing heads and Intake Manifold
More agressive cams

This creates a 200 hp engine instead of the 164 hp engine. The power band has also shifted higher into the RPM range, along with a much nicer torque curve.

From there you find even higher compression pistons. (Cuz Lord, knows 10:1 wasn't nearly good enough.)
The you have the cams reground
Shim the oil pump as cylinder 6 has oil starvation issues
Port the heads
Port the IM
Add a 67mm TB
upgraded fuel rails/injectors/pump

Then we start adding bolt on stuff
PRM CAI
Hot Shot gen IV headers
Jeff Jeske Testpipe
Custum Stainless exhaust from there back (2.75")
Unorhodox UD Pulley
VRTuner, (To get the VRIS points in the IM correct)

Then a few guages to watch stuff
Autometer A/F with switch to switch from the front bank to the rear (The Ze likes to lean out  dry.gif  )
Autometer Oil pressure, ( Fucking #6)
Autometer Fuel Pressure
Autometer EGT
Autometer Voltage (Stereo can take it's toll)
Autometer Tach (Mine's horribly innacurate)

Let's not even get into tires, suspension, etc

All this equates to driving in something that's loud as fuck, gives the feel of a fighter jet cockpit, and that has caught a V8 or 2 by suprise.  rolleyes.gif

Honesly I would be happier with a B6T engine or F2T, but I have what I have.
