not to jack this but just as gay as someone saying "intercooled turbo" is when people brag about having a "twin-cam", like the older what are they camry's?? with teh bigass sticker on the side that says "twin-cam", the stock sticker.

Look, I even got new door decals to replace the old ones when I paint the car: I like bragging that my car has Twin Cam
, it's what makes it the "good" Corolla . It's not that it has Twin Cam that makes it good, as there were poopy newer Corollas with Twin Cam, but an 86 GT-S is quite the car .
LOL whoo hoo go Jeff there's a couple a tenths in the 1/4 for sure!
(would be faster if they were V-Tec ones though)

Heh... the other day I saw an "GT-R" sticker on a Civic.
As for the heat you get when you compress air, it's a pretty simple principle. Say you have 90 degrees worth of energy for every cubic inch of air. Now say you cram twice the air in that same space -- boom, twice the energy (*temperature*).
I know that's an oversimplification, but don't look at me -- I'm not a physicist. ;P

I'm restoring the car, I couldn't not get them to put back on. Then it would just look like an SR5, and I couldn't have that
.My Sister had an 87 AWD wagon that was damn fun to drive until I rodknocked it on a Freeway on ramp !
If it had 100 more HP it would have been a killer as it hooked up so well!

Heh, I'm hoping to have a bit over 200hp out of my Corolla once I get the engine swap done, but that's a long way off. (It's getting a 4A-GZE -- 170hp stock, and upping the boost should put me up even more, combined with intake/exhaust and cams, it should go pretty well. )
Here's a pic of my car right now, it looks a bit better in this pic than it actually looks, but it'll look better than that pic in a few months (hopefully, lol):

Goddamnit, Jeff! How many times did I tell you to stop hijacking threads with talks of you Corolla!

Hey at least we are using the tread as it was intended: humor (it is titled lol).
I wonder who mentions their other machine more: Jeff mentioning his Corolla, or me mentioning my bike -- there, I just did it again! -- I said bike.
Well that's all, but I will leave you...with my sig to look at

As far as wheels go, yeah, MK2 wheels look pretty good on these cars, but it's okay, I'm not going that direction. I'm getting these wheels reconditioned then picking up new center caps from Toyota.
EDIT: Oh yeah, this thread belongs in OT. I'm moving it

i can't beleiv i just read all of that.
also.. Dodge has quite a few non-intercooled turbo'd cars. Rampage, Lebaron, Town Car, all of these where turbo'd minus intercooler at one point.

I'll always have a warm place in my heart for the mini-mopars -- I learned to drive in an '88 Turbo II (intercooled) LeBaron.

I'm still trying to convince my dad to let me run his LeBaron at IRP.

Another Q: is it rear or front drive? (watch me get flammed for not having a clue about what seems a very popular car)

RWD. It was the last RWD Corolla before they went to totally FWD. (Well, 87 was the last year, but it's the same car).
