What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Your actually right the video I linked to was really slow. Your acceleration is great especially for the slight uphill. Thanks for the video sir!

 

Wow, mines a turd compared to that...

 

Yeah, I am sure it's nowhere near how nice that supercharger is though.

33s with a 4.56 regear, the speedo is a few mph fast. Maybe around 56 or 57 at 60

 

The acceleration going down hill is a little slower than a supercharger on a flat road. Plus you do get to hear that lovely whine noise.

 

Seems even with 33s its possible to get 10secs or under. Should note that my speedo is reading a little slow aswell.

Id love to regear and get back some acceleration. I remember my truck bein pretty peppy on the 235s.

 

That must be nice haha, I sadly can't supercharge mine even if I had the money. I'd have to swap out the computer for a newer one on top of all the other stuff.

My real 0-60 is somewhere between 8-9 seconds. I believe my scanguage said 8.6 second 0-60 with the corrected speed. Not impressive but not horrible either.

My truck came stock with the 225s and 3.91s, it was an absolute slug before the regear.

 

I forgot they don't make a 1st gen supercharger anymore. Only the 2nd gen and 4.0 L superchargers. But it is fun, it'll be one hell of a project if you can put a 2nd gen supercharger in a 96

 

If I had a LFA would you still consider that slow?

 

No he has a boner for any and every sports car And doesn't like the idea of fast trucks

 

I got the same shifter and works great, smell will go,away in time.

 

Get some tires, make sure you have recovery points, get a snatched strap and a buddy with a 4x4 to get you unstuck. Go explore!

That said I have bumpers, sliders, 33's and 4x4... guess I went a little overboard

 

Sometime in the future I will have a 5.7 Supercharged tundra see what he'll say about a tundra being slow.

 

Was that a factory option? I should probably replace with foldable ones.

 

Got the bitch done. It wasn't easy - a few set backs but in the end I gotta say it's well worth it. Thanks to those that offered their experiences and to those that took the time to reply to my pms.

 

You can.

 

Yup, stock headlights.

 

His method is great. Did it on my buddy's X5 and as well on my truck. Really makes a difference. That plus whiter bulbs and my headlights were definitely doing their job better.

I think you may have done a little better job than I did haha. Yours look fantastic.

 

What's the best halogen bulb replacement? I'm not ready to go with retrofits but want better light output as my lights currently aren't that great.

 

Yeah I'd like retros at some point, but the money is simply not there yet. Plus, lift and armor is more important.

These here are the ones I've got.

There are a decent amount of reviews that speak poorly of the longevity of Sylvania's SilverStar line of bulbs, so if that's important/a concern to you, perhaps look elsewhere. Though I have had them for 10 months now and have yet to see an issue with high or low beams. Working great thus far.

 

Of course! Been on the hunt for a 2nd gen, flirting with the idea of a 3rd gen as well. A 2nd gen would leave me with a lot more money for mods though, lol.
