TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I'm going to rate those in order of what type of person drives those: middle life crisis baby boomer generation folks, "my dad bought this car for me so I race everywhere I go," people whose sex drive is just as boring as this vehicle, uneducated people who have money to burn on a vehicle which will not make it past day 1 at the track before it breaks, Europeans who listen to trance music and like to drive incredibly fast or want to be the next host of TopGear, people who have never spent a day wrenching on their own stuff nor will ever because the engine is buried deep beneath the interior.

Pick your poison.

 

For some reason i read that in a Fred Sanford voice "quality junk"

 

And yes, the abs almost took me off a muddy cliff once.
Abs Killswitch has been engaged for 6ish years now and the truck is much safer even without a swaybar.

 

I took mine off as well. I need to rig those kill switches though. I almost crashed into a pole once in the snow because the ABS kicked on for no apparent reason.

 

The ghost of John DeLorean got into the truck around all that white powder and seen the pole as a giant straw.

 

Damn you guys. Now you’re costing me money even when I’m not buying anything...

7th back on

 

Damn, you're harsh.

I fit none of those descriptions, thankfully. I do live close enough to Buttonwillow (home track), Laguna Seca and Willow Springs to do a few track days per year. Having back seats might not be a bad thing in the next few years, and no one, barely myself, can stand my STI after 3 hours in it.

I have my Scooby STI. Perfectly described as "you're not fooling anyone with that wing. You just want to go fast" - Carlos Lago.

I want to move to a car in the next couple years that I don't need or care to mod to enjoy. After I pay off my house first.

 

It's okay, no vehicle is without its stereotypes.. even ours. Like I'm sure mine is labeled a bro truck... but I don't fit that description (at least not anymore most definitely, maybe before I did, maybe)

I definitely got a good laugh out of all this stuff, I'll say that much!

Lucky you, Laguna Seca sounds like an amazing place to tear some tire up at. I have a lot of respect for the WRX STI's and the Evo's, when done tastefully.

 

At least we dont drive Nissan trucks. I was going to buy one. But then I remembered I dont have to sit down to pee

 

Right, because the last thing I want to be remembered by is the guy whose piss hitting the urinal sounds feminine.

 

Thanks bud

 

I had a stock 88 hardbody and it drove better and handled weight better than my stock tacoma

I dont know much about the frontiers tho

 

Yes the sensor will stick out further. Mine is a little close on the front driveshaft, but it would have to move an inch to actually make contact. Could always weld another bung in a different spot if you need to.

Mine did it once too when I shifted manually from 4th to 5th as I was letting off the gas a little. Similar to how you describe. Never has done it any other time.

 

other

id take a zr1.

i still like my gto

c7, porsche or lotus. c7 wouls probably be my top

jealous on that many local tracks. id love to lap them

finding a car you wont mod doesnt seem realistic. maybe just not as hardcore? i also enjoy having access to back seats now if i need them.

 

I'm still here to tell you that I hate you.

Oh and I forgot to mention that people who drive ZR1's are attempting to compensate for small pee pee size, and have some form of early or currently have ED. Most likely frequent ingesters of the blue pill and keep them in the cup holder of their ZR1.

 

I had a 97 Hardbody. Regular cab, 5-speed 2WD with a 3” body lift. It was a damned good truck. I drove the crap out of it on and off road. It was a freaking tank in the way that it was pretty much unstoppable. Only problem I ever had with it was a squealing belt.

 

lol

id still take the zr1 even if it comes with blue pills.

what about a zl1?

 

Those are driven by single folks who have a death wish. Pretty standard there.

 

a buddy just bought a 2019. like the car but id never own one. terrible interior, i hate the windows are practically above shoulder level too.

 

They are beautiful aesthetically, but horribly built from a practical standpoint. Plus this side curtain airbags like to deploy at the track.

Kinda like Randy Jackson says... Yeah that's gonna be a no for me dawg.
