um...went out and shoot 14 videos for my ride

tested out in different situations, normal driving, 0-60 dash, sudden accel, revving, drive by, shooting from outside...

you see them all here

New Video Clips

have fun and feel free to share ur opinions

aaronnn

wow.. thats alot of videos. nice man. great job! finally someone getting the sound of exhausts from all different views, accelerations, speed ups, idling, revving, pulling away, inside and out, etc.. awesome work!

sounds crazy nice too! i remember you saying that you didnt like the comptech axles anymore, i think it sounds great.. you could always go for the comptech B-Pipe later on if you think its too quiet. and if its too loud, the quiet tip inserts is a great option too.

aaronnn

hmm actually, i just watched it a second time.. the exhausts arent that noticeably loud.. its kinda similar to my car's exhausts (both resonators removed, stock mufflers). maybe just alittle bit louder. but thanks for entertaining us with the cool vids.

big mike 13

lol nice...
you need to debadge it, clear em headlights and polish them exhausts..

ndawood

It must be said that taking those hair pin turns at 90 with cars passing by you in the opposite direction is pretty stupid!

samkws

???

samkws

it's apexi WS coilovers

fsttyms1

y hes on the outside of the corner

ndawood

Either way I am sure he could have found a better road to do it on.

crazym0nkey

Sounds nice! :Thumbsup:

I don't think my dad (or whoever was taping for you, I'm assuming it was a relative) would even let me do that, let alone stand there to watch taking those turns.

samkws

you got it kris

me and my frd tested out a few times b4 we decided to take on the outside instead of the inside

the inside is a lot more fun at night with no traffic at all, but can't shoot the video by then, and the rear tend to slides a little bit when i go inside at 50mph, so we didn't bother

i did try last time with a corolla CE at 50mph on the inside and no traffic at night and it flew to opposite lane

even on the outside i didn't push that hard, although the Toyo T1-S still has a lot of grip

samkws

it's already way up north at Major Mac/Woodbine, it's a industrial area so there's little traffic

derrick

Now after what ndawood happen to him in London (cops coming to his house about a complaint of reckless driving) and Astro getting a huge increase in insurance due to a complaint [refer to off-topic section to get the full story] ... you have a video of you driving (somewhat) recklessly on public roads on the Internet. I think you'd better be careful what you post (at least mosaic out your plates).

samkws

that happens in real?

i will be more cautious next time

Batman-JGII

Just be careful.

samkws

stop making fun on my headlights

i found a place to smoke them cheap, but will do in late June-July

my mom and sister will be coming over and visit me next month, and no more mods until they leave~

yunginTL

damn man, all i gotta say is u got alotta time on ur hands

samkws

really?
i am working 30 hrs a week and plus school and i still managed to have day offs on thur, fri and sunday

and i will start another job soon...working 30 hrs more, to have a combined 55-60 hrs a week

i really need money coz i am earning only 6 bucks an hr, i can't afford those expensive mods

TL_Fo_Life

It was 90 km/h= 60 mph IMO Not that stupid. Pretty fun.

etxxz

sound coolness...even though we know you could've taken that corner WAAAY faster!

keep it safe.........most of the time





*btw i must comment on such a friking nice temperature!!! we're already hitting 90s in my town!

Awesome videos man, thanks for providing them. Car is looking real hot, too.

-Rz-UA5

Nice videos Sam, better take those vids while you are on track next time other than public road

subtledreamer

exactly what i was going to say! car looks great bro

@cUr@-TL

You shift into 3rd gear 250rpm sooner than you should


And i gotta love to be able to hold my 1st gear up to 6750 rpm instead of 6000


nice videos and great looking car!


oh just one more thing, you should reconsider the way you take curves... just a suggestion.

derrick

C$6/hr?! Impossible ... minimum wage is C$6.85/hr ... unless you're getting paid under the table or quoting your wage in USD$ ...

etxxz

USD minimun wage is $5.15...unless its different in states

but yeah, 6bux/hour SUCKS...specially for a 21year old like you. how do you even afford the tl? full time @ $6/hr could barely afford you a used civic

heh, love the car though

samkws

if i do gate shift, i can hold 1st til 6900rpm

yea i don't drive like that 99% of the time, but it was a video shooting so i went fast

samkws

to be correct it's 6.50 CAD an hr for me, 50 cents doesn't do much

6.85? are we talking 1995??? haha...now it is 2005 and it has been raised for 2 times in 2 yrs already.

last yr it was raised to 7.15 and now from 2005 Feb it's 7.45

yunginTL

"i can't afford those expensive mods"?, your stupid especially being 21 with a 6.5CAD paying job. Really how do you afford the TL.

Even i get paid more than you, and i am full time student junior in high school, with 2 jobs.

samkws

credit card debts are my frd

yea i am stupid...

@cUr@-TL

6900 rpm? the rev limiter kicks in before that

and i wasnt talking about the speed, i was talking about the curve/driving line you took

one last thing, credit card debts are a no-no... especially for car mods...

etxxz

rev limiter @ 7200 i believe

i wouln't know anything about debt as i only have a debit card and pay cash everywhere...sometimes i get better deals by paying cash 'cause there's cheap people who dont like to pay taxes

@cUr@-TL

isnt 7200 on the type-s ?


btw, cash > credit cards

pimpravi
