[QUOTE="stutzedward, post: 1064717851, member: 76501"] I'll start off. I bought my Airtrek in 2009, used. The car was bone stock made in 2003. Not a single modification. From audio to engine to drive terrain. Car dealer claimed that the car was still using the original paint, but I do notice that some parts of the front and rear bumper + rear hatch were repainted. Maybe skin-deep accidents. After 2 weeks owning it, I sent for timing belt replacement + installing a MBC (manual boost controller). There's when I increased the boost from stock 0.6 bar to 0.9 bar. I was a happy boy back then. Mods started coming in. Intercooler piping, original HKS BOV, exhaust tip, rims, front bumper lip (custom made), lowering Eibach coils, 4 pots Sumitomo front brakes from Toyota Soarer and basic mods. That was so called Stage 1. I was happy and using it for quite a long time. About 1.5-2 years. Then Stage 2 begun over a span of 3rd to 5th year. I opted to get FMIC, TD05 from Evo 7, Evo 6 cams, Evo 9 injectors, Evo 5 head with port polished (after timing belt snapped and replaced the entire head), HKS down pipe, N1 straight pipe muffler, Walbro fuel pump, Works Engineering fuel regulator and many more which I can't even recall. Then I did a dyno tune which up from 170+ whp (boost adjusted back to 0.6 bar for base dyno) to 260whp + 350Nm wtq with 1.5 bar of boost. I was again a happy boy. 0-100 was 5.9 secs on D (check youtube video keyword [I]stutzedward airtrek[/I]). The car was great. Lotsa space, powerful and it's like a wagon. Loved it very much. Well, what makes me gave up this beauty was because of aging problems. Each week, a new problems came up, one after another. After I fix one, something new popped up. I am old and could no longer bear with spending time at the mechanic and worse, it became unreliable. I have missed it dearly though... I can write a lot more but that's all for today. :) [IMG]http://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/index.php?attachments/014-jpg.572165/[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
