Re: "Kentucky AE86: A Levin Story"
I attended my first ever track day yesterday! And let me tell ya, that was seriously the most fun I've ever had with a car in my entire life. It was at the NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green KY and their Grand Full course. It was so cool to be able to go full throttle around a legitimate race tra...

Just their standard "Gunmetal Gray" color. I love it because it has a little bronze tint in the sunlight.

How does it drive? The tC always seemed like a pretty good platform variation. I liked the look. I don't know what people were expecting for the price. Granted, I don't think Toyota realized that millenials were probably not gonna be able to afford even a $17k car at the time, so it could have been...

Re: Reps or real?
The design definitely looks familiar, but the exact model doesn't ring a bell. Although given how old they look, I'd say they're original.
There has to be some kind of marking on the back that tells the info.

Re: Speeduino? Arduino powered ECU?
You have a couple of options to get that square wave signal. Easiest would be to go to the junkyard and pick a crank sensor off a 90s ford equipped with EDIS. Then you would need a trigger wheel, i used the one from T3 cause it bolts right on to their crank pulley. Make sure you use shielded wiring...

Re: FX-16 gear ratio/manual trans
Yeah I'm with Aukword. I think your best bet would be finding a smaller final drive. Surely there's an option out there for the fwd/mr2 guys out there. I know all the b-series honda dudes would swap the 5th gear out of LS integras since they're longer, but idk what thats like for the fwd 4age guys.
