Celica Forums General Discussion General Experienced LIFT for the first time today...

lets just say i hit lift at least 6 times a day, i love hitting it, its just like sex, you cant get enough of it

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffffftt!!

your comparing a celica to the evo8? thats crazy.

the evo is gonna be the better of the two, just because its Turbocharged. take away the Turbo and you get a faster Lancer.

you cant compare Lift with Turbo. Turbo owns.

but lift is the best thing...until you can Turbo charge a 2ZZ, then lift-and-turbo will be the best thing.

the lift hits ur more in the celica than rsx vtec because the powerband right before lift is a huge hole then it jumps up, that is why if you dont land lift on ur shifts u'll land in the hole and it slows you way down

since i've test drive an evo i can tell you this, at 3K rpm, it just gradually starts to pull. there is no sudden jumps like the lift. all you see is the speedo going up very fast...

When we were driving on the freeway in her car, and she kept hitting lift, she said, "this is better than sex!"

So I thought to myself...hmmm, maybe we should see if it's better.

She must have not had very good sex

LOL!


Not rich??? C'mon. That's ridiculous. A seventh gen celica always costs more than 10 grand. GTS, so we can talk lift here. I'm going to confidently say that pretty much anyone with a celica comes from a middle class family. If you claim you're too poor to afford a Turbo, get a frickin job. If you say you spooge when you hit lift, you're gonna have an orgasm of death when you experience the 15psi boost from STi or a vette on takeoff. Not to rip on lift, but seriously...be realistic.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like an ass.

Lift + Turbo = no-no...i know i don't own a Turboed 2zz but i read quite a few things about it and i hear a lot about it from the pros... bottom line is vtec(lift) n Turbo don't work. sumthin about lift engagement cancelling out the Turbo spool er suttin..just ask sum1 w/ a 2z Turboed.. they'll explain why ya hafta tune it w/ a power fc.

also, w/ a Turbo forcing compressed air into your high revving vtec engine, there is a possibility you can retard the strokes in your engine. so you have air coming in w/ already compressed air not ready for exit yet. n that's how you "blow" ur engine. so u'll hafta get lower compression pistons, rods and basically cancel out the lift.

but you are right that Turbo owns all.

exactly what I was thinking. engagements get broken all the time...

Even with my PFC, I'll take sex if it's hit-able.

The first thing I thought when I drove a 6SPD GTS was only if this thing had that kind of power all the way up. You shouldn't have to rev the piss out of a motor to get it to make horsepower. Dammit, they should have built it as a 2.2L motor with VVTi-L.

u mean VVTL-i?...oh

right. torque actually. PFC.

10grand doesnt not egual an evo. you can get a clipse or somethign but no evo. unless those real olds one. but those arnt over here i dont belive.

--thats was my 1st comment. but now looking at a lot of peoples houses on the boards and such. i say mabey 50% at best could afford one. but not cleary everyone w/a GTS. and plust a evo insuance would be outrages.

^^Why are you saying an EVO?? I don't have one. I just test drove one for fun. That's totally irrelevant. I'm just saying that a Turbo much more superior to lift.

...but thats Turbo...lift and v-tec(boo) comes from n/a..of course you r gonna feel crazy boost from a Turboed engine but getting boost(so to speak) from a n/a car is pret-ee sweet...

Hey as some of you might know i have a GTS that i didnt start since the day i got it so i never felt "lift" hmm i cant wait , so how do you get lift and wats the car doing when you get lift?

Just redline your car you will know what "LIFT" is believe me, you will love it!

alright cant wait im gona do it before my stupid salvage inspection because im sick of waitin to drive my car

wat gears can you expirience lift in???

1-5!!! 3rd gear is out whore gear! I think 5th gear is a whore gear too because you can be in LIFT for daaaaaays!

yea i was thinkin too , you prob cant be in lift for to long in 1st and 2nd because you burn ur engine

And that's exactly what i mean. Turbo is one thing. Ever been in a C5 Z06 that just throw you back into the seat?
