Replying to: balithai (Jun 14, 2006 2:14 pm) I am in the SF bay area and invited quotes via Edmunds from a number of dealers (using different zip codes). I have received many positive responses. Still trying to locate the color I want, Nobody hasd asked for a non-refundable deposit yet.

Replying to: willybill (Jun 14, 2006 10:56 am) Just came accross this SHORT TAKES review on the TCH by Car & Driver magazine dated June 2006. They claim the 0-60 speed is 7.7 seconds.   Interesting review. Thanks for posting.   I notice in the specs that they claim the car is 0.5 sec faster from 0-60 mph than from 5-60 mph. Seems counter-intuitive! Replies to this message: spiff72 (Jun 14, 2006 3:42 pm)

Replying to: bmgoodman (Jun 14, 2006 10:56 am) What area did you find this document in, the service manual? What part/heading did it fall under?   I want to take a look at it, but I am thinking I might have seen that somewhere else.

Replying to: hybridriver (Jun 14, 2006 3:21 pm) Actually that is fairly common. It is the result of starting out in a higher gear (sometimes), and then requiring the transmission to downshift to accelerate.

Replying to: hardchemist (Jun 14, 2006 2:07 pm) Car looks awesome. The new wheels on it make the car stand out. Congratulations.... Keep the wax on it though, you know what the sun does to red paint here in Florida!!

Replying to: hardchemist (Jun 14, 2006 2:07 pm) I would like to know what wheel/tire combo you are using. They do look great.   I am one of those engineer-types that is anxiously waiting for my TCH to show up so I can geek out over it too!   The wait is excruciating.

Replying to: spiff72 (Jun 14, 2006 3:49 pm) Thanks to everyone who likes what I did to the Camry! I took great pleasure in driving 2 miles down from the dealer to the tire shop to swap the tires. They were a bit unsure of how to swap the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors from the old rims to the new rims and still get everything to balance right. So they ended up doing the following: 1) mounting the TPMS sensors to the new rim (TPMS is integrated with the valve stem) 2) balance the rim only (no rubber on it yet) - took about 1.25oz. 3) put tire on rim 4) balance again as you would a normal tire   Smooth as silk up to 80MPH (all I've taken it to so far)...   So there you go! Since I removed the stock rims and tires at 4 miles on the odometer I should get between $500 - $600 on ebay for the set with the customer paying the $100 for shipping.   So the whole thing, after I get back part of the money on ebay, will have cost me under $500 including mounting and balancing.   BTW I updated with another pic, and a jpg with the rim and tire data here Replies to this message: tsy (Jun 14, 2006 10:19 pm) hardchemist (Jun 15, 2006 3:23 am) hybridriver (Jun 15, 2006 5:34 am) and 1 more...
