Hello fellow toyota owners!


As some of you might know Buddy club has only recently been introducted into the Australian market, supplying the automotive community with some of the best motorsports equipment money can buy! Previously, Buddy club has been known for its classic P1 Racing range of wheels, but there is much much more available! Most are unaware of just how extensive the product range is. So why not browse through the equipment we stock on the Buddy club website!
On the Buddy club website you will find the dealer list, the product range along with the specs and prices for each item.

Now we're joining forces with a range of enthusiast forums and groups to help you guys get the most out of Buddy club gear - and your car! Weather you drive drag, circuit or street, we have something to suit your style, we can help!

If you have any questions or comments (offset questions!) - or even want to know what is out there for your ride - feel free to shoot a PM or email our way!

While you're there don't forget to hit us up for some free stickers, subscribe to the mailing list - and send some photos of your Buddy club-equipped ride for the customer gallery! Northy's Corolla is there!

Dont forget we are here to help!!

Big Welcome to the guys from Buddy Club Aus to the forums.

Wow, great suprise. Welcome BC Aus.

Hmmm...photoshoot time tomorrow. Corey it's just you and I on here now with the original P1's ay? Time to unveil some things methinks...

Do you mind providing a link to said website

hi dude i just bought a set of p1sf and loves it so much iam gonna put some photo up on your website and here soon(when it stops raining), is buddy club gonna make some gear for our stivos/celicas??

Buddy Club Website Link!

oops! i must be working too hard



ahhh sweeet!

get out there and grab some photos!! Then send your photos to supportATbuddyclub.com.au, along with your real name or member name and we'll throw it up there!

Aside from that, we have wheels, seats, gearknobs (i think the type B shift knob might potentially be the best-fitting shift knob for the corolla'!), chemicals, condensors, and digimeters which will all suit the corolla and celica! - all available through our trusty dealers - a list of which you can find on our website!

Coilovers however.... i hear whispers


last but not least, thanks for the warm welcome people

Welcome On Board Mate!

thanks Jackie!

a pleasure!

be sure to check out the website regularly people!

Latests new and special offers from dealers are displayed regularly!

ALSO be sure to check out the Digi-meter range!

and still no photos from buddy club customers!!! Common people - Northy's rolla is up there by itself!!!!

AHEM...COUGH COUGH...COUGH, uh...JUSTIN?

*Dances and backflips*

o.O

- Nelson

also, is there anything you guys would like to see Buddy club carry for your cars?

Tell me what is on your mind people!! We're here to look after you people, listen to what you want!

Wheel caps! lol

Hmm...everyone else gets bodykits, why don't we see BC make some nice kits for the Corolla / Echo etc?

The others look bloody fantastic.

the sportivo echo is from tocau too

Not to mention Nelson.

Yeah bodykits would be on my list also.

some engine mods would be nice

haha how embarassing More toyotas!

So we'd like to see more engine mods and perhaps bodykits.... coilovers anyone?

Buddyclub CAI
Buddyclub Airbox mod w. SRI
Buddyclub Sports Muffler (our heads explode if the 2zz-ge is fitted with a cannon design o.O)

Coilovers? Heck yeah. I'm confident BC could even put together a variant that would compliment the harshness of some roads in Australia perhaps?

Also, does BC Australia have a mascot? If not I vote for the Badger.

appreciate your response

yup i think coilovers will be great. give cusco some friendly competition (zero2 are way too expensive for most of us here)
also very keen on what kind of body kits you guys can come up with, and c/f bonnet?

Big brake kit

Not a problem.

Yes good idea Pirate Dave. Brakes.

I have noticed the SpecIV muffler. Wondering what that would sound like on the 2zz-ge. My bet is our heads would still explode past 6,000rpm, BUT it would sure as heck scare people and sssccreeeam.

when are u starting to sponsor this forum?

x2

Coilovers for MR2 AW11... no one makes them except TODA and D2/G4 so they are either uber expensive or not high enough quality for my liking.

I agree, it is what the corolla and celica community is hanging for. Watch for updates on that matter!!

The bodykit is a good idea, and the bonnet idea is great, i'll throw those to the boss!




hmmm nice idea! I'm not sure how feasible it is but i'll throw it in and see what comes of it. Thanks SuperDave



Hmmm exhaust i like that idea! Make people cry when you hit second lobe!



Yo i understand you point of view, but put it this way - but i'm here mostly to help you guys out! I'm hearing out and noting all your situations and there have been some fantastic ones! And surely a company of Buddy club's stature, quality and reputation wanting to serve the corolla market is a good thing!

Buddy club has support in Australia, whereby if you have any qualms with our gear, or any other problems - you can approach us no problem!

I know in my own experience many other companies are reluctant to help out! If you bend one of your cusco zero2's or they're faulty - you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that wants to hear you out!

Like i said, we're here to help you all out!

i've also noted your suggestion mr ipood! I'll see what the big bosses have to say


Thanks again for your suggestions guys, lets see what we can make of them!

STAY TUNED

man if BC were able to offer the following id snap them up in a second !!!!!

1. race headers like the ones designed for the Hondas
2. catback system
3. coilovers made to N1 spec (must be more hardcore than zero2 )
4. legit cf hood
5. a nice and simple lip kit or a subtle body kit

one can always hope....

i understand u're here to help and all that. not doubting that bit. i just wanna see where the line is drawn as to being labelled a "merchant". Anyone remember ignitionX? he got some serious slapping

also coz there's always issues about some dubious posts being "advertising" (CES) and some ppl being "mouthpieces", paid or not.

then there's also "members" that are "helping out" other members, which sometimes seem too good to be true.

i've never doubted anything from buddyclub. if i didn't, Northy's car wouldn't be on your webpage at all (probably Advan's). It looks like the new buddyclub management seem to know what they're doing now, unlike a couple of years ago...

one of the things u guys could do is to reduce your lead times as much as u can. waiting 8-12weeks for a set of P1s is a pain, esp for a commodity size like 17x7 4x100. oh yeah, buddyclub makes some decent seats, if i remember correctly and also rails for the runX. perhaps getting them ADRed would be good. and also stuff for OTHER CARS. JDM doesn't really rule that much <runs>

Another product would be a brake master cylinder brace

Hey, thanks again for your concern - let me clarify our position here:

We're different to Ignition-X, main difference bieng that Ignition X was selling things - we aren't. We are a wholesaler, not only are we not allowed to sell anything, but we dont even have access to stuff to sell!

Secondly - If you're waiting 8-12 weeks for a set of wheels then you're probably not dealing with an official distributor, and whatever wheels you do buy won't be covered under warranty. There are literally piles and piles of wheels at the warehouse, maximum lead time would be three business days.

Thridly - In relation to the seats, ADR approval costs MEGABUCKS - there is a reason why 95% of seat manufacturers don't ADR their seats - its not worth doing!


Again, surely someone wanting to service the largely neglected corolla market is a good thing! If you guys aren't interested say the word and i'll dissapear

don't take things the wrong way man, i'm just raising all these things NOW before things get ugly. someone sooner or later is just going ask the same things. if u read thru this forum, there's always been sensitive issues with anyone who has a relation with any business.

there was no official distributor to deal with back then. lucky we have you now.

ok, cool. now we know your stance on the seats. thanks for being positive.

Just for the record:

Buddyclub P1 17x7 are still being produced yes?

Cheers dude.

As far as seat go, they don't need to meet ADRs specifically, they can meet an equivalent international standard as well, ie many racing seats and harnesses have FIA approval which also meets (and surpasses) all ADR requirements. I'll do some more reading up on it.

Hey, its all gravy - i was bieng lighthearted. Its good to see someone with the
community health in mind!



absolutley! Everything we stock is on the website, AND priced!

www.buddyclub.com.au


Ahh insurance companies - can't give with them, can't live without them

Thanks again folks!

hey i noticed that on ya site, only the P1 SF have 16 inch rims listed
does that mean u guys dont stock 16s in P1 and P1 QF??
or u do, but just havnt listed them

thanxs

edit: unfortunately, it doesn't look as though we are able to get the QF's in - and Buddy club stopped making the p1's in 16 inch

Sorry guys

and when r u guys gonna get some more lug nuts? i wanted to order them with my rims but its out of stock

PM sent

Mr Buddyclub im interested in the seats and know the price but how much are the equivalent BC runx seat rails to go with them????

Welcome aboard mate

Already sent you a pm

I'm def interested in BC stuff. I'll be even more interested when the BC range broadens to include more bolt on products for our rolla's

only one piece at the moment. Soon we're due to get a big fat shipment of 1.5 thread wheel nuts to suit toyota's! Stay tuned!




The prices are on the website mate! The rails i am unsure about - however i know of a place that does custom rails (he did my custom rails) - and they're super fantastic quality

so approx 860 for the seat + rails. Its possible that buddyclub don't make rails for the zze - if not i'll be happy to put you in contact with my friend who can sort you out!



Yo dude! Replied Thanks for the welcome



I'm working on that right now!

Welcome aboard buddy club!!

My possible wants would be some engine dress up kits(carbon fibre covers or billet ally ones) and straight bolt on big brake kits.

Shao take a chill pill bro. It's all good and has approval from the mod team. So sit back relax and spend some more money on your latest car!!! Or the new one you are getting next week perhaps:)

*The curtains poetically grace themselves back, as a mother would unfurl her arms from her newborn, and there emerges an Aston Martin Vantage driven by a baby faced asian dude, who is most likey, very very uber.*

Ah well i wasn't aware of that! I don't think we make the 2 piece nuts, i dont think any other japanese companies make two piece nuts as far as i am aware. It sounds like a 2 piece nut wouldn't be a structurally safe as a one piece aluminium nut anyway. If you use a torque wrench and follow manufacturer's specifications there shouldn't be any problem

That bieng said i might be wrong haha!




Thanks SILVA! We're looking into parts at the moment, we're sending a set of stock suspension over to head office next week so they can develop a set specifically to suit our needs!

That will be the first step, anything else we will get onto after that Thanks for the support!

And thanks to everyone else, please don't hesitate to ask us any questions you might have!!

and some bodykits for the rolla would be nice, or even just a CB bonnet with vents, c-one products r soooo expansive!
