  1. When I was in Thailand at the start of the year I'm pretty sure I saw Corolla's with 2ZZ's, I didn't go looking for parts but I'm fairly certain they were around, although they were sedan and not hatch as previously stated.
  2. I got it! Was actually really easy once I got those spring clips off which were really easy as well once you work out which way they need to go, the manual wasn't too helpful in that respect. Thanks everyone for their input.
  3. Can this all be done while the headlight is still attached to the car? I've got small hands and still find trouble getting it into the space thats there.
  4. Hi all, Recently both my bulbs went out for low beams, within days of each other. I've checked my fuses and they all seem ok, high beams and parking lights all work still as well. So I've went and gotten some new bulbs but I am having alot of trouble removing my old ones. Do I need to remove my headlight? I've managed to get those little black covers off the back of the headlight to expose the bulb/plug but I can't seem to pull it out. Anyone got any tips on how to install new bulbs into an 05 Stivo? Any help would be much appreciated. PS: I've been skimming through threads but can't seem to find any mention of how to install bulbs
  5. The car can handle it but your basically pushing it to the edge on that kind of bend with traffic like you said there is no room for error, I actually liked the stock setup... I know everyone looks down on the Turanzas but I feel Toyota did ok with pairing them with the stock shocks/springs
  6. how much r those per-corner ?:P $200 per corner when i got it. Sam has contacts with donellan's in box hill and can get tyres on skyline club discount price. Cheap as sssssss ................. The Hankook K104 Optimo (stock size) I have are ......... Dealer put them on to pass RWC. So i decided to put them to the test This morning, I took a turn at 80 on dry road (Dandenong Road turning into Westall Road in Mulgrave, VIC), 4th gear and as I was almost out of it (the turn), drop to 3rd and accelerate, hit LIFT in 5 seconds and then traffic lights so I jam the brakes. ABS works (i think). The tyres were screeching allllllllllllllllllll the way during the turn. Backside was wobbling a little but was still OK. Stuck to my left lane as the middle and right was full of cars so no room for error. Was good. But a little loud. None the less, I can't wait to get them off my car and put some better stuff in although Ken san will surely dis-agree with me. Car is still a stocky. No mods or bars yet :P Going at 80 you should have started in 3rd, and are you talking about the princess hwy/westall rd turn-off? left lane on that turn off isn't really a smart place to be doing 80, I've seen cars go straight into the light pole at the end of it.

  8. Opps, too late. Already put it in. I must say shifting at high revs have never been smoother. Not notchy at all. Low revs still a little crappy but i'll get over it ..... soon. 125ml X 2 bottles with Redline ShockProof LightWeight does it. Will change the gearbox oil in less than 30,000 KM anyways. We'll see how they fair. Oh SB, if only we can get access to some of those Roil magic stuff, I won't be in this situation using the crap stuffff ..... :P Any chance of a GB for that ???? As for the TRD Suspension, was it $525 for the shocks and springs combo or just the springs? Sorry, just needed to get it right. 525 for springs and 850ish for shocks
  9. go TRD!! i was going to call Lane and get one. They can source it for around 350
