Interesting. That brian88 guy keeps pumping out new threads. Something must be up with that. I guess we will just have to wait for Steve to make an adjustment to it.

I put 2500km on my car within 2 days after buying it, then a further 2000km over the next couple of weeks. I wouldn't even call that bad.

My CD player in the Aurion started playing up today, ERROR 3 seems to be a popular one. I tried inserting another CD in there whilst pushing eject, and got nothing.

Should I try and get it repaired under warranty, OR should I use this as an excuse to upgrade to something with a screen :D

Hello people

Is the ALTIS 2003-6 in Thailand same as the zze122R 2005 in Australia?

I am looking for some parts from oversea.

Thanks in advances

My stupid question:

I know track days are pretty aggressive on brake pads, but I changed my brake pads (QFM HPX) at about 75,000km and now am at around 77,000km. In that time, I did about 3 Nebo runs and 1 track day. Just took my pads off now to apply anti-squeal grease and noticed my front pads have up to 2mm of material left before the wear indicators.

This is a little too fast wouldn't you think?

Hey everyone,

i require people's opinions on what i should do...

THE DILEMMA:

I have owned my computer for some 8 or 9 years now, and would really like to upgrade.

However, i have a few options on what i should do...

1. Purchase a Complete Tower with running system all ready to go

2. Purchase a Notebook/Laptop for ease of use, and versatility

3. Build my own system from scratch and have it customised any way I would like.

Now what i require for 'the' system to do is capable of handling Photoshop, and not crash out, Gaming will be high on the priority, and also a decent Processor...

May I please have your opinions on what's the best thing to do/ your experiences?

Thankyou,

Evo

Go option 3. Can work out really cheap for high performance. That's what I used to do in the past.

Now I personally go for number 2 but that's cause I just need a computer for the forums and nothing else really.

If gaming and photoshoping are the two biggest needs then go option 3. This will give you the most performance and bang for buck.

one tip... If you get a x86 CPU get a max of 4GB of memory as anymore than that cant technically be used by the processor.. if you get x64 go for way more memory.

Alright,

so taking both of your advice, i have decided to go with build my own system...

now how am i to check what is compatible with what?

Here is the list of what i have chosen, and i am not sure about Hard Drive space and Ram.

(Using Umart Online)

Processor

Motherboard

Case

Power Supply

Graphics Card

As it stands, i don't require a new monitor, or a new mouse and keyboard...

So will these parts function with each other?

Thankyou for all your help :D

Sorry, links fixed lol :P

yes, RAM i am not too sure of what the difference is in brand names and sizes...

and HDD... is that the Hard Drive? I think i would go for a bigger then usual, cause i like to store alot of photos.

Budget not really worried about, but i don't need to go all out and spend big for what I am after.

whats the best way to debadge my car without scratching the paint?

Still using the traditional hair dryer and fishing line method. Just make sure you pull tension on the fishing wire towards you (and the rear surface of the badge) so it effectively does not touch the body of the car. This would probably end up leaving more adhesive on the body, but that's nothing Goo Remover/Eucalyptus Oil and a soft cloth can't remove. You will probably need to use a swirl remover/cut and polish afterwards anyways.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
