If it's boring you're not driving hard enough :lol:

Hard enough to have brake fade with DS2500 pads ;) which was lucky as that was about the limit of my ability anyway.

I can hardly recommend n00bs go to Lakeside with no run off and the highest average lap speed of any track in Australia.
Agreed. I haven't been on Lakeside since it was done up but from all accounts, it is a bit more forgiving than when we used to play on it in the 90's.

I just get bored going round and round and round the same way on the same track all the time, that's one of the reasons why I like the challenge of rallying. The chance to drive flat out on different roads that you have never driven on before, having to read the road conditions and adjust your driving accordingly, and having to listen to your navigator at the same time as well (which is harder than you think).

Different strokes for different folks. :)

All credit to Ro and his peashooteR Colt, he got me on the second run 100%.

The first run, that makes sense if you were off boost, as we were side by side all the way to whatever speed i change for third. that said, i don't have the pleasure of boost, I have to wait to 6000rpm.

regardless, the colt got some serious mumbo, and the stivo, we'll it will eat lesser modded colts for breakfast.

I think ro' has realised the error of his ways and should have bought a stivo,

We all know if he did, it would be the fastest, best looking one at the meets, so maybe i'm glad he didn't.

I have also been on the original surface and it had much more character and required the exact line, not the current 'there abouts' line the new surface allows.

Awwww That takes all the fun out of it. I remember how important it was to hit the apex at the kink, if you were more than a metre wide, you were in for an interesting time. Please tell me the next double apex corner is still tricky to get right? :(

Karosel is about the same, I don't really find it all that tricky; the apex under the bridge is slightly harder to see now that the surface is all the same and there are no longer little markers (resurfacing patches) on the surface to guide you to the apex.

Out of curiosity, what car, specs and lap times were the go in the 90's? The new surface and layout change, from what I have found, is about 1s faster.

QLD is the place to be if you have an Aurion... unlike the Sydney squad that seems to be focussed around ZRE's :P

If you are coming from the Sunny Coast, just be aware not to expect too much. Our meets are nice and simple and can sometimes end up having only a few people turn up. It's just that the drive is a little on the long side and the meet might not leave you satisfied. Who would drive such a distance just for a meet :ph34r: .

My statement was more of a joke. I've turned up to two Sydney meets, once having to drive from Canberra, the other having to drive from the Hunter Valley. I'm that dedicated :lol:.

      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.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      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
