Hey everyone,

i know its raining and all, but just be sure to drive extra careful in the wet... coming down from Helensvale there was a seriously bad accident and well, just a heads up :D

i learnt my lesson, take a roundabout at usual/slow speed, and all i got was understeer...

thankfully i stopped in time before hitting another car next to me :unsure:

So be careful out there... its an ice rink :ph34r:

I'm really scared tonight of driving, its meet up night with the P platers, expecially the red ones, they scare me with their racing, skiding and drifting in the rain. even though im a green Pplater taking it slow, being late by 15 minutes is better than wrecking and wasting several days.

It's your choice to cruise with them.

You're right though, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah my car understeered round a roundabout up a kerb when the road was wet.....$8,000 of damage to the insurer, and it's still being repaired.... :mellow:

Drive like a grandpa when it's wet.

So, so tempted the take the Adub out for a bit of a fang in the wet but I don't think I'll risk it. That thing loses the back end easy enough in the dry.

might want to elaborate what an "Adub" is there buddy. Be nice to see you out at a thursday night meet every now and then seeing as you aren't located too far away.

AW11 MR2. I normally head to bed at around 9 as I get up quite early for work, next Friday is a public holiday? I've just gotten new rotors and pads so I can actually drive the thing on the road without thinking a wheel is about to fall off.

what i ment was that my group meets up and browns plains, just chill in the carpark and look at the cars go by, just see alot of red plates peeling out and what not when we chill (its the only thing we get to meet up with my high school friends).

i counted 8 car accidents today, 4 in inala (one was through a fence almost hitting a house), 2 in browns plains and 2 near logan.

If travelling Pacific Highway near coffs Harbour area please be careful roads slippery and some still flooded. Also pot holes

      Canning Prado or 200

      Hi All Just joined - trying to decide between a Prado or 200 for the CSR next year. l'll be a single in the car in a group of 5 vehicles. Not owing. I appreciate whatever I get will need some mods. And I know I am on the Prado Club forum but I am hoping for some unbiased opinion! The Prado needs to carry less fuel which is a big advantage but what I am more concerned about is whether it is rugged enough. Any thoughts and especially experience, much appreciated! Regards to all. Chris

      2002 Door Handle Issue

      Unusual problem. Driver's side external door handle would not function with window in fully closed position. Would function with window open around 12mm. Removed door trim - visual inspection showed plastic clip at top of one of the actuating rods had become unclipped and was being hit by the metal rail on the bottom of the window glass when the window neared fully closed. Easiest solution was to apply Loctite Extreme Glue to clip and re-attach it to the rod. Fingers crossed it stays attached.

      2ZR Turbo

      How did this project finish up mate , any issues creep up? Im thinking of the same upgrades, but, I have a question around the registration. Here in NSW you cant turbo without it being offered as an original option. Did ypu get an engineer sigh off?

      Hi everyone, new member here. We have two Toyotas, a 2016 Corolla 2ZR-FE and a 2016 Yaris NCP130R. My dad was a huge Holden fan...I've broken that tradition and have become a huge Toyota fan myself! I do a lot of my own maintenance and repairs on our Toyotas where possible so look forward to sharing knowledge and learning even more from the community. Cheers.

      Camry 2007 Electrical Question

      Hi all, New member here. Got couple of issue with a 2007 Camry Altise. The clock/Speed alert screen doesn't work on the dash. It turn on/off periodically. Sometimes it will never turn on, sometimes it turns on for few hours. Does anyone know what could be the issue? Second issue is the horn is not working, checked the plugs they're all good. The screen wheel buttons work except horn. Pressing the find the car button the remote makes the horn go off. But I couldn't get the alarm go off (locked the car and opened the door from window). Any ideas where else I could look? Thanks in advance.
