Just over a week to go :D I hope my new brake rotors and pads turn up in time.

Are we going to meet up somewhere on the way, or at the track? Last time i met Zee at the suttons forest servo/maccas.

I'm still up for this...

Suttons Forrest would be good for me as I'll be coming up the Illawarra Highway, what time you looking at?

For those that don't know Suttons Forest is here... about 5 mins off the Hume Highway up the Illawarra Highway (it takes ages to drive through Moss Vale compared to turning off at the Illawarra Highway exit)

Should be able to meet u guys there between 8-8.30am. Hope the weather holds up though.. and my car ain't prepped for the track yet so might be taking it a little easy this time round. Haven't got time to take the car in for service so i have old engine oil, old transmission oil, old brake fluid and half worn tyres. Plus i think my shock absorbers have had it, making a lot of noises recently. :( Hmm..

It's OK Zee, I'm sure you'll still be qucker then my stocker... worn tyres and all :P

Plus still haven't got around to getting the clutch work done, just been too busy, so i'll be doing a slight short-shifting and hoping to keep in Lift as much as I can. Will be interesting... I'm pumped though :D

Bad news about the suspension though... hope it is OK and nothing too serious, had you reported noises before lowering, because that is my concern about lowering, is if I am getting noises now that they can't diagnise, how will it be then, and what about warranty??? Anyway I need to bight to bullet and do the suspension some time...

Cool!! Is it a stocker gts-t? I will try to see if i can at least get fresh fluids into the car tomorrow morning.. a little paranoid about turning up at the track without fresh fluids.. the tyres are going for sure and the shock absorbers will make way soon (watch out for me in the corners, might go cross country a bit more!). And of course the way overdue clutch and flywheel WILL get done during my next service.

Cheers for a great day Dave...

There were sh!t loads of cars there and far too many Monaros for my liking (just seemed to be taking up space cos they weren't going too fast. ZEE, too bad you couldn't make it, your SMS hit me just as I got on to Macquarie Pass so unable to reply, you could have come down later in the day if you really wanted, oh well, next time.

But my feelings from my baseline run was that the stivo ROCKS... like we didn't already all know that. All the Commodore guys were amazed by how well they go and were real interested with what mods we had done to get them sooo quick, and wanted to know waht turbos we had fitted, they quickly went red when we told them mine was stock as a rock and that they were N/A.

I think power / weight is well in our advantage as we could brake so much later and better mid corner speed also. Plus kept with (or pulled out in Daves case) down the straight.

Lets get a few more out next time, it's a great fun day that is not too expensive when you think about it, you just have to be prepared for the 'just in case anything happens' situation that i'd rather not think about.

But to get a feel for what happens you can join Dave and Myself as spectators for the Circuit Club track day on ANZAC Day (Mon 25th April)

see this thread...

Damn it, should have gone down around 2pm after i woke up :( Missed my chance to stun some V8 Monaros.. Now i just got to make up for it on the streets i guess :P

Sorry Dave and Dylan for the very late notice.. picked up a night shift and thought i would be okay since i finish at 7am but i was so buggered after that shift i thought i might drive off the cliff while crusing up Macquarie pass if i went.. Really should have gone though bcos i felt like sh&t after my morning nap..

Anyway.. the next track day shouldn't be too far away since the weather is getting cooler and this time my car will be ready and we will make it 3 Stivos next time. Dave and i have yet to see more than 2 Stivos turn up at Wakefield so next time we better make it happen! :D

btw any pics?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
