Pointed out the brake master cylinder + res mods which didn't phase him (because the master cylinder is still the same), pcv valve mod and egr mod as well. He pointed out the headers, but moreso out of surprise than anything.

I told him about the brakes and he wasn't phased at all.

Will bring along those redbull as well for you tonight.

I let a blinged up 320i race off from the lights without even trying

Part of me was amazed at how mature i was not to run him into the ground. The other was disgusted that I let such a thing happen.

Had a new set of Adrenalins put on the Corolla and transferred the P7's to the old steel wheels from the Tarago for use as my snow wheels (ie. so the alloys don't get scratched up with snow chains). Had to go to another tyre place after finding one of the P7's had been put on around the wrong way (inside out) and it was too late to back to Bridgestone as they had closed for the day, this and the fact they used the steel wheel nuts (as I had been running out the old Adrenalins that were on the steel wheels) instead of the wheel nuts for alloys so I had to change all of them over, made it too late for changing the brake pads and some suspension components on the Camry. Oh well maybe next weekend?

[xoom]

grabbed 2 bottles of royal purple for the engine ..... some RBF660 to flush the brake fluid ....... need to source some gearbox oil more than likely royal purple and planned for how im going to modify my air box as its sliced into one of my silicon hoses ............ damn custom setups and movement in the engine bay is starting to sh1.t me .... lol

[Andrew357]

Discovered that this little bastido circled in red here:

gets in the way of the install of my UltraRacing 4-point front lower bar which stops my car from looking like this:

Damn non standard exhaust setup. Back to CES I go...

Is that oil on the first pic?

[Andrew357]

Is that oil on the first pic?

yeah it is, first time I've been under the car since I got it.

I wonder how many problems this will cause...!

Meh... that oil is nothing. Should have seen my old Camry. Engine bay was about that oily. Never had issues... just never really cleaned it.

As for me today... I changed my parkers to some LED's. Was waiting for the final ones to arrive in the mail. Now all I need to do is put in another set of HID's since my last ones didn't quite.... last.

[Tofuboi]

I've been very quiet lately with stuff happening to my car. But I got something coming in the mail that should be here tomorrow. Then I need to dedicate a weekend to install it. Stay tuned! :D

Also Daryl, your HID's didnt last? Already!? I still need to get mine done. :(

Oooohhh. Excitement. Fujita? Man I can't wait to see what it is.

Well, there is cheap (which I'm fine with), then there is really cheap (which I pushed my limits with). I thought I could get away with a $39 HID kit.

Actually, the kit seemed quite okay. The way it was shipped though was pretty dodgy. The lamps were protected in their plastic cylinder things, but the ballasts were in a thin cardboard box and then the box placed in a shipping paper-type bag. Basically it was just as protected as shipping the ballast in an envelope.

You can probably imagine what the parcel went through on its way here. First day of use, the HID's were fine. Second day resulted in the passenger side one starting up then going Supernova bright then a pop kind of sound. Lamp looked alright, ballast felt like a million degrees.

For the price of the kit, I CBF sorting it out with the seller.... I just bought another one from someone else.

No no not quite... It's nothing too spectacular. My money has been very short these past few months due to ther committments (like now having seven rims in total due to my little 'accident' busting all 4 in the end) and family stuff. I'm actually quite happy with the sound the car makes with just a panel filter in it at the moment, the CAI stuff was just a bit too wierd.

I just feel the car sits a bit too high.. There's a hint. :P

Where did you get this HID kit from? Because I do need it and I am just not sure exactly what I need, where I need to get it, and how much I should be paying.

(also, do you happen to use msn AT all? or not.)

Put wheel center caps on (looks so much better), cleaned out like 10 smelly tree things (wtf? 10?) outta the dash.

I wish I could have my car completely resprayed. The bonnet's got chips, I want the rear bumper replaced so I can remove the towbar :( Oh well, cant wait to see her again! :D

[Andrew357]

Picked up an aftermarket Sportivo front lip and also some clips for my bonnet cowl.

[DJKOR]

Today I finally got to see what my TRD is putting out at the wheels... before I go touching that y-pipe etc.
