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?

Is that oil on the first pic? :blink:

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.

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.)

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
