mate borrowed my car last night, got done for street racing. so today i happily took it back off him

raceing another car with an under in an aurion behind him, the kid is on the ball...*slaps forehead*

Well.... he chose to borrow an Aurion and I guess he couldn't resist.

yeh your right cant control himself, he drives a 4cyl normally so he must have got a bit exited, accumulation of 8 point and if they clocked him 1 km/h faster the car would have got impounded

Not what I did to it, but someone else decided to smash the windscreen with a brick. While it was parked in my driveway.

Sad to hear mate hope it gets sorted quickly and smoothly.

New one going in on Monday, could of been today but I couldnt drive it down to the glass place to get done. Got no excess unlimited windshield cover on insurance and I've got a police report etc. so should go smoothly. Second time my car has been vandalized.

Oh and who the **** street races in their mates borrowed car. Very lucky it didn't get impounded.

I mentioned it before, but you don't tint your windscreen. Not many people these days even tint that upper section anymore. Your windscreen replacement will cover just that... the windscreen replacement.

If you have to make a claim that involves them replacing any side windows though that were tinted, then generally they will cover the charge of getting the replaced window tinted.

I'll buy some 10mm ID oil hose, don't trust the hose that came with it (was only a cheapy).

I was just going to see how much space I had to zip tie it to the charcoal canister :lol: Otherwise I'll have to make a mount.

I'm just going to intercept the rear-ward hose on the valve cover that goes to the plenum. Keep the stock hose on the plenum side as it is a huge hose barb, while the other end is pretty small going to the catch can. Add new hose between valve cover and catch can.

One of headlight globes blew, so off I went to the Repco to buy a replacement for $36 and fitted it in.

Looked at my oil catch can and am contenplating on selling it because I can't find a decent place to mount it.

Took it to the Toymods dyno day, highest in my category (1.8 - 2.8L n/a), not many people in that category though.

I got 115.6kw, and I think I should get a retune...the power curve fails to climb in the last 1000rpm :(

      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!!! :)
