Had a set of Alpine Type R 6.5 splits installed in the front and a set of Alpine 6.5 coax installed in the rear of the Corolla. Have the two sets of Alpine Type R 6x9's to go into the Camry but they are still sitting in the boot, haven't got around to installing them yet. Still trying to work out what to use in the front of the Tarago - 6.5 splits or 6x9 coax. If I go for the splits will either use the JDM premium system grills for the tweeters or go for the JDM Alpine pillar mounts for them

Found a small dent above the LHF door handle...fark knows how it happened and it's in a weird spot :angry:

hoping it's not to close to the fold on the top of the door,hopefully the dent guy can perform his magic and make it vanish.

not happy Jan

Mine aren't blinding.. They are something.

Fixed up all the wiring and put in the new battery thanks to Dee and Stu for getting a good price on a HD battery. So tired I didn't get an extinguisher, but I'll get it tomorrow.

Knowing my luck, I'll get another bay fire before I get it.

Oh how I miss bass!

Scored a 400w RMS 12" Kenwood sub in Kenwood box from a mate over the weekend. Bridged it on my Alpine v12 MRV-F545.

Not as punchy as my old 12" Alpine Type R. But it'll do.

lol thats the same sub as I'm rockin the Sherpa lawz! haha...

Speaking of which - the following has been done to my cars in the last 3 weeks...

- picked up a set of watanabe knock offs for $80 - resprayed them (in black) and put new rubber on them (for the Sherpa)

- spray painted the drums and calipers subaru blue on the sherpa

- momo seat covers and new floor mats for the sherpa

- no name multimedia head unit with US Audio 250w amp, 12" Kenwood 1200w sub, and clarion 3way splits in the sherpa

- New KYB rear struts for the Corolla

And today I have to take one of the wheels back to the tyre shop because its losing air severely so not sure what they have done but they need to fix it... and will probably wash both cars today, start dying the interior bits and pieces of the sherpa, and possibly fulsh the radiator to see whether I need to buy a new one or not...

Well I bought it with 18,361km on it and that was when it was 2 years and 9 months old.

Now with it on 100,124km on it and being 4 years and 1 month old, that means it covered 81,763km in 1 year and 3 months. I don't care so much for re-sale value.

Today I finally got new tyres for the car. I settled for michelin tyres. They were $170 each but got them for $150 each. All up everything cost me $650. Got the balance and alignment done and the guy pumped up the tyres using that nitrogen stuff. Not that I believe in it but oh well. It was free of charge so why not.

Very happy with these tyres. The car hugs the road and they are so quiet :).

These are the tyres I got Michelin Primacy LC & Michelin Primacy LC

Some guy on that site said he got them fitted for $850. I must have got a damn good deal!

Good reviews too :D from everyone. Which is a plus as I did no research and just agreed to the tyre the guy said.

Today I spent 6 hours detailing the car. It had been over a month since I last washed and the car looked like it was in need of huge TLC. Woke up nice and early and started the cleaning.

First started with a quick wash, then clay bared the whole car, washed it again this time thoroughly, gave the new Michelin tyres a very good sudsy wash, hosed down the engine bay, dried the whole car thoroughly, then applied meguiras tyre shine gel around the black plastic parts in the engine bay, then waxed the whole car using nxt gen wax with my wax attack buffer, tyre shined the new shoes, used meguiras dash spray inside the car and gave the interior a very thorough vacuum. Wiped all windows inside and out, sprayed glen 20 spray disinfectant on all the floor mats, closed the doors, locked her up in the garage and sat back and just starred at her looking her very best :D :D :D

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
