Just for those out there who are curious how much a ZRE can drink.. :whistling:

It's only been less than 4,000kms since the last service, but decided to change the oil since I did a track day shortly after the last service and I'm about to drive to Qld for the annual meet. :) And thank goodness it was changed; oil was darker than all pervious servicing I done at 10,000kms! :blink:

Then clay'd and polished the car. I guess I did something right. By I, I mean Vinh, Johnny and I. :P

Mad offset bro! :whistling:

So my ZRE survived the trip to the Annual Meet in QLD! Got two nail punctures in the front right. Put the spare on (Man, it felt weird!). Found out that one nail was too close to the side wall, that tyre was pretty much gone.

Went to my tyre dealer I usually go to, found out that they don't make Toyos T1Rs anymore; they were replaced by T1 Sports which looked less aggressive. Before ordering 2x Toyo T1 Sports for the fronts, I quickly read a few reviews and most of them said they were better than the T1Rs in dry/wet performance and in noise. I haven't driven much on the T1 Sports, but first impressions are that they are definitely less noisy! Performance wise, I'm yet to find out!

The guy at the tyre dealer was good to me. In the period I was waiting for the toyos to come, he gave me a spare 225/45 tyre for me to drive, rather than me driving on my spare. Not bad of a tyre in the dry, but I felt it was not good in the wet.

Thanks for reading!

P.s. Been driving this beast for work while mine gets fixed. D22/D40s are generally bulletproof!

ooh damn,there's an idea,lower and add two inches to that stockie :spiteful:

Hehehe I should find another 17x8 rim and put that as my spare; as now I got a spare T1R lying around. Driving on that spare made me remember what difference the 8" wide and toyos made!

where on the bottom of the car are you lifting it from?

There is a point under the side skirt for lifting. I usually do not lift it from the side but from the lifting points at the front and back.

There are no real updates, just a shot from a meet yesterday. :)

Thinking about full exhaust with twinloop muffler. "Thinking", because I do not want it too loud! :unsure:

Still thinking about full exhaust. Maybe I have to drive Huey's or Jay's car first; I want it more subtle. :rolleyes:

Winton was so fun! Shame I only pushed it in the last 3 laps after your instructions Trung! :lol: Talking about Winton, interested in the one on Cup day! :spiteful:

      New member seeking advice for parts

      Hi guys! I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it! The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement? I don't mind if is not oem part as far as it works 😅 I'm based in Brisbane if it makes some kind of difference Pictures attached as reference

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
