weather isn't looking like it will be too crash hot this weekend. Hopefully it's just the weatherman's typical accuracy when it comes to predicting rain

This is something that can probably be organised outside the annual meet boundaries anyway :)

5 1/2 days to go :)

Just a heads up to the Sydney Peeps, the Midnight Express will be leaving on the dot from thronleigh Maccas.

I'll be at the BP at the end of the freeway at 1:30 then, what channel for CBs?

or maybe at the roundabout, they have a driver reviver set up there every year, could have a quick cuppa and a bikkie? unless people want to buy something from the BP ?

I'm not. In filling with rage.

Calipers need painting, wheel arches and engine bay needs degreasing and cleaning, cut and polish needs to be done, then sealant/glaze/wax stacking, interior needs a clean PLUS Project X needs to be completed.

Arrghhh!!!!

Ahhh. Tis what happens when you get really anal about your car :lol:. I respect your dedication though because I have lost mine.

After my movie tonight though, it will be up on jack stands and I will be cleaning out the engine bay and attempt the underbody.

I won't be entering the Show and Shine, but some part of me wants the car spotless. Nebo on Friday is going to mess it up. Shotgun front :lol:

I'm entering the Show n Shine not because I think my car will win anything (it won't), but because I want to support the club and if I'm driving 900km to go there I might as well enter.

Times like this I wish I'd taken today off work as well, going to be difficult to cram all the stuff in tomorrow along with getting decent sleep before midnight...

Well, forecast changed from 'rainy periods' to 'possible shower'. The percentage hasn't changed and neither has the forecast level (20-40mm).

If it rains, Mother Nature better be prepared for the wrath.

Hey guys. To make it easier for me to give a slightly more accurate head count to the guys at Hog's Breath, I have created a poll to give me some rough figures. I ask that you please place your votes by this Friday morning so I can update them on a rough count. Thanks.

I'm thinking of entering the show n shine, also just to support the club and show off the interior a bit.

That's pretty much why I enter. But I will contribute and be on display as such, but no-one can vote for me.

I have now created a schedule for my cleaning. Aimee currently sits clean in my garage waiting for tomorrow. At that point it shall be something like this:

Thursday

8:30-9:30 : Clay

9:30-10:30 : Application of Sonax Xtreme Wax (requires immediate buffing)

10:30-11:00 : Lift front of car onto jack stands, remove wheels and clean thoroughly and apply Nano coat then wax.

11:00-12:00 : Thoroughly clean the front wheel arch area including brakes. Will apply Disc Brake Stop Squeal while I'm at it due to current issues.

12:00-13:00 : Chillax

13:00-15:30 : Remove splash guards from under engine bay and clean as much as possible that I can there.

15:30-16:30 : Refit brakes, wheels and drop car back down.

Car will then be used for various duties unfortunately.

Friday

8:30-12:00 : Lift rear onto jack stands. Clean wheels, etc just like the fronts.

12:00-13:00 : Rest

13:00-15:00 : Clean engine bay to best of abilities.

15:00-17:00 : Clean interior thoroughly.

Friday night meet will then occur then.

23:00-23:30 : Give car a gentle quick wash to remove road grime.

23:30-00:00 : Apply layer of Bowden's Own Auto Body Wax. Leave on overnight.

Saturday

06:00-06:30 : Buff off wax from the evening.

06:30-07:30 : Lift car and give a quick wipe-down to anything that may have gotten dirty.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
