Well Done Buddha - thanks...

Just to explain to you folks at home what happened, I had spent half of Saturday Morning assisting SILVABULLIT detail the underbody of his car so he could enter, and I fronted up on Sunday to the Show N Shine as a spectator.

At the last minute we discovered that there was a stock catagory (which I was eligible for) and there was only one or 2 other vehicles in.

As we had some of SILVABULLIT's detailing gear in the car and my car was filthy, we had my car ready in 10 minutes.  Results pending.......

Thanks Buddhae for showing a good 30 seconds of my plumber's crack... :P

Don't know about the plumbers crack; I'd say more like a bulky postage slot :lol:

Good work Buddha on the movie and I'm glad you didn't zoom in on Azza's bulk mail slot!!

Yeah, I haven't worked out how to zoom on that little thing, yet ... probably a good thing in hindsight! :P

Congrats Buddha, that has to be the BEST pun I've ever heard... seriously... ROFL

It was unintentional, but I'll take the credit nonetheless! :D

Went to the TCCAQ meeting tonight, no-one was giving any hints, I'm afraid.

However, I can say that at the committee meeting that someone beat me to mentioning this situation and it has been noted and in future, they will have a preliminary announcement of winners at the event and then have the official trophy awaiting at the dinner.

Well, tonight was the TCCA-Q Presentation Dinner, and I'm pleased to say that all entrants from this forum won awards for the Show and Shine! Here are the awards we won, as I recall them:

Steve and the Buddhamobile - 1st Place, Post-89 Contemporary class (3 mods or less)

Aaron and the Wed Wocket - 2nd Place, Post-89 Contemporary class (3 mods or less)

Brennden and the Silvabullit - a heap of trophies, best this, best that, probably best if he fills in the spaces here!

I'm particularly rapt that any car of mine should win anything at all! :huh:

Congrats to Azza and Silvabullit for their haul, but if you both wouldn't mind just not turning up next year so I can win again, that'd be great! B)

Ah, DrPsi, welcome to the forums! I'm an old Starlet fan so I took the chance to have a look at your car at the Show and Shine and at the All Toyota Day ... very nice.

Although the Starlet crew couldn't make the dinner, you did get a mention for your excellent turn-out at the Show and Shine, so please let everyone know that you are welcome to come to any meetings or events that you might be interested in.

Thanks for your comments, Craig. Unfortunately, Silva did miss out on the Perpetual Trophy, which was won by Deb who had a Celica at the event, it seemed that any "Best Bit" trophy she missed, Brennden picked it up.

At some stage, I think the Wed Wocket, the Silvabullit and the Buddhamobile need to get together for a photo with their trophies to put in the Club gallery.

Yep well couldn't emulate what Danthuyer did last year as there was obviously a lot more cars turned out for this years show than at previous ones.

In a "pro Celica" environment I knew it would be kinda hard but we gave it a go and come away with some success.

I got Runner up in the post 1989 modified class to a ST184 Celica(looked kinda stock lol)

Also runner up in the Best overall/car of the day category.

Won best overall underbody.

Runner up in the People's choice category.(But no trophy awarded :( )

Anyways a good night and got to chat with a few of the longstanding members of the TCCA and exchanged a few funny stories about working in the auto industry.

Congrats to Buddha(1st) and Azza(3rd) for the Contempory post 1989 class. :D

Again a big thanks to Azza for his help and a big thanks to me for giving the Azza mobile a very quick 15 minute detail which netted him a trophy lol. :P

Yeah, I am rather chuffed, but next year we'll get a bigger turn out from the forum ... lets see how the Silvabullit and Snowflake go head-to-head.

I agree with Silva that Deb's Celica didn't appear to be that modified, but things like the sound system count as a mod, and you only needed 4 mods to get into the Modified class.

The classes this year were Stock (i.e. no modifications, as built by Toyota), Contemporary (up to 3 mods) or Modified (4 or more mods).

So yeah, you'd fit in Modified.

      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.

      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.
