Insurance
Yeah, kind of what I've been thinking, but due to how bad the drivers are through Chatswood and those areas I'll probs ensure it with someone like AusPost who have the cheapest insurance and will insure me but I will definitely get the cameras you suggested thankyou so much -

Insurance
If you've answered all their questions honestly & tried all the majors then there's nothing you can do other than find the cheapest quote for 3rd party because that's the minimum you need to be out on the roads. Some 3rd party insurance will also cover your car up to a small amount ($3000) if the other party is at fault & they have no insurance. Because you will be driving around with no insurance for your own car, I suggest getting quality dashcams front & rear to cover yourself incase of any claims you need to make against someone at fault. I recommend the viofo A129 pro duo https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295468431227 Start getting quotes again for comprehensive insurance, once enough time lapses to have confidence answering those licence disqualification questions without needing to disclose. Usually 3-5 years after the fact....- 1

Insurance
Hey guys I'm new here I've run into a pretty major issue, I've just bought myself a 2007 aurion sx6 as an 18 year old red p plater who commutes to sydney city daily around 165km round trip (six days per work) for work. When I was younger I got done with some heft demerits and was given a police suspension (Dec 2022-Feb 2022) in court the judge ordered my license to be canceled (hence the red P plates at nearly 19) and I was suspended again in December of 2023 until March 2024 when I got caught by a camera doing 6km over the limit in the tolls tunnels (stupid ik) - and just before I bought my car I was T-Boned on my motorbike not at fault but a claim was made, most insurers are flat out refusing to insure me and the ones that don't refuse quote me around $5000-$6000 for full comprehensive. Have no family whose insurance I can be added to and as an apprentice I really can't afford $5000 for insurance. I know all of this is a result of stupid decisions made when younger - but if anyone has any helpful tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated I have been on the train for the past 3 months and it's a 4 hour trip each way so kind of need this sorted -

Ticking Hilux 5le
Hi all, got a 2004 diesel 4x4 Hilux with the 5le motor in it. 250,000 kilometres, i’m the second owner and have had it about 9 months. Since I bought it there has always been a constant ticking noise while driving (anywhere over 1200rpm) but not while idling. Does it while accelerating, maintaining speed and decelerating. No real impact on power and I get about 12.5L per 100km. I never worried about it too much but it’s starting to ***** me off a bit. I’ll link a video below, any clues what could be causing the noise? -

Hmm it seems like I can't quote anyone except the original post. @Wing (hope I tagged right person) I definitely relate. You did incredibly well with that find! Crazy low KMs! -

Toyota Echo Mods.
Thanks for the post Aldo. Googling echo upgrades lead me to this thread and now I'm a member. I definitely hear you. I've been looking in to turning my 03 Echo in to a soft roader. I bought it for 2k (clear coat was cooked) back in 2021. I managed to lose my license in it within first 3 weeks. I HUGELY underestimated how much up and go it has. Although on fresh tyres, previous owner went cheap. In the wet, driving hard, I was spinning until 3rd gear/ or around 75kmh. Have been playing around with it, looking at suspension upgrades, bash plates etc, even a snorkel 😂 but best I've been able to come across so far would be swapping suspension and wheels from a Jimny or similar. Would require a bit of custom modifications and therefore engineering certificate etc. There already seems to be some great posts in here. Definitely suspension and air flow seme to be the go. Since we have the old cable 🚠 based throttle, unfortunately we can't do drive-by-wire. I was introduced to that by a workmates 06? Hilux 4x2... That thing pulled *HARD* just from changing the mode selected on the DBW. V6 obviously but yeah. Definitely following this thread and gonna pop the air filter next 👍🏽 👍🏽 -

Wheels for Hilux
Hi, I'm hoping to buy a good second hand set of wheels for my 98' Mk 4 Hilux single cab. Does anyone know if Mk7 wheels would fit regarding the offset please? Thank you, Best, Daniel
