Also need to find out from you guys, i am a novice to the track scene and need to know what you guys do to prep up for it eg. extra engine oil for topping up after, better brake pads etc. I am calculating the costs and see if i can get the Stivo prepped before the 5th Oct. I drive a stock Stivo except a Strutbar and K&N filter mod so would be good to baseline with the GTI180 and ScreaminRollas Stivo.

Cheers,

Blue_Sportivo_VVTLi will not make it Tuesday the 5thOct. I will be meeting Dave on the humehwy.

My Stivo will be prepped with "nothing", i just had my 10,000km service done a month ago so should not have bits falling off, i hope :huh:

I will have the car better prepared the next time i turn up though, hopefully with some mods too. There is so much to look out for when we run the car on a track. I think i will get oil/water temp gauges the next time.

Hey Qui, what cars are your mates driving?

Just wondering too what happens if it starts to rain heavily? Will be unlikely but can happen.

My "mates" so called has pulled out, one said his missus wouldnt let him (selling his Prelude Vti) the other an S15 nissan 200sx should still becoming... :unsure:

Rain......(prays that there isnt any :rolleyes: )

Unless its Bucketing down ill still be on the way, Wakefield rarely gets rain so if its a little wet it should still be good....

If it rains heavily whilst were there...... :huh: i might give it a go :P but we can just grab a coffee i guess.......... Hello aqua planning hehe

Reports state no rain so it should be good for go :D

Had a great day giving the stivo hell, it was really good to test out all my suspension mods which still werent good enough to keep up with the GTI 180 on semi slicks. Oh and the fuel consumption on the track for my stivo was close to 20L per 100ks.

Heres a couple of pics

Pics look great....

Zee's car look like it's got some serious lean in some corners, but the Pug looks like it sits sooooo flat in comparison to the stivos.... Whay have you done to it QD180?

Heya that was Quick...Nice pics turned out tops Dave... :P

Modswise for the frog, Yes Semi slicks Falken Azenis RT215, i strongly recommend give you so "much" more grip compared to street tyres.

Just beware of the rubber chunks that fly off, or inadvertanly get picked up... i had a massive peice attach itself to my left front throwing my steering out :angry:

Also a Green Cotton air filter...

Apart from that she's a great package already...not much to mess with :lol:

We didnt have anyone time us (should have though???) but viewing some of the video footage im definantly 1-2 seconds quicker than last ime :rolleyes:

but a 1.15 - 1.16ish would be close to it...

Not a bad day at the office at all....

Thanks Dave and Qui for your cameras and video recorder, the pics are awesome :D Cannot believe how much ROLL the stock Stivo has :o :o It felt that way though, i was being thrown around a fair bit trying to get away from or catch up to a Silver Stivo and a Blue Pug 206 :P I reckon we did good lap times out there today just by looking at the state of our tyres and the black lines we left on the track!!!

A Stivo did 1min21 yesterday at Wakefield and the fastest car was an Sti that did 1min17. Too bad we couldn't get actual lap times today but the day was great and i can now pinpoint the Sportivo's weaknesses and work on improving the car :)

A 1min21 ain't bad at all, a Wheels mag in 1999 tetsted a Celica and they ran a 1min21 and that's a pro driving it. The DC2 Type-R in that comparo did a 1min18, Civic Vti-R 1min23, Pug Gti 1min23, Pulsar SSS 1min24, Proton Satria Gti 1min24. Tuned turbo cars and prestige cars are out of our leaque, maybe a stock WRX and Type-R would be fun to run against.

How did you go against the S2000 T-sport?

There was also a Porsche and a V8 Maloo Ute out there. Interestingly, the Maloo couldn't really catch up to the Qui's Pug Gti180 and my Stivo when we were battling hard, and the Maloo finally buckled trying to push too hard and went off road. Maybe he is new to the Ute and Wakefield is a tough track for such high powered RWD cars. We also had a few laps with the Porsche and it only had the advantage in the straights. I went slightly off road a few times pushng too hard to get away from him :P

      1996 Caldina Fuel Pump Location

      Walked away from the job last night came back this morning and found the location of the Fuel pump problem. Blocked return line and the OBD connection. Someone above must be looking over my shoulder Access to the fuel pump is via the left hand rear seat cushion (left it up) and the OBD connection is in the engine bay at on the left hand side wall. Pays to keep looking.

      04 Estima cruise control speed limited?

      Hi guys how it's going? We have a 2004 Estima and we're trying to fit a cruise control. Unfortunately there is no factory plug and so we are using the factory connector for the assumed audio control and and jacking off the Top Left 1 and 3 pins. Does anyone know the correct pins for the Cruise Control? Photo below

      Radiator removal

      Hi Pat - don't know if you'll see this after all this time. Nobody mentioned the engine, petrol/diesel. I'm hoping it's a petrol 2.4 like mine! Thanks.

      Current Drain

      Hi, New member here so be gentle . I have a 2017 VX and since I've owned it has a problem with start battery draining within 2 days . I'm the second owner and it was always serviced by Toyota . I've replaced both start and secondary battery with brand new and problem still exists . Even taken to an auto electrician and he has spent hours trying to resolve this problem . He thinks it could possibly be in the Canbus system but he doesn't have the tools to test same . Anybody experienced this ? If so what is it and how to fix ? Cheers, Rick

      Completely lost on Head Unit Upgrade for Kluger Grande 2009

      I also have a Grande from 2011 and I think the infotainment units are the same. I have thought about upgrading the unit from time to time as the maps are outdated but ultimately decided not to as there are lots to consider with the Grande head unit. If I had to choose one of your options, I would choose the Brummstadt model as it is at least designed for the Kluger but you need to factor in: - You may need to change your reverse camera as a lot of these units aren't compatible with your existing camera. - If you choose an non compatible model, you will lose all steering wheel button functions. (Personally I would find that annoying having 4/5 buttons on the steering wheel that do nothing after the install) - If you purchase online and have the device shipped over and have issues with the unit, imagine the hassle of removing the unit and shipping it back. - Be careful with removing the trim pieces in the car. Your car is 16 years old and the plastics would be brittle and may crack if too much pressure is applied. Personally although the head unit is old in my car, it still works and meets my needs 90% of the time. I use my phone if I ever need current maps and navigation. If I were you and not 100% confident in installing a head unit including running new wires through the car to replace the reverse camera, I would try to find a reputable place that did the whole install for you. Interesting video: (BTW, no I don't work for MPX 🙂 but if they had a shop in Perth I would probably ask them to do this exact install in my car)

      Completely lost on Head Unit Upgrade for Kluger Grande 2009

      Hi All, dunno much about car upgrades so kinda feeling overwhemled by the choices of head units out there. Need to replace the head unit for my Kluger Grande with the latest Andriod auto head unit. Any suggestions? I want a large display and a fast processor is also very important to me. I found out these two models below so far but not sure if they are too expensive? Also what would be your preferred store in Aus to buy head units. https://www.joyingauto.com/newest-arrival-joying-10-1-double-din-car-head-unit-supports-ar-cameras.html https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-kluger-2007-2013-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Camry Navigation System

      Anyone got any update on this question? I asked my dealer about a navigation map update for my 2019 Camry a couple of months ago and they told me $240 for one update! Jeez, what is it - gold plated or something?😳 Us owners ought to be able to update our maps ourselves, it's not rocket science - anyone with basic computer skills would be able to do it. Sigh...🤨

      Leaving a Camry Hybrid at the airport for 10 weeks?

      Well, what I was thinking of doing never eventuated - I got someone to drive me to the airport - so I still don't know the answer to my question.
