  1. NOOOOooo!!! MY FD isn't importable! *SOB*
  2. Hey hey, SO for example if if want to buy his car (its just an example fellas) http://www.adpost.com/nz/vehicles/1130/ It comes landed,then i start doing all the same compliance and road worthy stuff as i would with a jap car right? but the car still seems cheaper in AUD raw FOB then aussie prices. Unless there are gaping hidden costs i'm not aware of?
  3. Hey guys, I've been looking a little at used car prices (zoom zoom imports like the FD Rx-7) in new zealand and they're much much cheaper than over here. I figure since kiwi land is so much closer than japan and the dollar is lower it might work out well to import a car over from there. Is this possible/difficult? any body out there done this b4?
  4. yer ive seen people with the 3sgte engine in their rolla I think you can get the cut from about 1.5k then get it fitted. Let me have a think of where I have seen them for sale. Otherwise pick up some of the car magazines and flick through .. sometimes you see adverts from companies which sell the engines. This sounds like a thread for ROLLAMODS! (and an excuse to bump my thread count!)
  5. that's a good turbo start man! U going to up the boost? P.s. its KNOW not no... where u from dude?
  6. Hey, EOI for a melb dyno day? tell me when is good for u guys. I"m thinking we go back to the place we went last time?
  7. http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/turbo_s...bo_kits/tc2502/ This seems cheap for a turbo kit, I'm wondering about the 1.6 bit tho?
  8. Just remember to remind him that the aust corolla is same as the jap runX and he'll tell u which one to get.
  9. .. or you can do what i did... hook the cable up to your handbrake and install a switch in line with it that grounds it out when turned on so you can have your display on whilst driving. If your switch is in a discreet enough spot and you get pulled over... hit the switch and you are back to normal and the screen won't work with the handbrake disabled and you can prove it ;) Works fine... only issue is with my quick install (only done this arvo) when you hit the switch and ground out the cable coming from your deck... it obviously grounds the handbrake cable also and you get the (!) light on your dash... but i can live with that. Yo matt, where in the hand break did u connect the wire to? just any metallic part? And did you have to take out all the plastic bits in the middle to get to it?
  10. Hahahah, come to a melbourne meet and come compare my auto with any other stock auto. Then u'll see, mine's not droney
  11. As always, you're a fountain of knowledge, Silva, but I just have one amendment ... I think in another post I think the jury was still out on whether the Stivo cat-back was of benefit to auto 1ZZ's. We only have one such case on record, though, so if another auto 1ZZ owner wants to give it a go, talk to Silva about the Stivo cat back he mentioned above. Svalerko put a sportivo cat back on his 1zz and got gains proven on the dyno. I agree with you on the auto side of things buddha as an auto does drain a hell of a lot of power out of the motor. Maybe with an auto try the 2.25" diameter with a slightly more restrictive muffler to increase the back pressure a bit. My thoughts on the matter but it could be worth a shot. As for putting the stivo cat back on the sedan I've had a look and it does look to be the same floor plan as the hatch. Easy way to check is get the 2 side by side and measure the wheel base from stub to stub as the rest of the underside of the car is the same. But they do look pretty close. :D Hey all, since we've touched on auto stivo catbacks i thought i might throw in my 2 penny's. I've had the stivo catback on with both a short ram intake and the stock in take. both i felt a loss of low end but mid gain was distinctive. However i've recently (4 days ago) finished off the piping and turned my short ram into a CAI. The effect is very noticeable and now i'm a happy torquey driver. I'll need to confirm this on the next dyno day. Lucio?
  12. Have a safe and chrome christmas and new years one and all!
  13. The easiest way to fix this is to simply ask ur local muffler place to put a downward facing tip.
  14. Where's the asian pop? Like Jay Chou? :D For me, its anything! Trance (Go Nick Fish!), Rock (Go Nickleback!), J-Pop (Go Love Psychodelico!) + R&B Whooo!
