  1. took my car in for its 1000 on friday and to also get the grill and rear skirt finally fitted.

    Got the car home and realised that they hadn't cut out room for the exhaust or done the exhaust mod.

    The skirt had already bubbled and melted :angry: and they also used black rubber to fit it and not grey like the rest of the car.

    Rang them up first thing on saturday and took it into them and got them to fix it. they cut out room for the exhaust and refitted it. I told them it was not good enough and they had to get me another skirt.

    I must admit though they worked damn hard and fast to keep me happy on sat morning...in and out within the hour

  2. Went out on Wednesday night to show a mate the new car.

    On the way home I went past some cops and they followed me and then pulled me over. I thought it was because i have no plates on the car........

    Then they say that they had a phone call from a concerned citizen saying there was a white corolla with no plates doing 160+ on the highway...

    They just asked me to slow down and resist the temptation of the new car ;)

  3. I put my new beast in for its 1000 this morning.

    We almost had to get a 2nd piece of paper to write down all of the things i wanted them to look at

    - gear cable noise

    - braking noise

    - oil chane to synthetic

    - reverse noise (beep...beep...beep)

    - rattle in dash over 4000 RPM

    - left rear access to tail light not 100% fit

    - rattle near gearbox at idle or deceleration

    - fitting of rear skirt

    - fitting of sports grill

    All sound fairly minor and will hopefully be resolved today :)

    I am looking for at least 6 sets of stickers a set for me, stoopid, shao, lite and any other people in the Brisbane area that would like some.

    Thanks Guys :) :D :lol:

  5. Got the unit installed yesterday.

    It was the Nokia unit that Nikich was talking about that plugged into the cigarete lighter. All we did was hard wire it behind the dash and have the cable from the unit come in through the back of the top drawer, and the mic up the A pillar.

    I works very well and the there is nothing you can see bar the small microphone.

    Am very happy with the unit :D

  6. Just got back from having a chat to the guys at Northfield.

    From what I heard those radio things are ok but not great!!

    I have booked it in for Wednesday to get a new Nokia kit put in.

    It has the standard mic which sits up the top of the A pillar and it has a speaker which can be fitted out of site under the dash then a cable simply comes into the back of the console and plugs straight into the phone :D

    I keep me phone in the drawer above the ash tray so it will work well i think. all i do is open the door and hit a button and im talking :)

    I dont like the idea of a cradle or anything else that covers in the dash. especialy if it has to be drilled into :(

  7. Has anyone got or seen those new little hands free kits that clip onto your phone and they transmit through to a certain radio frequency in the car ???

    I need a hands free now that i have the manual (falcon is auto) and I saw these little things at the motor show but didnt have a real good look at them.

    Any info would be great :D

  8. ZEE - Dont thrash your gearbox too early on the Stivo.

    I have talked to a few guys of late in regards to my new ride and the word from JPN is that if you trash the gearbox too early you will have issues. But if you run it in well it will be as strong as an Ox after about 1000-1500 K's

    Yes you will have troubles getting it out of lift in 1st and down to 2nd. I had troubles the first day with that on mine, but i just left it alone.

    I have managed a few times to get it out of lift in 1st to 2nd but i guess I have been luky.

    If your going to play around with lift in the first 1000 K's do it from 2nd onwards my friend ;)

    It's like a new Girly Friend....treat her nice the first week or so ...then she will let you do anything to her after that!!!! :P :P :P

  9. Guys There are some brand new wheels coming out of Australia called RJR (Rodney Jane Racing) the Son of Bob Jane from Bob Jane Tmarts. He has a really good selection of wheels and they are moderatly priced. You should go check them out !!!
