  1. Awesome! Great Pictures! Now come on over and take some pictures of my car, haha. I wanna see more, more, more......
  2. Looks good! I'll just keep thinking about it, haha. Thanks.
  3. There is one attached the the Shell on Norwest Bvd in Baulkham Hills. HERE It seems popular during the day when I walk past it for lunch. Sydney Car Wash: Baulkham Hills
  4. I'm very indecisive. How do you intend to source it? You've got to post more picture of your car with it on! Thanks!
  5. Yeah i've got at least four bottles of the Ultimate Quik Detailer, i've got a bottle of Ultimate Quick Wax, but haven't used it yet, also have the Meg's Wash N Wax, still haven't used that yet. I'll get around to trying M205 one day. Thanks.
  6. I've got all Meguiar's ....i've got one Mirror Glaze product which is the poilish the M07...but i think it's the same as the Polish in the 3 Step Process. I'm using one Mother's Product which is the FX Spray Wax. I've also used the NXT Spray wax, which is rubbish, haha. My list is sort of the same as your's with the exception of all the Mirror Glaze products.
  7. Davo, Where are you sourcing all the Mirror glaze products? Also are you buying it in 1.9L/3.8L or the 473mL? Oh yeah, and thanks for the offer in the other topic. I think i may source some of the Meguiar's stuff from the U.S. soon. Thanks. Edit: Davo, what is your opinion on Paste Vs Liquid Wax. I've always used liquid.
  8. Yeah agree with Daryl, in the long run, just make sure you end up with everything! haha How much were you quoted for the tyres?
  9. Nice Hotplate, why is it mounted sideways? how can you cook anything on it? That looks very good!, neat, and clean.
  10. Hey all, Here is a link to an AMF May $5 Per Game Voucher. Valid for up to 4 people until the end of May. Have fun! Don't forget to invite me, haha.
  11. If you want leather, i'd say go for the Prodigy. Since the touring is cheap, there will be higher demand on the vehicle and less room to move on the price. While everyone is buying the Touring, less people will be buying the Prodigy, the upper spec'd models always have a higher margin. I would wait another month if possible, and just offer the dealer about $37500 for a Prodigy. But if you after a $32000 Touring, be firm, don't let them set the price, you set the price, and then walk if they don't give it to you, or just tell them you'd rather purchase a Hyundai i45. I haven't bought a vehicle recently, so i wouldn't know too much about current prices. But just wait, someone on the forum will give you a better answer on pricing. Also watch out for what they try to sell you, after you've agreed to purchase the vehicle. Only purchase the tinting at the dealer, if they offer it to you for under $250, otherwise go after market. Good luck with the haggling, and purchasing.
  12. What tyres have you settled on?
  13. How's the wax? Did you bulk buy? Did you bring me back some? haha. Some more pictures on the way?
  14. I was kidding! How does it sound? Any rattles? Edit: it does look good!
  15. I like the red fire extinguisher. What is that big black round thing with concentric circles with carpeting around it...i don't like it.
  16. The attachment is an Excel file you may find useful. It will track your fuel use. Fuel Consumption.xls Note: each time you go to fill up your petrol tank it will need to be full. Things to do before you start using the spreadsheet: 1. Go fill up you vehicle with petrol and take note of your ODOMETER, the DATE, and the type of fuel you used. 2. You will need to enter some information in some cells. Cell B1: the DATE from 1. Cell E1: the ODOMETER from 1. Cell H1: the colour of your vehicle (yes the colour of your vehicle effects your fuel consumption) Cell J1: Build Date Cell L1: Wheel size Cell N1: Tank Size (which is of course 70 Litres for an Aurion) Cell P3: Fuel Reference Number* from 1. 3. Now you will be required to fill in 6 cells each time you fill up So each time you fill you will need to record the ODOMETER on your receipt Column A: Date Column B: Location Column C: Fuel Reference Number* Column G: Odometer Column H: $/L (Note: $/L not c/L) Column I: Total Price Now this Fuel Reference Number can be found in cells Q293:Q312 For example if you used BP Ultimate the Fuel Reference Number will be 8. The only cells that have user input are the TAN coloured cells. In columns D, E, F, J, K, L, M, N, O, P are formulas that shouldn't be touched for the first few rows up to Row 5. After that each time you enter your weekly data, you will need to highlight the cells above and drag and copy the formulas to the next row. ie. highlight cell D6:E6:F6 the drag the bottom right corner to the next row, and the similarly for J6:P6. 4. There is an optional input for cell D294, this is where you enter your next service ODOMETER, and in D296 will be approximate the date of your next service schedule. 5. All the information below Row 292 should be self explanatory Note: You will see some N/A or $DIV/0! cells these are normal. I hope the above instructions are clear enough. Have fun! If you do use the spreadsheet, it would be great if you post up your spreadsheet regularly (every 10000km or so) in this topic, thanks! Note: I have been using the same spreadsheet for over 3 years, and all works well, but i did have to do some modifications to the spreadsheet before posting it. Due diligence has been taken to ensure there are no errors.
  17. Yeah they sell Nitrogen to inflate tyres. Although 78% of normal air has nitrogen in it. Which just means that your tyres are more likely to hold their pressure levels.
  18. Come on, what are you talking about, when did they start selling wheels, i thought they were a Tyre Mart! Haha, Jeff, I was kidding....come on, i've been to Bob Jane lots of times, who hasn't. They even sell air!
  19. Anyway back to the original post. The Bob-Jane guy is half correct. You can not go over the 1 inch extra on the width, but it is on the largest optional wheel available from the vehicle manufacturer. In this case would be the 18" by 7.5", so the maximum you could go is 8.5", without going over the restrictions. Taken from the RTA: Wheels up to 26mm wider than the largest optional wheel recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the vehicle can be fitted without the need to notify the RTA. Front wheel drive vehicles: Except where the original manufacturer provides to the contrary, front wheel widths shall be no more than 26mm greater than the widest optional wheel offered by the vehicle manufacturer. This requirement also applies to fourwheel drive vehicles with constant front wheel drive. Also you will need to keep in mind not to increase the track width, as there is a limit on that too. Ref: Guidelines for alternative wheels and tyres Note: the TRD's run 19" by 8" with 245/35R19
  20. You can buy other brands from Bob Jane, you know..... No way! Thanks for the tip. Bob Jane only sell tyres! So the dozens of different wheels they have on display are only for decoration? Yeah they do have a dozen different types of wheels on display, but have you ever seen four of the same wheels on display, hence they only sell tyres!
