  1. Most tyre places offer free check up's now to keep their customers but it is a good service. A part from getting your tires balanced and a wheel alignment every 10,000kms, you should check tyre pressures at least every fortnight (I check almost every time I fill up) to reduce unnecessary premature wear. If you get your car serviced at Toyota, I believe they do a check on tires and wheel alignment? Not 100% sure as I don't service my car at Toyota.
  2. Jay, I reckon you should get the AE112R body kit/foglights and maybe black the middle grill (maybe), it will give it that extra touch. Some suggestions. :)
  3. Yeah, went overseas around new years.
  4. Lol that's your brother's? That or you really suck at saving! :P
  5. My stock '09 ZRE yoko tires are approaching 50,000kms and will need replacing soon. As others have said, driving behaviour, tyre pressures, balanced tires all play a part. Checking constantly increases tire lifespan. And yes, the older Corollas (AE82/AE92 800-900kg) weigh less than the newer Corollas (1,200kg). This is due to more features/gadgets and it being bigger in size.
  6. End of an era, start of the next one. ;)
  7. Probably was my mate Vinh, my twin ZRE (or should say ex-twin) haha
  8. Looking good! Love it, nice photos Noods!
  9. I have decided not to drink too much the day before at the engagement and come to this! :P
  10. Chris, I fly back in on the 20th so I won't make it. Catch you gents during the week sometime. Australia Day Tampered Track can be EoMM if you want Justin. More cheer squad support for you haha. Like I said, I might not be able to make it as I have an engagement the day before. :P Duy, I'll bed in your brakes.. ;)
  11. That's odd... Do you have a photo? Is it bigger or smaller?
  12. Ian, I'm not that familiar with Nikons and the models but you should go in and test those lens (assuming they are the kit lens, i.e. you're buying a twin lens kit). See if you like the focusing speed of them. That and if the D5100 has a decent processor, otherwise, it would be a good kit to start with. :)
  13. I agree. He must have gain some serious weight... Even with the car stripped! :P P.s. Vtec not working? Haha
  14. Hi Ian, You should try both Canon or Nikon first but they're are pretty much the same. It's like comparing reliability between Toyota and Honda haha. Same features but just different layout/buttons to get to them. Depends on which you like initially (or what your friends have to borrow lens) and then on you just get accustomed to it, whether it's Canon or Nikon. Tbh, you don't really need a high end DSLR. I suggest buying a new/fairly new entry level. Buying like a new 550D/600D body only is $450/$550 respectively at the moment (don't know about Nikon prices). Chuck a 50mm 1.8 prime lens for $100 for portrait/low light photos. Save up a bit more then probably buy a lens with F2.8 and more range later. Keep in mind, all my photos are taken from an entry level 550D DSLR. As long as you have a somewhat decent body, the lens plays a more important part. Edit: If you're more serious, probably save up more and buy a second hand 5D MkII for about $1.5-1.7k. Even cheaper if you buy grey imports.
  15. Personally, I haven't had a proper close up look at the new rollas. A few people who have, told me they like the interior and features (it's not too bad but that's the Levin ZR) but are not really fond of the new exterior/shape.
  16. Of course you may! People normally don't though :P Justin, going to upload the go karts vids soon. Everyone can see how you went so fast with your vtecccc!
  17. 16th of this month? Yeah have a look when the next Deca Day is for me, thanks mate!
  18. Hahaha you don't have that much weight on Justin. Maybe you'll do better if you practiced on gokarts first.. Trololol
  19. Winton for March EoMM! Yep, I reckon invite the TCCAV and Toymod boys too Justin. Now what about Jan/Feb? Does anyone know when the next DECA Day is? :)
  20. ^^^^^ THIS! If the auto electrician checks it out and it's a simple matter of changing the stalk. Might be cheaper to buy a headlight stalk like pezzie and get that auto electrician to install it for you.
  21. Got to step up your game Duy! You got 2ZZGE! :P
  22. Love it! Always something new when I check out your ride thread.. :D
  23. I thought we were going Adelaide to visit the Dutchman? :P Chris (maca_10) has suggested the Deca Day in late Jan/early Feb as our next EoMM. :)
  24. Sorry Reece, I won't be in the country also. I'll catch up with you next time mate! :)
  25. We have meets anywhere, anywhere people want to go/organise. I'm from the South-east. :)
