  1. That looks really nice, What Knob are you ussing? Hey RoM2nV cheers bud, And yea i really dont like MOMO knobs... Though im thinking about changing the sock for the shifter with a red momo to get the TRD collour cordination right. and yea its a TRD knob ;) White Black and Red are the colour matching for this car :) white Car Red Calibers Black Rims ;) SEx on Wheels once ive finished :P
  2. Doesn't happen, offence date is the date the penalty gets applied to your license. Yep and even then I get off my P's in 3 years so it wouldnt work. P1 i was coming off in 4 months but the Loss of lisence is taken action once the fine is payed (technicaly if i didnt pay the fine EVER i wouldnt loose my lisence... I would go to Prison but not loose my lisence :P )
  3. Agreed :P Look into something like this http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...2&silo=1011 or even this http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...5&silo=1011 http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...5&silo=1011

    sport seats

    Im pretty sure though when you start pushing towards the topic of SPORT or PERFORMANCE Comfortable is generaly Always lost. There used to be a online shop for Recaro Seats, Legit Auto Sport parts but i cant remember wich one. If i find it will post it up again. Depending where you are located > theres a few spots in Adelaide that make furniture and recliners... i had my old Alfa Seats re leathered at one of these spots > didnt cost much either around $400 with leather
  5. Fly, pelican, fly? More like "Say hello, to my little friend!" Your All A Bunch Of F**kin Cokaroaches ;) But All honesty :( sif no Chuck... The Guy Has no Chins For Peats Sake... Just Another Fist Under His Beard
  6. This is what it looks like at the moment... Might invest in a red MOMO one later on down the track.
  7. speedo is fine/ have GPS in the car and that has annoying beeping thing that tells me if im over the speed limit... EVEN THAT DIDNT GO OFF AND THAT TELLS ME WHAT SPEED THE AREA IS AND WARNS ME IF IM 2KM OVER no point arguing.... im gona get no where.... It just means i whont be stopping if i see a officer bleed on the side of the road... as harsh as it may sound.
  8. Yes mate, my 04 camry sportivo is over 95000km, still running like a beast :P except the battery just died recently... Gota love Toyota ;) ive driven and had R33/Pulsar SSS/HOLDEN VS (worst peace of ******* EVER!) / Alfa Romeo 86Gulietta /82 Gulietta / 89 Alfa GTV6 / Alfa 33 Boxer / 97 rav4 / 89 Soarer (2ltr -_- ) 2001 VT (EVEN WORSE THEN VS) TOYOTA 76 Carolla (purse? or whatever those ugly cams where nick named :P ) 89 MR2 (miss it :() and now my 2004 Camry :P I want to add more to my list XD
  9. 2004-2005 Camry Sportivo 2azfe ;) pick them up for around 15 - 13k Comfort/style/power is there > all round nice car. otherwhise you could always get a Alfa Romeo 159 (my old car) Really good value for money ;)
  10. I might just pop it on the chin... i dont have any hard evidence and i cant take time off work to sort this stuff out... Back water town and nanny state of Australia -_-
  11. I just rang up 1800 659 538 (fine pay unit and dispute unit) no matter what i told them the woman was agro and just wouldnt listen, not to mention she sayd they have to lock onto your car for 5 seconds before they get a readout (i was 300m away from the police officer or so he stated. at 74km i would have past him?) she also sayd that if i was the only car there (wich i was there where other cars behind me) that theres nothing i can do about it and to just pay the fine (WTF INSTEAD OF HELPING THERE WORRIED ABOUT $$ its not the cash thats an issue its the lisence thats an issue for me) I have to ring up 1300 360 067 (again) and ask them what i can do to dispute it... they are going to tell me to ring 1800 659 538 (fine pay and dispute number again) its a merry go round... Why bother with this police state any more -_-' A written letter to the head of the station (or whatever the hell the fat guy is called) isnt going to do squat she told me. So my options on there end is to simply give them the cash > and get off the road... Going to try motor reg again.
  12. yea the laser gun read 74km. But the thing i dont get is that im 100percent certain that i wasnt speeding. Unless there was interfearence. Does any one know what i can use to my defence?
  13. nah its manual :) hate auto (sorry auto fans ) and yea i was reading up on that last night, only prob i have is taking out the shifter out the socket... quite hard.
  14. Its just so annoying, I see Imbacels every day do rediculas stupid ******* not to mention 3 cars have been broken into at the front of my house in 2 weeks.. ( my sisters and my sisters freind.. i plan do something about myself ive got an idea who it is) and when you ring the police regarding anything like robbery/car being broken into they just dont seem to care or prioratise it any more... So ive got an idea... Next time my car is getting broken into i will call the local branch and claim "4 bikies are doing drugs. hooning around while breaking into my car" ... key word there is Hoon/Bikies/Drugs :P lets see how fast they react to that :P
  15. LOL Ive prob just draged it on question is Should i appeal it? Or hang it up and wait 6 months.? wich one is worth doing
  16. Ok Before any of you start blasting me for Hoon driving or Another P plater doing something illegal > learn to keep your critisism to yourself... expecialy if you dont know the full story. Ok now that we have put that aside I was driving 2 nights ago to see one of my clients at Holden Hill Fitness First (im a part time Personal Trainer and full time Account manager) Coming allong North east Rd I was pulled over by a Police Officer on a Motor bike.... he wouldnt come to me, but instead made me come out of my car so he could talk to me at his motor bike. He claimed i was doing 74 in a 60 zone, Shoked at the fact i had no REASON to speed and my Speed allert in my car DID NOT go off (its always set to 65 and as many of you know in the Camry the bloody thing doesnt stop beeping at you for ages if your over the speed limit... so i try not to anger it ) I didnt argue with the guy (its pointless... your arguing with 2 ppl.. the officer and the uniform and i had no eye witness) But i did state that the speed allert didnt go off in my car and that i wasnt aware that i was speeding... Didnt get me any where and i still got the fine... When i asked the officer how many points i would loose he stated 1 point and he stated that if i wanted to bring to dispute it the number on the back of the fine yada yada yada.... I drove off... funny enough in a good mood. now heres the problem. Ive lost my lisence twice now >Collection of demerit points. and ive been on my Provisionals for 4 years now. because of the new P plate laws. when i got it back last year i was given a Curfue (12:30 i had to be off the streets, wasnt alloud to drive and wasnt alloud to be in a high performance vehicle after 12:30 till 6am) wich i obbeyed and followed all the rules. So now i have a dillema... Do i sit out the 6 months and then go to motor reg to pay $120 to get my L lisence back so that i can sit my $160 Learners Test (the practical last exam) so that i can go back to the motor reg and pay an extra $90 so that i can get my P lisence back... (and then they wonder why soo many ppl drive unlisenced... its soo expensive to get it back and then its soo easy too loose it... even if you Slip up once it theres no If or Buts to help you out... THAT IS UNLESS YOU HAVE TITS and thats not being sexist... ive seen it happen. So, My question is this What do you guys think i should do? and Who else has been in a simmilar situation. This isnt a topic open for Roasting (if i needed to be roasted ide go to a elderly home and here them complain about hodlems and hoons.) I am not a hoon I DO NOT DRIFT IN STREETS, RACE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, DO BURN OUTS ON PUBLIC ROADS, ABUSE THE LAW EXCESEVILY <_<
  17. I have noticed a huge improvement with just cutting it down. Theres a DIY on here on how to weld the Hinge but the only prob i have is thats taking it up another notch with a risk. If i stuff it up on cutting off the hinge and rewelding im going to have to buy a new shifter.... and ive called a dozen wreckers and no one sells them sepperate... WHAT IS IT WITH ADELAIDE!!!!
  18. Hey guys Started pulling appart the Shifter last week and decided to cut it down to make the throw shorter (i still need to adjust the hinge to actually make it a proper short shifter) After pulling appart the console and unscrewing the gear knob i measured how low i wanted it. After much mucking around and trying out for 4 or 5 days with one height ive decided to cut it further down. If any one has ever done this let me know your oppinion.. also if any 1 has a walk through on how to adjust the hinge point? (it has a propper term but i cant remember it) Ide love to hear about it. Will post pictures later on this afternoon.
  19. I was actually debating this last night about leaving the car NA tuned to compete against Vtech Engines. I have faith in the VVT-i ide rather leave it NA so i can get stage 2 cams from us new valves from us Also new raised gasket or header (i think ive got it wrong here but it helps lower the compresion ration? right? and i dont want that if its NA i need to raise the compretion ratio correct?) then do a port and polish and i should be looking at a large HP gain. once again correct me if im wrong as im still noob when it comes to these engines
  20. So what kind of gains would you expect from a 2az? is it really worth getting it done after a CAI,headers and exuast ?

    d.i.y CAI

    Cheers for the help guys Last night got stuck into it, Used a PVC piping and grabed the measurements for the MAS unit. After making the hole and cleaning it, I then whent to put the pipe in place to find out its actualy BIGER then the inlet Hose. might have to see if i can get one of those brackets or joiners off from bunnings (home depo) Unless some one has a sugestion regarding it? So far im thinking im goint to get the shape i want and the desired length done by PVC piping, Once ive made it and put in place (its going to be running under the car and then hand left or right with the pod filter... Like the pic (pardon the ****ty pic :P but you get the general idea) Ide see how it goes with the PVC piping if it works (it theres no probs wth it in the first 2 weeks) ill probly see if i can get an exuast shop to make it in Stainless Steel. What do you think?
  22. Hey Guys, Once again a novice question. Exactly how does Port And Polish Work? What are the benefits and what changes in the car? Also is it generaly expensive or and worthwhile doing on a NA car?
  23. Cheers Lemons :) Your a champ
  24. any 1 keen on selling theres? or know where else i can grab one from?
  25. is this still going? Ive been chasing my head looking for one -_-
