Yep, definitely like the idea of keeping my head in tact! @DJKOR I can see you helmet in your signature. It looks good too. I want a fullface one but i'm thinking a motorcycle one is good. AGV for $130-$170 is pretty good i think, plus i can use it for lots of things. So what is the difference, if anyone knows, between a motorcycle helmet and a car one? Thanks EDIT: So after a little more research it seems that motorcycle helmets can be hit multiple times but in different areas. Whereas car helmets can be hit again and again in the same spot and still protect your head as thats whats most likely in a car. Also they are (more)fire proof than a standard bike helmet

Hey guys, So i have done a little search about helmets to use in my rolla for track days, drag nights and possibly even go-carting and haven't found out too much on the site. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great. Otherwise what I wanted to know is what are some good, protective helmets for racing probably around the $100-$250 mark. I have also been looking at the Peter Stevens website. Yes I understand they are motorcycle helmets but I have seen many of the guys that do trackdays and drags use them. Also they have a clearence at the moment so many of them are cheap and conform to Australian Standards. If you can tell me the difference between a motorcycle helmet and a car helmet that would be great too. Hopefully I can research enough and buy one before Winton funday! Thanks

Hey mate. Enjoy the forums!

yeah, i've been annoying the hell outta Whiteline with emails and they still aren't ready ... :(

SUNDAY! Do sunday. Its been a while since ive been on a TOCAU cruise.

Finally switched to tennis on saturday so available on any sunday. And probably +1 as my mate has an AW11 :)

- Yeah i'll say the guys not using the search function is annoying. - the fact we have around 125 taxes in this country. - more specifically, the fact that on petrol we should not be paying as much as we currently are and that if there is a war going on, it should not affect our prices as our prices are based on Singapore petrol prices. Also we have to pay a federal excise tax of around 38cents per litre on petrol and then get 10% GST. Thats a tax on a tax. How is that fair? - the fact that nobody knows what a Corolla Sportivo is. you say corolla sportivo they say oh its a corolla. I get to the point where i just say its a Civic Type R cause its easier. thats enough for today

I have owned both cars, an 03 Levin and I currently own the 05 sportivo. The 03 levin is great, doesn't have the kick of the sportivo obviously but is still a great car. If you do go ahead with buying one the first couple of days are really weird as you kinda regret getting rid of your old car but hit lift a few times and get used to the car because they are slighty different, trust me, you wont regret it.

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/ I have been kinda looking at getting these as i'm torn between just getting HID's or getting projectors to go with them. I'd rather do it properly and get projectors too but i like my headlights and dont really wana destroy them by drilling into them too much.

Hey mate, Here on the forums, that search function in the top right hand corner is your best friend. Check this out: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21726 Also, here is a group buy when I bought my CAI: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28290 Use that function as this question has come up numerous times. As I installed a CAI, you can tell which I prefer as I went through the same question. Good luck

nice sportivo mate, welcome to the club looks very stealth!

Hey mate, There is a thread on here that actually compares the difference between the sportivo's released. I was lucky as i got mine 2 years ago with 50,000km on it driven to the shops and thats it. 2003 v 2005 sportivo - different interior trimmings, 2005 gets MP3, all auto down & up windows (maybe 2003 has but im not sure), and 2 compartments in the centre console. Redbook also has the 2005 at 1200kgs while the rest are a bit heavier (but can you believe redbook?). The best advice I can give is test drive them. Try low speed manuovers, quicker speed cornering and breaking and accelerating (probably best to not do any full ball starts) and off course see if lift actually kicks in. I remember reading back a while that someone bought one and when he tried lift it really didn't work - just make sure engine is warm. Can't think of anything more, but just test drive them and see how they feel. Good luck with the hunt

thats incredible i just watched the one youtube too. Amazing :)

rear sway bar at Whiteline is back on the market. They have fixed their linkage problems. Just thought you should know

Hey, yeah there was some great cars that day unfortunately my photography was kinda bad (actually terrible) but you get the idea. As for the photos of the day, I dont really know how to upload them here. I made the facebook page open to everyone and didn't realise you have to log in to view it. I click insert media/image and all it allows me to do is put in an internet site with the pictures on it. Can't i upload straight here???
