  1. Sold mine a little while ago now, but I see them pop up between $100 to $200 sometimes with the ATX wheel included.
  2. It doesn't make economic sense for Toyota to design entirely new airbag assemblies when the only real need for difference is the cover itself. The looms are all the same as well.
  3. I'm thinking you have an unhealthy addiction for all things CF

  6. As said, nail guns feed and fire the piston in the same motion, so any 'misfire' won't advance the belt and those empty gaps won't get progressed. Further as a safety issue built in to nail guns they won't fire unless the head is depressed. You won't hear the piston fire, instead you will either hear nothing or a small vent of pressurised air. What DOES get me though is the sheer number of "fires", the gun is still firing the same pressure despite no compressor kicking in to repump the tank. A framing gun like that uses a fair bit of pressure and works best around 100psi. Further the impact in which it's firing into the wood I would conclude they have the pressure regulated down very low (less than 50 psi), as at full pressure even with a steel table the piece of wood wouldn't just sit there like that. With the pressure that low the nail would still penetrate skin but wouldn't go anywhere near penetrating his hand.
  7. Tis the season for Amagami and Toradora
  8. WIN! I shall also be a little bit late but hopefully be in time for drinkies.
  9. I'd thought about it, but thought it was a bit too close. I wanted the cruise to be a bit longer.;) If we start at the loop it's still a decent distance, plus that road from the Bruce out to Bribie is full of traffic driving under 80 in the 100 zone. You don't want to spend too long just driving straight in freeway conditions.
  10. I think you're fine with the TRD brakes as they were fitted to an Aurion from the factory and were designed for the car (ie same brake booster/master cylinder etc). Andrew357 would technically need a mod plate, and even though the Kluger brakes bolt straight on so would I. In neither case it shouldn't be much of an engineering issue though. My 380 rear brakes, as they include a bracket, should need an engineer to okay it first. Having a bracket isn't a no-no it just needs to be strong enough, which I can guarantee mine is. Further even though I'm changing the caliper, the new caliper is a PBR item and is virtually the same as the stock caliper - heck I could even reuse my current caliper in the 380's caliper bracket (made for 18mm rotor) if I so choose.
  11. I would recommend a mod plate for any alteration to the braking system, if you change the caliper to anything that wasn't factory fitted (ie TRD is exempt).
  12. These are the finished brackets I'll be using for the rear brake upgrade - They are aluminium and are 10mm thick. They are very solid and a test fit confirmed they'll work well.
  13. Always good to see a new face, and it's always nice to have cupcakes
  14. Been working on my rear brake upgrade today. 1 Bracket nearly finished.
  15. There is but I haven't tested it so can't comment on how good it is and what issues it has.
  16. www.yellowpages.com.au I am actually being serious and not trying to be a smart *****. If you want a quote for a job then your only real option is to contact a company and ask them. It's how everybody else does it, forums unfortunately can't give you every answer. Try doing a search as well as you'll be surprised what has already been covered
  17. Issue's you will (likely) encounter with that unit you initially linked GPS Won't let you change music tracks when you have the GPS displayed on screen. IPod Everytime you get back into the car you will need to reselect Ipod mode, then navigate to the song or playlist you want. It won't resume playing from where you last left it. SQ means sound quality, and I can personally vouch that there is a huge differential in SQ amongst these units. The latest I reviewed wasn't bad at all, but still had the odd pop or slight background noise if you were trying to listen for it. I found it to be a non-issue but I wouldn't dream of entering an SQ comp with one.
  18. I got quoted $300+ PER side due to those freakin cats
  19. AEM - the unit in that link you posted is a complete piece of crud. The software is ancient and cannot be updated, it doesn't have much RAM and the interface is over 2 years old. It is also overpriced for that. Take a look in the Aurion section of the forums for our aftermarket GPS discussion thread, as a funny coincidence I just reviewed a unit that has the same external appearance but completely updated internals and software. The Aurion is the same unit you would use in the Camry. Also a cold start up time of 45seconds is the longest I have ever seen. Even my current unit at 20 seconds seems slow, 45 is ridiculous.
  20. With this much notice I can guarantee attendance on either day.
