  1. from what i have heard, you play with the reverse beep anywhere but with the speaker, the ecu will go into limp mode. if u get rid of the speaker, u loose the speaker for all beeping reminders. Its just a beep... its not like u are in reverse for more than 30 seconds max... get over it and deal with it, the rest of us do.
  2. way ahead of u Jason ;) cept im utilising the greatest invention of all - gaffa tape
  3. Happy Bday to Dom (Fad) have a great one mate
  4. I have a TomTom Go700 (or something like that) and its great, so easy to use, big display and does everything and more. I also have gps on my mobile (Nokia 62 something Navigator) and it works awesome as well
  5. i know this thread had mention of it... althought i never checked it out. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...st&p=124475
  6. 90% of the big accidents that i've seen in front wheel drive cars (especially Corolla Sportivo's) are caused by doing exactly what you have suggested. its called lift off oversteer. i accept your thoughts but i totally disagree. if you dont drive like an idiot, it makes no difference what wheels are driving the car. however, if i had to, my choice would be 1. All wheel drive 2. RWD 3. FWD
  7. yes that part is true dyl... i was more thinking that with a set of adjustable coilovers the ZZE series sportivo would be nicer to handle than the older one.
  8. how so? agreed, they're a fair bit heavier....
  9. thats mad then $40/night... n i wasnt serious with the autobahn... germany is excused because their cars are built to handle the autobahn... just imagine a commodore trying to brake down to 0 from 200km/h thats sheer suicide... Mandatory Driver Training is a PERFECT solution to help inexperienced drivers get out of dangerous situations BUT u'll need a miracle when u're doing speeds over 120km/h... yeah i knew u were joking ;) i think the autobahns are actually being speed limited now, which is probably a good thing. And your exactly right - mandatory driver training is a step forward but when u are in excess of 120km/h and something happens u've got buckley's chance of avoiding an incident, and if u do manage to its not skill its pure luck. i guess the next solution is speed limit all cars to 120km/h. however, it would be interesting to see stats on fatal accidents below and above 120km/h. u can kill someone just as easy at 30km/h as u can at 120km/h. To me, the whole problem comes down to respect and common sense. A car is a weapon. driving is probably the most dangerous thing normal people do in their daily life, however we are all so ignorant when it comes to driving. respect that what you are doing is dangerous, and what you are in control of can be a fatal weapon. And use some common sense. How many incidents have their been lately cos of street racing? i've lost count.
  10. Looks freakin cool.... but i reckon its fake
  11. not worth it just for the ugly gold colour :P seriously, nothing against the older sportivo but the 03+ sportivo's are just leagues ahead everywhere that matters. Dylan's sportivo is now officially the worlds biggest bargain.... might be worth looking into that, especially for one thats one of the quickest standard stivo's
  12. No, WSID is $40/night with as many runs as u get in. depending on the night it can vary. autobahn isnt the answer. Mandatory Driver Training has and always will be the right answer
  13. hahaha nice SD and its even a rednut!!
  14. they look very much like the ones we got in a group buy ages ago for $50 bucks.

    CAR RESPRAY

    yea even i can get a kandy paintjob for $1000 BUT that doesn't include under the bonnet or the sides of the doors or the boot or anything... so $1000 would basically get you the outside of the car and thats a load of crap... i hate people who do stuff like that. If your gonna do something, just dont be a poor c8nt and do it properly.
  16. for some reason i really dont think there is "Bang for Buck" to be had from Transmission Fluid. It serves a purpose... it doesnt create kilowatts
  17. Standard Corolla (ZZE122/123) PCD = 4 x 100 Offset = +45 Centre Hole = 55mm

    CAR RESPRAY

    add ons look like they are a different colour. Go and get the entire car detailed by a professional, i mean a serious cut and polish with an orbital buffer, find out what colour the car is supposed to be and then get them to match the paint (dont give them a colour code) and re paint the add-ons just cos the colour code is the same, doesnt mean the paint is the same. this shouldnt cost u too much, and trust me, it'll be a much better result than any 1-2k paint job u can get. when it comes to things like that, u really do pay for what u get
  19. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...showtopic=10160 seek and you shall find - its pinned in the brake section, doesnt seem difficult to me.
  20. dont forget the rally one that keeps blowing turbos ;) ..... that makes 3 You keep mentioning this but i still havent heard about it. What kind of rally is it competing in anyway, cos most rally events it wouldnt be allowed.
  21. hey they all look nice guys. My effort with sub boxes is at the below link. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...t=0&start=0 Question though, can u still access the spare wheel and does the back seat still recline the whole way?
  22. I also did what Northy did and attached the last bracket in robs car. PS i can see the pics
