  1. No they wont. They dont waste time on street cars and tyre kickers. The fensport rolla isnt that amazing when you think that someone in Canberra has been doing it for the past 6 or 7 years. If you want a front wheel drive 3S-GTE in a rolla, do exactly what rollamods said to do. If you want a proper GT-4 with the 4WD running gear, its not going to happen. You will need to import the 4WD rolla shell from Japan or SA for a start. Which wont be complied.
  2. Hey Gav, Its all because they disconnected the battery at some stage To fix, hold the button all the way down for about 30 secs, and then all the way up for 30 secs, then repeat. This usually fixes the button, otherwise it simply comes back after a couple of days. Strange but true!!
  3. Ground to wheel arch isn't accurate either. Different rolling diameter of tyres and uneven tyre pressures will mess with your numbers. I think you're meant to go from the centre of the wheel/hub/spigot to the top of the guard to get true measurements of changes in ride height. Legally I think it's measured from the lowest point of the vehicle down to the ground. Anyway, for Wayne, as my eyes see it, I'm on TRD SusKit and my car looks about the same as yours with your new spring/shock combo. My brother is on TEIN Superwagon and is at least 15mm lower than yours all round, but without sideskirts.
  4. Fast road cars are pretty pointless.... "100km/h oh noes, slow down!"
  5. Jimmy said something funny yesterday... "Keep my economics pure and let the Arts students fuss about politics"
  6. sorry to say but you are NOT covered by workcover or company insurance when you are travelling to and from work. The relevant legislation was changed 2 years ago to say that you are only covered whilst on official work duties, any travel to or from home or even lunch breaks are no longer covered. Also, if you have used your entitlement of sick leave, all that remains for you is to take leave without pay. They cannot fire you for being injured and unable to complete your duties, however if they do, depending on the size of the organisation you may be able to sue for unfair dismissal. Your best bet, as horrific as this sounds, is to go see one of those no win no fee accident lawyers, and see what case you have against the person who hit you. Sorry mate.
  7. and the fact that interest rates have dropped by a further entire percent proves how much this government knows about economic policy management.
  8. Take them both for everything they're worth... teach them both a lesson
  9. ...for a real car We all love our Corollas here but if you want something fast then buy something fast. If you want a fast Corolla then open your wallet and bend over... (especially the overweight ZRE)
  10. 1) Didn't vote for the clown. 2) Agree with everything stated above (esp Tats).
  11. To make it a true short shifter you actually have to modify the pivot point a-la rollamods. If you just take an angle grinder and shear half the shaft off then you may as well just change gears with your hand half way down the stick as someone else said.
  12. There's an easier way... you can take the whole light assembly out of the roof lining by putting a screw driver between it and the grey plastic. There's about 6 clippy things holding it in. Then you simply unplug the whole thing and you can take it out of the car and you don't have to do it upside down. Then to put it back in you just go plug-click-click and it's back.
  13. A couple of tanks of Vortex 98 and maybe a little bottle of injector cleaner could give you the same gain for the same price
  14. See that's how they get you... they're in every magazine. Sure they might look after the guy with the Ferrari (maybe) but they're not gonna look out for the loser in the Corolla. Also if you talk to mainly young people about it they probably think Tempe is awesome because often the prices are dirt cheap - yet the wheels are dodge, the tyres are terrible and wrong load rating, and the tyre-placard has been torn off - but bro, I got rims, sick uleh.
  15. Spring rates can be changed... Most suspension manufacturers give you an option to choose whatever spring rates you want. Spring rates have nothing to do with what engine is in the car or whether that engine is heavier or anything stupid like that, it's more personal preference of how harsh you want the ride to be on the street. On the ZZE Corollas I've seen coilovers with springs rates between 3kg/mm and 10kg/mm.

    Fight

    I thought that was fat chicks??
  17. natedog, any personal items in the car are yours to take, you should be able to go get them. Its only parts of the car and anything covered by the insurance policy ie stereo that u can't touch.
  18. The Camry and Aurion are the same body shell right?? What's stopping you fitting Camry-spec coilovers to the Aurion? Most of the coilovers people here buy for the Corolla hatches are made for Corolla wagons in Japan... still fits.
  19. LOL! dammit! hahahha... i just want the spoilers honestly... LOlz and side skirts ? LOLz Haha you bet your sweet ***** the person who buys it wants those things too

    exhaust

    I know the exhaust off a Sportivo hatch is the wrong length for a 1ZZFE Sedan... can't remember if it was too short or too long... One would asume too short

    exaust

    For a Corolla Sportivo (assuming this is your car) you want to get a nice 2.5" catback exhaust system made up with a sensible, brand name muffler on the end. Find a reputable exhaust shop in the Campbelltown area (assuming this is where you're from) and they should be able to fix you up. Check with the other Sydney boys for names of some good exhaust shops.
  22. You touch that car at the auction yard and you'll be leaving in a police car. Doesn't belong to him anymore. If you want it, join up and bid live online.

    Fight
