  4. Agreed. Drive to the conditions and don't be an idiot. Then you won't need AI to bail you out.
  5. MT

    Fight

    He's throwing a jab Simo you noodle, old mate on the right is defending. Granted he could easily give him the ol' left hook and have a KO first round.
  6. Hey, you must be Matt. Welcome. Already planning to vote for Glen, always pick the rally driver/navigator out of the pack!! Best of luck with the comp, and well done with the season, you did very well. PS my family owns the sister car to yours, so you definately have our vote! Cheers, Mick
  7. There already is a workshop submission for this topic.
  8. Great choice. White on white is special. My brother's car: What sort of suspension mods will you be doing to reduce that wheel gap? Recommend TEIN
  9. I think the conclusion of the 7 or 8 threads we've already had about this was that it's near-impossible trying to crack open the cluster... People ended up getting multi-stage shift lights which were just as cool.
  10. my post count is big enough... i dont need to whore up your thread. Geez, no such thing as joke on the ol' toe cow anymore is there?
  11. Sport mats are totally worth 20kw atw, dont u know anything SB???
  12. yeah bill (xoom) has a turbocharged 2ZZ GE. Its pretty soft though.
  13. I think everyone in this thread except for e240 has missed the point of left foot braking completely. Left foot braking is not recommended by anyone for use on the road. Simple reason - because 99% of drivers dont have the skill or precision to use their left foot comfortably. Its all in the way we are used to driving - all mind control. Left foot is used simply to push the clutch in and out, whereas the right foot is used for accelerating and braking which requires far more sensitivity. A normal driver would just slam their left foot on the brake causing more problems. Here's a simple test - try pushing the clutch in with your right foot. Its no where near as easy, I would bet $20 first time the clutch wont go in the whole way. Left foot braking is only useful as a skill to control a front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive car whilst cornering at high speeds, for the reason that e240 stated above. front wheel drive cars want to want to understeer when they are cornering on the limit, however if you back off whilst on this limit, the car whill oversteer uncontrollably. you use left foot braking to transfer weight forward to the front wheels to balance the car between understeer and oversteer. And the technique used (by me and most others as instructed by championship winning rally drivers) is to use the brake gently... just dip it in and out very gently several times. As a four wheel drive car handles more like a FWD than a RWD, the benefit is similar to above. There u go.. nothing to do with space or heel and toeing!!
  14. The boys in blue will have issues with purple
  15. Rugby League is "teh suxorz". There's only one world cup right Yusman?
  16. i honestly don't think anyone cared about this world cup cos it was supposed to be 1 sided. It seemed to take months to finish, and no one turned up to watch! What a waste of time lol. But yes what a great upset hey.
  17. Man I would love to have a RHD corolla. My car is a 93-97 model and thy came with a 7afe (1.8) and 4afe (1.6) mine is a 4afe with all Forged internals. the motor is fully Rebuilt. We got plenty over here, come and get em. Just a question (not being rude or anything), would it have been easier to just do an engine conversion for a 4A-GTE or 4A-GZE engine? or even a 3S-GTE? or are there issues with a complete swap that havent crossed my mind? Either way, you got the right result, very impressive.
  18. Dont bother with Castlehill Toyota, they will rip u off completely. Ebay. But remember the aussie dollar is shocking at the moment, you wont get it cheap!
  19. All RHD. What engine did these cars come out with in the states? Did you turbo the stock motor or replace it with something else?
  20. Haha. We bought up when they were cheap. Now every ***** wants bits. If you want cheap panels check out www.ozeparts.com.au
  21. The man's not kidding!!! 80+kg benchpress required lol. Or rattle gun FTW. Strut brace doesn't make a great difference on the ZZE's in my experiences. My brother's TEIN Super Wagons were probably the best streetable mod I've witnessed apart from semislicks. Nice and stiff for the track and lowers the centre of gravity right down.
  22. Everyone here imports either the TRD, AEM or Injen from the USA too. There are a few exhaust shops in Australia, CES, Liverpool Exhaust and Shift Performance, which have made up a CAI for this application too - basically the same thing but the American ones come in other colours. Nothing really forthcoming from Toyota Japan or Aus though. There are probably a few better (maybe cheaper?) panel filters you could use, especially the Japanese ones. TRD, Tom's etc. Or ITG make a good one too. But basically that's like spending 30% of the price of a CAI for 5% of the gain. Just hold onto your cash and source a CAI I'd recommend.
