  1. The list so far: oz_viking Pecker IZZ-FE gOODbOYz + 1 kcorro BenT yowzer eddy_torrezz If I leave Avalon at 5pm, I should be able to meet on Saturday March 19th 2005 @ 6PM. Does this suit everyone? Meet at: Cafe Crema Arrow on Swanston 488 Swanston Street Carlton between Queensberry St and Victoria St
  2. Did you click on the link? I will be driving from Geelong into Melbourne on Sat night, March 19. Am keen to meet up with as many Sportivos as possible. I'm not that familiar with the city, so am waiting for someone to suggest a meeting point and cruise route. Cheers!
  3. So I have 5 names: oz_viking Pecker IZZ-FE gOODbOYz + 1 Someone want to suggest a meeting place, time and cruise route?
  4. Could be the cv's if they've excluded everything else. But shouldn't be a problem unless your car is a taxi and has done 1/4 million kms.
  5. Welcome. Nice car - how about joining the cruise on Mar 19?
  6. OK, I'm definitely bringing the stivo, and if it convinces you to turn up, then I'm also sure that SA stivos are faster than Vic ones. Heheh.
  7. So Craig, when do they make you a mod for all your spam, errr, informative posts? :D
  8. Heheh. Congrats, I guess?? Obviously you have an even more sympathetic employer than me.
  9. Toyota GAYO more like it.
  10. I've still got my new car smell after 12 months. I try to protect it. But if you really hate it, maybe get a friendly neighbourhood tomcat to urinate at the base of your front windscreen. That smell coming through the air vents will overcome any new car smell you had...
  11. OK, I will be driving from Geelong to Melbourne on the night of Sat March 19, sometime after 5pm. I'm yet to hear back from Cougs as to whether he's still available to cruise with me. Anyone who is interested, please suggest a meeting place and time, and I'll be there. I would love to see as many Sportivo's as possible and of course, meet all you nutbags.
  12. All right, I'm all booked in for my trip to Avalon. I'll be cruising in Melb on Sat Mar 19. Check the other thread in this section for cruise & meet details !!
  13. Any place that sells bulk ice can point you to a supplier, if they don't carry it themselves.
  14. The 205's will put your overall diameter out by 8mm. The best bet is to shoehorn on a set of 215/50 R16's - only 0.5mm difference in diameter and therefore won't cause speedo inaccuracy.
  15. Can anyone explain the suggested and seemingly arcane ECU resetting procedure? I have changed several times from the stock airbox to my CAI - WITHOUT disconnecting the battery and thus the ECU has not been reset. The ECU is always learning, so all resetting will do is maybe speed up the process of adapting to increased airflow (and therefore increase fuel delivery) with a CAI installed. But leaving it alone will eventually do the same thing... As for disconnecting for 30 mins, then idling until warm, then disconnecting again for 30-60 seconds, then driving the tits off your car - that just sounds silly. The second disconnection will just reset the ECU again so why bother? Why not just use Voodoo - it seems to have just as much validity and basis in reality as the above crazy procedure.
  16. Sorry guys - the pics are up now. It's been dropped 1.5 inches front, 1.75 inches rear. The ride is much firmer, but still comfortable. With the thicker rear sway bar, and -3/4 degrees front camber, I've noticed that cornering speeds are WAY up. Looks better on the road and handling is much improved, but the best news is that AAMI has approved all my mods because I'm over 25. Happy as :)
  17. Lighting in the 2nd pic isn't the best, but here are the before and after Eibach Springs photos:
  18. Maybe he meant the older GTHO?
  19. Is yours a red one? And are you talking about the Chrysler Club Cruise that left from K-Mart on Anzac H'way? If so, you probably saw my car.
  20. Is it still a reversing sensor in the front bumper? anyway, cool - I'm with AAMI and trying to get them to insure my CAI and eibachs right now.
  21. Will they say "FOR SALE" ?
  22. Dude - very nice. Hey, I'm coming to the West Indies for the cricket in 2007, can you pick me up from the airport if you still have the car? :P
  23. My dealer uses Havoline Energy (don't know the ratings). I tend to change it out 5000km later for Castrol 5W30.
