NEWCASTLE TOYOTA ... STUFFED MY WIFES PRIUS :(

:D

WE NOW USE :

:P

FOR BOTH HER PRIUS AND MY AURION.

WE USED THEM BEFORE WITH OUR PREVIOUS CARS AND , NO RIP OFFS, ALWAYS MOST REASONABLE CHARGES, VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEGABLE, REALLY GREAT TO DEAL WITH

What's the cost of a logbook service with them?

Not to hijack this thread, but why is the MY03 corolla rim and tire size different to all the others?

Thats without the discount ..

How did you know i work for WW?

I've seen you mention you do the IT for them lol. Not stalking, promise :P

Fuel : Vortex 98

Price : $1.319 C/L

Tomorrows fill up to come later.Will include PULP and ULP details.

Is that with your staff discount or before?

I'm actually in Belmont, so about 2km from Belmont Motor Repairs. I got my rego done with them in April. I guess the ease of getting there and back is a good point so I might think of them for the next service. I wouldn't mind doing it myself with some instruction from my dad who has been working with cars since before I was born, but I can't help thinking I need to keep it log book serviced to get a decent resale.

Usenet would be the absolute best thing for it, especially if you like obscure and hard to find music or only collect full albums. Though it is a bit trickier to use and you will need to sign up to a provider. I'd recommend Astraweb if anyone is interested.

Sorry if this is the wrong spot, couldn't think of anywhere more fitting. Anyway, I moved to Newcastle at the end of last year and I'm currently trying to find a good mechanic to go to. I've had my car done at NRMA shortly after getting here and that wasn't to bad, but does anyone have any recommendations for a mechanic they've used etc?

I got a quote today for something similar but with a single DIN. $400. So, I'm reasonably handy, and the guy explained exactly how he would do it anyway, so I'm just going to do it myself. Just googled 'car audio inner melbourne' and got http://www.audiofx.com.au/. Call and see if they fabricate stuff and then just pop in for a quote.

Thanks for the advice superdave, ill change the rear and let you know how the front go....by the way is that ur moustache????

Lol nah, SuperDave is younger and with red hair. I've heard that changing ABS between cars can be an absolute nightmare though. Do you have any guides etc?

any input would be great, if you have your own method, id love to hear it...

Dave

I take it one of those full-front car bras are not an option? It's as good as it gets but kinda ugly unless you have a black car not the complete opposite :P

Ok oooone more question if you don't mind lol. Where did you/will you be purchasing the speakers from?

sorry "full" :P

Ha, I was more questioning the 'and it doesn't pretty good' part :P

fully alpine setup and it doesn't pretty good

Lol huh?

If you dont want to part with much cash but feel the need to spend money on it

Clarion

Alpine

Kenwood

Pete,

Are Alpine speakers bad at all then? I've got the stock speakers and after putting in a new Alpine headunit I've lost a lot of bass etc so I was going to match the speakers and sub. The thing is, it's a 8 year old car that I intend to part with in 3-4 years so I don't want to spend a fortune. In saying that though, if there's little improvement, I also wouldn't want to spend the money getting the Alpine gear.

How much did the Dynamat cost all up and where did you get it from?

I voted for Meguiars even though I do use some AutoGlym products. I used to do the IT work for the Sydney distributor of Mothers (Command Auto Group) but at the time I had an AE92 so I didn't bother to take care of it.

Hi,

I'm after the stock Sportivo Grille as shown in this image:

I'm only after the metallic silver, locations not an issue.

But nice meeting all of you! I'd like to thank Guni for his tow strap, Mick for his tow hook, and the white Aurion for pulling me out of the ditch

I have to know, what's the story behind this?

Accidentaly quoted myself >.>

I called and the price I got for 215/40/17 was $250 fitted.

As for the discounts , im ready to haggle them (CES) if we get enough interest from NSW and VIC as we should still get the group discount...

Could you ask them what the go is if there's like 5 Sportivo Models and only one 1ZZ model? From what was posted earlier it looked to me like everything had to be the same.

Since I have the 1ZZ, that kinda negates the group buy aspect am I right?

How much do they go for normally? I may be interested.

if you really wnt the best sort of "rain resistance" i would strongly recommend you to:

1. clay window/wipers.

2. apply auto glym glass polish

3. apply rainX

Do RainX and AutoGlym work together? I thought it was one or the other.

How much were the Federal 595EVO?

I'd also like to know this.

This isnt really new news, in Australia they can guess your speed too. The cop just needs to be following you to get the average speed.

To true. I overtook an undercover 22km/h to fast and he pulled me over giving me a pretty good guess of 20km/h to fast. He didn't book me though which is great since I intend to join the police and that wouldve delayed my application by a year...
