    Fuel Consumption

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted

    Well i've only filled up once in the last month & even then it was only about $40 or so for a bit over half a tank.

    50,000k's & 3 years down the track i'm still averaging ~ 7l/100k's give or take a little depending on where I drive which hasn't been very far lately ;)

    Corolla Cop car in NSW

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted

    Spotted an unmark latest facelift white Levin corolla with NSW plate AWU50M as a cop car!

    Did anyone else think the plate AWU50M is meant to read Awesome or have I just seen too many crappy personal plates :ph34r:

    Might not get you for speeding but maybe it's targeting other 'hoon' activities...

    Just Bought A Toyota Stout

    in Classic Toyota

    Posted

    My only problem is.......... I know nothing about this car and can't find anything on the net, so............. anyone with any info or web links to info would be greatly appreciated by me.

    The only other Stout i've seen was Rod from Toymods & here's a link to the sale thread on the old forums.

    The new Toymods forum is located here & they could probably give you a bit more info...

    Which car is faster?

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted · Edited by Conquest

    Well I read on another (non-Toyota) forum about a Sportivo beating an IS250 and this was from the word of the IS250 driver.

    also another thing the IS250 has adequate power but its no mean performer as its quite heavy, about two weeks ago I tried to drag a corolla sportivo and I hate to say it but it kicked my *****.

    So i'd say in a straight line the Sportivo edges out the IS250 but in a rolling contest i'd daresay the Lexus would walk all over the Sportivo, never mind the cornering ability etc.

    If all goes well i'm hoping to get myself into an IS250 Sports later in the year :ph34r:

    Power windows

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted · Edited by Conquest

    However the old Camry at work did so I guess it's possible despite what Toyota say.

    Just thought i'd clarify, i'm talking about the 4th Gen late 90's Camry Conquest and when you hit the remote central locking it also wound up the windows at the same time.

    That was a feature I was hoping for but obviously it's lacking from the Corolla...

    What does "MY06" mean ?

    in General Toyota & Other Car Discussions

    Posted · Edited by Conquest

    I thought it meant May 06, as that time last year Toyota added in the extra options for free

    Hmm, what is it about May? My car was part of the May '03 upgrade which for the Conquest included standard alloys & all power windows rather than fronts only, while I believe the interior trim also got a slight upgrade aswell.

    When choosing insurance there were two brackets but I don't know if that changes model year or make year. Maybe the ones built prior to May were considered part of MY03 while the ones built after May were considered MY04.

    Where's melvinlau or any other Toyota rep ;)

    What does "MY06" mean ?

    in General Toyota & Other Car Discussions

    it's a model number.

    Yeah i'm aware of the Subaru numbering.

    However Model Year is a different concept but it's not something we generally see in Australia, if it's built in 2006 then it's a 2006 model. Call a spade a spade ;)

    However i've often seen overseas models released as next years model even if they started production in the current year.

    The model year of a product is a number used to describe approximately when a product was produced. The model year and the actual year of production don't always coincide, however.

    In the United States, automobile model years traditionally start in the third quarter of the preceding year.

    Why Get Married?

    You have two choices in life: You can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead.

    At a cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your

    wedding ring on the wrong finger?" "Yes, I am. I married the wrong man."

    A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds: "Husband Wanted". Next day she

    received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."

    When a woman steals your husband, there is no better revenge than to let her

    keep him.

    A woman is incomplete until she is married. Then she is finished.

    A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?" Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."

    A young son asked, "Is it true Dad, that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?" Dad replied, "That happens in every country, son."

    Then there was a woman who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until

    I got married, and by then, it was too late."

    Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

    If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you

    say -- talk in your sleep.

    Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.

    First guy says, "My wife's an angel!" Second guy remarks, "You're

    lucky, mine's still alive."

    Husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus.

    So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on

    the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of rubber at

    the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy."

    The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR

    stick, we'd be riding the bus, so shut the hell up."

    Sounds interesting -- any venues in mind??

    Yeah that's what i'd like to know aswell.

    Apart from the Royal National Park & surrounds where else do people ride around Sydney? I've heard that the Blue Mountains & Kuringai Chase National Park have some good trails but i've never been out there with a bike.

    Ahh I used to ride over 100k's a week on the south coast but now i'm lucky if I get a chance to ride along the Cooks River out to Homebush once every couple of months.

    Wheels car of the year

    has it occured that mabey the number 1 selling car in the country might actually be good......

    Nope :P Actually it's quite a range but a shame the base Omega is so poor.

    Anyway here's an interesting article comparing the REAL private sales figures.

    http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...ArticleID=19729

    The Commodore is Australia's biggest-selling car but it is not No.1 with people who put their hands in their own pockets to pay for a car.

    In fact, it's not even No.1 with private buyers of Holdens - the Korean-built Barina takes that title, followed by the Astra.

    People who park in a clearly marked NO PARKING area outside my house.

    Has anyone got any ideas to stop them parking there again? Nothing illegal of course, just enough to be a major PITA ;)

    I thought about surrounding their car with wheelie bins but knowing them they'll probably just move the bins out of the way and cause an inconvience to the other residents...

    DEATH! by drinking to much water *whos fault is it?!* =(

    in Lights, Camera......Action

    Posted · Edited by Conquest

    Provided the contestants were TOLD of the fact that consumption of too much water can cause water intoxication resulting in death (as opposed to it being written on a piece of paper that no one reads but signs anyway), then I think the contestants themselves are to blame.

    Who needs to be told? I knew that back in high school.

    I'd say it's Darwinism at work except for the fact she had kids, anyway they'll get their Wii out of the fat compo payment her family is likely to receive. Heard a great comment on this the other day, instead of trying to win a Wii for her kids in a stupid radio contest maybe she should've been at work earning enough money to buy one.

    Hell even if they've watched the Simpsons in the last couple of years then surely they've seen the episode where Grandpa Simpsons kidneys exploded :ph34r:

    EDIT: Ok after watching the videos that'd be right, make water illegal ;) Anyway I think there is certainly a civil case deserving of compensation but again i'd argue that the contestants should've known the risks or at least done a bit of research before participating. And before anyone wants to flame me 'won't somebody think of the children' style my mum died when I was a kid so i'm certainly not immune from the feeling however in her case it was an everyday case of breast cancer...
