Worst case scenario is replacing the handbrake assembly with the PBR Gen5+ handbrake setup. Or I just buy them off him. Same same different.

in.

Cheers mate :) I can organise a courier for all seats if you decide to part out :)

I would be interested in those seats! Good luck with the conversion.

my speakers must be failing cause i think i heard laughter instead of panicked prayers and hysterical shrieks

You really should do it all at once. However, I have done work like this: Day 1) Wash Clay Day 2) Wash Polish/Correction Sealant/Wax If the panel hasn't got stonechips or down to the white; you can do correction but it's not worth it on a damaged one as they'll respray the entire thing anyway.

Yep. Better off paying for some angled steel instead

Serving staff was attentive, attractive and polite but not friendly or engaging. Still would have taken her to The Stripclub though.

Sorry! On the upside, dinner was tasty but the wines are incredibly expensive.

It would seem I am having dinner at Sake tonight. Looks like I am out sorry crew

mmmm.... mesmerised by Daryl's avatar

Resize your pictures. Also, just because it's made of metal it does not mean that it is superior to a reinforced rubber hose. You're lucky that Toyota fixed yours for free, it would seem customer satisfaction is still high up on the list.

i will be there. In a Prado

we will see if the camry airbag assembly will fit or not

God damn it Steven. You're cutting into the ecu fund

Anything can be given for a price.

Hrhmmm interesting....

Don't you mean: If possible, could you show me any pics of the car with coilovers installed please? /basic manners

Merry Christmas little rabbit and.all. Being sick makes the booze pile look so wasteful. Oh well, this Christmas cake is full of fruit.absolutely drenched in alcohol. :D

No. I think Private Number is unique in being the only lowered 6th Generation Camry.

Christmas.

I have gathered various quantities of: - coke - solo - coke zero - Dr Pepper cherry - Fanta Strawberry (not spicy) - Fanta Grape - Creaming Soda - Bundaberg Ginger Beer + Sarsaparilla - Pepsi Max - Lemonade - V green - Redbull - Redbull sugarfree I may grab a few more

Sonax Extreme Wheel Cleaner - A wheel cleaner that is best used with a brush/mitt or light, fresh dust coats Slightly more expensive than other wheel cleaners available in similar sizes, this stuff turns purple when coming in contact with brake dust. It makes short work of lighter, fresh coats of dust making it suitable for regular washers (that is, people who was regularly) but it also handles heavy layers of dust with a quick agitation with a brush (or similar). I found it still suffers from the dust layer after washing that other brake cleaners have but to a lesser degree. Bowdens Own Body Detail - A quick detailer that yields good results but you need to move fast to use it Suitable for claying as well as a quick detailer (obviously), this quick detailer is good value for money ($750ml ~ $17). With results similar to Mothers Showtime it enhances the gloss on an already waxed vehicle in addition to it's ability to remove watermarks + dust. The biggest problem I have found is that you need to work quickly to buff it off as it evaporates rapidly when compared to other detailers I have used. Meguiars aggressive detailing clay - For stubborn dirt and contaminants from years gone by, Meguiars aggressive detailing clay is the answer Designed for more stubborn contaminants, this claybar makes removal of these unwanted nasties with little fuss. It is a little difficult to work with in terms of moulding as it is quite stiff; but this is easily offset by it's ability to remove the dirt with ease. This stuff is usually expensive, but it can be bought from Amazon (able to be shipped to AU) which makes this a must buy (and a great buy). Meguiars Medium Cut Polish - Promises medium grade defect removals with a high gloss finish but only delivers in defect removal. When bundled with a Lake CCS Orange cutting pad, this compound impressed in the defect removal area, comparable to the Menzerna PF2500 Power Finish at a fraction of the cost. It's easy to work with and I found it easy to detect when the compound was ready to remove. The biggest 'disappointment' was the lack of gloss in the finish which makes this a non-standalone product. However, the finish would simply need something like their Ultimate Polish to complete the surface. Meguiars Fine Cut Polish - A light cutting compound good for light swirls/scratches and leaves a good shine to boot. When used with a Lake CCS Orange cutting pad, this polish does a good job of removing light swirls while leaving a good finish. While the finish is not as glossy at the Menzerna UF5000 it is about 1/2 the price which makes it good value. The surface it leaves behind is good enough to be left as is (if desired) but can be taken to with a lighter polish or sealants + waxes. Like the Medium Cut Polish, the fine cut polish is easy to use and yields good results with the buffer. EazyGleam Silkwax - A synthetic wax blend made for the harsh Australian climate but lacks sufficient depth of shine. Easy to apply and super easy to remove, EazyGleam Silkwax is a polymer/carnauba/silicone designed for the climate that is Australia. It's water beading properties is good but doesn't have much of a just waxed feel and only performs averagely in terms of paint depth and gloss. However, it's ability to maintain the shine it does provide over long periods is nothing short of amazing. I have used it on my brother's 'spare' car which has not moved since placed there after the waxing. It still has great shine (albeit under the dust) but still beads water after 9 weeks of 24/7 exposure to the elements. Meguiars Gold Class Plus Carnauba - A worthy sucessor to the original Gold Class All the properties of the original Gold Class except this wax gives a somewhat 'wetter' look to the paint finish than the original Gold Class. The only downside to this would be it can streak and may require moisture for removal. Given it sells for the same price as the original, the new Gold Class is a worthwhile replacement. Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Hard Wax (for dark cars) - Fantastic results from such little product; but these results don't come easy or cheaply Given a sample pot from the Big Man himself, I was delighted to give this stuff a go as reviews looked promising; and it didn't disappoint. A little difficult to work with being a hard wax (though I was told afterwards that warming the pot first is a good idea) the gloss, lustre, 'just waxed' feel (though the just waxed feel doesn't last as long as I hoped it would) and water beading properties of Blue Velvet was outstanding. Longevitity is similar to the Meguiars M26 Paste Wax. While it is more expensive than the usual SuperCheap/Autobarn offerings, Blue Velvet offers good value for money given the great results it provides. However, given the results of the Blue Velvet, it makes me wonder what kind of gain (and what the diminishing returns are like) when buying ultra premium wax such as Swissvax. Mothers Spray Wax - Quick and easy to use but even with it's value for money it's still not worth buying This spray wax is simple to use as it wipes off with little fuss. However the shine it leaves behind is average as is the just waxed feel. Even with the larger bottle (710ml vs 473ml) and a cheaper street price (~$2-3 cheaper), I'd still choose Meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax over this. Meguiars Even Coat applicator - Need an applicator for wax and sealants? Look no further. Given the apparent 'failure' of the TurtleWax Microfibre applicator I thought I was a little mad giving these a try and it turns out the initial method of application is very important. Using the lessons learned from the RO, I decided to put a swirl of wax on the pad before applying; once the wax is spread on the applicator it is actually a very good pad. There is minimal soakage into the pad and the large size of the pad makes application of wax/sealants quick and easy. The large size (and it's ridigity, that is for a microfibre wrapped pad) can make it a little tricky to use if you have non-dextrous hands. Aquatouch Ultra Soft Microfibre Cloth (grey) - Ultra soft, plush and removes residue like it's going out of fashion Bought from Waxit.com.au, these are priced $2 less than a Meguiars Supreme Shine towel and given how well they work; they are underpriced. Suitable for quick detailers/spray waxes + wax removal, the plush fibres make short work of the product which means less passes reducing your chances of swirls. @ 40x40cm it's not the biggest but the density of the fibres makes up for this. Carrand 25'x36' waffle weave drying towel (CRD40060) - It's no Viking but a low price and good water holding ability makes it hard to pass up. Much like the Viking drying towel this makes short work of water waiting to be dried of the car. And like the Viking drying towel it needs to be ordered from overseas. This towel would be a winner if it were bigger as the price is very good.

About time! Auscam is gone, you might need to repost your re-upholstering door cards thread here. An old one, was big on ballistics when I was young (and now) and liked the .357 numbering. So Andrew + .357 = Andrew357
