  1. Yes, especially in NSW. From memory, it's a defect as you've gone past 3". Edit: Wasn't quite right, but still technically correct: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsi/vsi09_rev4.pdf In terms of speed/economy:
  2. Had a few shots done by 51DER (Michael) and here are the first set:
  3. Have had a very small menu to choose from but the best car I've driven would be a Lexus GS460. A very well rounded + well balanced car.
  4. Those would look mint on the GS460... *drool*
  5. I believe most of the bolt on kits in the US (as low as 3k) will fit. From memory, i believe there is a bolt/fitting/protusion that needs to be ground in order to fit. This may vary from kit to kit however as I am sure there would be slight differences. No kit is ever really 'bolt on'
  6. Koni adjustables are an option, but be prepared to pay for them. They are very good however. I have always been a strut and spring man. The steering rack bushes should make your steering more direct and much more responsive.
  7. Is absolutely wrecked but at least it is Thursday. Yeeeaaahh!!!

      Second that!

  8. Be careful when buying shocks for a 2002-2006 Camry from overseas as they are made for the MCV30r and not the ACV/MCV36r. The AU Gen5 Camry is very different from a other Gen5 Camry; if you do choose to buy from an OS dealer, it would be worthwhile checking which Camry they are made for. In answer to your question, it depends what you want. If you want all out performance go a set of coilovers. Pedders as far as I know is the only company that offer a coilover set for the 36 series Camry (Extreme XA kit). K-Sport, D2 among others make coilovers for the MCV30r but they are not tuned for the 36 series. Coilovers however are as rough as guts and you'll lose plenty of your ride quality. Bilstein, Tein etc may make a coilover set to suit but I can imagine the cost won't be particularly delicious. For day to day driving with very good handling, as Daryl said some Koni Adjustable inserts are a good choice. I currently run a Koni Sport shock housed in a Bilstein strut housing. They however aren't particularly cheap, I believe the setup cost just shy of $2k. It's not good value for money (compared to a coilover set in terms of handling), but the car is still a comfortable drive. I'd recommend a set of lowered springs to improve handling as well. However, another cheaper way to get a solid drive without breaking the bank is to buy a set of KYB Excel-G struts and some lowered springs. The KYB excel-Gs are probably the best of the OEM replacement struts and for the price they handle pretty well, especially when bundled with some lowered springs. Chances are the struts in your car now are worn anyway so you'd notice a big difference in handling. In addition to the struts/coils whichever way you go; get your hands on: - Whiteline 20mm rear sway bar - UltraRacing front-strut brace - SuperPro lower steering rack bushes Those 3 + your suspension choice will dramatically improve the steering and handing of your car.
  9. who u trying to fool? >:-D To be fair, he babied the clutch so much last week. I thought he was going to tear it up.
  10. You guys are no fun ;) I'm coming in the Rexus tomorrow, she needs a clean despite mum saying 'wow it's so clean' when we picked her up last night
  11. Good o. Clutch goes in next Tuesday so you can give her a beating tomorrow night.
  12. Cool story bro edit: No surprises here though. Toyota build them bulletproof.
  13. MAF sensor mount, alloy tubing, pod filter, clamps, silicone hose have been purchased in preparation of making a custom intake for the Rexus

  14. That's a question only you can answer. Look at me, I've spent over 15k on mine, probably much more than most people would spend on a Camry. As I have said before 'there is still so much that needs to be done' and even then it's still going to be slow. Am I going to stop and call it a day? Unlikely. For reasons which I cannot explain other than 'cause I want to'. It goes against all logic and fair-reasoning but the heart wants what it wants. Besides, if I get the Rexus; she'llbe de-registered and beasted up a little.
  15. Firing the large .455 Webley cartridge, Webley service revolvers are among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced. Although the .455 calibre Webley is no longer in military service, the .38/200 Webley Mk IV variant is still in use as a police sidearm in a number of countries.

  16. It'd probably fit with modifications but the amount of extras (modifying, brackets, engineering etc) costwise and TIME, it's just easier to do the TRD upgrade.
  17. The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed and recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. John M. Browning designed the firearm which was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985 but is still in use today.

      No thanks, you can play single player and add some bots.

  18. That weekend is no good for me sorry. I'm already needing the 24th off and I can't have the whole weekend off.
  19. The Martini-Henry was a breech-loading lever-actuated rifle adopted by the British, combining an action worked on by Friedrich von Martini (in certain respects resembling, and sometimes claimed to be based on, the Peabody rifle developed by Henry Peabody), with the rifled barrel designed by Scotsman Alexander Henry
