My friend has confirmed attendance, yaris yrs. Stock as a rock :))

yes i did see luli's profile: future owner of an aurion? but just answering the question rather asking if luli's already decided on an aurion :P

IF it was b/w these two cars... i'd say the subaru... though i'm not too fond of the shape cars these days take... too fat (i thought mine was already fat) another thing i noticed is that both cars are both dealers... i don't trust dealers for the simple reason that MOST of thier cars have been patched up to some degree and the things that can go wrong have been masked. Yes you get the 1 yr warranty but u dont wanna drive something for abit over a year then start fixing it for the rest of ur life. take your time in looking for one and consider some private sales. u may get a better deal than most dealerships good luck anyways :)

Agreed, but for some reason shifting with this one seems so much better. Trust me....feels so good, you'd want a knob like mine too! bahahahahahaha swap over the old one for everyday driving and the other for track days :P

correction: the wind blew it off while it was air drying on a portable laundry hanger. It had a crack on the corner after that. I used 2 cans of White Knight cherry red engine enamel spray paint. Get the strut tower brace powder coated duy!!, while your at it, get your engine cover done too =) ok... so u wanna get technical? u put it on the clothes hanger, the wind blew it off and IT DROPPED ON THE GROUND :P :P :P yes you still dropped it becuz it was you who put it on the hanger LOL :P :P :P yes... i'm a **** stirrer :D and WOW! 2 spray cans of white knight paint??? was that 400g??? i must be stingy! yeah i thought nothing would touch the bar and the heat and cooling cycle from the engine driving it everyday would be ideal for it to cure in no time... the engine cover "L" is still in good condition :P love looking at it when i open the cover. first thing i look at :) reminds me of how much lift owns

nope. kept the distance. You need to put it approx 30+cm away from item being heated/dried. Most importantly, don't leave it blowing on one area for more than 2 secs. You need to constantly move it up and down or side to side. See for yourself below. Why else would I say it if I wasnt successful at doing it myself. far man, such a good job and u dropped it... lol... well since i'm such a perfectionist... i might keep sanding back and painting over the furry stuff until its smooth again... i already went thru 1 and 1/3 red caliper paint but man can i say that the places i didn't touch up, so smooth and the finish is awesome... 1200 grit paper may not be enough to take out the furry stuff from the engine bonnet i also noticed that none of the red paint from the bottom part of the bar transferred over to the black paint so i'm pretty good on that :) took it off and started to sand back the parts to spray it again... <_<

i was also considering that too much heat might make the metal weaker... thus didnt really wanna try the heat gun... there was the chance u could have deformed the plastic?

in all honesty i like the other one better lol................................................ :P

Its actually just the red i used on my calipers... Cherry red is more darker n has the metallic bits inside with some sort of pearl

Can you find out if your friend with the Yaris is coming. I'm leaning towards coming. I haven't been to any meets since Mt Baw Baw a few years back. i'll ask her and see if shes coming... but it will take more than just saying "come becuz there is only one yaris there" LOL :P

use a heatgun from bunnings - $15. abit late now... but i used a hair dryer... same thing... still didn't cure enough. even the air con hose and the accelerator hose have made thier marks on the front strut now i given up la... just wait til the rest cures... im too scared to take it off just in case i make things worse than what it already is. cuz i know that some paint has transferred to the black chassis paint :( the cai is just above the heater outlet in the laundry... that will help it cure in a few days i hope...

Ahhh sh!t when i closed the engine bonnet, the furry material rubbed on the newly painted strut bar. Now its got wrinkly texture on part of the bar :( no fur tramferred. Just the furry texture imprinted on tye bar :( cant really cure it unless i put it in the oven at 200•C ...

dont worry... more red is coming: ES red engine mount inserts bushings front and rear trd cai :) also any suggestions on the colour i should get with my TRD sticker? i was thinking just black...

mine is not cluncky. It's just stubborn at times (mostly when it's cold) and need some muscle to get it into 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear sometimes. But when the gearbox oil is in the warm temp range, each gear is much smoother. Thus, very temperamental. I will try BKS combo of Nulon Super Smooth 75w90 MT oil with the Nulon G70 additive before summer starts. what has it got in atm?

hung up the cai like lee suggested... and sprayed that damn "L" so it flows with the outside sticker yes... i left the original paint on top as i didnt wanna mess with the part where the sensor goes to as the MAF sensor is very sensitive... painted some galvinised washers... and its about f..ken time those went back in... :yahoo: :yahoo: went and bought myself some high tensile bolts from repco with those nylon rings so the front strut stays there and doesn't move... now with the heat and cold cycles i'll be having when i'm driving will cure the paint in no time! oh yeah... will put the cai back in when some people have time to come down my way... hehe ;)

cant wait to see this again on the meet!!! :D

when andy checked mine last meet. he said that there is some sort of bushing at the end of the gear selector cables. i tried jdmwhores sportivo which is stock as a rock w/o skirts n his shift is smooth but not clunky like mine n urs

Dw my friend maybe coming with her yaris yrs too :)

Whoa mamma! That a$$ is even lower than mine! :D what did you load on the poor shocks, :P

using these... i turned these... to this... to this... :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: now before you ask "WHY THE FUK this guy paint the TRD cai for? the cherry red is cool blah blah blah..." well it was scratched and i thought maybe i will repaint it to make it red/black theme for the engine bay and exterior... i already have a blue/black interior just needing the blue door sills now... <_< gonna spray the "L" on the plastic cover and will post completely pictures up soon as they are done... PS. no more in the future... too much bullshot and running of the paint grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

impressive zze123R man, although i almost saw my dinner after i drove it yday night lol. u notice i didn't talk much when it was ur turn driving me around? :P now work on getting the gears to shift "like its in water" like mine :D

Original post edited upon request by a fellow member. Fellow member wanted to know what model cars are to each nickname... PM me details if you think i got it wrong! Cheers all :)

saw that UZA104 sportivo hot chick again. mrs was like what u looking at? i said, that person got the same car as mine from front on she had eyelids and grill :)

actually these are tru-stars, he thought he could track them with these tyres but i looked at them and said "no they wont pass u on it" so we left them at home and i just thought i'd try them on later that night as people were telling me the paint them black as my calipers will show thru more. they did but i'm not too sure about the whole look of the car lol :P
