Might aswell just put a TRD badge on it. And a cannon

Yeah there's something in Dot4 that’s not in dot3 that is supposedly meant to be "bad" for your health or some crap Toyota reckon cant remember what it is now and because of this that’s why Toyota run Dot3 and do not design their systems to handle this extra chemical or whatever it is there’s been cases of where dot 4 and super dot4 has been used and its totally ceased and destroyed the brake packages lol? & the Castrol stuff is SRF which has a dry boiling po...

From memory i think it can bugger up the ABS system aswell. but like i said weve run VR1 and had no drama's

Yeah. Just did some reading about Toyota being adamant about using Dot 3 fluid. I tend to be on Penrite's side though and will continue to use their Sin brake fluid as it has been a good fluid time and time again.

Focus RS? no way there resale is very poor and not at all built very good. plus were a VW dealer as well so pricing/availbility isnt an issue and i really dont think a fwd focus would stick with the all paw golf, its grip levels are insane and cranking the power out of them is dead easy 1250bucks sees 240kw! and the inside just feels right, like a car that is meancing with out needing huge wings and spoilers lol

do it! what will happen to your aurion?

im not sure lol, thats the only thing holding me back is the fact that there is so much time effort and well coin in the Aurion and i kind of like the big sedan thing too its just a damm nice car to drive and be i , plus it does look the goods on the street haha well from what i can tell in shop windows anyways lol

congrats

Congratulations! :) What do you do for a living?

lol i work for Toyota? :)

had a company car for 15yrs and also had my own projects tucked away in the shed for hols & weekends...i don't have a company car in my current job and boy do i miss it,i wish i could put my Aurion away and use the company car and it's rego/petrol/maitenence/tyres/wear & tear ect ect,also keeps the km's down on your car so when you sell you get top dollar :)

yeah theres good and bad sides too it, having such a nice car you want to drive it and get it out on the road but havinga company car would be good cause it means it the Zr6 could be the weekend car and wont rack up kays and eat tyres and brakes etc, i know ill get the mod bug though if i just see it sitting there, it'll become the toy, but yes ill swap cars every fortnight or what ever, hybrid camry, aurion rukus hilux fj, prado we just sort of rotate what ever is new or on demo or curen...

man to be honest its one of greatest incentives if used correctly.

I noticed that in last 6 weeks i have put $30 of fuel in my car. which means i dont rack up 400ish kms in a fortnight.

Plus you then get to turn your car into Sunday car or project car :P

Oh man, i would go back and chuck the sh*ts at them. I would ask for compensation or at least go to a wheel repair place and get a quote to fix them, then take it to the tire shonks. I would go ballistic!

Oh they will be getting them repaired thats for sure! not happy with that effort at all lol

damn.. what kind of shonky tyre place is this!? Definitely crack it at them mate!!

:))))))))))))))))))

Good stuffs, make sure you share plenty of piccies of the results!!

Yeah cheers guys and girls, yes will do we'll whack them in at work so wil get plenty of pics :)

not really man.. it's been pretty dry. these past two days have been very icky tropical weather but no rain :(.

sydney has been mugy and just ***** loads of rain

And now there is sun in sydney woooooooooooooooooo

welcome back mate hope it was a good trip

Cheers mate, and yes it was awesome as loved it!

you missed a lot of down time

nahh the sri is holdens go fast little car model since forever lol inthis case a dirty cruze lol

Ahhh.. 1.4l Turbo right? not a chance against a mighty 6!

ugly little blighters imo

good stuff mate,need some pics when your done :)

any news?...it's been a few days now :)

haha nah still sitting under my desk at work, they will go in this saturday :)

ok cheers for that, i currently have them at 18 on the front and 13 on the rear with the spring wound pretty much to soft just so there is some pressure on it, might have to wind it up a bit, im guessing most ppl leave the spring set to the default out of the box settings?

10 front 8 rear for me... its all about the comfort :p

wow that is soft? what about the spring how tight? ive got the shocks at 19 and 14, need to make the front spring a litle firmer and the rear a bit bit firmer and hopfully that and the camber/toe been set properly should be a good thing, it feels good now can really feel the potential :)

Haha thanks mate, will do and yes ill bring back some goodies!

take care mate enjoy the trip :)

have fun young fella !

Awesome as, whats your plans?

boat sails in on a tuesday morning thinking of heading down the east coast first and then back up the west and spending saturday in devonport then the boat sails out that night will check out places to stay and things to do soon and hope to catch up with you on the saturday maybe :)

No dramas at all sounds great. well if you need any ideas on where to stay or what to do whilst your here just ask either myself, Chris(Paradigm) or Scott(Scoota44) as im pretty sure we are the only Tassie regulers on here and Chris and i are up North with Scott down In Hobart so between us we'll get you on the right track lol. catching up on the Saturday would be great will look forward to that!

did you just putt around or did you give em some stick?

either way nice one :)

Stickkk all the way, where it was possible, loved the growl of the ISF goes ballistic, && the F Sport is just like a perfect Aurion rwd with some serious poke and strong low end torque, but too damm quiet :( but i loved it!

Just drove the AMG C63 now thats a car :D

Hooray...another one joins the click & play club :)

Click, Tune, Play :) :) and there will be plenty of playing happening next weekend :)

Plenty of playing... and I'm sure you'll adjust the coilovers sometime, too.

do peeps still call it the mainland over there?

lol yeh you hear some call it that steal but most people just say where there going E.G Victoria, NSW etc :)

the reason i asked is my folks still refer to it as the mainland,cracks me up when i hear it :)

a nice son would wash it for her lol :)

lol i did, and cleaned the inside aswell haha

awesome good to hear mate lol :)

Lol. Same here man.

ha ha i just re-newed last week

yeah now i think about it i think i actually did get an email about it at work but had more pressing matters to deal with at the time so got filed into the "yeah later maybe" folder haha

IS 350C F Sport FTW!!

how sexy are those F-Sports. look just like a IS-F! might just have to be the Aurions replacment in a few years!

But still a ford lol

lol it was a dud! everything that could go wrong did go wrong, sad cause man it hauled and looked good with the silver ascents it had

yeah anyone that thinks these can be sorted straight out of the box is kidding themselves,there is a bit of setup work for personal preferences...keep tinkering mate :)

I think you mean "transmission cooler" chief! lol. Yeah, fun day it was, what with my cooking of brakes and lack of traction!

Wad happen after it expires? goes 'bad' ? lol

LOL who would know, who would know lol BUT i do love the Golf R 190kw AWD 19inch wheels massive brakes 6sp DSG, sharp tight chassis just how a hot hatch should be! and 2k later you can have it at 240kw 440nm!

nice mate! that could be my next moddage too

if nothing else, they look pretty cool :P
