  2. oh no! had a blast down a back road in the new AWD VW Golf R DSG and just wow! ive had dreams about it since :-/

  3. drove an 07astra today. I literally flat sticked several times and it no go. lol. such a difference from a v6 aurion in power :|

  4. Went and checked out the new limited edition Aurion today and WOW I WANT. Only problem is why must the wheels be so small. 19" minimum please.

  5. $120 well spent. Smooth as silk!

  6. drinking and many late nights is very very bad!

  7. How much would it cost for an oil filter wrench for an Aurion from Toyota? Does SCA or repco sell one as well and if so how much?

      id be doubtful that anybody else would be making a SST for mainstream public, dealers really arent meant to sell them to joe public but im sure you wont struggle to find one that will though, good news is though there around $37.00 so not totally out of the question price wise.

  8. mm good ppl of TOCAU who have company cars, is it worth taking up the option does it work better off in the logn run?

    1. Adamsy

      Adamsy

      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...

      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...

      Adamsy

      TRD make a Road, rally and Track spec brake fluid compatiable with its brakes system (where as Dot 4 and super Dot 4 isnt) it's the stuff they use at lemans and touring cars that sort of thing. has a dry boiling point of 282 degrees! and this along with a castol formula (think its called SRX or something) is the only other fluid you can use in our brakes :) oh and dot 3 too ofcourse ha

  12. The look on the Xr8 owners face when my sportivo smashed him last night Priceless My look Shocked thinking how the f**k did this xr8 lose to a sportivo twice.

    1. Adamsy

      Adamsy

      lol its really interesting that how little advantage V8 commodores and turbo falcons have in the real world without being completely stupid. i once followed a BA Xr6t on windy stretch of road and smashed him he was a dead average driver and was just chucking it about like a noob so fair to say the ZR6 ate it easily so if had to prove his worth on the highway when i went to overtake him (as he was deliberately doing 70 in a 110 zone) and of course he dropped it as i pulled out and much to my s...

    1. Adamsy

      Adamsy

  23. Subwoofer hunting. Hmm so many choices. Focal, JL audio, Boston Acoustics, Rockford Fosgate :S

  24. wow that was prety epic, coil overs are in, toe in adjusted but still have to do the camber, what settings are people running out of 30? and how hard or soft is your spring set?

    1. Adamsy

      Adamsy

      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 :)

    1. Adamsy

      Adamsy

      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?
