  1. The only people who complain to me about petrol prices are the "battlers" who buy unleaded... They tend to be the same people who smoke and p!ss away half of their weekly budget and buy a king size Mars bar at the counter. Those buying 95 or 98 octane fuel have no problems, they've had to pay $1.50+ before.

    LOL when they pay for the fuel do they go "******en, that one over there mate" and point at there car??

    Seeing as Jimmy hasn't replied yet.... YES, we get that a lot. Furthermore, it is usually followed by " Aw, I need a receipt with that too" in a half aggressive tone. They then read the receipt on the way out, and chuck it out at the door... yeah right they "need" one. They are checking to see if we ripped them off or not at the counter.... haha, peasants.

    And Suprathai, whats with the no searching for hookers? :P

    haha, yeah i get that alot too, i also work in a petrol station, so many people are thinking we ripping them of "that price is not right, did u give me the 6 cents/L discount?" reads the receipt for 2 minutes and say" now, where's my discount!? it dont seem right"

    i found that the people who complaint about the petrol prices are the middle age group, p platers dont really care they will put 20bucks worth of fuel regardless of the fuel price

    and Leory dont think too much about all the math thing man, just add fuel in and enjoy, otherwise u mind as well ride a bike like mr2zz :lol:

  2. Saw Black 'MRRUNX' on Friday Night parked along Russell st near Bourke and Russell St intersection away from Chinatown. Really low ride with sweet sweet JDM taillights, wingtips, eyelids and grille with trd badge. The stock rims look like they're ready to be changed anytime ;)

    i always thought he had dark colour aftermarket rims

  3. Done a few runs of Mt Gravatt :) Very nice!

    With the current settings the ride is firmish, but certainly when you have them on the lowest setting the ride is as standard :)

    glad u like it dude, i have them as well and love them so comfortable and handles well best thing for the street besides the highest grade of coilovers

    hope u dont mind me asking, what set up do u have on them? like....how many turns to firmest do u have front and rear?

  4. Further rumour is the engine will be a high revving 2L, 3s-ge beams maybe? And the chassis and drivetrain work might come from Subaru, but be rear wheel drive still.

    The front bumper looks Lexus-ish while the rear looks 7th gen Celica-ish, neither is a bad thing but I hope there is an option to colour code the bumpers. Or better yet, bring back the two tone!

    Everyone here is a bit behind the times. This was on autoblog in August 2007 with way more detail and full sized scans.

    Basically this is a result of Toyota's "Committee to create interesting cars" and is going to be a resurrection of the small, light and cheap RWD concept.

    The engine that they're planning on using is a 1.5L 2NZ-FE good for about 120hp. With an all-aluminum build it'll probably be a hell of a lot lighter than the iron block 4A-GE.

    They are keeping the weight of the car down as much as possible and they intend for it to come in as close to 1 ton as possible while retaining most of the modern creature comforts.

    Rumoured release date range between Christmas 2008 in Japan and mid 2010 for the rest of the world and the sticker price is to be below 1.5 million yen (that's approximately $14-17K).

    And yes, I'll be grabbing one of the first ones that are sold in Australia.

    i thought it would have a subaru engine instead of toyota, any how 120hp is a bit underpowered these days unless they make it as light as ae86 but i doubt that

  5. for those that cant wait for the kit, heres some interesting bit that was stated in the menu

    "The system will not affect your vehicle's normal driving characteristics in any way. the added power and torque will become evident during part-to full- throttle conditions"

    "the system will exhibit an aggressive, throaty intake sound during part- to full- throttle conditions. you may also hear air being purged from the intake runners following engine shut down. this is caused by the less restricted intake channel and free - flow air filter and actually enhances the performance character of your vehicle"

    it sound awsome! i cant wait to put this on and feel the difference

  6. gone are the days of affordable sports car.... other than mx5 there is not many left that stick to traditon....

    skyline 40 years of straight six (other than 1 that used amazing 4cyl this was famouse !! )

    now skyline uses v6 layout... >__<

    looket cost of gt-r....

    heard toyota and subie r gonna make the 'new ae86'-cheap sports car, RWD, light weight and high revving

    hope its true

  7. 3 weeks is alright, considering the price we pay and compare to the ones selling in australia

    yea im not complaining about it im just a whinger :) but seriously its a great price and I dont mind the wait at all

    i know how u feel, same here :lol:
