  1. Thanks Pete, looking forward to your feedback once you've given it some use. The only thing it seems to be missing is a dedicated sub RCA output.
  2. Do you have a link to the one you got?
  3. Deposit paid on a Red 2011 Camry Altise. Might have it in a couple of days !! Haven't been in a Toyota for a few years now since my Yaris...

  4. Sold! Gonna miss you little Yaris... I have the LED taillights for sale if anyone is interested - $200 + post or pickup Brisbane Southside. Email me: kiz [at] zclub [dot] com[dot]au
  5. back to the stock crank pulley...

  6. The YRS is a 1.5L. The YR is the 1.3L. YRX is basically a YRS with a bodykit, different wheels and foglights :P
  7. It's a moot point... if you can afford the 1.5, get it :) I bought mine on the premise it was a 1.5 but found out otherwise later :P A couple of mods later and it runs a lot better but being a manual helps. In summary: do NOT buy a 1.3L Auto! Manual will be OK though :)
  8. No flanges :( no way of changing any part of the system from the header all the way to the tip without cutting and welding :(
  9. Sure but my exhaust is just a resonator-back 2.25/2.5" press-bent steel with a 'sports' muffler and I only have the 1 pulley for the crank... You'd have to cut and weld the exhausts and I already have the stock pulley, just need your belt. Anyone else want LED taillights? does your exhaust not have a flange? also PM me a price for the pully PM Sent, I'm failry sure there is no flange but I will check tonight. It would be silly if there was no flange though....

  11. Yeah I am considering returning it to stock and selling the pulley, K&N filter and tail lights separately... you interested?
  12. Hey everyone, I've been wanting to take the bike for a trip up to O'Reilly's retreat for some time now. I finally got to do it today Starting from home I headed out towards Beaudesert, then over through some wonderful places like 'Wonglepong' and 'Boyland' to Canungra. A quick $6.20 top up and we're off to the mountains. The roads before the ascent aren't too bad. Some nice variations make the trip a little less boring but there are a couple of sections where only the centre of the road is sealed and any oncoming traffic means you have to go on the gravel. Once you reach the bottom there are cow paddies EVERYWHERE! Nasty, smelly, slippery piles all over the place. Going through in a group would have everyone flailing their legs to warn riders behind of all the crap. There are a few cattle grids in the MIDDLE of corners... any lean angle while going over them makes for a slippery sideways experience, oops. The ascent is fairly average. There's not much chance to really go hard since you are constantly giving way and looking out for traffic coming through the one lane sections. There are so, so many one lane sections. I had decided to take the trip up after lunchtime so there were quite a few cars and coaches making the descent. The road surface isn't crash hot either and safety barriers rarely appear betwee you and the edge of the road which drops off immediately. Lots of blind, one-lane corners and tight, slow corners which leave you with a sense of achievement every time you come out of one. There are some long sections of dense rainforest which, when coupled with the overcast conditions, meant I couldn't see without taking my sunglasses off These sections are so cool and green, I love them! On my trip up they had recently completed trimming back the vines and trees from the road so the surface was covered in sticks, branches, vines, leave nd debris that make for a rather annoying obstacle course. The final section of rainforest before you reach the end of the road is a narrow, twisted, dark road. The entire section is one lane and if you encounter anything coming in the opposite direction then one party must squeeze themselves off to the side so the other can move past. There are some short parts through here that you can see a straight line to take on the bike and actually have some fun whereas a car would have to twist and turn to avoid the trees blocking the road everywere. The carpark at O'Reilly's on a weekend is normally packed full but today there were but a few visitors to the place. At this stage I was happy to have made it safely without major incident (other than a coach taking a nice wide berth coming the other way around a blind corner). I would say the trip thus far was certainly challenging but when done with care it was not necessarily dangerous or risky. A few minutes wandering around the carpark taking photos and I was ready to get going again. The return trip was much easier as I was used to the conditions and knew what to expect from the bike and how it would react to the surface and conditions. I didn't hold back as much now and everything seemed a whole lot smoother and faster and left me with an even bigger sense of achievement. A stop at the lookout on the way down meant some more nice photos were taken and then we were off again. I only encountered 1 car on the way down who courteously moved over when they could and let me past. I'd say I was going at about 75-80% of what I could do on the way down. 100% being going full-ball to the maximum of my abilities but I wasn't prepared to do that as the risk of hitting a stick or stone and sliding over or falling off the edge were too great and I wanted to enjoy myself, not have another scary run I would be glad to see the end of. The descent from O'Reilly's was the best run I've ever had on the bike, ever; fast sprints, hard braking, sharp and tight corners, a pretty tame angle of descent and a whole lot of confidence with no hiccups whatsoever. Back through Canungra, then the usual route to Yatala and up the M1 home. Yes, it was the best riding experience I've had yet Photos: Enjoy
  13. Spotted STYLSH waiting at the lights to turn onto Mains Rd about 6:40 tonight. I was driving past in the Z :) You can spot the unique front of your Camry a mile away!
  14. 12 months rego now included. Price remains the same with new rego but scratches not repaired. If the scratches get fixed the price will be $11,500.
