Dam lugnut. They were originals went they?? ie not copies? did they come with a recommended torque tension? i suspect they were over tightened.... EXHAUST PICS PLEASE!!!

When Dynoing with the CAI, high speed fan was used. Typical loss of 25-30% is the standard for FF

I keep these in the glovebox of both cars... Im not sure if there are other brands available, but these moisten/dissolve and remove the problem promptly. Now I just need a mini Megs Ultimate Quick Detailer bottle in the car and ill be all set. :D

Welcome Tony, good too see some more WA'ers :)

The ZRE is just simply the "Rolla". The LS430 is "The Lex" yes i know..corny indeed....

Nice, limited edition.. (we could do without the watermark i think...)

Beautiful. Quite a few hardcore mods for a daily... must be pretty firm and unforgiving?

Now im really thrown John.... Im thinking they might have to be dark/black to pull this off maybe? or white? and BIG. i didnt realize how much it would change the look of it now...

Wow, really throws off the BBS... hmmm....

waiting..... waaaating...

Excellent, looking forward to some comparisons... Raining all week here so still no go with the AG app.

Passed inspection by 5mm, if i was seated in the car it would be considered detectable. Inspector also stated that the ride height supplied is wrong, and should be amended. Still defect tho as i need to install an eye-height brake light, as my TRC spoiler doesnt have one. SO still defected till tomorrow arvo..

Seems i have just scraped in with heights on the stock OEM sus. Front and rear by 5mm. Therefore, South Australian minimums are NOT correct, they do not take into account the 1/3 of suspension travel, or 100mm clearance in their tolerances.It seems NO ONE is willing to recognise this, noteven the head engineer at the states biggest Inspection station. The Federal Minimums also seem to be incorrect, allowing: F=375 R=369 According to ADR requirements, the front and rear MUST be lowered in equal amounts. Lets see how tomorrow goes...

Oh that call didnt go well, i backed him into a corner and he didnt like that.... I can smell a sh!t storm coming on the horizon...

Interestingly enough, 3 other Corolla hatches i haven measured today also fall under the SA minimums. I have contacted the engineers at Regency park Inspection station and raised this issue. All vehicles should have a lee-way of lowering amounts, generally 1/3 of full suspension travel. Clearly, this isnt the case with the Corolla hatch numbers listed. So hopefully this afternoon we shall rectify this problem by checking the national database... It seems that one person(me) actually putting his foot down may indeed help all the owners of Australia's number one selling vehicle and avoid this problem from happening.

Thanks John, have to make booking within 3 days. Then go to police and get an extension to allow me to drive around while waiting for the day. Making the call now, on hold for 15 min already....

Thanks Thomas, Seems something isnt right as i thought. Minimums are F 380 and R 401. Im heading down to Toyota today to measure also...

Seeing this and my bloody CCFL kit just arrived for the LS430 today... Im pretty sure ill be ditching the CCFL's and DIY LED rings like i was planning. At least the acrylic rings are all but invisible when off. Im really impressed with the output of these LED's.

Grab a tape measure Seby! im pretty keen to find out asap. :D

You running 5mm LEDs i assume? did you use a dremel for the scoring? very neat work Re frosting, i understand what you mean, do you not get enough forward thrown light with the frosting?
