My thought exactly, so many things were in my mind at that point, he's just lucky I'm one of the nice ones, but one day his going to set off the wrong guy and cop it, people like that don't tend to get very far. Just annoys me that there are idiots on the road like that, I swear I think they should introduce a psychiatric test in order to get your license as well. I was so annoyed I did nothing about it

If it wasn't for my nice job and the fact that I don't want a criminal record I would've.. doesn't matter.. he probably had a hard days work pushing trollies at coles, probably the reason for his aggression.. some people aren't worth the effort, that guy wasn't.. he had a mate in the car that absolutely soiled his pants

I was a victim of road rage last nite, some dipsh!t in a bombadore speed between me and a parked car last night probably leaving about 10~20 cm between himself and both cars, he had absolute no control of his car at all, my brother said I should've gave him a love tap and he would've completely lost control. Caught up to him at the lights and got out of my car to tell him that he almost killed me back there, he got out of his car all worked up screaming at me "WHAT C#NT!!" pushing out his chest like morons do when they want to start something, not that I wanted a fight, if it wasn't for my brother getting out of the car as well I reckon he would've taken a swing at me... It just fkn annoys the absolute sh!t out of me when some moron acts like that when they know that they've done the wrong thing, there the real fkn hoons labelling actual car enthusiasts with bad names and the reason why car laws are so tough here in Australia! I got so worked up after that, actually took a real blow to my pride that I didn't want to knock his block off!! If only I got his rego, I wouldn't give it to the cops.. I'd post it on every car forum I'm a member of tho

In that situation, there's only one thing left to do:

Vaseline does wonders for car battery connectors... lol no jokes it's not just a lubricant hahahahahaha!

Bahahahahahaha! love it lol

+1 I'd love to see some pics from this meet, please post them up if you guys have any

93+ is pre facelift, I own a 93 and its a pre facelift model. So anything above that. But yeah, no difference really, just looks different.. I prefer the facelift models really

Lets be honest here guys, I know a lot of us have too much pride for our cars but in short, ANY Type R is practically in a league of its own. I mean, they're practically designed for race. DC2R is a perfect example of this: - LSD means the power to the wheels is much more direct - Lighter Chassis, means given that they both have similar power, the DC2R has to work less - Obviously the argument of which is better V-TEC or VVTL-i, V-TEC engages earlier I believe? You can tell by the way it's been built that it's an actual sports car, I mean, just look at it, two door coupe, spoiler, LSD, Bucket seats, no air con, hand build engine, V-TEC, and plenty more. Now, looks at the Corolla Sportivo, Leather Seats, AC, 5 door hatch, all pretty much comfort features.. then again, you have a bit of grunt there too, from the 2ZZ which can be found in Celicas and the Lotus Elise (which are both lighter cars, specially the Elise). With that said, there isn't a doubt in my mind that a DC2R will own a Stivo stock to stock though, but both cars have huge potential when tuned right. You'd probably be better with comparing a Stivo with an EP3R or a DC5R though, as I believe these have more weight on them due to more comfort features which had been added.. but yeah, DC2R, was pretty much made for track use straight out of factory.. And, I'd hate to say it but, Corolla Sportivos are really low end sports cars if anything.. I'm an owner myself and I know I'm going to get flammed for saying so, but seriously, take a good look at it At the end of the day though, what do you want the car for? to track it, or something to drive your mates around in with out feeling too hot during the summer and something good for road trips coz it's so comfortable? Or would you rather something that has no room in the back what so ever, something your going to swelter in during the summer and something that'd probably attract a lot of attention from the law? I think you guys know what I chose, I was looking at getting a DC2R before I bought the Stivo, and thats the exact reason why I chose it. But still, given a proper tune or modding, a Stivo can hold its own against a DC2R.. but at the end of the day, you still drive a Corolla :) lol

I had to design one of these in uni. We had to write up a program which would then translate information from an ECU and give back information on engine temperature, speed, acceleration vs time, fault codes etc. I remember you could buy a kit from Jaycar and build the scan tool between the ECU and your PC, we had to build one so that the information from the EML 327 protocol didn't damage the RS232 port on our laptop. Kit costed around 19 bucks all up. If you want a program like ours too, you can find a whole heap of open source code online that helps out with that stuff, even runs etc. if your into that kind of stuff. anyways, good luck :)

Traaaaansformers, Robots as Celicas Sorry, I really have a natural annoyance for body kits and scissor doors on small cars.. the rims I like though. Body kits (especially fibre glass ones) just start to flake and break after a few months, hence we I don't like them. I think Scissor doors and Body kits looks decent on VIP style cars like Accord Euros and BMers etc. cars with plenty of room. But hey, ten points for being daring and different. Looking forward to seeing more

lol! nice, yeah I'll take it there before I leave then, you'll have to send me the details though, it's the one on McIntire rd yeah? probably won't need lift to the airport though, whole family is going lol. I think my aunt's already raised her hand for the job, still I don't know how much of a holiday it's going to be with family... and Thailand of all places lol... why can't people get married in Melbourne, none of this fancy Thailand wedding stuff lol, thanks for the offer though I'm certain on taking my wheels to that place before I leave, they'll ahve a heap of stuff to work on haha! :) Thanks man

Good idea man, I might do that.. thing is, I'll be gone for 10 days so I hope they don't mind me leaving it there for that long lol.. Yeah I know, I'm planning on rolling and/or flaring the guards either way (gets out a heat gun, a jack and some phone books).. about the cops, I don't think they'd care.. but if I happen to get pulled over for speeding or being reckless, I should be fine, they haven't touched Tony in his GTiR yet because he drives sensibly, I'd think the P's were enough for him to get caught but nothing yet..

I'm always so busy :'( Let me know a night before a meet and I'll make the time to come out.. I just don't want to come rocking without side skirts and what not, car will be in the shop when i get back from overseas though.. I'm so lazy +25 on 8" wide should be okay? I think.. and everything is legal.. till you get caught ;) lol

Nice GT-fwooor! Looking good, I like them wheels Can't wait to see what you have instore for us, Mick Best of luck

Thanks Clifton, lol he sure does, but he needs to respond to his PM's more often haha!

Thanks Duy, The fitment on your car isn't that bad as well.. gives me a rough idea on what I was thinking to get, I want to go 16x8 with +25 offset, but it's hard to find the rims I'm after in that size.. I like old school rims way too much I think.. TOYTRD has great fitment on his, I've seen it a few times.. tried to pm him but he never responded :( lol Ohh well Thanks man, Now i just have to do some research on spacers and whether they're legal and which are the best ones so I don't have too much problems

What kind of offset are you sitting on man? I know I'm going 16x7, so the offset would depend on the width I'm sure, I think stockies are 16x6 from memory, and they have a +45 offset as, Damnfuzz said my brothers the expert on this stuff, he basically told me that for my car (ZZE) I should be looking for similar stuff to the Miata's (MX5's)

I was thinking of running that same offset as well, but I knew that it'd need to come out more on the rear wheels. Spacers? I don't think they're legal though <_< I don't know, are they?
