  1. first of all it depends if my cousin can convince my parents to carry home 2 in their hand carry muahahahahaa!!!! i asked 4 just one 8inch... but they might get me two if the price is right. anyway with the sub box.... put one on each side much the same design as the custom sub boxes that were being sold here in the forums several months back... probebly place the amps underneith the seats or attach them behind the back seats. yea i wanted 8inch square subs coz apparently (i read somewhere - cant remember where though.. probebly the kicker website) that these solobaric subs can be placed into a smaller box than their round counterparts... plus the 8 inch solobaric is equal to the sound of a 10inch round sub.. so economical space was a major factor in my choice with regards to the subs. well... that, and the fact that kicker in australia only sells the 12 or 15 inch solobaric subs... NOT the 8s.. so individuality/rarity was also a factor. since kicker have pretty much copyrighted square wooferz and missy elliott has at least 8 of them in the back of her HUMMER H2... i thought why the hell not?! longterm project is to install a carputer. already bought "geek my ride" from ebay which was useful but not the bible on how to install pcz into the car... but i got that kinda planned out. along with the sub (or subs) + amp, i plan on the carputer, indash motorised 7inch lilliput touchscreen with vga, 1din dvd HU... oh yea the stock speakers gotta go... get an amp and some decent speakers + tweeterz etc.... so this is a long long term project. still gotta get outta uni n become a highschool teacher... 1 more year to go b4 i even get that far.
  2. im not one for the most expensive sh!t you could put in the car... nor the loudest.. i got my wife sitting next to my 4month old in the back... dont want them to go deaf!!! besides... even if my cousin cant get them 4 me i can wait 4 my subz... there literally wont be enough room 4 the stroller and i need time to make my custom moulded sub box :D gotta luv fibreglass :) fun az! itchy and nausiating but fun!
  3. my brother n groomzman saw that movie at least twice... nether time was i invited hmph! ill wait for it on dvd anyhoo :P hold up i should ask if its already out in US... parents are in LA.. no wait should b in vegas by now
  4. no difference in shape is there? if theres a wiring problem just go to a local autoelectrician. should take 20-30 minutes to install and it wouldnt cost more than 35-45 bucks for their time and you shouldnt have another problem coz it should have been done right the first time btw u got pics of these custom tailights?
  5. yea i guess when it comes to bodykits you gotta go the real deal.. especially since your messing round with the whole front of the car you gotta make sure thats secure?!
  6. what about those WEST COAST CUSTOM (orion) amps? are they worth the money? im HOPING my cousin in vegas can source me 1 (hopefully 2) cheap 8inch kicker solobaric subz...
  7. nice 1 fellaz... didnt consider just taking out the snorkel but yea... ill wait til thursday if im not so busy.. if i can tolerate the noise then ill go forth with the DIY intake. police arent going 2 pull me over for noisy intake, right?! i mean with that intake resonator out, they cant be certain that im breaking any regulations with the flexitube in place instead of the stock snorkel.. and since id still be using the stock filter & box it wouldnt be considered defect like a CAI podfilter yea?
  8. holy crap that lookz nice! hahaha if only i had a spare 800 ill get that carmate 1... but yea id b driving like my mun 2 make sure i dont hit anythin. thought it looked familiar?!? now i gotta look up how much that c-one front costs... anyone know already?
  9. so this thing makes the engine temp cooler ey? $80 ey? deliver in bulk to save $$$ ey? put me down for 1. it will fit an 03 conquest ey? :) does is this still where i pay? which bank?
  10. well since the bloke works for carmate he must be familiar with any imperfections or complaints by customers so im glad he didnt decide to bullsh!t me about how well it would fit. so yea.. carmate ? - decent guyz... less than perfect product.
  11. so this intake resonator acts sort of like a muffler on the exhaust? yea im kinda considering doing what Bitracer did on his intake, and for me.. that involves taking that white box out That's right. If you want to see how it goes without going to the trouble of removing the resonator (and then having to put it back in if you're not happy with it), simply remove your snorkle (It's easily done with the battery removed) and go for a drive. If you like it, then complete the Job to how Bitracer has done. If not then you have only removed the snorkle and not the resonator as well. sound like good advice... will do that when i got the time! thanx a lot IZZ-FE!
  12. i just called up carmate... cost 399.95 for the frontbar, another 400 for installation. 800buckz...?! the guy said to get it properly fitted on all sides at best youll get a 95% fit... in the end he actually recommended buying from toyota over getting a fibreglass kit... make of that what you will! i still like the f style design though... if only the carfairy could turn it into abs plastic
  13. thats the thing... most people here have got either one or the other! that f-style front looks good but i dont want problems only a couple years down the line. carmate has warrenty on kits fitted by them anyway... hmm well ill keep thinking bout it anyway.
  14. boots are made for walking, not for driving... especially in a corolla!?! if you got special footpedals fitted as well, thatll make things worse. i got these chrome dragon looking footpedals which are bigger than the stock pedalz and it took some getting used to.. kept pressing accelerator + break at the same time.. and i wasnt even wearing boots at the time. 2 make things easier why not wear thongz or slip-on shoes with no lacez... easy 2 put on / remove.. easy to drive in.. then when you get to work, lace up your boots?
  15. so this intake resonator acts sort of like a muffler on the exhaust? yea im kinda considering doing what Bitracer did on his intake, and for me.. that involves taking that white box out
  16. hmm.. i just want a bodykit thats different to sportivo kit or c-one?! it suckz most kits are fibreglass... ok which bodykits can be trusted then?
  17. im pretty interested in buying this "f style'' front bar... http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...B&p_id=9438 just wonderin if anyone has had this installed and whether theyre easy 2 insall? can i trust these blokes with my car?
  18. soundz like the dell laptopz batteriez problem... is this serious enough to contact toyota bout doing a recall or something? FREE NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERIES FOR ALL!!! WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!
  19. yea thats just extra paperwork that never made sense 2 me when i first heard that method of ''sorting it out". just as long as justice prevailz at the end of the day :P hope those bmw b!tchez are done giving you grief :) EDIT = if she sues you for damagez, counter sue her for pain and suffering :P muahahahaa
  20. sounds terrible jules.. so your corollaz still safe 2 drive?? after all the crap youve been through in your car id consider changing my route to work/home man! melbourne roadz seem pretty damn rough! but yea, glad youre alright! i actually witnessed a similar incident few years back... 1999-2000 i think? i was stopped on the right lane of an intersection next2 neeta city shops in fairfield when a brand spankin new (at the time) PATROL (lady driver) slammed into the 3cars in front which were waiting for the red traffic lights to turn green. pretty terrible scene.. but yea lucky i was further back in the right lane! lady in the patrol had her head down on the steeringwheel for like 30 secondz... then i saw her lift her head she was in tears, kinda in shock over after realising what she had just done. very unfortunate but yea at least the lady in the territory is takin full responsability! i was told in that sorta situation that the car behind pays for the car directly in front... that never sounded right 2 me.. but yea good that territory lady payin 4 all of it! do you still have to pay excess? guess not since shes claiming it all on her insurance ay? anyhoo.. so... r u strippin elcheapo for parts now ? *jjcru23r fliez over greygoose like vulcher over dead carcass* :)) hehe jkz
  21. if i was to do this calculation on the aussie post website, what postcode would i list as the "lodgement postcode"?
  22. thankx 4 the feedback! im currently in the planning stages of making a DIY intake much like Bitracer'z intake mod... his mod seems to have made some good improvements and for the money he spent doing it, i thought why not?!
  23. also looked at mine just 20 mins ago, mine is half way between the high and low markers... it hasnt changed level since i first noticed it which was a year ago! im sure its better to top up but i just havent gotten round to it. time 4 a service once i got the dosh.
  24. ok after a inspecting the stock air intake, ive noticed a white plastic container somehow connected to the black pipe connected to the stock air filter box. i checked the corolla mechanics manual and the diagrams in there dont even acknowledge the black pipe or the white box situated underneith the battery! page 14-3 of the toyota corolla repair manual ive edited the image due to attachment size restraints 4 this post, but as you would be able to see below the "air cleaner case", nothing in the diagram depicts the pipe or the mysterious white box that ive found in my conquest. does anyone know what this white plastic box/container is? due to the lower position of the white box in connection with the way the black plastic air intake pipe twists round, im guessing that the white box somehow collects water that somehow gets into the pipe before it could reach the air filter. chances are im wrong on this guess so does anyone know what the box is?
  25. yea good luck on your doorz mate... i woudlnt consider sportivo badgez unless i had the lift 2 go with it hahaha! im kinda considering vinyl on the doorz once i got money... but thats a long long way away.. after finishing my spoiler is the wingtipz, lower suspension & shocks, amp & kicker subz, carputer, rimz.....etc
