JJCRU23R

My mate bought his mr2 spyder back in feb, just a couple months back. When he bought it, he paid for 12 months 3rd party insurance. His rego is due last week of may. Does he need to buy another 3rd party insurance now before his rego is due or can he show the nsw rta the existing policy, which will expire 2 months earlier than the 2010 rego? Not sure if this makes sense but my mate shouldn't have to pay yet another 6-800 bucks on insurance he paid for only 2-3 months ago.

DID ANYONE WATCH THE FIGHT???? HATTON GOT KTFO! LONG LIVE MANNY PACQUIAO!

gday, just curious what does your grille look like? got allex on the back with the chrome bit on the hatch door.. im thinking the grill will be somewhat different to the runx then.

Pacman < Hitman I'll be cheering once hattons his face meets the mat LOL .. Forget bout weight difference & pacman being smaller. Won't be suprised if this fight is stopped cos of some sort of technicality, I'm looking at either cuts wrestling or low blows getting in the way. But manny on a good day is gonna be impossible for hatton to beat

when are the 300 going to the drive in? well go on the other night then... 18th? anyone else still planning on going???

some people (including the previous owner of my frontbar) have cut their frontbar around the factory reinforcement so it does not have to be removed. in my particular bar, (prefacelift c-one carmate version), only an inch.. possibly 2 inch square peices were cut out at the tops of the mesh holes. its a barely noticable modification unless you are really trying to find it. when i do end up getting it installed, id paint that reinforcement black so you cant see it through the mesh. as a common sense kinda idea.. i wouldnt sacrifice safety for the sake of looks when it came to my car. but yea... if you choose not to go with the option ive pretty much inherited from the previous owner of my front bar... is your idea fabricating a "custom bolt in bar" entirely legal or just as safe? jase

theyve previously done this with mayweather vs de la hoya and pacquiao vs de la hoya... 9.30pm tonight, the first of 3 episodes of Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton 24/7 HBO specials leading up to the big fight in las vegas on May 2 (May 3 im assuming - australia time). if you are unfamiliar with 24/7... its basically a documentary series which focuses on both boxers from all angles - everything from the trainers, sparring, family, previous fights, the fans and the press! if youre a big fan of boxing...dont miss it!!!

just curious, did you ever seriously consider adding lift (2zz) to your corolla, since youre going to have to take out your 1zz anyway? how much more would it cost? money + time..?

kinda hard to do that when im thinking of getting it off ebay.. :P

im envious at how well your carmate frontbar fits... mine is still sitting in the garage after 2 years coz it needs a lot of work to fit. cars looking good overall! keep it up!

http://www.newtoyotaparts.com/index.php helped my mate order a couple things from here for his mr2 spyder. although most of the corolla stuff might not fit our aussie corollas, theyve got heaps of other toyota parts on offer.

was it difficult taking them off? been thinking about repainting my calipers after i painted them red.

would be nice to see a pic of the rims...

doesnt sound bad coming from a guy who owns one... but would you recommend it to others who were thinking bout buying it?

check this... its an electric wrench that plugs into the cigarette lighter. EBAY LINK HERE. anyone used these before? i think hot4s was offering these free with a 12 month perscription. jase.

sounds like a rare event to see so many done up cars in a drive in cinema... you think its cool to take pics of the occasion? more importantly...would there be a possability of club rivalry/friction on such an occasion? i know TOCAU members seems pretty harmless, but ive got absolutely no knowledge of any other car club and have flashbacks of "hoons" found on today tonight..

YEP.. western sydney.. minchinbury... just south of mt.druitt.

that brings up another pointless question but it does make me curious... can a 1zz benefit by upgradting to a 2zz 6 speed transmission?

kinda... i did say "blingy"... eh.

ebay link just came across this on ebay... looks pretty clean... TEIN badging suggests something going on in the suspension... chrome blingy rims, painted calipers and the round bit where the rims mate with the car (drum?), kit possibly carmate but it does look like a decent fit, TRD knob, altezza tail lights, aftermarket speakers mounted on pods from the looks of it?! (for that alone, i want to get a closer look) and what i found interesting was the exhausts (yes that was plural... 2 exhast tips) coming out of the rear bar. overall looks pretty decent but what intrigues me is that this car is for sale not far from home... but ive never seen it driven by anyone in my area, nor have i seen pics of this particular vehicle on TOCAU. i understand not every mod/rice nut corolla owner would be an active member, but im just curious if anyone knows any more about this car, coz it was well taken care of by the looks of it. happy easter guys n girls. jase

although it sounds petty.. i cant argue with the principal behind the defect. if something is considered unsafe or "illegal", we should at least get a warning to get whatever the problem is fixed. i cant agree with an instant fine unless you were acting like an idiot on the road. on the other hand, mods are never done by accident and ignorance shouldnt be used as an excuse if you didnt know it was illegal. (by no means am i suggesting you are ignorant and1.. im speaking in general.) basically.. in the end you just gotta respect the law. id at least shave away the section that covers the beam.. otherwise remove them all together.

yea i read somewhere if the eyelids block the beam of your lights in any way then you are decreasing the amount of light being shon out of your headlights... which is supposedly unsafe... (thats how its been explained to me anyway). is there any way to prove your eyelids dont block your low/high beams? unsure coz im only looking at the pic you posted, but it does look as though they do block your lights slightly.

thats funny... i was asked by like 3 different nurses asking if i was in pain (suggesting they would give me pain killers if i needed).. on a scale of 1 to 10 my pain was pretty much a 2 and declining as the hours passed by. anyhow hows your foot now? hope youre ok.

aaah the whole thing went stupid - around 10.15.. thought i was going to finally go home after the doctor came back with the blood test results telling me i have no infection, therefore no need for antibiotics. furthermore my throat was red but not 'too' bad according to the doctor. all she suggested was panadol if i felt some pain/irritation and gargling salt water.. she was about to write up the papers to discharge me but seconds after she left my room, she got called in for a real emergancy where the poor guy was critical and needed to be resusitated (i cant spell that word correctly)... so yea instead of leaving round 10.20.. i didnt see the doctor again until 11.59 when she burst in apologising for the delay. all up 6 hours in hospital for a "sore throat".. NIL BY MOUTH which means no food or drink throughout the whole duration of my time in that hospital bed. it doesnt explain why the little thing in the back of my throat that looks like a speedball punching bag was laying flat on my tongue. dad things if i was snoring pretty heavy.. the lil speedbag is vibrating all over the joint which blocks my air passage, which explains why it was so swollen. i asked my wife and yea she said i was snoring pretty heavy.. lol! stupid stupid me. if you want to see a doctor before 9am, dont go to the hospital! just wait for your regular GP to open up at 9am and itll save you a lot of trouble.. unless youve got a real infection.. or a real emergancy.

G'day, got me wifes iPhone ATM... Woke up with pretty nasty throat infection round 5am. Thought I had some really sticky flegm at the back of my throat and I was tryin to cough, spit it out or scrape it out with my finger. Turned out my tonsils had swollen to the point it looked like it's laying down on the back of my tongue. Two of my students told me they had something similar on thursday, and since I'm 100% sure I didn't lock lips with either of them I must have caught it just by breathing the same air! Just hope y'all be careful n keep the windows open coz you don't want to catch this off someone else. Had blood tested and blood pressure taken twice but still no doctor since I arrived 6am
