  3. wait... basically what u are asking is if you can connect your stock stereo to your amp without using the RCAs? if so, i can help with this
  4. Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load! wait til the end
  5. wierd al yankovic - trapped in the drive-thru
  6. if you wanna keep it simple, put all the settings down to a minimum, or get a 4 channel amp. you wouldnt/shouldnt set your amp to give the speakers the maximum they can handle! but if you gonna try with 2 channel amp, im guessing youre gonna be twisting the 2 fronts and the 2 rears to fit them into the 2 channels. 1 channel = fronts, 1 channel = rears. if you want it considerably loud... set the fronts to 180w on the amp (just to be safe..dont want to accidentally push more than 200w for the fronts), then play around with the settings of the rears to check which setting suits you best. The rear speakers can handle more than what your amp can push out, so play round with the rear 2nd channel to see which setting best matches your fronts.
  7. i usually go 2 woolies petrol coz mum gives me the coupons.. the main difference seems to be that the higher octane unleaded isnt available at woolies. but all the other petrols id expect them to be exactly the same. if woolies stock caltex petrol, then other caltex stations should logically use the same trucks to deliver their fuel...?
  8. personally would love to see one of those job applications...
  9. front reminds me of stewy playing darth vader
  10. i was watching a program on abc or sbs about bhuddism long while ago.. is it accurate to say they dont really believe in a heaven/hell because theyre not sure if it really exists?
  11. interesting about the window winders on the 05 stivo.. in theory, would these buttons work if you took them out of the stivo and installed em into a prefacelift conquest by any chance? if so, might take a short trip to the wreckers
  12. one sweet day ill end up trading up my conquest for a sportivo, but id still choose the 03-04 over the 05, simply because id have more options with the front end. if the grille wasnt joint to the front bar then i wouldnt mind going for the 05... but thats all just cosmetics! the guts in both are gonna be the same as many have mentioned before, so either way, i say youd be blessed to own either one.
  13. hey all, just for future reference, which services are considered the major ones? 80,000kms i would guess that this is major milestone on a car that thats not considered old, but no longer new. but what about earlier services.. which ones are considered major? example: 50,000km? - the list of things to be serviced looks a lot longer than the service before it. can you do this via DIY?
  14. its kinda wierd how they sometimes censor people saying G.od on tv. who is it offensive to? people who dont believe? or is it more a case of stopping people from using His name in vein? what about other words such as Allah or Yahweh? <---- neither of these are ****'d out.
  15. just like to make a quick update regarding these missed calls. i recieved a call this afternoon from a number starting that looked very similar to the numbers that was calling me and hanging up. i picked up the phone and suprisingly, someone was actually talking to me! turned out to be the CANCER COUNCIL asking me to start giving em donations again (i used to give them $25/month tax deductable direct debit). i said no, and explained why which was fair enough for them... and then i asked the woman straight up - "i have been recieving strange phone calls in the past few weeks where someone calls me up, i pick up, the person on the other end HANGS UP. I call back and end up with an answering machine message telling me a charity is going to call me at a later time". WERE THESE CALLS FROM THE CANCER COUNCIL?" she apologised straight away! admitting that something in the call centre was malfunctioning and that they have recieved several complaints regarding this issue. i went and told her "i appreciate what you guys do, which is why i was willing to support you guys in the past, but I am unable to do it at this point in time. I have one favour to ask - can you please take my number off your call list?!" she said "YES I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU". i said thankyou very much and hung up. happy endings! (HOPEFULLY).
  16. no i didnt want to go that far. yelling at her face while shes sitting in the drivers seat was more like what i was about to do. stupid i shoulda taken the number down rather than take a closer look at the dent. btw - that video was funny az!
  17. ive found this site with some interesting info about dent repairs, the dry ice method, heat method... removing car dents on a budget this post i found interesting: by shrek-unit at 12:06 PM on 04/24/07 Reply by Email * I do PDR - paintless dent repair, specifially hail damage repair. the dry ice and compressed air work on shallow large dents. not sharp dents or dents on body lines or the hail stone dents all over the top of your vehicles. and when you do hear that lovely 'POP' sound, the dent only looks better, its not 100% flat. but if you have an 85 tercel, better is probly good enough. imagine this, you throw a rock into a puddle and you see the shock waves ripple from the center of the impact, out, right? well, metal does the same thing, except that 'shock wave' stays, and thats what keeps big dents, a dent. basically, when the metal is impacted the shcock/stress has to go somewhere. think of an old oil can. by squeeing or pushing the bottom of the can, oil squirts out. even though you hear it 'popping', the can always holds its shape. what you are pushing on is that 'shock wave'. its what we in the PDR field call "stretched metal". by rapidly changing the temperature, as these methonds are doing, the 'shock wave' is what you are treating, not the dent. HEAT - applying heat expands the metal and loosens a little bit of 'stress' from the dent. COLD- by quickly applying extreme cold will cause rapid contraction of the metal. a 'reverse ripple' effect from the stone throwing analogy above. you are basically making the dent bigger and softer when you heat it up. then when you freeze it, you are shrinking it rapidly, causing the dent to buldge, and 'pop' out. while hoping that you didnt ruin the factory finish... heres some example of my work and what PDR can do that these other silly methods cant. http://picasaweb.google.com/jessejungle/BeforeAndAfter
  18. have you tried the wreckers? there are a few around that specialise in toyotas. thats interesting.. what the hell are you meant to do with missing bodyparts like this
  19. i dont see it as a "problem". just use it at the right place and time. you wouldnt talk to your mother the way you talk to your mates (if you respect your mother). similar rules apply when it comes to regular english and kewl txt language in here.
  20. fair enough. but dont blame me for crazy kids talking crazy language up in here lol!
  21. Im not getting paid to make posts in tocau so bugger it! lol! As long as you can read it! When it comes to high school teaching, at my uni, you would have had to complete an undergraduate course in a relevent field (using myself as an example - Bachelor of Fine Arts) in order to enter postgraduate Bachelor of Teaching (secondary) - visual arts. now its called Master of Education for some unknown reason they changed it the year after I began the course. Sucks!! "Master" sounds much better than "bachelor".. essentially there is not much difference between the two courses. Oh yea the other option is to do a double degree? 6 subjects instead of the standard fulltime load of 4 subjects per semester, completed after 4 years. In other words, 2 teaching subjects on top of 4 undergrad subjects every semester. Thats fine if you arent attached and dont need to worry bout working. But yea.. provided youve completed your course (regardless of your actual grades for your subjects), any graduate could possibly enter postgraduate teaching. Thats where it gets kind of interesting. 1 year or 1 1/2 years of full time study to become a teacher, where we were mainly taught how to deal with student behaviours, a big range of student abilities and designing units of work. But the thing you guys are talking about relates to 1 subject I had called "literacy for learning"... out of 12 subjects, we really only concentrated on the in's and out's of literacy in just 1 subject. Is that enough?
  22. is that the c-one grille? or is it a copy
  23. True, high school teachers have a responsability to make sure that teaching literacy and numeracy is necessary in ALL subjects. And its true that I do consider it my moral/personal and professional obligation to teach the students to improve handwriting/grammar/spelling. In visual arts for example, you can look at angles in tessellations or you can ask students to measure the necessary amount of canvas needed to stretch over a wooden frame measuring 40x40cm to inject some maths into the lesson, or I can intentionally spell a few words incorrectly or use the wrong grammar within a paragraph and get the students to find those words, but those arent really considered "cures" for bad handwriting/grammar. But the fact of the matter is that in high school, you only get 60-80 minutes with students who have 4-6 classes in any given day. So, its not likely that any 2 high school teachers are going to teach with the same style, so its not possible for all high school teachers to have the knowledge/ability to consistantly preach grammar/spelling/handwriting skills that the kids need. How am I supposed to effectively teach my subject area if I stop everything and tell the kids "today we are going to practice writing the letter e"?! Compare that to primary teachers who get to stay with the same group of students ALL day. It also goes without saying that they get the first opportunity to teach these kids how to do all that stuff correctly! AND they would be able to consistantly monitor the students writing across all subjects coz they would know their students all that much more. So yea.. I dont necessarily agree with what that teacher told me as a student teacher, but basic handwriting/grammar/spelling should be better dealt with before a kid enters high school.
