JJCRU23R

im seriously hoping its the grounding... i dont think i did enough scratching through the paint.

hell no im getting mine sent direct to my POBOX! then at least i can have the chance 2 yell at the post office manager if the **** gets lost! hahaha

im fully aware of that mate. but thats not what im talking about here though!?

the amp and sub are the only things i added to my stereo. everything else is stock. i messed around with the settings a few times already.. i was thinking it may be what you were talking about - if you put the volume too high then it sorta cuts out. but i dont always have my sub on heaps loud since usually i got my babyboy in the backseat, i keep the settings low most of the time. yea if its the amp itself thats the problem.. then what????? i bought it from cash converters and it was practically new - still in the box, some screws to fix it in place were missing but everything else was new.

is the prado leaf or coil spring? whatever you do - get rancho adjustable shocks! theres like 5 or 9 different settings from soft - hard (depending on which kit you get, if memory servez me correctly) and you can adjust fronts and rears separately. that way you can still get a somewhat stockish ride quality with the added height when you are driving round town... and adjust em to hard when you take it offroad. shocks, springs + installation wont be cheap... 1500+ for the shockz? not sure. but yea quality countz and you get what you pay 4. unless you got a mate who can do it for a case of beerz like i do :)) i had a 1985 toyota lancru23r bundera and lifted it (cant remember the height.. think 2inches?) by just replacing the stock springs with nissan patrol springs. ride quality is hard though if your sitting in the backseats, which is directly above the rear wheelz. that mod was a total freebee though.. me mate had a spare set laying round.

my kicker amp has gone tempremental... sometimes it decides to work, other times, when i turn the ignition, i see the green light on the amp turn red, then it turns off completely. on the odd occasion that it does work, its completely normal, sound quality of my kicker solobaric is great and sounds as if absolutely NOTHING is wrong otherwise. just a few days b4 i left australia, its pretty much always not working. all the fuses on the amp and in the red positive cable from the battery are FINE. ive always checked them and neither of them have busted. so im putting it down to the wiring kit - i ripped the kit off my old landcru23r and transplanted it into my corolla. that was back in august -september... ok - so if you were able to pinpoint the problem, which wire would you suspect? i originally thought it was the "remote" wire. i already went to JB hifi in november and replaced the old wire with a new one. (i also did that when i had the same problem in my cru23r and that did fix the problem at the time) since that did fix the problem for a while... the problem has since returned and has gotten worse. so what you you peoplez think?! replace the red wire? or the brown wire? positive or earth? or do i replace the whole wiring kit with a new one? getting just 1 new length of wire from JB would be a whole lot cheaper. $4-5 per metre if memory serves correctly?? on the other hand i did see some kicker wiring kits that look pretty good. maybe i should just keep it all kicker? i would only really consider getting the kicker wiring kit if i had another amp for component speakers (might soon be getting punch components from US soon if my brother doesnt mess up the order hehe) so yea for now (or when i get back to australia) i just want the cheapest option. but yea just wanna know if anyone else has experienced any issues with their amps (DIY'erz im looking your direction 4 guidance). thanks. jase

yea i was suprised how heavy my lil kicker weighed as well. i built my custom fibreglass box without really considering weight distribution.... seems im going to have to bolt it down somehow to keep it from tipping over when i make a hard right. its strange- you can order the aluminium grille for the 8inch solobaric in australia but you cant buy the actual sub?!?

HEY GUYS - so far i havent had much luck finding decent parts for the rolla yet... i DID come across the silver door handle covers... but they were for the toyota "innova", kinda a 4wd/van looking thing... but dont think it has the 4WD. anyway i would have bought that since it woulda been like $12 bucks except you can only open the front drivers side door with a key... on the innova you can open both front doors with a key. this would be a problem coz if i was to put the silver doorhandles on the front passenger side... it just wont look right! i would have asked the shop to order them in but that bloody shoppingmall is 2-3 something hours away from where im at now... and i aint gonna take another trip down there! got carsick with the suspension and the bad roads and the windy mountaINZ and the lack of a speedlimit and the endless near miss collisions weve had with kids, motorcyclez, trucks, dogs, cocks (chickens), other crazy driverz... and the frikken honking! i hate the cars carhorn its full agressive!!! did i mention its frikken hot up here?!!?! and the aircon isnt doing its job 50% of the time and when it is its not even that cold... 4 those that know the philippinez im in mindanao right now... currently residing in butuan city but took a road trip yesterday to cagayan de oro... checked out a mall there but 4got the name.. started with a T...?! anyhoo in Butuan im sure theres a few places where i can get custom altis leather seat covers. as4 the weathersheilds... the nongenuine brands seem to cost as much as it does down in sydney so i might just get them in sydney.

Came across a few of these already.. including a billboard in manila that i tried to take a picture of but didnt take the shot in time.. even in manila traffic! ugh! BEHOLD THE ISUZU CROSSWIND SPORTIVO! http://www.isuzuphil.com/vehicles/crosswind/specs.htm

*BumP*

yes of course i wash my hands - but its more likely to be your germs thats left on the tap handle when its my turn to wash up! further more for those who sometimes DONT wash after they go 2 the dunny... eww people! on a side note... this thing has been bugging me ever since i was like 7... how the hell do you manage to properly wipe your ***** with only 4 squares of toilet paper?!?? the little fat kid from hey dad did it in the sorbent commercial... anyone remember that commercial??! scrunching that much paper will surely leave you with brown fingers so he must have been folding?!?! thats another thing i wanna ask - how many squares is sufficient for you??

whats up with folding anyway? is it to save paper? just being politically correct if you ask me... or maybe your just being anal bout it... MUAHAHAHA SCRUNCHING FTFKN'W!

Idont understand why you gotta be nice and neat when it comes to folding your paperz n wiping your A5s... UGH! on mythbusters they compared the residual bacteria left on your hand through folding VS scrunching with different amounts of paper each time. EVERY test resulted in SCRUNCHING to have lesser germz and stuff compaered to folding. they put it down to the distance between the hand and the anus hahahaha! so sucked in folders you think your clean but your not! SCRUNCH FTW! its just like folding, but with extended surface area so that scrunching provides better grip and control, PLUS a bufferzone to prevent fingers penetrating the paper...

i heard the 2way speakers compared to those 3way composhiite PUNCH speakers for my self at the audiostore in merrylands. the guy wazs trying to lead me to the 2way speakers, saying the punch was overpriced... but regardless of price... the PUNCH'S SIMPLY SOUNDED BETTER. just my opinion.. but at the time i went threre, i did little NO homework on reseasrching mids/tweeters and simply just went by ear. 3way components sounded FARKNSCHWEET!

headlights are different to aussie prefacelifts?! also dfifferent to post facelifts?! pleash forbigve my spellimg mistakes as ive had 1 tioo many red horses. MY UNCLES JEEP BROKE DOWN! FRIKKEN STAINLESS STEEL PEICE OF CRAPO THE INTAKE FILTER HAS LUNG CANCER 1 OF THE CABLES CONNECTED TO THE SPARKPLUGZ WAS D/C RADIATOR WAS WET... BUT FELT NO WATER ANYWHERE NEAR THE RADIATOTR CAP SO IM GUESSING IT WAS DRY... had 2 push start the muithafcuiker earlier tonighty... i guess that wasnt a good sign... but the live band and thde coold drinks were nice! i think ill give my relos a favour and put a k'n'n filter in the bugger.. new battery and radiator collant.. probebly oil change as well.. argh! ok gonna drink more later on hahahahaha the holidayz just begun12!

i was gonnna get those 3wayz... but i really wanted component speakerz that got 2 tweeterz you can position either on the speaker or separately... hopefully my brother can get it while hes in the US... $129US free delivery but thats in the USA only (CHECK THE CARDOMAIN store website). works out to roughly $165aussie! nice buy andrew! if i didnt already have a sub i would have probebly gone for the deal you got... nice score dude! jase

Thats the fitted leather seat covers ay???? WOOHOO ima check that out when i get the chance.. lowered shocks? you think? im expecting to pay $1000+ for decent shocks... i got springs waiting for me down in melbourne... gotta pay for that in full and get it delivered to sydney. Fark yea im supposed to go to some "bar" tonight... no idea what my brotherz in law have got in store for me but they joking they gonna take me to somestripbar and prosty hangout... eeeek...

exactly where on the hatch lid are you planning on placing the spoiler? above the window or just below the window, above the tail lights? itll be nice to see a corolla with a different kinda spoiler... ive had a stock spoiler i still havent completely installed for over a year now... im still having visions of painting it a colour other than silver... *my cars silver* also curious to see if i could somehow install solar panels on the spoiler ALA pimp my ride did in one of their episodes which was a pretty sweet idea...

is it gonna take that long to put it back together? hahha jk
