  1. Ill get some proper photos on weekend its to dark when I get home.

    Mikka havnt seen pics of your kappas yet. Bit slack since you took photos last weekend jks.

    Tried to set up a 'Members Ride' page and was denied :angry:

    Here are some links to the photos that I'm not authorised to post...

    Dont think the photos show the true magnificence of the Kappa's in the flesh though, there's something more substantial about them in 3D rather than 2D, the subtle curve of the struts gets lost in photos.

    Looks great Mate, I agree with you on the photos not giving the kappas justice. When i was looking at mine i saw the photos on differnt cars and i thuoght there alright few of the guys at work told me there crap but when i picked them up and opened the box and saw them in the flesh i was stunned at the quality of them. Any plans for suspension?

    The suspension is the obvious place to go next but its a family car so I think I'll just leave it as-is. Looks wise it could definitely do with a 30mm drop but I've heard varying reports on spring changes and ride quality and I can't really justify the $1500 for coilovers...yet :lol:

    Haha yes mines meant to be a family car aswell. I was originally getting the pedders coilovers but the other half heard the price and i never heard the end of it so i just got the pedders sports rider springs. had it lowered on stock wheels not really any difference little bit firmer now with the 18's little bit rougher but i dont consider it bad and rough as guts.

  2. I think the trd exhaust Daryl posted would be a better choice. Ive sourced one for $600 usd plus say $200 usd postage. But will be alittle while away though have a few other things to commit to this month.

    yeh, i agree, ive been spending the last few weeks searching a place in the us that can ship it to the aus. I kinda gave up........

    do you mind telling me where/whom you got it off?

    especially for that price.... i could only find it for $790 US.

    Its not through a company a guy that works for toyota over there he gets it pays for it himself then you pay him he's reliable. Friend of mine has used him a few times no problems.

  4. I hear jetstar haev cheap flights maybe you should get one to Brisbane and take photos for me. Ive been told they are on special $350 a pop normal price was around $480 - $500 i think. yes i consider them quite compared to the lower range pirellis.

    When i was reading that i was like what...flights to Brisbane are $350! What the? Haha. And then i was asking myself...so how much were the tyres. haha.

    Then i read it again.

    Good to hear they are quiet.

    I'll wait for the pictures.

    Just for you mate i stopped playing Bad Company 2 and went outside to take some photos didn't bother washing car as it looked like its been going to rain all day well that was my excuse anyway :P

  8. Was talking to someone from Bob Jane today and he recommended yokohama ADVAN Sport V103 which is he is going to order tomorrow morning but i just realised the load rating is 91 not 93 fook.

    Got a set of these sitting in the shed...in 245/35/R20 one thing i found with these tyres is they wear fast but other than that they are excellent and all the ratings should be above whats required.

    there are a bloody pricey tyre,i hope there doing some sort of good deal for you.

    i just checked the retail price of ADVAN 103 sports 245/35/R20 and they are still between $600-$700 each,i paid around $540ea just over a year ago. :blink:

    Cheers
