  1. using my computer game experience, if you are doing speed over 200km/h, it is useful. For FF car, spoiler are useless, I use it for RWD cars. It is the fine tuning of oversteer or understeer. I almost don touch the spoiler unless I have set the anti-roll bar and suspension. They are more for show.. For forumula cars, huge difference, a lot of straight line speed is lost if too much
  2. that DIY rear badge is gorgeous. I think you can do the same for your antenna !! and your side mirror, and your pillar between the front and rear windows
  3. Impressive List Can you have some pictures for the engine? Is your intake SRI? Are you planning to put your car in track (Winton)? If so, please share some experience about it... Pedders Rear Damping Extensions? What is it? Why do you want to modify your cat convertor if you have not done the cat back?
  4. Just checked and asked ebay UK, they said don't post to Australia.
  5. how much,and it can fit my facelift ascent, right? Please confirm, and I will buy, and tell me how to buy from toyota NZ
  6. You must have a long arm. I don't like the central console is not extendable in Australia Corolla.. My arm just marginally can rest on it when changing gear
  7. finally, where are your mod list
  8. Although I own a Corolla, but I am a fan of Civic Type R (except FN2) If Honda brings in FD2 instead of FN2, and lower the price a bit, I would have bought it.. I don't want to buy an old car for daily driving.. Honda charges $40K for a torsion beam rear suspension in FN2, WTF !!! Even a sedan has double wishbone What future mods do you want? Are you going to track? Your car has huge potential. The K series engine is the state of the art
  9. Do you need to take the front bumper off for the grill. and the badge? Do you paint it yourself? I am thinking of doing mine
  10. oh my god, u got the Modellista front grill...Jealous. Price is the thing that set me away Second, is your reverse camera hard to install, I am so lazy to put my one on...have to do soldering.. My soldering skills are very bad... If you are in NSW, definitely want to see your hot car
  11. big surprise on the beach, very sexy Aurion on the beach though. I am bit worried the sand would ruin your sexy car
  12. where did you get the TRD cap, i want to get as well, but I want the cap coming out a bit because the front wheel drive shaft is coming out, so flat wheel cap cannot be installed.. Also, love your carbon fibre badge... Are you a designer? you got talent in designing stuff
  13. I remember when I was 11 years old and in Hong Kong, this Corolla Levin impress me a lot. I start to think the word LEVIN actually originated from this car, and I do always think the LEVIN model actually has more power. However, now I think Toyota Australia has miused the word LEVIN. I really like this corolla, and why I cannot see this car in Australia? it is equipped with 4AGE engine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Hzm6VR40Q
  14. Are you refering to the stuff below the spring at the rear? or you refer to the plastic bushes above and below the spring? check with peddars to see if they sell the rings. For the height adjustment, I always suggest you adjust the shock height rather than the spring height..
  15. Just to let you know, if you broke the clip, Toyota charge you $2 per clip, you better go to ebay to buy the spare clips. The clips are so fragile..
  16. I am still learning how to avoid bump and pot holes especially at night times My coilover is on softest setting at street driving lots more roads in sydney are worse than parramatta road and I hate road with stones, especially after pouring rain, I got few marks already created by those stones
  17. how much for ultratune for the CEL diagnosis? That report is very responsible.. For your O2 sensor, they do need to change after certain kilometers for every car no matter what brand and it did trigger a CEL, so it is normal I have to tell you one story about Toyota for checking the spare tyre, most people did not check it. My friend has deliberately took out the spare and took the car to service, and the report comes with spare tyre being checked !!! My friend called up and complain straight away, and the manager asked my friend to bring the car back. WTF !!! For toyota, you have to think the other way round, how much salary did the mechanic get paid per hour? Do you think they will take care of you..They got loads of customers, they don't mind losing one... Also, last time I brought the car to Bob Janes T Mart for a free inspection, I was watching them far away.. One of the item is to check the wheel alignment, they did not do it. Another item is to check the battery, they did not do it.. I won't bring my car to them next time.. I always go to private mechanic, if they do not do a good service, you won't find them next time..and they care about you. Of coze, you have to deal with the owner... It has come to my conclusion that cutting corners are common for mechanics. Bit hard to trust mechanics these days
  18. 1. Juvenile 2. Seby123 3. Clifton (maybe) 4. cruzer 5. flipsta24 6. mou55a 7. Hiro (maybe) ? 8. master.Cuong 9. BG Pete ~ 10. 2times 11. ZR6XY 12. GTfour_turbo90 13. Ben Yip (maybe) ?
  19. Yes, I look at it for 1 second and think it is a golf... I think it is a photoshop make up silver front grill not bad. Also, from the language of the sign, it is from Japan. Why Toyota badge then? It cannot be a Chinese place because Chinese does not have Auris. John, what does that number place said? (That sign means exit, for Japanese and Chinese, they share the same character set)
  20. what do u mean by "better", which aspect? If you want power=>falcon If you want cheap and reliability=>Aurion If you want luxury=>Accord I like the engine of Accord, with 2.4, pumps up like 140kw..That is amazing. And the US Civic Type Si uses similar engine with little more power Look at Camry, only 122kw. Honda always make better engine than Toyota
  21. Long trip without snacks is a toture. After the girls are feed with food, they will go asleep You have to educate the girls, and only allow certain food... and give them a rubbish bag and provide them with tissue paper..and never allow them to smoke I normally go to petrol station to pay $2 to vacumn the car afterwards I always eat in the car, but I only buy the food when it won't make the place dirty. Certain biscuits will make places dirty while some do not I rather have some girls on my car than driving alone. One guy, 3 girls should be something your proud of
  22. STCC car Also other cars are here http://www.flickriver.com/photos/lucre101/tags/stcc/ I was inspired by the computer game STCC2, it got Corolla TSport on it, will buy it soon to try out, so I did a internet search about STCC and found the above photos
  23. awesome work,I will assume your car is quiet now in normal driving
  24. Just checked inbox and SD confirms that DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 can be used in the car. But DOT 5 cannot. Moh flushed the system out first though and change of brake fluid was done with the install of the new brake lines. how to check? I would like to check mine too Also, more info on brake fluid http://www.synlube.com/brake.htm
