  1. congratulations to this stage...
  2. I finally found out why. I think it is useful to you as well.. As you know, my left part of the car has been resprayed due to my accident in Winton last year (just scratches) I checked my car underneath, below the left front door and left rear door position. 4 botls are missing underneath (you have to jack the car up to see), water just entered via the holes during raining (because the wheels splashed the water into the holes), and then it comes out at the trunk.. Another evidence when I jack the car up at the front to a very high position, water just leaked from the trunk. I also remove the whole carpet at the backseat, it is soaked with water My panel beater just forgot to put back the bolts when he took the "left underneath panel" to repsray.. I just don't like cutting corners jobs
  3. change your front grill, it does not match the rest of your car.. everything looks great
  4. My trunck is leaking water after raining. Please look at the pictures below. Reasons: 1. Someone has crashed to me at the back a long time ago 2. Tracking has bent the chasis a bit Any suggestions? I am going to buy silicon sealant to see
  5. Somewhere in eastwood NSW, I don't know how this corolla end up like this,
  6. waiting for you to crack new times.......we need more people to crack Winton and Trung, you looks so happy inside !!!!
  7. who cares about JDM or not... Corolla is a good car and "deceptive". Sorry to show off, but I have given many WTF to people on the track I have watched that video before as well... However, Honda's EG is crazy
  8. Please use some software to adjust the contrast the video (if possible) youtube got a contrasting thing.. I know it is because of the new camera, but try !!! Your car is fast, what is your maximum straight line speed in Winton, mine is just over 150 on the speedometer just before the S bend.. Good to see you
  9. I think this suits you more, especially with your current rims
  10. that is NOT my driving, that is John Boston (famous professional driver) driving.. but my driving is not bad and not far away from him, and I overtook a number of people as well The new layout is more fun, the old one is too easy to drive, the worse thing in Eastern creek is they got patches every where on the track, so that's why people spin off (Look at 07:00 and you know what I mean). The camber of the track makes the car more prone to oversteer as well, which is not good for the wet... The track got at least 3 different tarmac, the spun you saw in 07:00 just illustrate how grip level changes.. Absolutely no lift off oversteering, keep the throttle. Brake is tricky, with ABS kicking in in downhill, and trial braking in the wet is difficult I learn a lot in the wet and understand how the car handles now, I build up a lot more confidence now in the wet. Stability control is very useful for me to find the right limit
  11. Went to eastern creek today. The weather was wet, and eastern creek got the new layout. My car handles perfectly on the wet, and I can push my car in the wet quite well. I overtake a lot of cars today. I drive with stability control on, it really helps to learn the track, ABS kicks in in few corners due to slippery condition.. My car never spun out of the track... I love raining conditions now On the full straight, I am driving 170km/h (on the speedometer), with around 130km/h on turn 1 Last year, I drove with eastern creek on the wet and my skills are not up to challenge, after doing a lot of research and playing a lot of raining conditions in my Codemaster F12011, my skill has significantly improved Below is how John Boston drove my car around eastern creek new layout, even he spun off at first, he was quite aggressive on the wet.. Unfortunately, the new layout of eastern creek's track day is significantly more expensive, with $340 for only 4 sessions, compared to $330 for 6 sessions, John Boston is no longer teaching eastern creek...I am not going there anymore for the time being.. http://youtu.be/ND1zC_7T6II
  12. you might as welll share how to do it in more detail... I am so lazy to do it... as you mentioned, such a pain...
  13. why don't you consider one exhaust on one side, so you got left and right... because of your agressive rims and agressive rear wing, dual exhaust on one side is not good enough
  14. I know you too well, Mr teaser
  15. 95 and 98 got cleansing agent.. 91 with ethanol is not completely burn, residue will remain in engine in the long run I will say use 95.. However, you can buy those cleansing agent for 10-20 bucks per bottle in supercheap
  16. Went to Winton along with other members here. Winton is not my home track, so I am sort of challenging someone else land... This is my second time in Winton. Did a lot of low 1:48, I don't think I have too much room to improve.. Expecting the sportivo can do 1:45, I am not bad at all !!!!!!!!!!! Trial braking is really a key here to good lap times. Suspension balance as well.. Heel and toe must be used with trial braking, otherwise, the car will be unsettled Car suspension is so good, no lift off oversteering at all in the long sweeper Only thing is the rev limiter, if you watch the video, before the long sweeper, the rev limiter is at its limit of 3rd gear, however, not useful to change to 4th gear, I also experience 2nd rev limiter problem in the hairpins.... If I could change the gear ratio, that would be good all the time here http://www.natsoft.c.../05/2012.WIN.S2 I am going to Eastern creek in few days time, John Boston will be there
  17. aiya, I am on the second day, I did not see you !!! amazing time for first trial, any secret?
  18. Last episode, no gain in just changing the POD filter This episode, no gain in CAI, what a shock, not sure if it is because it is a turbo car
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk3vGY7-og8&sns=fb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpPrKrkXqXM&feature=relmfu 0-100, 6.8 seconds, use your stop watch to count
