  1. http://www.ebay.com....=item53ec98ba7f http://www.toyota-te...%20001925-0.pdf DIY job, not easy installation

  3. According to my research, this cleaner actually works.. I will order from US and see This cleaner is to clean the carbon deposit in the engine
  4. location? romantic place as well, i need to drive there !!
  5. very similar to this, a chevrolet wheel holden, before the HSV making Holden now, 20-30 years ago, there was another company to replace HSV (I forgot the name), and here it comes with Chevrolet wheels
  6. I love the big red thing behind !! Have you managed to install the header? and any comments on it?
  7. how do you do the black top, looks really good
  8. I use KU31 and it is bad.. You are using for the street, not for track, so you don't need super expensive price.. I am using RE002 and quite good for the street and good pricing !!! Sydney roads are full of police anyways, unless you live in the country, you cannot play with the tyres
  9. I have asked the pro (John Boston) same question. He said it will be the same (for Wakefield Park). The other pro that I asked also mentioned the same thing. Let me know if you come because I will take the front seat out normally
  10. New PB posted 1:14.8 after John Boston coaching. This PB just made myself unbelivable On the way to go there is very foggy, temperature is 7, however 25 in the noon, what a big difference Also met this company http://www.sportscar...k-days?Itemid3= , $800 for a LP550 Lamborghini for 7 laps !! WIll go to Winton with EXE Crew on May 20.. After spending countless hours in Wakefield, it is time to put what I learn into Winton.. The biggest and useful thing I learn in Wakefield park is Brake to turn. Use your brake to turn. However, the corners in Winton are very "circular", meaning that you have to be patient with throttle during the corner exit... Trail braking (brake and turn) is also very tricky. Also exploring the option of left foot braking, which is quite useful in the long sweeper The follow video is very useful for me to pick up the above technique. The commentary also illustrated the difficulty in controlling the throttle (well of coze a V8). Pay attention to 0:11 the first 90 right hander.. the amount of trial braking and throttle, the brake is the key here 0:40 full throttle, then tap the brakes little bit and turn.This is very tricky for me in terms of gear change as well, Pay attention to this V8 gear change as well, he did not change any gear before turning in, and the RPM is not enough during corner exit. He only got 3000rpm in corner exit. In fact, I am suffering the same problem. My maximum speed of 2nd gear is 85km/h. The speed from the long sweeper to the right hander is from 120 to 65, the car starts to turn at 85..if I change from 3 to 2 before turning, I wll blow my engine. If I don't change gear before turning, I will lost speed in corner exit... 0:53 The commentary said it all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuWGGAcqes8 Got this from bunnings today to change tyre, my lug nuts are full of scratches anyway, so I don't mind using this, it saved me from back pain
  11. Looks heaps better than I imagine why not put the steering wheel on? I think u have to do more things to match the luxury.. lacking leather on the handbrake, gear stick
  12. for yr sway bar, 18 to 20 is the best... leaking fuel? why, that is not good.....how come u got so many problems?
  13. the new ones definitely look less round.. anyway, not hard to imagine, it is the middle between the new camry and the new yaris
  14. the wheels just ruin everything, as others point out !! and you have put this post in the wrong section, it should be Members Ride, please ask the admin to move it Your car should be much more powerful than the stock !! Although the wheel is ugly, but it will be light weight. Please spend some time on finding some light weight 17.. or otherwise your car will be slower after changing to 17. and the difference is very noticable
  15. good luck with everything, your sway bar seems to look like 20mm
  16. 1. m.C 2. flipsta 3. ZR63XY (maybe) 4. ohy34h (maybe, rolling on stockies now though lol) 5. Noodlez 6. Suter 7. Seby123 (same as Rob, three other meets to attend same day) 8. Ben Yip
  17. got a ODB2 reader, car has CEL sometimes especially after racing, the code is P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) It is probably my high flow catalytic convertor is not doing its job (that's good, but the more it is doing its job, the slower my car is) I am using metallic catalytic convertor, so it can withstand high temperature..and this code does not happen very often, so I can live with it The OBD2 reader can also check the voltage of the battery, so it gives me signs when to change, currently reading at 12.1 V when the engine is off, not sure whether this is normal voltage.. Also some temperature reading after cool down lap Front brake disc: 330C(626F), probably around 380C (716F) during racing, no brake fluid is able to withstand this temperature, the one I am using only supports up to 600F (315C) Rear Brake disc: 99C (210F), so cold!!! Front tyre outer: 55C Front tyre inner: 59C Rear tyre outer: 39C very cold!!! Rear tyre inner 42C very cold!!! Air Temperature is around 20C, track is 80% dry, 20% wet.. Tyre is Toyo R888 Semis Wet Track is very tricky to drive, I have lost control few times... the sudden transition from dry to wet just unsettle the car too much and cause the rear end spun.. Semis is really slippery!!! Once I lift off my throttle, the car spun at 100km/h straight away, this is due to the rear sway bar being too thick in the wet, but it is excellent for the dry because the lift off oversteer will help entering a corner. I have used VSC (stability control) to keep me in the track... Some part is more wet than the others, some is dry, the sudden transition of different grip level is too dangerous, I remembered in street driving in Sydney, I am doing a 100km/h in Warringah Road near Chatswood in http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Chatswood+NSW,+Australia&hl=en&ll=-33.772405,151.204748&spn=0.02465,0.05918&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=47.483365,121.201172&oq=chats&t=m&hnear=Chatswood+New+South+Wales,+Australia&z=15&layer=c&cbll=-33.772553,151.204218&panoid=4mqaZ0iFcbEhpB5wm9VHIQ&cbp=12,27.89,,0,11.19, there is a pool of water on the left, my car went on top on it and my car "floated" to the right !! This gives me a hint of how to do the long sweeping in Winton, my car should be set up not to spin in that corner when my foot is left off the gas
  18. I have changed to use http://www.globalsat...oduct_cnt_id=78 Features Google Map logging, updated every second G force logging speed calculator based on calculating latitide and logtitude every second buy it for 170 aud in Taiwan, ebay sell it for 188 also got unlimited length on one video during export to AVI http://www.youtube.com/user/TWGSat Video quality is still not as good as I expect.. still having problems in reading license plate This kind of device can be found on every taxi in Taiwan.. the cheapest one I see in around 100 AUD
