  1. oousss puuhhh oousss puuhhh "Corzza" oousss puuhhh oousss puuhhh "I am your Father"! :D That is quite possibly the nerdiest thing i have ever seen not cool "Search your feelings Corzza, you know it is the truth"
  2. Those are the Japanese RunX tail lights. E-gene has a set on his car. They're quite cool because they illuminate on either side of the indicator/reverse light in the middle, unlike the Aus/Euro spec lights which only illuminate on the outer side of the light and the inside part of the light seems to be a useless waste of space.

  4. A brief way to look at the difference in quality between a JAP and SA built cars is to look inside the wheel arches. Kcorro showed me this one. The Japanese cars have a rubbery sound proofing type material sprayed into the wheel arches. The South African built cars just have black paint. Small difference, but many such small differences are carried out throughout the car.
  5. surprised he doesn't haver "loser" for sale...
  6. I don't think that will be a problem as the most time is wasted swaping the cars around, having a few more runs with the same car won't take up much more time.
  7. Same, twisties in the country at night. The placement of the headlights is high, so this is always going to happen, and my low beams are adjusted reasonably low too.
  8. Red Coolant is better than Green Coolant. It sounds like the dealer is trying to get you spend $$$ to flush out the coolant when it's not necessary. If you go to Autobarn/Supercheap/Repco/Carbits you'll find it and you can simply top up the level. I believe Nulon now make the Red/Pink Coolant. Cheers

  10. Sweeet! B) TOCAU, OzMazda and Opel Aus

  12. Did the $350 include Wheel Alignment ?
  13. The new R32 Golf has been confirmed for Aust though, but don't know if it's the 3 or 5 door
  14. Train the Human ABS :D Also, don't your tires have some nice flat spots on them after all that ?
  15. Personally, I think it's best to use nothing, I keep a chamois cloth for the interior only and pick up any dust/dirt using that. You don't get that nice shiny look from products, but in the end it will be better. The thing about using those silicon based products is if you keep using it on a regular basis, it's all fine, but you once you've started applying it, you need to do it always, otherwise the rubber/plastics dry out and start to age.
  16. In Europe I believe the ZZE122/3 is the E12.
  17. Even if there's only one month difference, The December 05 is still considered to be a year older, Come re-sale time it does make a difference to the value, so if you can, wait and get the 06 built car.
  18. Congratulations, nice, reliable, econimical new car what more do you want :D Periodically - Once a week, spend two minutes to check oil level (with the dipstick), brake fluid level (just look at the little bottle) power steering fluid (again just look at the bottle), coolant fluid level (you should be able to just look at the level on the outside of the bottle/reservour) and also tyre pressures when ever you fill up at a Petrol station Don't use armour all/meguirs or similar on interior/exterior plastics, it will actually make them age quicker, no need to wax/polish immediately, however. particularly if the car's parked outside, it's important to polish/wax every six months. I do mine just before summer to protect again bird doo and just before winter to protect again rain and road grime. As long as you wash it off immediately it wont damage the paint and no need to use the quick polish/detail stuff I've found the sheep skin ones make alot of dust/fluff!, but using the fabric ones are a good idea, floor mats are also a must, you'd be amazed how much you carry on your feet. 90% people change to alloy wheels for the look, nothing wrong with steel wheels and never heard them to be squeaky? Standard wheels are fine if you're happy with them, no need to spend money. Steering wheel locks are a good visual deterent, nothing wrong with being too safe, most major ins companies are ok, I've found aami to be reasonable, when I first got my licence I went through insurance brokers who found me the best rate, once I got my rating one I ditched the broker. Also check who your parants are with, sometimes you can get a better rating being with the same company.
  19. Shouldn't be paying any more than $850. If you're in Melbourne e-mail Euroworx for a price, e-mail address is parts@euroworx.com.au
