  1. Just got back from my holidays mate...and yes that pussy has been sitting on my tongue lol I can never look at your Girl friend again and not laugh after that comment... :P Wrong Bill JSL :D
  2. I think it would sell, it's a growing segment and I think the 40K price tag would be acceptable given the performance potential. People said the same things of the WRX when it was first sold in Australia and Mitsubishi made the mistake of not selling any more Turbo Lancers after the evo1 gsr, thinking it wouldn't sell in the Australian market, Subaru stayed in the market laughing all the way to the bank.
  3. Is this open to all again? I really want to try and get a particular E55 to the Dyno.
  4. Corolla Super Runx, those specs sound very nice, 270 hp is about 207kw which makes sense because the Japanese Gentlemans agreement on output is 205kw or 267hp. I think this will finally be a true GT4 WRC replacement, and I wouldn't be surprised if this Corolla is labelled as the Corolla GT4 for its Australian release... if it does get released... please please please Mr Toyota.
  5. A cheap alternative for the tight @rses .... A friend of mine works at Mercedes and told me they use Mr Sheen :o on Tyres interiors etc! :o Being the sceptic but also willing to try new things I had a can lying around at home, tried it on the Commodore's tyres and bugger me it actually works!
  6. I've always used Turtle Wax every six months, just before summer to protect against bird poop and just before winter to protect against rain and road grime. The old formula used to be heavier and was almost a mild cutting agent but the new formula seems to be lighter and is also easier to apply and remove.
  7. just wonder if you were wearing "that dress" and mabey they had something "else" in mind.... :P Well he did say the friend came from behind :P
  8. Why not get a genuine Australian complied FD ?
  9. Spectate? Pay $30 and have a run :) I'd be up for another Dyno Run
  10. Wagon and Hatch will have a more versatile interior, I've gone from a Commodore wagon to the Corolla hatch and haven't struggled yet. The hatch's limitation though is the length of the load space. I have a preference for manuals in a small capacity/low torque car. The Auto goes well enough, but is still only a three speed with and electronic overdrive/forth. The manual moves along a little better. It's also easier on its brakes. I've done 30,000km's and still have 65% of my pads left. Best time to get the best price is end of month, end of Financial Year and also end of September. (Many companies run their internal financial year from October to September)
  11. Yeah that guy's in Box Hill but not part of the Forum.

    Flying Toads

    Yes Cane Toads, considered a pest in Australia because they: -poison pets and injure humans with their toxins -poison many native animals whose diet includes frogs, tadpoles and frogs' eggs -eat large numbers of honey bees, creating a management problem for bee-keepers -prey on native fauna -compete for food with vertebrate insectivores such as small skinks -may carry diseases that are can be transmitted to native frogs and fishes. Cane Toads were introduced to Australia to eat French's Cane Beetles and the Greyback Cane Beetle. The larvae of these beetles eat the roots of sugar cane and kill or stunt the plants. The Australian Bureau of Sugar Experimental Stations imported about 100 toads from Hawaii to the Meringa Experimental Station near Cairns. The toads bred quickly and more than 3000 were released in the sugar cane plantations of north Queensland in July 1935. Big mistake! .

    Karma !

    I keep this on my desk at work, although some of it is a bit of a w@nk, most of it rings true... "I know that I have the ability to achieve my definite purpose in life; therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towards its attainment, and I here and promise to render such action. I fully realise that no wealth or position can long ensure, unless built upon truth and justice; therefore I will engage in no transaction, which does not benefit all whom it effects. I am succeeding by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use and the cooperation of other people. I induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others. I eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, cynicism, anger and fear by having true love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude towards can never bring me success. I cause others to believe in me because I believe in them and in myself. This is my creed, my quest. To never stop striving for the top, to always keep moving forward, to always be the very best I can be. I am the power, I am the magic, I can not be stopped, I am a winner. I promise to always be true to myself, because I am the creator and master of my universe, and I am responsible for making a positive difference in the world and to the quality of life in it."
  14. Only if Toyota can attribute a fault as a direct result of the change you've made. Given it is an airfilter, not much can really go wrong as a result of it. But it just really depends of your service manager
  15. I think you all really need to see if firstly you can find a supplier for the TRD products.
  16. My mate at work drove that car and was pretty disappointed with the lack of low-end power. He owns an Astra Turbo incidently. So Darren's driven the Supercharged T Sport ?
  17. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's a pre-facelift, it needs to have had the recall carried out.
  18. Interesting ... http://www.turbo-kits.com/corolla_turbo_kits.html
  19. If you check out www.9thgencorolla.com They have such a layout and it seems to work.

    OMFG I could not stop laughing! :D Risiliant little b@stard! I couldn't believe he made it through twice! How does that spud gun work ?
  21. Neither, quiet country roads with alot of bends.
  22. Spotted Peekay's Euro being driven by someone who definetely wasn't Peekay (Skinnier, Younger and alot more hair :P) on Tuesday on Springvale Road Glen Waverley. Some young guy and his missus ?
  23. Exhausts are meant to run hot to be running efficient ( Hot pipe = Hot gas = faster gas velocity ) After a straight 3 hour drive averaging 110km/h I had the inside of my Remus glowing faintly red in the dark, looked damn cool! :D
