Sorry Evo - Only on VHS. Viking - you lucky dog!

Sorry a flying Fin :D. I also have a video of him contesting Rally Australia (WA) in a Subaru Liberty a few years back. Some of the footage is in-car when he's set the fastest time through a forrest stage. Again all you hear is car with no commentry and just watching how fast he's going, so close to trees is just damn scary.

It that the one of the Peugoet 205, that's an awesome movie, they used to always play it on Wide World of Sports and was one of the most requested movies they ever showed. Mainly because the was no bull sh!t commentary to destroy it, just raw engine and road noise. That movie was one of the things that first got me interested in motorsports... in one word... AWESOME!!! ← That was Swedish Rally Legend Ari Vatinen in a purpose built Peugeot 406. That world record time stood for years until Japanese driver "Monster" Kajima broke it in the Suzuki Pikes Peak Escudo.

Yellow is cool, that's what I'll do mine with when I actually decide to go to the effort of taking my wheels off and doing it! Maybe later.... :D

I'll be o/seas next week for 6 weeks, and the Dyno Facility is in the process of getting a brand new dyno that they're expecting to get in September. So, once I'm back in late August I'll be on the phone with the owner of the Dyno shop to organise a date. At this stage I'm expecting Late September/Early October.

This is a bit of a grey area (So it's best to check directly with VIC Roads), because when I insured my car AAMI said size didn't matter ( No pun intended ) provided they were below 22" Legally in vic - most important thing is that rolling diameter and weight load rating is identical to the OEM specs. Also, you can't exceed 1" wider than OEM spec.

Check out rollamods ... :D

That would also be with the early American spec Aluminimium intake plenum and square throttle body.

I think I'll be typing up something similar soon... Here's an actual letter of resignation from an employee at Zantex Computers, USA, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon afterwards! Dear Mr. Baker, As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my coworkers and me during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time. You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts. 1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own. 2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the administration. 3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your Mother's birthday," you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.) Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation to be on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never fool with your systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you with all that free time! Wishing you a grand and glorious day Cecelia

A man goes into a lawyer's office and says, "I heard people have sued the tobacco companies for giving them lung cancer, and McDonald's for making them fat." The lawyer says, "Yes, that's true." The man says, "Well, I'm interested in suing too." The lawyer says, "Okay, McDonald's, or the Tobacco companies?" The man says, "Neither I'm suing Carlton United Breweries for all the ugly people I've slept with."

Yes Dr Ghetto

We all know those cute little computer symbols called "emoticons," where: :) means a smile and :( is a frown. Sometimes these are represented by :-) and :-( respectively Well, how about some "assicons"? Here goes: (_!_) a regular ar*se (__!__) a fat ar*se (!) a tight ar*se (_*_) a sore ar*se {_!_} a swishy ar*se (_o_) an ar*se that's been around (_x_) kiss my ar*se (_X_) leave my ar*se alone (_zzz_) a tired ar*se (_E=mc2_) a smart ar*se (_$_) Money coming out of his ar*se (_?_) Dumb ar*se

What set up did you actually finish up with and what was the cost? Makes sense, it the car's tied down better, the front end of the car will lift less under acceleration giving you more traction and less wheel spin, this in turn making the revs drop down that little more as you engage second.

Did you see Northy's first clutch ? If it was a track day and I could get the day off, my response would be different but I'm just not interested in putting my car on the drag strip Lucio. But always happy to be your Pitt crew :)

Search for Coolant Bypass: Basically it's a virtually costless mod to your throttle body that involves disconnecting and bypassing the two coolant lines that go in/out of the throttle body so that it isn't heated by the coolant running through it. Cooler/Denser air into your engine means better response. Never heard of the throttle cable mod...

Eddy Torrez just got a Magnaflow on his Sportivo and Northy has one on his Ascent

I'd love to come help Lucio (I'm not really interested in putting my car on the strip cos I know I'd kill my clutch in no time, plus we already know I'm slower :P ) and do the Video, but heading o/s very soon so can't at the moment. September Maybe?

This has come up before and the answer is No they're not. The Sportivo uses the exact same springs as an Ascent/Conquest/Levin. The difference in suspension set up is the Shockers/Dampers are tuned/valved differently to be 40% firmer, so to are the bushes. Everything else is the same. So if you put the optional "Sportivo" springs on a Corolla Sportivo, it does actually lower the car.

A 35mm or 1.5" drop would suit you fine.

Yes

I optioned mine with the car as new so I didn't get charged for fitment and can't remember how much they actually were. sorry

There is one I know of and I'm certain this is the one Kcorro is referring to.

faarrk! Not fair, can't make it. I'll just go off into my corner and sook now. :( :( :(
