  1. Maybe i should clarify...because i bought my car from a toyota dealership a condition of the "extended" car warrenty is i get it serviced through toyota...... With Extended Dealer Warranty, you must get your car serviced at that dealership only for the extended warranty... Check with the dealer you bought the car from to clarify however... Yes, so we better to buy the car at the dealer that got good services department...In my case, Terry Shields Toyota, and I gave up the Extended plan...actually I think if I services with them, my car will dead with 3 years...and the extended warranty just won't help.
  2. how about for the 1ZZ-FE, same 100kw...is the old vvti corolla 5 speed faster than new dual vvti 6 speed?
  3. I should read this before I done my services <_<:( Went to Castle Hill Toyota for 40K services, I requested to replace the spark plug to Denso Iridium. On invoice parts listed IK20 Iridium Plug. But Denso website IK16 is for 1ZZFE, IK20 for 2ZZGE. Don't know why they think I got 2ZZGE...Is that cool to put the IK20 on 1ZZ??? They also overfilled engine oil...(about 1CM over the MAX) Really hard to find a Toyota services center work correctly at NSW.
  4. thx for the respones. I'll go for Motul 5.1, confirmed with Toyota only need half litre. Do I need other half litre to flush it? And will Toyota help me to do a flush really if I provide them other bottle...
  5. My car 1ZZFE is due for 40K Services and I believe is time to change the brake fluids. On the services book mention replace with DOT3. Can we use DOT4? Motul, Castrol or PBR. & how many bottles I will need?
  6. how do you know bp fuel is cleaner than shell, caltex and how did you test this?? x2!!! That's an outrageous claim. I just did nearly 650km on a tank of Vortex 98, calculated around 7.8L/100 km. That's after warming my car up for 5 mins every morning, driving in peak hour to uni everyday and revving to redline in 1st and 2nd gear fairly regularly. I'm getting anywhere between 600-700k's(Normally pull 650 if not too much thrashing about) from a full tank of V-Power, warming up every morning, driving in traffic, quite a bit of lift too! I prefer to put v-power in my car, after using fuels like caltex vortex and bp ultimate or whatever, and then putting in some V-power, i can instantly feel a bit of difference, my engine feels like its revving more freely or something. I do feel Shell V-Power rev better compare with Caltex too...even on stock 1zzfe :) Also, drive by wire corolla (early model till 05) also got 100KW engine.
  7. I want to see it too...got some video from their site.. http://optionfans.com.hk/vx_main.htm mention from 190hps -> 248hps on a Corolla Fielder.
  8. Totally agree. I done this mod & sounds great. But is not free...I bought a pipe & attach to it, make sure it sick the cold air :).
  9. most, if not all the turbo engines from Jap cars come in a non-turbo variant... another good straight 6, NA, example is the BMW M3, they sound awesome too :) or the humble Ford Falcon engine... What I meant was I've never actually heard one in person or upclose....I'm very much aware that pretty much most(if not all) turbo variants start off as N/A bases Don't forget some of Suburu Legacy got a "H6" boxer Engine...M3 really sounds awesome ...
  10. Actually I am with NRMA. NRMA suggested that should be other driver's fault, as he cutting to my lane. Delvin St to Victroia Rd. Anyway, my driver side door (totally damaged) right hand side passenger and some damage above the rear wheel panel. Checked around here, West Ryde Smash Reparis & Col’s Body shop... Not sure where else is good.
  11. my also damaged and the towing company suggested me to go "Georges Smash Repairs"...lucky I read this thread...Anyone got a good recommendation. I am living at Ryde Area.
  12. Greddy Gear knob is pretty good & heavy. Details: http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product_info....roducts_id=4016 http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product_info....products_id=865 But get it at Autobarn...Is cheaper than Modyourcar.
  13. Being different is good. Photo a bit too hard, any other photos?
  14. Mmm...May I ask what Engine u got first? That is no engine pic on your allex. 1zz, 2zz? Don't really think they got a 2ZZ with auto box.
  15. sorry to hijack your thread most places told me the rear cant be adjusted at all, because its solid, or are they just being lazy? thats why i only pay 40 for all my alignments YA, I did 4 wheel alignment last time too...So, it was not unnecessary?
