Looking thru the Repco catalogue today, Mobil 1 10W-30 5L (The Gold bottle) is $75, is that cheap? Or can it get cheaper? http://www.repcoshop.com.au/ASP/Catalogue/CatPage12.asp

As long as you actually paint them black and not leave them as the plastic black. Ive seen a white car and a black car with the unpainted black plastic colour grill, it looks like crap. You can tell its unpainted from miles away! Assuming you're from SYdney, heres a link on where to paint them, and how much it costs to get it done. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=5745

To install any of these CAI's do you need to take off your front bar? Or is there a way to install it without removing the front bar?

Does it shake on the cold start? If so the coils may be loose, thats what happened to my mates corolla.

I think their repuation is worth more than a car. LOL Ive heard they are the preferred choice for Porsche/BMW/Merc/etc All it takes is one car to get stolen for their rep to hit the ground..... somehow i dont think a $20,000~$30,000 car is worth it to them.... at least aim for a lamborghini :P They arent a single shop, they've expanded Australiawide. Right now im tempted to ditch my $1500+ insurance to get them to install a 3 or 6 point immobiliser alarm system instead.... only thing stopping me is that there are other ppl driving the car.

Lend us your sportivo bro? I swear ill bring it back :P

you tried these guys yet? www.brant.com.au Located in five dock, Subaru use them for their STI's (and the STI's are apparenty damn hard to steal, and its even equiped with a anti-hijack device) There's a range of alarm systems ranging from 3 point imbolisers to anti hijacking devices. "No, all our systems are installed by BRANT trained technicians, thereby the wiring of the system stays “in house” and is not out there in the public domain. Thus ensuring added security for the system. " That i think is the most important point, last thing you want is to get a top notch security system only to find it disabled cos the information on how to get around it is all over the internet! http://www.brant.com.au/Content_Common/pg-...ity-Systems.seo AA05 All black wiring 2 remote transmitters 3 point immobiliser 2 stage shock sensor Battery back siren Doors, boot and bonnet $498.00 Fully installed (well i assume it is cos no one else can install it but them)

ill happily donate $2 to ya to be the guinea pig :P Only need another 7 ppl to donate the $2 each and you'll be set SyxXPaC :D

I bought my conquest auto for $24700 driveaway.... after reading up on rollas on this forum, i wish i paid an extra $3000 for the Sportivo (driveaway price too). :( Mums fault for making me buy auto so she could drive it too.... I want the climate control and the LIFT! i hate you all you sportivo drivers! :P

how much are those roughly?

Hmmmz the corollas in Saudi Arabia look the same, just with different headlights. Personally i dont like the headlights the sedans, but its all up to personal preference. Three door one looks hot, but what i reckon would be hotter would be the current corolla sedan in a 3 door lift back :D (Similar to the Mazda 6 but 3 door in a corolla!)

There aint enough touch up paint to do it, and it wont be smooth either (unless you're a professional at it :P)

You mean the eyelids / grill or my bumper bar?

Going this way is probably the quickest from Slurry Hills. From memory there are two speed cameras, both on the hume highway between ashfield and enfield. Alternative route would be M5, get off at Henry Lawson Dr, and drive up towards Parramatta. Henry Lawson Dr becomes Woodville Rd @ the Hume Highway intersection (There is also a red light camera here as well)

Lamborghini Gallardo - Wrecked by Dubai speed bumper "The government of Dubai thought it would be a good idea to put a speed bump on a street where locals tended to speed. Problem is they didn’t tell anybody. This Gallardo hit it at over 60 MPH. There’s actually a video of the accident. The back end of the Gallardo goes about 5 feet off the ground." http://www.topspeed.com/car_news/lamborghi...per-ar3138.html Big video

whats the toyota website for saudi arabia?

But wont you get defected from the coppers for not having an airbox?

actually, its not impossible. If you have a look at the bunnings link http://www.bunnings.com.au/site/awdepfour....09&depnum=10873 All the high pressure machines (other than the GMC ones) have the ability to draw from a bucket! " Capable of drawing water from a tank or a bucket rather than just a hose outlet. 2-year standard warranty." ahh crap. So you're saying your pressure washer was designed to use either water from a tap or water from a bucket. (or did you mod it so it could take water from the tank?) Yet when you connected to the water tank/bucket, there was insufficient pressure for it to function properly? :(

Seeing we can use a bucket to wash ours, what if........ We had the water from the tap going into the bucket. Then had the high pressure water cleaner sucking the water FROM the bucket. Technically speaking we are filling up a bucket, and connecting the high pressure hose to it, isnt that legal?

Will having a CAI make it harder to pass my rego when my car is more than 3 years old (other than going to joe bloggs mechanic who passes you without even seeing your car - just in case rules change on who can issue em). You still trying to sell me that muffler? :P I'll consider it, though if i do get CAI, i might as well get a full exhaust setup to to compliment it, though its more so the auto transmission that worries me <_< How is project el-cheapo coming along anyway? Got wheels yet?

I bought a K&N filter that fits in my airbox, do these CAI's work with that, or did i just waste my money buying this filter? Then where is it located? What happens to your old airbox?

out of curiousity - is using a bucket to wash your car thing a NSW thing or a Australia wide thing?

if i got time i might drop by just to say hi. i reckon my rolla is too stock to keep up with ya

Looking to buy one of these to clean my car (i saw one in action today and was amazed at how fast it cleaned my car - even if it was just with water) http://www.bunnings.com.au/site/awdepfour....09&depnum=10873 Anything one should be aware of before buying one of these? Can we connect these to our hoses (for those of us in NSW) or must it run thru a bucket?

I dont recommend going to Terry Shields @ Parramatta. My mate had his Corolla serviced there for his 40,000. The idiots put the rav4 spark plugs as opposed to the normal ones.... made the car shake like hell on cold starts (though a loose coil was also to blame for that, the spark plugs made it a crap load more obvious). It took Peter Warren Toyota @ Liverpool to fix all that crap.
