neK

nice meeting you today Xploshun...

wohoo, can't wait for the CAI now...

Delivery address has been organised. It will be sent to me.

I will PM you for the ransom details :P

j/k

Its all good. I can wait. :D

Thanks again Michael!

ok im in.

Im located in Canterbury

hey neK/Ken, i'm also thinking about getting a CAI as well...

so let me know how you go, lolz...

ohh, and i'm from sydney also...

No worries. Lets see how things pan out.

hey ken! 2nd GB have already ended!!! but if you still want one.. go find 1 from syd..

coz the seller is trying to get the other 4 intakes this week..

he said he will send the 6 intakes by today/tomorrow.

What do you mean go find 1 from Syd? Find another person?

Think we might have one :)

Do you think you can ask to guy to tag two more ordes onto the existing GB?

PS: Since im keeping the car now i might as well get one. LOL

how is this group buy progressing along?

Im still procrastinating over a CAI.

Does anyone need someone to pair up with? (Preferably in Sydney)

LOL

Crackup.

I think most people are aware that it is already blinding people, and 99% of people that fit them to their car realise that it is illegal.

I put 6000k in my corolla, and after 10mins of driving i pulled over to adjust my headlights.

They are now pointed as far down to the ground as possible, and not pointing in peoples eyes.

I find the cheap $10 bulbs off ebay are actually more blinding with the extra glare they the give off.

My 2c

How do you point your lights down?

One of my bulbs blew, so i swapped them some new ones. They are nice and bright for me, but if im driving behind anyone it can be quite annoying.

I was under the impression they just clip on, and thats about as far as it goes.

Yo xploshun, who can help me install one?

And does anyone who drives an auto have a CAI installed?

read that thread already.

only 2 users said they have better fuel economy...

I cant see how someone can get 700km outta tank for a corolla.

I get about 450 now before the light goes on and thats using BP ultimate.

So anyways, would the ppl who bought a TRD one and installed it please comment.

those who have installed this CAI... hows your fuel economy?

And has anyone whos got an auto installed it?

hey xploshun who installed your CAI for you?

And how much did it cost?

bankstown i believe

$22k aint gonna get you jack for a deposit on a house in Sydney.

Unit maybe... but those dont appreciate in value very much,

Throw it in some managed funds instead :)

What about a WV Gold TDI?

With petrol prices as they are, turbo diesel may be a good option.

WTF?

Mine worked fine for me.

YOu using the right tool? LOL

LOL!!!

only trying to look out for ya! :D

i really want the insurance to get involved...

but i said, alright if he wants to pay cash and get it fixed..... sigh.. i regret saying that... saves a lot of trouble!!!

anyway.. i'll leave my car at my panel beater tomorrow morning.... and he can get his guys to check it out there.

Michael, have you noticed that NO ONE has agreed with what you have said so far? Sorry to sound harsh, but the reality here is that no one wants to see you getting screwed over. A few of the guys talk from actual experience, so its up to you to believe them.

I know you're a nice guy, but DO NOT feel sorry for this bloke, do not accept his cash. You will only get screwed over.

Once you accepted the cash (or even a portion of it), you've pretty much "resolved" it and you wont have much of a leg to stand.

So if he screws you, and you take it NRMA, its going to become a piece of turd.

He will probably argue/make up that you accepted partial fault hence why you accepted to foot a portion of the bill, which is why he only paid you $1000 instead of $3000. Your story vs his. You will be surprised at how many different variants of the story that can arise from these things, and how messy these things can become (and NRMA wont even want to touch it with a 10ft pole!).

How honest can the guy be if he's in the "car industry" and driving around a "car thats for sale" with "no license", which to me spells "im out to screw you"

Btw, if you really want cash, make sure you get the highest quotes, and DO NOT let him quote it. If he doesnt agree to those quotes, then tell him you will take it through the insurer. Remember his "panel beater" will go there and try to underquote. ie Your quote - $3000. His "panel beater" quote will be $1500. Guess what he's gonna offer to pay. ;)

PS: You can also sue him for damages caused to your neck. I recommend that both you and your gf get checked out by a doctor and get a full written report. If there are potential injuries which the doctor recommends that you take time off work, sue the d!ckhead for loss of income too.

Do not take it to his "mate" who is a "panel beater"

Heard one too many horror stories on this one.

You got his details down?

Take it to your insurer and let them handle it. Thats what they are for.

You can never trust ppl who say "i know a panel beater" BS and especially when they dont have a rego sticker on their car!

Thats a huge price difference on the ascent and conquest.

And why no price difference on the conquest to levin?

LOL!!

That was awesome

Wheres part 2

I wanna see if it survives the fire.

Too bad cars arent made like that anymore!

corolla with Boxer engine... :D

thats more like it :)

First thing toyota should do is fire the idiot(s) who designed the new subaru wrx.... wtf were they thinking

So im guessing everyone in Syd is paired up then?

Still half tempted, though if there isnt a odd number then I guess thats a good enough excuse for me to save my money :)

Let me know if anything changes or if Oncy bails, happy to step in to fill the void (well rather its just an excuse for me to buy a CAI. LOL).

Hey so does this TRD CAI include a pod or not?

Why not just send kcorros CAI to Sydney as a pair, then ship it down to melbourne afterwards?

How much would shipping down to melbourne be anyway?

Xploshun, as for me, worse case scenario with the CAI is i buy it and dont install it. Let it gather dust for a while then resell it :P (So if you are in desperate need of a buyer to create a pair, give me a call - I PM'ed you with my mobile number anyway).
