  1. With the up and coming bodykit being put on, I'm somewhat torn as to how I should get my grille painted.

    The mesh will be black but I am unsure to have the outer part fully colour coded like this:

    Or to have it like the Camry TS-01 and have it like this:

    and yes, those bonnet vents do look nice... :g:

    So what are your opinions? Match or Mix (fully coloured or black and blue)?

    fully colour coded imo andrew....hands down, looks cleaner. or is it the photos/car colours etc?~!@#$% anyways the blue gets it for me.

  2. So 20" rims with 245-30-20's and Pedders coilovers have no problem with scrubbage?? Or do you find you are constantly making adjustments to avoid it?

    no...i've had no real probs only when i've got a load on (passengers) over around 100kilos then i take it easy over bad irregularities but still no probs because now i just turn the dampener up a notch or 2 n bobs yr uncle. for regular driving and common sense no worries atall.i thought before i got the coilovers i would have scrubbing etc but was pleasantly surprised that i had no probs with the 20inch wheels/tyres.

    hope that helps you out a bit

    cheers cam :)

    Yeah, I suppose thats the whole point of having the adjustable Coil-Overs is you can make adjustments depending on the situation !! Are they a b**ch to adjust, Or is it literally a 2 minute job ? Im just struggling as to whether I should settle for a KYB Setup w/ Super lows or fork out the extra $ and get Coil-overs put in :(

    you get 4 dials 2 in the boot n 2 under the hood ( one for each wheel) you just turn for harder or turn for softer ride.back in this thread you'll see different settings liked by all the guys so it really is upto your most frequent driving requirements.if you decide to have them pro fitted then just say how low you want the wheels set to the arch n go from there...i said to pedders an inch n a half or two away from the wheel arch will do because it's a daily ride.it really is a 2 min job to dial your ride after the initial instillation.check out their site n go from there.i hope this helps yu out regards cam :)

    Oh thats awesome ! Plug and Play type convenience right there, Favouring the coil overs at the moment lol ! Yeah I think 1 1/2 " is a good benchmark, I definetly dont want $260 tyres scrubbing :( I was thinking of going with these wheels in 19" (20" looks teenage d****head spec :P)

    I like this but reversed, clear where the red is and the red where the clear is...Still your new look is super clean, nice work :D

    thanks matey...to me the red/clear combo looks like some kinda "merc munster" old time lol

    cheers cam

  4. i have taken the plunge n upgraded me fuel to bp 98 and have just had me 30000 km service,still under 9000km in reality.

    i also decided to be a little more 'urgent' in the way i drive so after setting the trip metre i topped up after 100kms and was real glad with the results.

    i do a 15min to work daily and made sure i floored it atleast once a day but kept within the speed limits of 50,60,70km zones to work.

    i came in at just 7 litres per 100kms.....yu gotta b happy with that ( short trips n all ) makes me glad i got the big girl and not the small one lol.

    cheers cam :D

    ps the total fuel cost of the top up after 100ks was 10 bucks! shes such a smoothy B)

  5. Been a while since I did my tips. Those who asked for photos of tips while car is on ground, Sorry. Took me quite a while. Been busy with stuff. Anw, I just took the pic together with my new mod. ;) ;)

    Decided to take the Sportivo spoiler off and put on a ducktail. Here's what it looks like.. I'm still not used to it, still misses the old one pretty bad.. :(

    luving the ducktail n the car...sexy as :wub:
