  1. White with red stripe and the white one on the right hand-side. If I was you I would use a multi-metre and double check and mark the polarity when installing your foot lights. Good Luck!
  2. haha thats crazy, I'm surprised I haven't seen you around the area more!! Cheers, I'm south of Sydney near Blakehurst, South Hurstville, Connells Point way, just before you go over Tom Uglys Bridge. A meet sounds like a great idea, it would be good to get some opinions. I'm thinking about getting side skirts from pezzie, what do you guys reckon? Genuine Toyota's and get them colour coded, I just don't want to look like i'm trying to pull off a Levin when its only an Accent. no way! im not that far away from you :) im up at rockdale

  4. Cheers guys for your comments. Peter I agree with you too, the rear is sitting a bit high. On 15 inch stockies I was scraping everywhere. But now with my new rims and tyres it is much better. I've only got Lovell normal springs all round, super lows would be great. But at the moment it will have to wait. I just don't want to be scraping everywhere, shopping centre speed humps are terrible! All the credit for the footlights goes to you Pete, followed your DIY and worked out an treat, it its such a cheap mod, that looks great! Few more pics possibly coming this week.
  5. Finally managed to wash the car and take some semi decent pics, please excuse the photos i'm just starting to get into my dslr. Enjoy
  6. They're coming mate, hopefully going to wash my car tomorrow, its just been too hot! I'll post up some more pics when I get chance
  7. Hey everyone! Finally managed to get my Kappa's put on, got these from Pezzie, Thanks heaps! Wrapped in Pirelli P7 they were on special and payed cash so managed to get 5 for 900 which is an amazing price considering these go for around the $400 mark each! Also my TRD muffler finally arrived sounds great, nice and subtle, heck even got a compliment from a copper that said it was good better than all those hoons with canon exhausts! No offense to anyone that has a canon exhaust.
  8. G'day Mate I don't have an Aurion but I do have a Corolla, if your not looking to spend to much money, then I would suggest simple stainless CAT back exaust system, ie from the Catalytic converter, you can get these custom made or there are lots of generic ones out there to suit your model. Further more a cold air intake would further enhance the sound of your car throughout all RPM. All of these can be done relatively cheaply as well. Please don't get a cannon exhaust which I don't think you will, they do however always manage to ruin any car they are on. I would suggest taking it to a muffler shop, there are heaps around, tell them what you want and your budget and they should be able to set you up. Chris
  9. Hey Pete Those SMD's look really good, I noticed that your've done one for the dome light also. I'm looking at changing mine over as well, is the dome light just a matter of popping off the cover? Or is there more to it? Cheers Chris
  10. Someone with an Aurion please correct me if i am wrong, but i presume it would be similar to 2008-2010 Corolla wiring behind the dash. Dutie's DIY, perhaps you can use that and modify for your Aurion but i presume it would be very similar. Cheers Chris
  11. In my opinion yes, the switch on the dome light is only for the light itself, there would still be current in the circuit, all the swtich does is complete this. Simple way to check though is to take off your glove box and test using a mulitmetre behind there, well thats what i did for my Corolla, I don't see why they shouldn't work.
  12. Nice pics guys, they are amazing!! A few taken from Fraser Island and Hervey Bay. Nothing too flash just a standard Ricoh point and shoot, few touch ups etc. Enjoy....
  13. I also found some on MotorActive.com which was through Meqguires Australia $59.00 including postage within australia, i think thats pretty reasonable?? I purchased mine direct from Meguiars Australia. They are also available through ZAS Car Detailing Products. Not sure what stock is like for either of them. Pads can be purchased through ZAS as well, but with the high AUD at the moment you could try Proper Auto Care in the US. I bought a number of products from them last year and it worked out much cheaper than getting it locally. Auto Detailing Solutions is the cheapest US site I was able to find but they don't ship internationally. I was able to negotiate with Proper Auto Care did match some of Auto Detailing Solutions prices and offered a partial discount on others.
  14. Hey buddy, I have a 2008 Acent hatch. I just installed my Injen CAI cost me around 350 inlcuding shipping from the US. Sounds amazing! and adds a few kw! However if your from Brisbane check out CES they are willing to do a custom job for the ZRE for about 450 i think. Up to you really. As for the exhaust i'm still waiting for my genuine TRD high response muffler. Which should hopefully be in this week. Heard they're good. Maybe CES would do you a deal if you got new headers and full stainless setup Just my 2 cents! Cheers Chris
  15. In Sydney its illegal to text and drive, so isn't this an accident waiting to happen? How havn't the police or the RTA stepped in on this one?
  16. Nice TOM! I installed my injen cai last week, no engine light, although, my injen filter was dry and also got the hydro shield for. How did u go with the bottom bracket? I had to make up my own out of aluminum sheeting. Chris
  17. LOL!!! ITS NOT MESSY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! U DONT SPLICE N E THIN!!! Thanks for the clarification mate, umm did you get your mate to help you out? I'm unsure of the push button mod as i did the stalk.
  18. Hey buddy, check out Kenneths DIY foglight install. The the relay does go in behind the air conditioning, pretty sure the part that you pulled out. However if you want yo use the switch provided in the kit, then you may need an auto-electrician. ONly becuase you need to splice off a 12 volt source. It gets messy! Can i suggest that you get an OEM stalk with the foglight switch i got mine for $115 shop arround for the best prices including other states. This is much easier, just plug and play. Again check out Kenneth's DIY guide its very helpful. If you have any problems send me a pvt messege I'll see what i can do. Cheers Chris
  19. Yeh i contacted Toyota last week, they said the muffler had been lost in transit And would be no more than 2 weeks, well its two weeks next week. I wonder whether they will give me a discount? Hehe maybe 100% i wish!! Can anyone help me on how to put it into the Members Rides section?
  20. Haha i know Peter some of them have deep pockets! I would do so much more if i had $$$$$. Your ride is looking sweet too, sooo low, how do you get it in and out of any driveways! haha. Cheers for the heads up I'll have to go along to one of the meets. Chris
  21. Haha i know what you mean, i'm always cutting myself too when ever i wash the car! and not to mention the number plate protectors there just as bad! So far so good with the Injen Cai no engine light as of yet and I've already done about 250km with it on. It sounds a beast! Almost WRX like.
  22. Hey mate get ur fog lights from mars Performance (just google them), 180 including shipping from memory, they come with the white bulbs, there are some on ebay which include the black plastic shroud but i'm unsure of the quality. The Mars performance ones are for a sedan but screw directly into the black plastic, maybe get those from Toyota i followed Kenneth's DIY with the stalk, looks much more professional. I'm currently using Phillips crystal clear 4300k, wont get pulled over by the coppers and look great! they'l match the fog lights from Mars, check out my page to have a look. Chris
  23. Not too sure, got them off a mate at mates rates, i believe he got them from www. marsperformance.com if the link doesn't work just google them. They're pretty good.
  24. ***New pics and upgraded mod list! Hey everyone thought I would share my car with all of you. I bought it back in August last year, it's a 2008 ZRE Corolla Accent. Please feel free to comment, dislike, share, give advise etc. Current Mods Colour coded front and rear mud flaps Lovells Springs (thanks Kevo for your great price! ) 4300k Phillips Crystal Clear Fog light install with OEM stalk ( thanks kenneth for your great DIY ) Genuine Toyota headlight protectors and bonnet protector Injen CAI 17 inch Kappa's with Pirelli P7's TRD high response muffler Footlights Future Mods Front and rear slim line weather shields SMD interior and boot upgrade More photo's to come, when Mod's are done and its cleaner! Terribly sorry about the size of photo's i didn't know they were going to turn out so big, if anyone could tell me how to fix it up
  25. Hey dude, you'l be fine!! This test is dead easy!. Make sure you do the practice questions until you get them all right, it will put you in the right sense of mind to easily do the real test. Quick tip from memory is when slowing down tap the screen well before you would actually brake in real life. For example if you see a yellow advisory sign, as soon as you are able to distinguish it, slow down if necessary. Hope it helps! Let us know how you go! Chris
