STYLSH

I think we should nominate Evan as our representative :)

Hahaha aha

If I am going to be there it will be a bit after 9. Need to go home and have dinner first.

I still use the good old fashion LARGE Oates one (the one that comes in the orange container). Works well especially if you are of a bigger stature compared to me. :P You can dry the whole side of the car with just 1 twist as I witness by our resident detailer Silvabullet!

For some reason I keep of reading the you name as "Style" and not Slyle lol

Guys stop just looking at the "wattage". The Type S speakers from Alpine are very efficient speakers where they will sound pretty nice and loud with just head unit power. Amps can make it sound even nicer and louder but if you are going to get an amp, I'd suggest going with better speakers in the first place.

With the TypeR you WILL need an amp as they are more power hungry but they will sound better than the S's even if both are amp.

Just remember to spend the most on the front speakers as they are the most important part of the equation.

lol not the lsd. But the install kit :P

Changed the oil filter and oil and in the process of removing the blasted oil filter, oil is EVERYWHERE... Whoever designed the oil filter placement on the 1mz should be shot!

In other news, I just ordered an item from MWR.

You can get the philips DRL from any philips retailer. Even autobarn has a philips book advertising their DRL. But personally speaking, if it didn't come with the car, it shouldn't be put on as all. The ebay ones arent even bright enough to really use them as DRLs.

I'm keen too.

Yup thanks for big D, Mick and Brendan for organizing this. Was an awesome meet with some very nice driving roads.

Go karts was awesome fun too even with all the chaos that was caused on the last stint lol.

I'll meet you guys at yatala at 10 too. Saves me driving to the city and back pass my place. Are we using channel 33 on the UHF. ?

come out on the friday night even if it's just for a chat :)

Just been asked by a mate, will it look good on the camry though. Is it the car (m3, ferrari, lambos) that makes the paint "wow" or does the paint make the car "wow"?

Hmmmmmmmmmm

KU36s are noisier than the RE001s, but immensely more grippy than the bridgestones in the dry. So depend on what you want to do in the car.

I changed the ecu to a manual one so that you don't get shift solenoid faults which will bring a check engine light and go into limp mode. However the loom must be slightly different too so that's why I still have that code.

Secondly although manual is fun and slightly faster. If you aren't going to mod it then i'd just stay auto unless your box is about to break. As I said I would rather spend that 5 k on something else eg suspension, wheels, tyres, or spend 5k tosards making boost.

Also selling your car + 5k will give you a manual v6 which would be heaps better and worlds apart performance wise.

Ok spoke to Adrian. Gave him the paint code to try and test out on a random panel.

He said about 6k for a colour change and that includes behind doors, under the bonnet edges. But not the engine bay itself. And at least a quarter of that price will be taken off due to insurance paying for the repainting of the whole left side. But he will give me the proper quote for the insurance and then how much to add on for if I went with Satin black, and if I just did the silver.

Btw I've been told by people to get Frozen grey because if I go Frozen Black, it'll end up having lots of white stuff on it after the first thursday meet it goes to from a certain someone. :P

Nope it is not worth it. It is always cheaper to sell your car and buy the manual version. This is coming from someone who has done it. It cost about 5k. The only time you would think about doing this is if your gearbox is about to die (mine was) and if there is significant amount of work done to it (mine has). So selling your car + 5k will give you a better car than swapping yours to manual. There are also less issues in the future too, my ecu will give me a "where is the auto gearbox" code but luckily this doesnt trigger the check engine light or the limp mode.

Also after seeing what the "mechanics" at the wreckers do and how they treat cars, I would never let them put a finger on my car.

Yup it should since it is an alcohol based cleaner

Well I guess me and Andrew aren't hoons then. We just drive boring camrys. Nothing special over here officer :P

Unless we are returning from a Nebo run and we happen to drag at a set of lights past a cop car...

But you do *don sunglasses* quite often though :P

And Ash how many times did you *sedately* drive by us last week?

Well I guess me and Andrew aren't hoons then. We just drive boring camrys. Nothing special over here officer :P

Hey D, can you remind me to give you the balance next thursday. I pretty sure I'll forget lol

I think he said $6k if we wanted glass out like the other car in there, and $5k without taking the glass out. Hmm but yeah I'll ask him all about it next week and options.

The bad part is that the lsd may have to wait a little bit longer. However if I were to just "fix" the damage, the car will probably never change colour.

Also lawrence, is this a secret plan for me to get all the cool stuff done so you can buy it perfect in the future :P hahaha jk :P

ps. Car most probably will not be fixed by the meet, not going to risk it not being ready for the meet and also the paint when it isnt fully cured when flying up and down mountains :P

Ok I think I have decided that if I am going to change colour, I'm going to use the BMW Frozen Black (U91).

And yeah I have to speak the the guys again next week to give him the insurance claim number and grab a quote off him.

Lol

So with the respray, since it's base colour is silver, When you open the doors I'm guessing there will be areas where it will still be silver ? Have to wait till next week before I am free to contact the shop again because of work.
