  2. At about 8:10pm~ I think I saw Silver-Aurion turning right at the IGA round-a-bout in Roxy...
  3. Awww come on :) I will get cake!! There are a few birthdays in Feb so I'd say there will be a cake... That reminds me, we have to organise a cake, don't we ;)*wink wink nudge nudge* And I wonder if we can get the One Tree Hill hotel to set aside some parking for us, as there was very little last time we went. Heheh yes, yes we do. Kenpo makes the third birthday of the month... That's a great idea, we'll have to ask them about that too. You keen for a run out to Lake Eppalock one night/Saturday or Sunday? If we do it on the weekend we could check out the route again and then other potential photo locations :D Well, I wasn't planning on doing anything for my Birthday. So I will let you know closer to the date... been 7 days a week at work lately
  4. 27th of Feb is my birthday guys, so I highly doubt this will be a yes from me..
  5. Of course not! Everybody is welcome to come If anything, we want more people to show up

      That would have been great to see

  7. Count me in for the Victorians. The drive up to QLD is going to drain my life, but I can't wait.
  8. The wheel size of 225/50R17 or 245/45R17, will not only be noticeably smaller in size compared to the stocks, but you'll end up driving slower then what the speedo will be reading.
  9. Yea, as soon as I get the money for it.. Not yet man, trying to get this car and mine sorted out for now. Plus, the guy just went to Sydney. I'll be asking him in a couple weeks to do it.
  10. For some reason I thought next week was the 21st? But hey, I have to leave the house at 6am for work tomorrow.. glad I didn't go anyway :P
  11. Bad News: Victoria Police did not accept me... Good News: It now means I can come to the Yearly meet. xD

      sad news man. hope you do get it though

  12. I love Ip Man. All martial arts movies are a 10/10 in my eyes.
  13. I want the Eyelids... Could you PM me the total price inc. shipping to Melb?
  14. Can't make it tonight man. I've got my brother's 18th party here at home..
  15. I have no idea why it isn't allowed. I just know it's not. You've made me curious though.. next time I see a Police Officer, I'll be sure to ask them. This was discussed to a great extent on the automotive section on the whirlpool forums. Try and search for that thread. It has a lot of info. Is this the thread you speak of? Well someone says that it is illegal, but everyone does it. Everyone else just gives their personal opinion...

  17. No need to be sorry. But yes, I will be using the no shoes and p plates to my advantage if he says anything. I have photos so he can't deny it.
  18. I remember a couple years back when I was taking the train home late in the evening, and some random drunk ran up to me and just yelled, "TAXI DRIVER'S ARE F#@%ING CRAZY MAN." Ever since that day, I've realised he was telling the truth, hahaha. I had a think about what he was telling me and I remember him saying 'the black will look good with your black windows.' So I would assume it would have been the second set of those pictures. Will be calling up a few places today to see if I can get a R/H headlight, the impact from the hit caused it to crack from the inside.. as shown in the photo's I put up before. But hey, here it is again. Edit: Holy crap these photos are huge. Sorry about that guys.
  19. Works both ways :P I know some people.. The guy offered me these wheels and tyres for $1800. Can't remember which one of these it was though.. http://wheelworx.com.au/stock_wheels/20+/large/image008.jpg http://wheelworx.com.au/stock_wheels/20+/large/image010.jpg Dad doesn't want to pay almost 3 grand for full insurance, and is too lazy to do 3rd party. I'm spending my money on mods :P I guess this was a wakeup call to get off my backside and do something about it.
  20. That's a nice clean looking car Wanga. Welcome to the Club and best of luck with all the future mods ;)
  21. A couple months back, I ordered the K&N Typhoon kit and had it installed withing 3 hours of it arriving to my door. I didn't take any photos during it but I went out to take one now.. After the K&N Typhoon, I wanted to get a matt black vinyl to cover my roof. We started from the middle of the roof and spread the vinyl out towards the front first. It all went well till the curve/dip where the vinyl started to crease. The guy said he was sorry and said he would get the right vinyl next time. Which still hasn't arrived according to him. That's a mod that is delayed now too. Whilst changing my brakes 2 weeks ago, I told my uncle that I needed new tyres cause the tread on the stock ones were -20%.. Fun to drive, but not safe. Anyway, he told me he had some wheels sitting in the workshop and told me I could use em for free. Got them on the car and well, they're probably kinda small. Stocks are 215/60/R16 and these ones are 235/40/R18. I didn't take a photo of them when they were dirty, really dirty might I add. But I took a photo of one of them just now, and this is what they look like. ..yes they are chrome, but they were free and only temporary :P Next in line was the Ultra Racing front strut bar. It cost me $235 from memory and only took 3 days to arrive.. that was installed almost straight away :P Now here comes the pain. I know I am going to be changing my body kit and all, but I didn't want this to happen.. I had 3 other people with me in the car and was parked on the side of Sydney Rd and waiting for the cars to pass me from the right so that I can drive out. After waiting a few minutes I saw a taxi, and behind that taxi was nothing. As soon as the taxi passed me, I checked behind me again just in case and saw nothing. I proceed to drive out of the parking spot and *bang* I hit some old vintage car just before his wheel arch. The guy was on his P's and was born in 1976... no p plates up and was driving bare foot. He wasn't insured and told him that I wasn't either. We got each other's details and just left. Mind you I was still in my suit after my Selection Panel Interview for the Victoria Police. If he tries to do something fishy, I have photos of his car with no P plates and a photo of him with no shoes on. xD Aside from all this. I have tinted my windows.. changed the interior door lights and dome light to blue LED's. The map reading lights and the parker lights to white LED's. I've also just changed my low beams to 6000k HID's. I think that's all, for now.
  22. I wish man. But hey, one thing I haven't added yet are the free chrome wheels I now have.. Are you being sarcastic? Hard to tell on the forums .. Anyway, good stuff man. Car looks great and I think if you have the kit on you will possibly be the first person here to do the whole kit on a non-trd Aurion. Maybe should have bought rims first? But each to their own B) I've got a set of 18's at the moment. Once I get the kit on, I will be getting a set of 20's ;) The problem is, it's all fibreglass. Once the kit is actually sitting on the car, it will crack in many many areas. They will need to be filled, fixed and the rest of all that stuff.. I wont trust somebody else doing this kit once I get to that point. It's not my panel beater that is going to do it anyway, it's a specialist in the industry. In fact, out of 150 cars for a car show a couple years back, the monaro he had worked on came in 2nd. He lost 1st place because he had 150,000km on the dash, where as the other guy had much lower k's. If I go with him, I'm promised a 100% job, and he is a friend to a friend so yea.. As for selling the kit? Not a chance. If any one of you guys had a look at the kit in person, you'd wish me good luck and walk away. The rear bumper is actually short. I needed to take off the muffler just so that the rear bumper could sit on the car. So if I was to fit this kit on the car, I would need to drive to an exhaust place straight after I'm done with the fibreglass guy, and get a custom exhaust done to fit in the gaps given in the TRD rear bumper. Price wise. It is honestly not worth it... I'm still 19, and as you all know at a young age money is not much of a factor to think about, but man oh man is this costing a sh!t load of money. Plus, according to VF-X, a genuine TRD bodykit from Toyota would probably cost me less.. If anyone is actually thinking about putting a TRD Aurion kit on a non-TRD Aurion, please don't buy it from Thailand..
