Dead

hey when is the next meet up of toyos in canberra? I'd be keen to tag along.

We're dead. Deader than a doorknob. Deader than The Living End. Deader than death. We're symbolic of Tocau, in the sense that it's also dying / already dead. Our homes and front porches are now littered with young angsty teens who join with mum's camry, and then proceed to spread a river of emotional turmoil through car communities somewhat like cancer.

There are combined car meets out at the Museum every friday night that you are welcome to attend. Doesn't matter what type of car you have. We have ranges from GTP Falcons, RX7's, BMW's etc.

Unless you're going to be tuning every nuance in your suspension setup and taking this tuning to the track with you, then you are wasting money. On the street you'll notice sfa between a the Zero 2's and a change of springs / Koni Yellows as an example.

I think I've only seen two people on this site actually use the Zero 2's to their full extent, one being Superdave who tracks very often. All the other people that jumped on the Zero 2 bandwagon said they just wanted a better handling setup combined with the fact they have the ability to change the ride height. The funny point here is, everyone set their ride height and just left it...and never touched it...again. You can do the exact same thing with springs and shortened shocks...yay. Using the Koni's as an example here, it works out a lot cheaper than the above figures, and they're Koni's so they are high quality.

Note: I might add that yes, once upon a time they were only a few hundred dollars more expensive than a the above example (Koni's). Personally I can't blame the guys who took advantange of that, granted.

Thats crap, the Zero 2's are head and shoulders above kings/koni setup and im not even talking about track use, even for the short spirited bit of driving they would shine. When i got my set they cost me just under 3K, one of the best mods i ever did to my sportivo.

Yet no elabroation on 'why' they are better. That's an opinion. From a fanboi. In a twist of irony, it was a friend of yours that convinced me that coilovers on the street were a complete waste of money.

I'm a fan of the wheels, however not the tyre package. I realise you've probably selected the profile you have in order to retain the rolling diameter, but they look like they've been painted on they're that thin. Go up a profile next time you're getting tyres, your colon will thank you. I'd steer clear of Wangkang tyres in the future too.

I can go from 0 to 15cm in half an hour while watching Kate Beckinsale?

xoom is. Haw.

In regards to vehicle modifications, I suggest you make contact with the RTA. Your question is extremely broad. If it was more focused on what it is you are considering doing to your car as an example, you may get an actual answer out of someone on here, as opposed to this post, which I wrote out of boredom...and to pick on xoom. Although he doesn't really deserve it. He's a nice guy. Likes kebabs also, and HOW.

OK. Pardon my stupidity. I misread the post and thought you guys were referring to this bird:

I was wondering how on earth someone can drive with that bird flapping around the car.

You have to possess a special license to own and care for a Sulphur Crest. They aren't issued that easily either.

Mine was rather placid in the car on vet visits in the past. This is due to the fact he has a permanently damaged wing though. I personally have never made it a habit of taking him on drives, given that what we consider a minor accident means a fairly hectic one for him, and quite possibly resulting in him dying. They live for quite a long time, and he's in his mid 30's with another 30 to go, so I intend on keeping it that way. Besides, a car was what hit him in the first place. Poor bugger.

Absolutely gorgeous bird by the way. They're very much the 'Clowns' of the avian world.

It's a public holiday... the man won't reply to my texts.. too busy out there doing his stuff.. everyones out.. what is there to do!?¿ photoshop! not that great since i rushed doing the dragon but i must say.. i want a pink aurion! it'd be the boldest and most noticeable car in town~ ;)

hope everyone had a great Aus. Day :) toodles!!!

So the normal colour is gold? Nelson will keep an eye out for you then.

Does the Taco Meter go up to 6000rpm?

If so, yet again, that's a lot of Taco's:

dont tell any one but roger cordia is really me, please tell us what happen with the fully sick exa lol. looks very much like my cordia after it went thru 2 fences and landed in some ones bedroom....

So you look like a burn vicitm?

Please PM me your secrets to tuning your Cordia. I must know what your secrets are.

Leroy, Nelson has always been the stud. Rob can't pull chicks to save himself, haha, the douche.

Alright, well I thought I'd be serious for once. Myself and the girl:

The only way to settle the tension between Spillage and Simo this is through a Yu-gi-oh card game.

It's time to D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...

D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...D...DUEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's all a gee up. I never believe anything the Media say. Once I have confirmation from Top Gear I'll believe it.

i am also getting a little tired of the masses of posts, threads with no thought.

A wise man once said, "Let's get the **** out of here". That man was Tayles, and we did indeed move ourselves to another forum. Threads like this started popping up on here over a year ago. The members on these forums have completely different attitudes to that of the old crew. Ironically you seemed to be the only new guy (new to me that is) that ended up placing decent info on what you're doing with your car up on the site.

Why do I pop my head in still? It's all Nelson's fault. Blame him.

The whole purpose for drifting was/is to retain speed through corners on tight downhill sections only. This was proven a fair few times by lets say, Keiichi. On the other hand, anyone thinking that they can get around a proper race track quicker by drifting (especially factoring steep hill sections and the width of the track), would be quickly ridiculed by the same man.

Drifting in Australia is vastly different to the way it was concieved in Japan. They do it to be faster, yet only when it enables them to actually 'be' faster. We seem to do it just to look...cool.

It has nothing to do with sidewall flex at that profile. If anything, the right amount of sidewall flex will actually aid in steering response. You are understeering because the compound is most likely the same used in making thongs.

This is like a long, scary walk down a dark countryside path with Michael Jackson clones following me, hitting me in the head with hammers filled with ****.

Needs more 4AG 20v Blacktop. Buy the one that's for sale on here. The Takumi spec one.

I wouldn't have said "arrest" as much, but perhaps something along the lines of:

"Cuff and beat me visciously, gigitty gigitty alrighttttttt."

Well, you get the idea.

i rekon if someone had actually said something along those lines we would of given them a good backhand...

Well, you get the idea.

Of late I have figured out what the best handling modification is.

Steps:

1. Sell Sportivo

2. Buy something like an EK Type R Civic (purpose built)

However, I like my Sportivo, so I opted for a less extreme approach, and just bought Koni Yellow's with Lovells springs. The weigh distribution is awful in the Corolla hatch from a performance perspective, so factor this in when tuning the rebound.

Big shout goes out to Superdave, who has become 'The Data Collector' in my eyes. Cheers for heading to the track so often man (and winning mind you). Your balls are bigger than mine that's for sure.

Un-breakable my butt

They look like my lenso RC2's

Advans though. Big big difference.
