  1. Next time you're at the car wash Phat jam the hose right in the caliper and just flush it. I've found that works, sometimes.
  2. Everything is opinionated. In my view nothing is ever the 'best'. I'm sure the CES unit does what it says, but in turn the stock system does a good enough job as it is. I speak for other people on this I guess when I say that I myself don't need to fork out copious amounts of money to replace something that already does a decent job. If you have the money, spend it I guess. The ironic thing is I do have the money, and even then choose not to spend it. That's just my 'opinion' though. Anyway, sorry Gord. Maybe picking up a stock muffler would be good for you. At least you know what you're getting then.
  3. Well Id go the Aurion. With your choices, I agree the SS is nice.... but 20L per 100km, that is going to cost you a FORTUNE to run. The falcon, just because taxi's use them doesnt mean anything, Camrys of the past have a proven track record for lasting in excess of 300,000kms when properly maintained, but werent used for taxi's. While the similar year Falcons etc didnt last that long - they use the Falcon then sell them before any major problems show up, consumers dont have this luxury for the most part. The Aurion has refinement, more power then you practically need, the best fuel consumption in its class (I dont want LPG = Slower car) and if previous Toyotas are anything to go by, will be a dependable car. Just my opinion. EDIT: And as for the fuel consumption figures, Ive read other reviews which say the Aurion does get under 10L... its not suprising Wheels would discredit the Aurion, its more then obvious the affliliation they have with Holden. The 250 based block has always been a winner when it comes to durability in Falcons. They are exceptional when it comes to durability (rest of the car aside lol). It is also important to note that the cold is the main killer of motors. Taxis are running nearly constantly all day etc etc, 800,000km's later they are still fine (these are falcons based in the Canberra Cab Company, my mate is a bus. analyst for them). I try and not turn off my car unless I absolutley have to most of the time. It is definently no suprise with Wheels and their opinion of the Aurion. Toyota didn't empty copious amounts of funding into their little piggy pank.
  4. Kings have come a long way. I remember the days where Lovells just totally set the standard in spring manufacturing and Kings were regarded as total rubbish. Bloody good now though. Lovell's and Kings ftw in terms of bang for buck brands.
  5. Happy birthday bexter ;)
  6. I feel really bad for Tom, Jase. In fact I wouldn't mind going down to Carmate with a ball-pane hammer on his behalf.
  7. i dont believe that for a second. everyone knows that the speedo is nowhere near accurate who said it was measured with the speedo...... He's got you there mick I'll pay you out today or tomorrow, or whenever we meet baahahahaha
  8. Given that Billy returned to Australia in 2005 with his solo tour (that yours truely went to :D) i'd say he'd want to come back. He said he'd neglected Australia for 7 years and owed it to us so lol.

  15. Suprisingly enough his voice is very deep, eerie and bridging on insanity. I kept him at bay for the past few months but he has slipped back into my psychosis with incoherent ramblings to the style of, 'You neeeeeeed me Rob, don't think that you don't because you DO. I'm the creative force behind the Rolla, and you know that...it's time to come home Rob...muaaahahahaha...' As Dylan said though, he's nothing but a talked up choir boy. *'Rob's gay'* - Nelson Shut up Nelson, get out of my post.
  16. Buying black hair dye only to realise that it's BLUE BLACK!!! ARRRRRAWWRRRRRRRRAAAARARARARRARA!!!
  17. "Hi I'm Heywood Jakillme! I'm a Wheels magazine reviewer and well, I didn't like the Sportivo Corolla. Why? Well, I just can't drive it properly because I'm an inept retarded monkey with the motor skills of a potato. I'm sure you understand!'

  21. I'm in Albury - more than welcome to meet up at my dismal place, or nearby. BYO BBQ - i dont have one! WODONGA FTW! We'll keep in touch, a workmate of mine (Sarah Scammell...know her? lol) is from Albury. We might head down there. Contrary to what people think of Albury it's actually considered a city lol, and yes there are things to do there. Don't be so harsh on yourself haha.
