  1. sugar You're... 17? I seeeee... The age of innocence.
  2. 3 coats. The prick of a thing is, is that it dries darker. I've remedied this anyway by neatly stripping back the tint on the brake light section with a bit of metho and patience. Light comes through even better. Indicators are fine. Reverse is fine. If you're ever going this dark, you need led lights. Just like Sunny. PS: Meh... for $5 a can what can you expect really? lol (metho strips it right back anyway, so the lights aren't lost).
  3. Ok I went a bit overboard... The light still comes through fine. I'll be seeing tonight though whether or not I've crucified my tail lights hahahaha (I have stockies)
  4. I got the globes from Super Cheap Auto and I tell a lie, I just checked my bank account the globs cost me around $15. The price I saw must of been something else - sorry guys! All good dude. I'll be heading out there today to grab these and some tint spray (muahahaha)
  5. Hey hey hey... woa woa woa. Let's not get carried away here Tofu man! ...or should we?
  6. bits Sif. Pics or you don't have one (you have to have the corolla in the same photo to verify that it's you).
  7. Oooo... Dave. You rogue casanova you.
  8. Blue But she's now tainted... come on, do you really wanna go where trumpy left his signature? Lulz
  9. I would cut off my own arm, roast it, and eat it before I put ethanol in my car. Blame Micky and Jim Jim for giving me this mindset lol
  10. Alien (Yeah I wonder how much she cost)
  11. The first of the big milestones. Happy birthday mate.
  12. WRX's are also notorious for blowing ge****ts if there is too much power going through them. Mr Rigoli in Sydney however makes decent ge****ts that are near bulletproof. I'm not too sure whether a supra box would go in or not actually...could be an idea.
  13. I'll introduce him to a world of hurt if 'he' goes near her. He's such a freak. haha who the ***** is roger cordia LOL freak aye LOL i like freaks You'll love Nelson.
  14. "In the SCALES" Superdave is Super lol
  15. Azza I never look at this thread, apologies. Happy Birthday. I hope you got drunk... heaps. Pete. My fellow Red Dwarven compatriot. Cheers to you /raises beer
  16. You're missing the whole point of VVTLi and VTEC... The idea is to have a normal well-behaved engine below 6000RPM and then a suprising slap in the face of torque and power after 6000RPM. There is a normal/economy camshaft that makes your engine behave like a normal Corolla until around 5200RPM, then oil pressure builds and the engine engages the performance camshaft which is much more agressive and opens the valves wider and for longer periods of time. Hitting the high-cam is not ripping the guts out of it, it's designed to do that, and you aren't making excessive noise or pollution because the car has passed all ADR's so you are not a hoon either. If you want a lump of torque under 5000RPM like a V8, then buy a V8. If you want instant usable power between 2000 and 6000RPM then buy a turbo car. But if you want a car with 2 engines in 1, great fuel economy and a bit of fun whenever you want it, then stick with the VVTLi and don't whinge! instant usable power... turbo... should they be in the same sentence? maybe you should have said supercharged... its great and all to have lift and that extra kick.. but I don't see the point of having it kick in at 6000rpm... who revs the guts out of their stivos in every day driving? i know some people are lead foots and like to guzzle the fuel but in my sc rolla now and then i'll redline which is all good, i just think 6k is too high IMO 6k is an everyday achievable target to me really. Once you get used to a close ratio box and the gear ranges, everything else comes naturally. If I want to go fast, I throw it back a gear or two, tap the gas, clutch out and go for it. The gearboxes have always handled it fine (bar a few cases, which were just pure abuse). The key is keeping it above 6k when you shift, and to be honest, it's not as painful as it sounds.
  17. I'll introduce him to a world of hurt if 'he' goes near her. He's such a freak.
  18. Lotion (I like to apply a 'Liberal' amount when I go out in the sun, based on the fact that I'm whiter than the sheets in my bed...)
  19. If they do that to Jaderd's car I'll come up and bludgeon them with a frozen salmon. His car is always shmick. They did it to your car though Mr Hero? /grabs salmon
  20. Queanbeyan (use whereis.com.au if you have no clue)
  21. Ive been thinking seriously bout getting a rear skirt, why you say dont get toyota to install and paint it? Cheers Because they're Toyota. They'll take it to the cheapest paint shop they can find, and then charge you over the hill for it most likely. You may as well pick out the paint shop YOU want and get them to do it. I love Toyota as a manufacturer. Some their dealers are worse than the Russian Mafia though unfortunately.
