I guess the phrase I'm looking for is "sleeping around" rather then hookers....not that there is any need to search, I know where they all are. My clients use to talk about it all the time, bloody hell. BTW I'm not a hooker lol. If your from HK or speak cantonese then its a very familiar phrase. "I don't smoke, don't drink, don't gamble and also do not sleep around" Not that there is anything wrong with all that... :D Simple things such as bringing your lunch instead of eating out will save you quite a bit of money each week. Petrol is given, I don't see the point in complaining as it doesn't really change anything.

Now if only the public transporti system became more efficient. Maybe thats why I'm not keen on going to cruises that often...petrol is expensive. But you gotta pay to play right?? My missus has no problems with me modifying my car etc....I don't smoke, drink, gamble or search for hookers.....Gotta spend my money somewhere :D

So is it a good thing that your engine developed this problem?? :D

4efte??

I think even most petrol stations stock universal replacement petrol caps. Or just hunt around petrol stations and tell them you lost it and keep searching until you find one that has the same one as yours....

Hopefully I not making you worry too much, I was reading through 9thgen once and one guy had a similiar issue and he ended up rebuilding is S/C. Either way it could be an expensive excercise.

Whinging does help to an extent I suppose... Public transport is the reason why I drive, and the place that I'm working at does not have access to public transport

Must of got it confused then The ascent sport had front power windows then.

I think the front power windows were on the facelift model ascents. The ascent sport came with all four power windows, not the dodgy aftermarket one too!! All zze122/3 corollas came with disc brakes, ventailated fronts only.

It was quite a new magna though, 05 I think. Guess what though, it has lowered springs, chromies and a cannon exhaust. I wonder who they are going to believe in the accident report :D

A bit of a toughie this one. Generally I would stick with one high quality sub rather then two high quality subs. No two speakers sound the same and they might work against each other. I don't know much about your current eclipse sub. But if its anywhere near the Boston Acoustics G5 or IDQ(MAX?) range of speakers then I'm pretty sure its all the quality and base you need. Anything higher really is following the law of diminishing return.

Some auction places are dodgy though, just gotta be careful. My family usually goes to the pickles auction near kingsgrove when we are hunting for 2nd hand cars, and sometimes you can really really pick up a bargain!! Just don't get caught up with the whole auction thing or you could end up paying more and wasting your time. We got a car for $23,500, that would've costed $36-39K on the market. The NRMA inspection report didn't report anything, and the RTA checked it out cause they were worried as to why it went for that price. We drove that car for about 5 years and got it traded in for $21K, when it was time for a new vehicle!

except getting the PFC to work. But the americans have the hydra, I don't think europe has anything at this stage.

What car you got btw?? Modern day cat converters are quite free flowing, with close to zero restriction. Most of the restiction that comes from an exhaust is from the pipe diameter, not really the packing that it holds. Better off saving your money and maybe getting your headers ported.

Thats why researchers must study ethics, :( . Don't want to get caught in a scandel where your results are fudged....

meh, any device that is used to perform a measurement usually needs to be calibrated to ensure an accurate reading. Results can only be comparable if testing conditions are exactly the same and the procedure that was used, or if there are variations they are within the error that is expected. I still laugh at those pod filter test though. " And the <INSERT BRAND HERE> is the best performing filter beating the average by 1kw " Quite a good read as well Thanks for sharing

Which fighter jet is that?? I saw the vid where it was the bugatti veyron Vs the eurofighter?? Quite close given the conditions. Fastest Car I've Sat in Ra65 Celica with a boosted 1ggte, that thing is nuts. Fastest Car I've driven My sportivo Easiest vehicle to drive Honda CRV Slowest A beat up old hiace that needed a new diff and a serious tune up, it struggled to get past 60km/h!!

Now that is reassuring to hear, DAMN me and my pessimistic nature lol

You'll have some fitment issues, well thats what I encountered anyway. With the K&N, not sure about the drift filter, it fits quite easily in comparison. Unless your chasing every single last kw, there is not much of a point trying to find out which one performs best, not much between them anyway. This is on the CES CAI, I think most CAI are similiar. If you ask me how they sound, thats a totally different story. The K&N filter sings and has a slightly higher pitched induction noise, and the apexi just roars and is louder in general (IMO sounds better).

Insurance just called up and said that other guy is trying to make me liable for the damages of the accident. I called up the police and said they still haven't come up with a final outcome with the accident at this stage, but the way its looking 'I should be fine, and the other guy should be getting a ticket'. I think he will be getting a ticket for reckless/negligent driving, the fiesta driver said its all his fault with the statement that the police took down. He didn't leave much room while changing lanes lol But I'm still a bit worried, being a pessimistic person and all.

what rpm's do you let the clutch off at?? I usually take off at a slightly higher rpm to avoid stalling it

Just got confirmation from the police officer that the other guy is clearly at fault, there was a chance that I could've been the cause of the accident. But the magna driver is getting a ticket, double demerits as well yikes. Car will be towed tomorrow to an assessment centre and then probably to my preferred repairer....now I can sleep properly tonight.

The police still haven't gotten back to me with the event #. Hope to bring it to the inspection centre this monday, depending on how booked out they are. Will be ringing the cops sunday morning and then the insurance after that. I'm with NRMA, so usually after the inspection I book a time with the repairers (usually I drop it off the same day).....unless of course the car is written off, won't know until the inspection.

well just to clafiry a little bit more, the magna clipped the fiesta....not me lol Because I was in a FWD car, I couldn't do a takumi and dorifto my way out to safety. Crappy FWD Corollas :D

Just came back from a chinese doctor/physio Got some acupuncture done and help me relocate two of my vertabrate!! Have to go back for a few more times, but nothing major. According to statistics, a regular driver will have one major accident every 7 years. This is my seventh year of driving....covering about 15,000 km/year on average
