  1. Awww guess I'm not the first. I still haven't seen one around here though :P Yeah I made sure of it! That condensation problem is scary as! I even went for a carwash on the first day I finished On an unrelated note, I sometimes see you around St Albans; mostly around Stradbroke Dr. To me and my brother, you're famous- the green stivo!!! ^_^
  2. It's been a while guys! My latest mod I think this may be a first for ZREs (or not...I don't know but I haven't found any pics anywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong!) But anyway, my latest creation... The quad projector retrofit! Specs: Projectors Stock Xenon D4S projectors (6000K Morimoto XenGreen D4S bulbs) powered by stock ballasts FX-R 3.0 Bi Xenon D2S projectors (6000K Morimoto D2S bulbs) powered by Morimoto 3Five (35W) ballasts Halos Outter - 80mm White XBALEDangel eyes around Iris shroud Inner - 100mm CCFL Morimoto rings Extra: Audi-style LED Strips I purchased all the goodies from www.theretrofitsource.com (These guys are awesome). Shipping took about a week and a bit. Altogether, the project took me about 3 weeks due to having to order in some missing components. The actual time I spent on modding my headlamps would have been 3 long afternoons. But yeah, due to my negligence, I had 3 weeks of downtime :( This mod was pretty fun to do (well for me anyway :P). Lots of drilling and cutting and gluing and all that etc. There are a few things that I would have done differently in hindsight but ohwells, there may just be a next time for that hehe
  3. Thanks for the input guys! And sorry for the really delayed reply and digging up an old thread! I've been getting around 600km on my ZR now which includes city driving and short trips My brother's Sportivo still only gets around the 550km mark though When you guys say you get around 700km, is that 90% cruising on the freeway or is it a mixture or everything?
  4. I've read around that some people have been able to get about 700km on a full tank on their Corollas. I've only been able to get a maximum of about 550km Forgive me if it's a stupid question but could somebody explain to me how to increase fuel efficiency I drive a manual 2010 Corolla Levin ZR ^_^
  5. Thanks guys. I know it's my fault so I will pay for the repairs. I just wanted to know how much the repair should be costing as AAMI said if it's less than the excess ($950), that's all I'll have to pay. I also think it'll cost around the $300 mark but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
  6. Yeah I have comprehensive insurance with AAMI but because I'm under 25, it will be $950. I've contacted AAMI and they said in the case that the cost to repair is less than my excess, I will be charged accordingly. How much do you think it will cost to fix his car?
  7. I was trying to get through into a slip lane and bumped the guy's car just as I got through. The bump left a scratch above his rear wheel. The space was small but I thought I could get through (being in a hurry to get somewhere didn't help either). Regardless, I know it was my fault. From what I can see, I don't think fixing this will cost half as much as my excess but I may be wrong. I'm under 25, the excess will be ridiculous (~$950) I wanted to pay for damages out-of-pocket but he insisted on getting AAMI involved. I'm sure panelbeaters and wreckers will certainly up their price to try and make as much as they can from the insurance company. My car seems to have it worse since on top of it being scratched, it's also slightly dented. What do you guys think? Here's a photo of the damage on the guy's scratched Hyundai Getz.
  8. Thanks man! Yeah definitely got plans to lower it. It'll probably be a while though :(
  9. Yeah I had an uncle help me out. It took us about 6 hours to prep and paint them all! Crazyyy but so worth it :D
  10. Haven't posted in ages since I've been overseas. I came back about a month ago and just did a few more small things. Got my hands on a pretty sweet camera but I suck at using it lolol so sorry about that :P What do you guys think? :)
  11. I guess since I have no use for it, I might as well sell it hey? What's your offer? :P was just asking didn't say i would buy it LAWL but if i happen to want it i'll let u know ;) pictures? :) LOL! Ahhh, fair enough. I'll post up some more pictures when I come back home :)
  12. I guess since I have no use for it, I might as well sell it hey? What's your offer? :P
  13. Thanks man! Yeah, I'm pretty damn lucky. The new emblem and wind deflectors finally came in! Wooooo! I'm still starting small :P Car's a little dirty :( Damn bird crap is annoying!
