  1. slightly OT, but still relevant.

    razor_raef - did you have any problems mounting the 6" splits in the doors? did you cut any holes or could you use what came out of the factory to mount the speakers?

    cheers in advance

  2. it is a easy process

    you need to remove the black plastic around the dials, a/c controls and the 2 centre air vents. the whole thing is held in by 4 screws.

    you need to remove the plastic surrounding the stereo to get to 2 screws and then there are 2 screws in where the dials are. make sure you disconnect the hazard lights button and power mirror controls (and a the dash clock if you have one)

    then there will be 4 screws holding the dials in place. undo them. you should now be able to access the back of the dials and change the lights.

    the size of lights you are looking for are known as T10. most car shops have them, but added rice value goto www.autojoy.com.au (there in parra), they have good selection of rice lights

    any questions, you know how to contact me :)

  3. If get less than 600km per tank i'm spewin'! FYI, i drive a manual

    things i do to get this:

    one a week, do a long steady freeway drive (about 40 -80 km)

    fill will 95 octane (caltex vortex works fine)

    change oil every ~8000k'm plus filter (nothing flash, just something that does the job)

    drive like old man where you can, only lay it down if I need to or on at a random moment :)

    plugs, leeds and full injector treatment (where they take them out and clean) - this should be done every 100,000 along with the t/belt. This is costly, but well worth it IMO

    i've done the above recently and can say that car runs better, smoother and get better fuel range per tank. the more freeway driving I do, the better range I get off each tank. just recenlty, got 850km off one full tank, a/c on all the time.

    anything is possible, if you put your mind to it :)

  5. morning all.

    I've got a problem where my clutch pedal falls right into the carpet and stays there. I can flick it back into place with my foot and the clutch will engage.

    Things i've looked over so far:

    - had a look at clutch fluid levels in engine bay and topped it up

    - looked under car to see if there are any fluid leaks and drips where I parked the car, nothing

    any suggestions would be great....and thanks in advance

  6. you can buy kits from autobarn that do OEM (toyota) > Maker of your Head-deck ( kenwood, sony....) it makes for a very fast install if you wanna use the stock speakers. ~$40 from memory and well worth it for the sparky challenged

  7. where are you based?

    I have had no problems with terry shields service to date. The parts I required (new A/C compressor, alternator, sparks and leads) came to $1500 fitted. some might say that is a bit rich, but if you have ever tried to change the rear 3 sparks in my car they would understand its a bitch of a job!

    if you do go there, make sure you speak to judy, she is the most reasonable and take notes on what you say.

  8. Hey Big Pete,
