  1. can all the QLD guys shoot me an email to corey@cnorth.com.au so we can get organised. Corey
  2. No it's not.................................................................................................................................................. but then Audis which are FWD or AWD (depending on model) are regularly compared with Mercedes and/or BMW both RWD and are seen by most to be direct rivals in certain classes (eg A4, C-class and 3-series) The TRD Aurion will be compared with the FPV and HSV items whether we or Toyota like it or not for the simple facts that i) it's a large car ii) it's from a the company's performance arm iii) it's made in Australia sorry to burst your bubble but its NOT AWD and it IS FWD so at best it will be an alternative to FPV/HSV not a replacement...
  3. lets just make it a new condition of the buy/sell section you must have a state tag at the start of the topic?
  4. i think i might give it a miss tonight, not feeling that great.

  7. yeah, the lancer driver was a good kid. came out and apologized and we swopped details. but pisses me off that the damage to my car will cost more then his. should have got out and even'd up the playing feild...saw these last night its a real shame when sombodys car gets messed up.

    HID

    the reason they are a defect is because they are not self leveling, so if you load up your car you might "dazzel" other motorists, factory fitted HID's are self leveling.
  10. what are you after exactly? emanger you can get them 2nd hand fro around the $300 mark now, add few hundred for fitting/tune
  11. you have nothing to worry about unless you start driving through water thats 15-20cm deep

    VVTL-I vs VTEC

    VVTL-I is a better system then VTEC, I-VTEC would be a better comparison

  14. I have unbaned his original account, All he had to do was ask for the ban to be lifted and i would have done just that, there was no need to try and decieve people into thinking he was sombody that he is not. So its up to him weather he chooses to behave or not. Corey
  15. Unless you got a turbo, nothing is spooling , as for the midrange feeling like another lift, well nothing feels like lift. I know your'e over the moon with it, everyone is at the start because noise is VERY VERY deceptive. What i am referring to is if you see some old crappy v8...loud as shiet...when youre inside it feels like youre flying, but when you look at it from the outside you laugh cause the old heap aint moving nowhere....you get my drift dude. The only true test comes when you jump back in a stockie and realise where the difference is....the midrange you think you gain, is definetly lost at low range rpm up to 3000, and definetly at top rpm...infact someone did a test recently and it cost them a few bucks too...umm showing a negative something figure, but definetly negative. Its up to them to show the real results. You know who you are. I will stay out of it. To fix the rattles, you have to change the stock rubber mount holders to more solid units. Its a nice exhaust if you want to be heard, but as far as performance, it makes no difference, you go backwards. Not by much, nut you do go backwards. You want performance, then buy a $30 octane boost bottle, and show up on dyno day telling everyone your car kicks **** in stock form...hey Billy Boy $30 bucks worth for +4 kW or a few hundred for -4.... B) enuff said. Welcome back to the forums Lucio....nice to see you havn't changed a bit
