    Hahaha yea that was me today! What car where you in?

    I don't actually attend the uni, just catching up with a friend :)

    p.s this happened to me on the weekend :(

    I was in the silver Avensis, first drove past you when you stopped outside Epping Boys and then saw you driving up the road outside the gym when I was heading to a lecture. The car looks great mate, what did you get pulled for?

    My best friend is interested and maybe attending in his Mazda 3.

  3. If a stationary Highway Patrol (driver inside) doesn't pull you over, generally does it mean you are in the clear? Or can you expect a fine/will they just issue the fine through the mail?

  4. Hi all, an update on some new additions to the Vensis =)

    Dad managed to pick up few 6000k HID+Projector sets and a pair of second-hand foggies whilst in Hong Kong so it was time to work on the headlights and the front! The foggies came from a member of an Ipsum and Picnic club based in Hong Kong. We also bought an UltraRacing front strut bar off Ebay.

    • What we did was sprayed the headlight surrounds high-heat matte black and retrofitted HID projectors into the existing headlight base. We calibrated the projectors so we weren't blind everyone like a tool. We had originally want to buy aftermarket CCFL HID projector headlights from Japan but turns out they are extremely rare and the only set we've seen on Yahoo auction were out of our reach.

    • The foggies were a simple bolt on after the black plastic covers were removed. Now looking to get some HB4 6000k LED's to put in it.

    • The UltraRacing strut bar took around 30mins to install. Took us a little while to get how to reattach the rainwater-catchment-thingo with the strut bar already in place...The result was far better handling through corners and bends. Stability is dramatically increased which is great for a higher riding car like ours. Although the front is now a bit more bumpy than usual, the trade-off and overall feel of the car is worth it.

    The Vensis is now nearing 47000km/50000km, looking at getting a wheel alignment, balancing and rotating in the coming week(s). I am considering going into Toyota for the 50000km service, althought I've just been self-servicing for the last 3 years so what do you guys think?

  5. Hey guys,

    I have no experience in purchasing the tuning orientated parts so I have no idea whether $140~ AUD for an Ultra Racing front strut bar (delivered) off eBay is considered a good buy. Does this seller seem legit? http://myworld.ebay....sid=p4340.l2559

    I know there's a UR Australia site (http://www.ultraracingaustralia.com.au) and a list of authorised dealers but the URAus doesn't have Avensis parts listed underneath its 'UR Products' unlike its main site so I'm guessing the Avensis parts are not stocked here hence I am sourcing off eBay.

    EDIT: Sorry if this is off-topic, but I consider myself fairly stupid in technical side of things (hence this stupid question) but I also didn't wanna spam/spawn a new thread.
