  1. Nice car buddy, I suggest u do wat I did n body colour the door handles, side moulds and rear garnish... looks the goods trust me ;) :)
  2. Firstly it is easier if you remove the battery first. the Snorkel is attached in three places where it connects into the airbox itself, and also by two screws/bolts. Start by removing the two screws/bolts that attach it to the chassis. To remove it from the airbox - open up the airbox by releasing the spring clips and remove the air filter. You will now see the snorkel - you should be able to see the plastic lugs that hold it in - squeeze the sides of the snorkel in and push it out - it comes free without too much effort. Then it is a matter of massaging the whole snaking intake runner free - from memory pull it forward towards the front of the car. As I mentioned in the previous tread if you want to leave the snorkel there - just disconnect it from the airbox - make sure you push it clear so as not to obstruct the airbox opening (that way you can just push it back to return it to stock). sorry I don't have pic's but it is really simple when you have the car in front of you and you don't have to be mechanically minded to do it. I have done a few so PM me if you want help Or if you have a 1ZZ just remove the intake resonator (the white box), this alone increases power and response slightly as it removes the bottleneck as well as allowing cool air from where the foggies are to enter the intake ;)
  3. What a crock! I'm sure some whiz bang coder somewhere will hack this sooner or later (if they haven't already)... Microsoft is just asking for it!
  4. Hey all I'd thought I would start a thread on handy Windows Hints and Tips as we all know good old Bill Gates couldn't get everything right. OK I'll start it off: If you get that annoying welcome screen before you go into Windows where you have to click on an account even though you only have one user then this is how to get rid of it (o by the way it is to do with the .Net framework which creates a hidden user) Click Here
  5. Looking top notch mate!!! ;) :) Easily one of the hottest pre-facelift ZZE Corolla's around!

  9. Unofficially: *Computer and audio visual technician (for the family and work mates ) *Know a lot of information about cars (esp. ZZE Corolla's (as do most people on here) as well as Holden's). But I'm not the best at hands on modifications (I'm a bit unco. ) although I've done a few. Officially: *Studying part time uni (B. Business - Accounting and Finance) *Working full time for an accounting firm. I specialise in Business Owner and Corporate Assurance Services at the moment although hope to move into Corporate Finance or Wealth Investment Management in the future.
  10. No thanks I'd rather the 3.5L V6 Corolla (2GR-FE) Much more potential... I would buy it and swap the components from the 2GR-FZE and throw in a turbocharger... Like what everyone useto do with the 4A-GZE's :) :) :) ;) ;) ;)

    ps3

    hang on.. confirm for me. 1 PS2 or x-box with 20 games? or 1 PS2 with 20 games or x-box with 20 games??? Either one with 20 games and you get the PS3 for $699. thats what there offering at Frankston EB Games, im guessing the other stores are the same. For a PS2 with 20 games you would have probably originally paid $400 for the PS2 and $800 for the games (if not more), bringing it to around $1200... and your happy that they'll knock $300 of the price??? WTF
  14. Lucky your alright man. My mum did something similar once. She was driving and was trying to get rid of a huge bush fly looking thing and ended up on the other side of the road n hit a car. Thank *** it was a 4WD rodeo ute n we bounced off his front wheel n tyre (no damage to his car but a bit to hers (which is now my car)). Moral is concentrate on the road!
  15. in the ek form it doesnt not sure bout the newer ones but i would think it have a black k20a The new ones
  16. I prefer the american Civic Si (either the coupe or sedan)... do they have the same engine as the Type R???
  17. I've got a K&N Panel Filter (2nd hand for $50) on an auto 1ZZ. At first I didn't notice much difference, but after a while (the ECU must have adjusted) and removing the intake res. I noticed a more free flowing feeling as well as a substantial increase in mid range pull (around 4000rpm is awesome) plus u get a bit nicer intake noise. I've heard ppl say that these oil filters can block the MAF sensor but I reckon its the same as getting an SRI or CAI with a conical oiled filter (but I plan to clean the MAF once every yr anyway so hopefully no damage will be done). On another note I've heard alot of ppl boasting about the ITG panel filter (which is the dry type) except for the fact that they have to cut it a bit to fit or put all there weight on it to get it to sit in there. Also u should note that there are two types of TRD panel filters, one of which is dry one of which is oiled. So in conclusion there is a large variety available so I reckon just get watever u can 2nd hand cheap as they r all prob. better than stock. O n keep searching on the forum as there are a few other posts dealing with this issue.
  18. I usually do not agree with Jusge Judy's methods, but on this occasion she had every right to lay it all down on the b!tch!!! Go Judge Judy
  19. Hey Klara put around 4-6 boxes of beer in ur boot (or somethin that weighs alot in ur boot for a few weeeks that should even it out)... Also may I ask how much u payed for pedders lowering (u can PM if u dont wanna post it)... Thanks :)
