Do u you a Pre face or facelift corolla? never the less check out the c-one front bar. www.c-one.co.jp i'm still waiting for 2 more weeks and i can pay for it :D Only problem with this bar is its very expensive (approx. 1200AUS without paint), and you usually have to wait a minimum of 2months before u can get it (since they are usually made on the spot and shipped from Japan) Reason to it being so expensive cos its not fibreglass (it better not be otherwise im throwing it back to Japan) the whole c-one kit is fibreglass :( ew are you serious? i might not buy it no more <_< does anyone have the c-one facelift front bar? if it doesnt fit 100% then i dont want it lol i mean $1300 for a fibreglass frontbar? i dont care if it is JDM i aint gna spend that much (unless it fits 100% no GAPS no HASSLEhoff) i mean i'd rather go to carmate and pay $300 - put up with their crap service, and mod the kit my self to make it fit. as for the first kit i saw it the other day driving to work (was a black corolla) and even in real life it's ugly. from the side it looks like a right handed triangle :P look, it's machined fibreglass so it's going to be as good as it gets. C-one isn't your back yard kit maker, they specifically made it to fit the car. It will fit 100%. You can't compare it to crappy 'car-mate' stuff. It ain't going to fit properly for sure. I was seriously thinking about going that way too. $3k delivered front lip, side-skirts, rear lip and spoiler. Lucky i snapped out of that wierd state of mind i was in. Yeah, that went through my mind too. I laugh at all these lancer's with the droid body kits, and wacked out looking spoilers. When I think about it, am I slowly becoming one of them? You need an intercooler for that front bar :D. Just pull your radiator down? Or rip one out of an older car and stick it in there? lol no one will be the wiser. It wont look nice with that all meshed off, well i think anyway.

I bet they make it look sh!t! I can imagine now, 18" chromies and as much 'bling' they can throw at the car until things start falling off. Guess I have to wait and see.

Not sure man, if anyone else is like me I have a pile of assignments up to my neck. But May's o.k. for me so there should be something coming up hopefully. The Dyno Day should be fun, come along if you want.

lol, that looks like a wrecker man.

im jealous makes me want to throw money at my car! :D

Anyone with CGU? My finance company works through CGU Insurance. How are they're guidelines with modifications?

With the dry filters it's possible that the dirty isn't filtered very well, and it's not good for engine. My friend went BMC aswell, said he felt better acceleration. But I don't believe it, sometimes when you spend money on something you tend to make yourself believe it's better when it really doesn't make a difference. Thinks he has 6-7kw more now, more like the guy at Autobarn talking crap.

damn that stivo rear skirt looks hot. Sucks the sedan stivo skirt doesn't look as sexy.

which kit are you going for? something custom?

hows the SRI sound?

thanks man..i'm actually contemplating getting a cannon..possibly a HKS one..hehe haha, just go 5" all the way lol. Would your car even move? haha

fooly shick

stuff folding man theres only 1 or 2 layers measuring around 1mm shielding you from smearing your crap all over your hands. I can't take that risk!

How many people wanted a GT500 after they watched Gone in 60 Seconds? I know me and another 20 people i know did lol.

Wait it out guys. Untill Vista is fully operational and most people have upgraded. It should be better to buy it then. Most people will probably have to upgrade they're rigs to run the resource hungry OS. I know I do lol.

You don't use a cannon muffler on these things (on the street) because your head would explode eventually. It's just a straight muffler (if you can call it a muffler) and coupling that with a motor that revs to 8000rpm you would scare the sh!t out of yourself and the few blocks around you lol. Racing? Sure it's awesome. Specifially the Buddyclub spec III, as you actually gain a lil' bit of power with this guy, rather than lose power through cheap design. If you have balls like Brian, then do it lol. He was happy with the Buddyclub. The stock sportivo muffler has a catch flap on it that engages when you hit 6,000rpm apparently. The CES muffler is an improved example of this. Porting the stock headers could be something to do as well :D The CAI, don't make much of a difference in performance, no point sweating over 1-3kw. Both the AEM (which i have) and TRD are very good. Makes the car more enjoyable to drive as it sounds way grunt-ier. exhaust wise, a cannon muffler ain't going to do much other than make you sound like a 'lancer loser.' Not much power gain either. You have to go cat-back or a whole system to get the most power. If your friend wants performance, best to stick with the original 16" stivo's or try find lighter rims. The 16" is the probably the best size to go for the stivo (performance wise). I'm pretty sure this is what most people on the forum will tell you. As this is what I have learnt, so far.

Both movies should be good! Reckon the Bourne Ultimatum will be a world-wide release? I forgot if the other two installments were. It might even leak onto the internet even earlier. But it's a movie you would save yourself for the big screen. Guaranteed '28 Weeks Later' will be out on dvd on the internet before it even reaches our shores.. btw. What do you guys/gals think of 'The GrindHouse' and 'Sunshine'?

WTF? WAAHAHAHAHAHAHA where was that taken? Looks like my dads old 84 Toyota Corona.

lol, this thread still pops up once in awhile..

and this one... WTF? You guys had 300 @ IMAX? We get all those gay doco's @ IMAX =(. I watched it 4 times in 3 days. Wednesday 11.59pm session @ Hoyts Highpoint. Thursday 9.10pm session @ Hoyts Broadmeadows. Friday @ my mates house. I never got over the fighting scenes. Only got bored near the end the 2nd and 3rd time. Freakin' awesome movie, I enjoyed 'Sin City' but loved 300, Frank Miller for President! haha

Arn't VTEC's the better? In my opinion I get a better kick out of a VTEC than a VVTL-I (e.g. Sportivo vs. a Prelude VTI-R). I think the S2000 is the best 4cylinder car at the moment, read that up somewhere..

Unofficially: If you name an actress, I can tell you which movie(s) they were naked or having sex in. Good at internet :D Officially: Console Jockey @ Caltex, know anything related to fuel. Studying Bachelor of Business Information Systems @ Deakin University (Can apply most computer languages, databases and web-page development). I am majoring in Accounting, so I can be a cool accountant (will help hide your monies) :D

I smoke in my car too, so far i have a burn mark on the roof, near the drivers side window, where i nicked the ash while trying to ash out the window. Back corolla mat got burnt from a lit butt. Also theres ash all over the car and it doesn't smell new anymore.. I banned smoking in the car 2 times.. always seem to have 'one last one.'

what about light blue mica, i reckon it's one of the weirdest colors looks kind of silver, but not.
