that would have been JQ00LZ

minor update/s:

DIY Restoration :D:D

Where is it going to be folks?

Hi mate, just wanted to share my past experience when it come to CAI.

I too own a 4AGE Smallport and found that the best CAI for it is the stock airbox with ducting going through the

bottom hole, into the guard.. Although before this is achieved, there is a big 'anti-drone' box in that near side guard that has to be removed.

I've tried using a pod filter instead of the airbox (still with a cold air feed) and i feel as if it doesn't compare to stock, the only gains

would have to be the 'Sound of Intake' lol. :) I hope this this helps, Good luck with you car

just use upper systems cleaner.. your local mechanic should have it. :)

nice meeting you guys tonight :)

Same here, good to meet some new members.. Was a bit of a ZRE/Aurion fest tonight... Oh yeah and one sexy GTi ;)

JRO11A Plates :D:D:D

Should i attempt to rebed the surface of the rotors with new pad material ? Like the procedure of 10 hard stops consecutively

best thing to do is first measure the thickness of the rotors.. if possible, have them Machined and deGlaze pad surface or replace with softer compound.. sorry for the delay in reply.

The pad compound may be to hard.. Therefore causing 'glazing' on the pad material and rotor face... Usually only happens under light breaking. Hope this helps :)

ohhhh man i cracked my headlight protectors today.. RIP :(

Very nice car man! You hardly see these going around especially a clean one like this. :)

Keep it up!

Thanks Jason :) haha I wish it was cleaner though lol!

Hey Folks,

I’m Jerome from Western Sydney, currently finishing my studies to be a Mechanic.. New to this, but been a proud Toyota Owner since Day One! With that said, I’d like to share to you all my Pride and Joy! And the journey we’ve had....

1992 Toyota Corolla AE93 Gti SeriesII

I know is old school and all but its my A to B to C car and I love it! I’ve had this car since March 2011 and previous to that I had an AE92 Ultima Seca. When I first purchased it suffered from a blown head gasket <_< . Fortunate enough I was able to fix it myself.. Unfortunate because 11 Months down the track it decided to blow the head gasket again, only this time between cylinders :(! It was unexpected and I wasn’t ready for a new car, so i decided to challenge myself and carry out a full Re-Build.. Cut the long story short.. Over late July and early August I’d been living in the workshop, LOL! Until on 25^th August 2012 she started.. I was Finished!!
