good to see i inspire people lol! havent seen you around though possibly cause i work all day and night

all the tps does is give a signal to the ecu in relation to engine load it usually pronounces itself by causing a flat spot at a certain throttle position. is it chewing alot of fuel? check things like the vaccume hose off the fuel pressure regulator if the inside of the hose is wet its stuffed try clamp off the fuel line to the cold start injector its in the center of the plenum by memory or clamp the return line while idling for a few seconds

Low pressure injectors (i.e. injectors that supply fuel into the intake ports) aren't normally that loud. I know direct injection injectors (like the ones in my wife's MKV GTI) are pretty loud. The Ultima hatch she had before that (ZZE-122R - 1ZZ-FE) had quiet injectors - same injection into intake port setup as your 2ZR-FE. Get it checked mate, just in case a lash adjuster has bunged itself in and causes consequential damage. I reckon when Toyota bring out the Valvematic engines to replace the current VVT-i series, they'll go direct injection. Still about 3 years away I'd say... itll be interesting to see. if you want noisey injectors try the nissan rb30 theyre really loud

i service mine every 5000 oil and filter but 10000 is fine if theyre putting 5000 on the sticker it probably means oil only its up to you. if you take it back in 5000 klms get them to change the filter otherwise the oil change is pretty much a waste

Not at all and im on stock shocks atm. im only running 35 mm drop and i can barely get out of my driveway without bottoming out and yes thats even with me angling it as hard as i can get it lol! Do you live on a cliff? lol hahaha! nah underground parking the ramp is too sharp at the top

That's the question we ask ourselves everyday Jase... The rally cars are only TRD Corollas because Neal Bates Automotive built them virtually from the ground up to be weapons. Toyota give them money and say "here, make us look good". exactly all the running gear was stripped out and a gt4 driveline put in maybe trd could take a leaf out of his book and produce something that has a similar concept in terms of driveline if it wasnt in danger of overweighting the front end they could try fit in the blown six make the suspension decent and youd have a winner for sure. toyota seems to be staying close to its sporty whitegoods persona the trd hilux was WEEEEEEEAKKK! lets add a bodykit and supercharger and hope it looks more exciting sorry take it back drop a 2uz in it factory 20's and a slightly less garish bodykit then try again

quick question not meaning to be samrt but have you checked the actual siren? or is it wired into the horn? maybe during the service they turned the siren off using the alarm key i dunno how many toyota dealers do it i used to when did services cause nothings more annoying than working on a car when its alarm keeps freakin going off.

if its getting worse probably a good idea to be taking it back n asking them to look at it

saw pricey tuesday afternoon bout 7 in bridge road dont think he saw me but

sounds like a loose wire or somethin look under the hood with the engine running and wiggle all the connections, spark plug leads stuff like that if thats the problem with any luck itll cut out when your moving that part also give the disributor a bit of a whack and see if that does anything

whats wrong with king springs?

they crackle just as your turning the car off? hmmm yeh try what he said sounds weird dude good luck

no reason why we couldnt try make the kit work in a corolla still dont know how they get them to change in the tach like that possibly the led's are dual channel hooked to a shift light actuator i just like the look of the dash in a light blue looks better that the red led's which seem to be climbing on board just about every mazda these days

ouch! he must have been a very poor sales man :P to be honest thou i've never really trust waterless car wash its like.. WATERLESS SHOWER :S try showering with a few squirts of "stuff" but yeh i must agree wixy has his point too so hrm its all depend on personal peference i guess yeh horses for courses i guess funny thing i pulled into a servo in north rocks for a drink this arvo and there were people selling the same product as i was walking back to the car when one of them came running along behind me tryng to flog me the crap she said well can i give you a demo after i already said no when i said very sternly DONT.....spray that on the car thankyou it was my girlies car and she hasnt washed it in over a year but still you know

hmm i had a similar problem i had it replaced under warranty cause it was stuffed

NOOOOOOOOOOO why jebus, i'd so love to have the F1 shift lifts *** damn it what about this one looks like a promo vid for some company called LEDmod.com that was on celica apparently it needs aftermarket gauges to work properly something to do with light distribution the kits like 35 bucks us wouldnt be a too costly experiment i suppose

one time i pulled into a servo and some guy came up to me trying to sell me this car wash in a can crap after tellin him i wasnt interested several times he then proceded to spray the stuff on the car and give me a little demo and cause the car was dirty it scratched the paintwork. needless to say i nearly punched him out

yeah i took a couple of photos after the guy took off itll take a week to fix.....that i was hpoing id get a new bar out of it but no

thats HAWWWWT! doubt that one from thailand but cause all i saw was the american corollas nothing like our models duuuuur sorry just noticed the price list is in yen the corolla sideskirts are the same for all models arent they? so if thats the case i want a set of these babys and the bar as well........sexy time

haha I think no rule whatsoever for cars! :D hahahah.....just do it hell yeh i just got back from thailand a week ago these guys know how to mod cars even the tour vans we went in were fully trimmed out and had mad sound systems i even saw a tuk tuk in phuket that you could hear 2 blocks away with all the subs in it nuts lol! funny thing was basically all the corolla's and civic's there were modded up full bodykits neons the works and they were TAXI'S lucky sob's lol! get to do all the fun stuff

sounds ace throw me on the bottom of the list

guess that means we would be meeting round 6:30 ish if we were going with them enough time for us to meet get sorted and mosy on over to homebush looks like ill be missing this one too though my cars getting the front bumper repaired and i wont have it back till next tuesday cause the swedish chef needs a week to fix a freakin scratch

hows the quality of your wire joins? are they soldered and properly insulated or just twisted together with some tape covering it? the wire joins can cause the problem or there might be a short in the speaker wires try using the stereo as you would to make the problem occur then disconnect the wires from each speaker one at a time to see if theres a change reconnect each speaker after you test it. but before all that whats the bass setting on the deck maybe the speakers arent capable of handling alot of bass try turning it down first and see if it helps
