  2. for those lucky enough to have jdm lights in theirs with the inner lights are they just single filament or dual filament as in tail light and stop light in the inner light space where normal models have no lights at all? cause ive just put stop tail globes in my non jdm lights and i wondered if they were the same
  3. hmmmm id start parking my car on the street in hope id get some trd stickers but knowing my luck id get a brick through the windscreen before then
  4. i dont like your chances of keepin this post up seeing as youve posted oh um bout 9 posts so far
  5. saw sonny near pancakes in north rocks yesterday arvo it looks a bit different did he sell it yet?
  6. ive only heard of it happening to trucks on the f3 coasting in neutral or angel gear as they call it for some reason the tailshaft on one truck flew appart i dunno how true it is but its a scary thought
  7. well coasting in gear is better because when you back off the throttle the ecu actually cuts out the injectors for a few seconds so your saving fuel there and youve got engine braking as well

    miss me ?

    lols, i already know who wouldnt you like to know -- ended up going to the gap LOL gay, it was like so cold and no one wanted to push me on the swings awwwwwww i woulda pushed you but i had laundry to do
  9. some interesting points raised here but yeah quite a few really stupid ones as well who would drive behind a semi that close anyway? thats the thing about americans one person puts out some halfbaked solution and people take it as gospel next thing you know theres hundreds of people killing themselves by switching off their engines off and loosing their power steering and brakes for the sake of saving a thimble full of petrol. mind you ill be taking all the excess junk out maybe ease up on the throttle a bit
  10. i never noticed they were connected thats why i couldnt see what was so bad about it maybe just filling the front one will be enough i havent stuck my head under yet but i think ive broken the rear engine mount maybe ill just pull it out and gut it and refill you guys mentioned. so where will i find shore 60? spose down at bunnings would be my first guess theyve got everything........cept thermose flasks lol!
  11. Got from Wiki and I've seen this before Automotive fuel additive ---------------------------- Some automotive enthusiasts add acetone at around 1 part in 500 to their fuel, following claims of dramatic improvement in fuel economy and engine life.[3] This practice is controversial as the body of systematic testing shows that acetone has no measurable effect or may in fact reduce engine life by adversely affecting fuel system parts.[4][5][6] Debates on this subject and the perrenial claims of a "Big Oil" cover-up intensified when the practice was addressed on the popular American TV show MythBusters in 2006, and shown to have negative effect in the televised fuel economy test.[7]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone i dont really put acetone in my fuel tank and i figured the stuff wouldnt do anything. you can put all the injector cleaner through you want it wont clean out any particles lodged in the injector filter baskets
  12. i found an article on filling the engine mounts with the same stuff glaziers use to fit car windows apparently that works as long as you fill the mounts gradually in layers so it all dries evenly but in doing that it could take up to 24 hours to fill one mount alone......... whats wrong with solid filling the mounts anyway? i saw in street tuner challenge they changed the mounts on some chev with the astra turbo engine to a solid alloy center which will have **** all flex and possibly crack the mounting points on the block itself but solid filling the mount is just adding a bit more cushion to it and increasing durability
  13. hahahaha what a ******! please tell me you laughed at the guy cause i would have two places you could try i dont have numbers but look them up they wont be hard to find both around guildford/yennora area Aline smash- ask for ken or sam youll find them on cann street guildford or shalala smash on orchardleigh street tell them an ex western toyota employee refered you they should give you a better price ive seen a few cars that come out of Aline and theyre unreal they do alot of commodores some of you would have seen them at autosalon at least once
  14. this is why ill never put a cai on my car
  15. i prefer to dump a 500ml tin of acetone in with a full tank.....lol no not really nobody try this ive tried the nissan brand injector cleaner......couldnt really tell the difference
  16. 6k to spray the outside matt black????? dude its one colour no clear no metalic whatever happened to 2k inside and out keep getting quotes if your in sydney i know a few shops that might cut you a better deal
  17. meh i couldnt seem to find ***** none of those companys seem to list 2zz engine mounts
  18. spotted a white facelift ascent in big rims in manly near the aquarium and a black facelift non stivo on forrest way around 4:30 had black rims and the driver was giving it a bit of stick
  19. i know theyre like that its just stupid they looked at me and cause i was taking my time and being a bit vauge they took me for a fool in my expereince in buying cars from dealers these guys were by far alot more full on i also fear not being able to get parts im not so much worried about the condition of the car i shoud be able to spot something dodgy if i came across it as ive encountered in the past all i wanted was a awd wagon for the space and also for the stability but toyota australia cant seem to make anything that fits but i sure as hell wont buy a subaru
  20. i am still entertaining the idea of trading my car for a caldina i saw one advertised at a certain import dealer at croydon in the trading post so as i was passing by there i decided to drop in and have a look it was advertised at $18999 and all i wanted to do was look at it but the salesman told me he was selling it on behalf of somebody cause it had a not for sale sign on it he enquired about my car and what i wanted to do with it he offered eventually to do a straight swap for it and was realy pushy to get me to sign and commit to a sale which i told him i couldnt sign anything i was running late and had to go........... trawling the car sales sites ive just stumbed across this ad paste this one into your browser http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/TOYOTA/C...934125&pt=1 this is the car i looked at as you can see its offered with a dealer warranty which means it must be one of his cars and the price is reduced but of course i wasnt told this no wonder i felt like they realy wanted me to sign something saying id buy it........... <_< im sorry but does anyone else think thats just downright low? im posting this as a warning that some dealers will try to hoodwink you so do your homework the weird part is the other caldina i was looking at 3 months ago is still for sale lol!

  24. no surprises theyre aiming to get a tdi corolla into the market seeing as deisel technology its comming along as well as it has been id dare say itll be better than the petrol motors in most area's still its a shame they wont be making a stivo varient anytime soon spose if anyone was desperate enough they could always put a 2zz in couldnt they
