  1. All toyota dealers call you up after you bring the car in for service and recommend that you do the injector service. I think the girl at service desk reception is on a commission for selling this extra to you. They always call me to have it done after I drop the car off for service, for which I politely decline as I did not budget for it. ;)
  2. They are awesome cars to own, I've had mine since new from 2003, and all the little teething problems have been sorted out in the warranty period.
  3. Are you sure you need help ? You alias infers IBM "PC XT", with the 8088/8086 processor - I had one of these computers back in 1989 with a monochrome monitor, hercules card, and a whopping 30MB hard disk !?
  4. In your browser, try deleting all temporary internet files and cookies and then try this website again.
  5. Make sure you read up on how FBT is calculated on novated lease cars as these can be a real killer. If I recall, you need to drive at least 25,000 kilometres a year to be in the lowest bracket of FBT.
  6. These are only exams. If you can't get through this time, just try a little harder the next time you attempt them or choose a course that you are interested in. At the end of the day, that piece of paper that you get from uni/college is simply a foot in the door of your first job. Your mum is typical of the the older generation asian mum. She doesn't realise this, but her old traditional ways of trying to get you to do better by criticising and scaring you simply does not work and generally encourages low self esteem. Hence, why alot of asian people tend to be introverts.
  7. You're absolutely right. Just checked the lube guide on castrol's web site. TOYOTA Corolla Sportivo, 1796cm³ 2ZZ-GE Eng., 6-Spd.

  8. It happens to me. Running 3.0.3 firefox on vista and after surfing for a few hours firefox will hang and be non responsive. Closing it down requires killing the process in task manager before starting up a new instance of firefox. Haven't been able to fix it myself. I prefer firefox over explorer as explorer was vulnerable to spam and spyware being downloaded without me knowing.
  9. How much did it cost to have them fitted ? I've had my set sitting on the shelf for a couple of years and was going to do it when I replace the clutch whenever that wears out.
  10. They look pretty good and I was going to consider that style of rim until I saw them in real life on the honda integra where they were scratched up. The mesh style sticks out further than the lip of the rim so you have to be extra careful when parking.

    UTS computing science FTW. The best computing students come from UTS.
  12. I can certainly vouch for the quality of the bars mate, they will improve your handling a heap. Maybe when you go down there there was supposed to be a couple of bars and some other stuff in the box eh? Nudge Nudge ;) Yeah, real good quality, so good that my whiteline rear sway snapped in half the other day just going 2k/ph up my drive way.lol Got it replaced free of charge though :D But yes it does make a big difference in handling. Hmm... sounds like you got a dodgey one. Good that they sorted it out by replacing it, they are not so lenient with there warranty on springs though. BTW, are they hollow inside or solid ?
  13. If you look at the part no for Tein SS from fulcrum's website and the Tein Super Wagon from Tein Japan's website, they have the same part number.
  14. I think it also comes with a whiteline test pilot sticker.
  15. The tein super wagons are great for the price difference over koni/kings. Adjusting them to max soft gives a very comfortable ride which is close to stock comfort. Firm them up to 10 clicks from max hard, and you'll be bouncing around and feeling every crack on Sydney roads. You can adjust the damping in the rear coilover by taking the boot interior out. Whereas with the koni yellows, you need to take the strut off the car for damping adjustments. The height adjustment comes in handy where you can adjust to the lowest setting when attending sydney tocau meets, and bring it back to up again for daily duties. B)
  16. After you get it repaired, it's best to park a couple of blocks away from your mates place and take a short stroll. If you need to unload things, drop them off and drive off to park further away. Then start working on your strategy of making karma do its work.
  17. You missed your window of opportunity, but having said that I don't think Sinan would have appreciated the stench of bodily fluids all over his seats.
  18. You could have avoided this by handling the situation a bit better by not having the big argument and actually keeping the noise levels down. What may be acceptable noise levels to you obviously wasn't to your mate's neigbours. Nevertheless, it's a gut wrenching feeling having your car keyed. Mine was as well because I looked at an person the wrong way.
  19. Mate, better hope they clean those intestines out well. The thought of eating pig poop is just making me cringe. Hence, why at yum cha I never order the cow giblets.
  20. Also what tyres are you running ? If you're on the stock wheel with 55's profile go to 50 profile high performance tyre.
  21. Pretty sure he's bull$hitting you. Personally I'd be wary selling to someone that said that. Write up a contract that says he has inspected and test driven the car and is satisfied with the vehicle condition and get him to sign and date it.
  22. I've looked at the usual websites, tempe, st. george, taleb, ozzy etc and can't find any place that stocks replicas ce28n in black with red lip. Anyone know a special place that has them ?
  23. I bought this after having not bought fast fours for over a decade now and had to make sure that no one saw me walking out of the newsagent with it so I promptly paid and put in in my bag (felt like I was buying a porn mag). :P Is this the first zze corolla in fast fours ?
  24. We had a bbq last Sunday. Here is a small sample of what we had. BBQ Chicken Skewers Advocado Salad Pasta For the kids, fish fingers, tartare source on those diy dinner bread rolls Fruit salad on skewers Asian lotus paste sesame balls Chocolate mouse in shot glasses.

    Rissoles!!!

    Don't they contain heaps of fat ? I bought some from the coles meat section a few months ago and they didn't live up to the ones that I had when I was a kid.
