  1. 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.

  2. You're absolutely right. Just checked the lube guide on castrol's web site.

  3. 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.

  4. maybe i shouldn't go pick it up then..

    hopefully their sways bars are better quality than their cardboard boxes.. if peoples crap keeps falling out

    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 ?

  5. You could be right, I think I did get a quote for Tein SS for ZZE, tuned for oz road from Fulcrum.

    Tein Wagon is a seperate product, but only in Japan.

    And as far as I can remember, Tein SS for corolla is US only.

    But then again I did remember Tein SS from Fulcrum...

    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.

  6. 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)

  7. 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.

    pork noodles hehehe heart cloggingly good

    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.
