I lowered ours with coil overs. The girlfriend is taking a little time to adjust to the fact that she can no longer ride over speed humps at 80kph, but she will get it figured out eventually!!
Hi Mate
Great looking :) may I ask who you chose for the coilovers?

Missed another one :(
How could u John, we trusted you :P
Well maybe next meet we should do a cruise seeing as it's going to be the last meet of the year? Anyone up for a cruise or have any suggestions of places they'd like to go. We've done the following previously (to my knowledge):
1) Hunter Valley
2) Kangaroo Valley
3) National Park > Stanwell Tops > Kiama Blowhole > Roberstons Pie Shop

Fitted new shoes for my Rukus. Suspension is all stock at the moment.
Liking the gold/bronze wheels on white, just needs to be lowered so it's not on stilts :P any plans to lower it?

Count me in :)

Can anyone recommend me to a good auto electrician in Sydney? Ive searched as best I can already but am unable to find any good information.
I attempted to install genuine fog lights to my car though I've come across some problems. Unfortunately my corolla is south african built and is missing a few key things- Which would have allowed me to install by myself
Thanks

Hi All
Last Saturday of the month is the 27th, unfortunately I'll be busy that night and the following long weekend but given it's toyotafest on the 5th of October might be worthwhile for you guys to head out there?
Alternatively you guys can organise a regular meet up on Saturday the 27th at 7:30pm :)

Link to gumtree ad or approx cost?

Nice drive fellas :) was a good weekend all around

Damn the week I get rostered on a weekend something fun happens :(
It's alright mate there's always our usual monthly meets :)
-
LOL Cam I'm still cleaning up the mess from the last time I went for a ride in your Mark II, scared the bejesus outta me. Does anyone have locations in terms of stopping lunch etc? just want to throw up a route map to make it easy for everyone.
Also if anyone has CV radios or walkies please bring along makes it a lot easier to co-ordinate :P
If anyone is going to be late just text or call me on 0411983777

Hey guys!
Picked up a 2010 Build 2 about a month ago. Veryyyyy happy with it so far!
I have some questions about the smartkeys though...
1) Did you guys recieve normal mechanical keys from your dealer as well as the smartkeys? My used dealer only gave me two smartkey fobs.
2) Do you guys have intermittent issues with your smartkey not being recognised when you touch the door handle? I've been having this trouble, not sure if I need to replace the batteries or not; or if I need to go to a Toyota dealer for help.
3) How often should I expect to replace the batteries in my smartkeys?
Thanks! :D
Also wondering if anyone has any god recommendations for replacing the original toyota audio unit as I think it's kind of ****ty! :P
Hi there
Welcome to the forums :)
Congrats on the purchase of rukus sure you'll love it
Question 1) From the dealership I only ever received 2 smart keys not physical keys as such, but if you havent worked it out yet the portion of the smart key that you can attach to your key chain actually comes out :) if you're looking at the toyota badge on your smart key on the right hand side there is a rubber portion with what looks like a key on it, if you push down on that while pulling out the rubber portion on the bottom of the smart key a physical one will come out :)
Question 2) My car is also a 2010 build 1 and I've recently had to replace the batteries as the smart handles werent working, the hardest part of replacing it will be sourcing the battery but actually replacing it is easy, using the above process to take out the key you'll note that at the end of it is a flat portion and where you've taken out the key there is one hole where the key came from and a slight indent to the side of it, place the flat portion of the actual key into that indent and twist :)
Question 3) Given i drive my car every day i would suggest every 3-4 years, but luckily batteries are fairly cheap (Ebay)
Goodluck!

Nice Caldina :) Just a quick question, did you go through an imported or did you do it by yourself? also roughly how long did it take?
-
Thanks for replying mate.
Yeah im wanting them to come on only when I turn the lights on... wanting replace the 2 little led's behind the A/C with the strip.
seems like ill have to purchase a voltmeter as got no idea where to wire the +tive and -tive wires.
didnt think it was going to be this hard... thought I could just splice into the existing led lights.
If you want to do this you coud like mentioned above tap into the parker lights but I'm assuming you'd want to tap into something in the dash rather than the engine bay, try and locate an online wiring diagram as it might save you from using a volmeter

Nice looking toaster :P

Hi guys, needing some help.
I'm wanting to wire in some little 12v Led strips behind the A/C Knobs.
Struggling to find the correct power source.
Where do I solder/connect the postive and negative wires from the LED strip to ensure that they only come on with the dash lights?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Two different ways depending on how I interprit your sentence, if you want the lights to come on when your dash dims(?) for night time you'd be best off tapping into the parker lights in the engine bay as when they're on your dash should dim, for a ground you could source somewhere in the engine bay or tap into the negative of the parkers.
If you just want them on when you start the car then all you need to do is find a 12v source that turns on and off whith the ignition, fuse box is usually a good place to start (if you can't find a wiring diagram grab a voltmeter :))
Hope that helps

So reading over some autoblogs today and noticed that Scion in the US is primed to axe the XB, given the size of the American market I wouldn't assume it'd far stretch to assume the Australian model Rukus may also face the axe (time will tell :()

Bugga.... We might still receive a updated Rumion?
That's what I'm hoping for, the car is still quite popular in Japan so here's hoping that we still get them :)
On a side note I also read somewhere that the Nissan Cube had been axed by Nissan (take that as you want :P)
-
I came here thinking you had sold yours,phew
LOL I thought someone might interprit it as such :P thankfully no mine has got a lot of life left in it, as much as I want a Caldina every time I walk away and look at it I can't bring myself to sell it.

Toymods are doing a Putty Road run on Sunday (start at Parramatta, Putty Rd up to Broke and then back down to Wollombi for lunch
That sounds good, are you going? any idea where they might be meeting up?
-
So other than Ryan and Cam is anyone else coming?
If not we can just have a normal meet at night as I need to work on my car anyway (got some DRL's I'd like to Install)
-
Updated Meet up location to Thornleigh McDonalds as it's an easier departure point.
Can someone please let me know if this works by the way, for some reason it doesn't load normally for me? Ideally the meet up location should be Thornleigh McDonalds

Right All, next meet up will be a cruise. I'm looking for expressions of interest at this stage (if not enough interest is gained it'll just be a regular meet).
My plan is for all of us to meet up at GreenAcre McDonalds (need suggestions on other meet up locations as I remember the last time we did this we met up at a different McDonalds), then we drive up the M1 (or F1) to Wollombi stopping at route 33 cafe (if it's still there), then after a break we'll push up to Hunter Valley Gardens in Polkobin.
Route map is below, planning to meet up at 9am for a 9:30am departure.
Please let me know who's keen :)
Goodbye Rukus/XB
in Rukus Club
Posted
On a seperate side note and I know this will probably dissapoint John but I have in fact said goodbye to the Rukus as of a week ago, its been a good run but ultimately I wanted something quicker and faster.
