Guys,

The price of Michelin PS3 and Dunlop sportmaxx are quiet closed. I have read some reviews saying that the PS3 are handling better in wet then the sport maxx with its softer compound. Personally I had sportmax on my Yaris. It did a really good job on dry and wet however, the they are pretty noisy .

Would you guys go to PS3 or sportmaxx?

Cheers

Michilen Pilot Sport hands down.

If you want a more dry orientated tyre you can go for Nitto Nt05

speaking of wheels I'm thinking of these in 18's thought's?

Also anyone know the maximum offset I could go on fronts and rear? keeping in mind I don't have stock ride height, or would it be best to just hit up a shop and check to see what clearances i could pull off?

with these specs that you have, I think I can do 16x8 with +15 offset. just wondering if I need to do some fender rolling.

On the rear it should'nt be a problem if you're running stock ride height, fronts might be a different story

that actually looks really nice, throw own some aftermarket springs just to lower it a tad and it'll be perfect :) and it won't kill the ride either :P

Cool. Looking forward to it. My caldina is a little different fom the rest. Hope it doesnt put you off from buying as there great cars

LOL different how? I demand pics :P don't tell me it's pink, has hello kitty stickers all over it.

hi all

any room for a caldina to attend the meet?

this would be the first meet in a long time and hope to get to know a few of the other members

Hell Yeah!, I've been wanting to buy a Caldina for months but have sort of been off put by dodgy dealers (looking at you prestige auto's in Haberfield). It'll be good to speak to someone who actually owns one day to day so please do come along :)

Sorry guys

The end of this month is going to be a bit hecktic for myself (work wise)

I would prefer to day cruise / lunch or dinner on teh first weekend of DEC.

This will be the last (planned) event of the year

If we like the idea, I'll nail something together.

I'm up for whatever, if we want to meld Nov and Dec togethor and just have a decent cruise that'd be great. Maybe a cruise to Bathurst for a few laps around the famous track or whaever :P

Not sure... There was talk last meet of a cruise this month...

There was talk of a cruise this month given it's pretty much the last meet of the year (don't think their will be one next month). Anyone have any suggestions of places to go?

Hi guys, new here.... Keen to come to one of these meets.... There any plans for one this month or next?

Where do you guys usually meet/cruise to...?

Hey Scott

Our monthly meets are usually held at Greenacre McDonalds and have been for a few years I beleive, touch wood no one ever gives us much hassle.

Once a year we have annual meet which changes location and every few months we'll have a cruise, last I believe was to the Hunter Valley.

Nice nice nice!! Wish I played with my camera settings. Calrity isn't great.

:D

Dammit u had some really nice top shots i wanted that I Couldnt get, next time I'll need to get you to stand on that fence again to get the photos :P

K Photo's amended :P

Awesome meet up all :) and the photoshoot afterwards was awesome :) just need one night where there isn't a god damn one direction concert on at Homebush lol

any who and now for the happy snaps Enjoy!

Im in for a quick meet up :) Zrb (Zeb) just wants to show off his sick tail lights :P

So I'll get the ball rolling:

Attending

1) ZRB

2) Ben Yip

3) Rentaspace

4) Crypt

Anyone else?

Can I vote petes house? Kekekekekekekke

Looks like someone wants his frog cleaned...

Non.

I'm up for either, hopefully I'll have my Caldina by they (yes you can all hate now I'm getting a Caldina).

Whenever I see a post of ur car Ken all I think of is Kermit the frog singing "it's not easy being green" :P

Hey there, just thought I'd intro myself to the club. Have been reading a few of the topics on this site and have given me a few ideas for what to do with mine.

I bought a 2011 series 3 in Dark Furnace about a month ago, and I'm in love with it. Looking to install some DRL's first up, then move on to lowering, exhaust and maybe some wheels. Are there any box cruises that happen? Used to go on cruise with my e series falcon wagon and a heap of other e series owners and they were fun.

Cheers,

Jason.

Welcome to the forums Jason :) Hit up CDUCTN based in Vic who owns another Rukus, there's usually a Toyota Owners Club monthly meet you can go to and every year there's an annual meet up :)

If you're looking for suspension take a look at some of the parts lists in the Rukus Thread.

Soooooo anything this month? I know there was some discussion of a cruise/lunch this time around which would probably be one of the last chances for this year I assume?

great to see some South Australians are getting it all together... when these start becoming a regular thing I might head over from Vic for a meet bring a few of the fellow victorians with me as well.... let me know how it goes guys

Same here, haven't been to SA before so would be an awesome road trip :)

Hello Rukus Friends,

I have a 2011 Build one and have purchase a Gen Toyota 6.1 Touch Screen (from a new Corolla). The connectors at the back are different (which I already knew), however you apparently can purchase a wiring harness or conversion. My local Toyota Dealer in Brisbane doesn't think this exists. Ive spoken to all the parts and service persons.

Do anyone know of a part # of elsewhere I can look. Its just the Antenna and Sound connection.

The unit powers on and looks very pretty.

Thanks in Advance. :D

Unfortunately I'm not really sure of the wiring harness being referred to, when I changed the deck in my car the Rukus was fairly still new to Australia so I had to get wiring diagrams from the Scion XB/ States side and cut, twist, solder and shrink wrap all my cables. Definately your best bet would be to head to a proper audio store and talk to some of the installers/technicians there, I'm not talking about strathfield car audio but places that all they do is audio or custom audio set ups.

hope this helps a little :(

Technically i'm not new as I signed up in January last year, but have never posted. I came back on here after attending the last meet at Greenacre Maccas.

Looking forward to more meets :)

You damn well better come to more meets :P next one is on the 28th, same time

Also Chris are you selling the eyelids? I know they're held on with 3m tape but should be so hard for me to source :) I'd take them off your hands too if you put them up

Yo Chris :) I'd be up for the following :P

USDM TAIL LIGHTS FOR RUKUS

CARBON ENGINE COVER FOR 2AZ-FE

and TRD FRONT STRUT BAR if it hasn't been sold allready?

I'm in :)

1) Kev Bui

2) Crypt

Hey

Can anyone point me in the right direction for interior lights? looking to change ones the roof to LED's but I want to get them from someone reputable and seeing as I havent ordered them before the correct ones :)

Sorry for the nubness

will the eyelids work from TRD sparks?

Jim the tails looks crazy... you never seam to amaze me with what you do... thats why yours is my fav box out here.....

just out of curiosity are their any plans for the reverse and turn signals to go to LED as well? or just keep to stop/lights...

again big props dude good to see someone going down the custom route...

Cheers Chris.., as for the taillights they are not finished yet, i want to get the indicators switched to sequential indicating like the audi r8 spyders, front / back.. i am still waiting for a mate to recieve the parts for the circuitry, but if it works out like i think it should it will be off its nuts...the skys the limit bro.

>

lol, thanks mate, all the monitors are purely cosmetic, they are not practical.. only for shows.. etc, i picked up the monitors at a price i couldnt refuse, i love the way it looks now, i have made room to garage my box now also which helps

Pretty sure you could squeeze in a 50-55" tv in the boot.

Just sayin'...

Love it mate!

Yeah forsure mate, maybe somewhere down the line lol!.. was also thinking a rear projector.. lift up the trunk back it up against the wall and get the popcorn out..!

Hate to admit it but seeing as Defyant has the templates for the LED's from doing your tailights mine might end up the same, I'll see though depending if I get a response from the states on the US OEM tailights :)

Also in regards to the projector, if you search around youtube gizmodo.com.au (tech website) had a Rukus a while back that they did some mods on (it ended up looking pretty terrible) but one of them was a projector in the bootlid that was custom moulded into the plastic. I believe they got Ryda at Petersham to do the work :), if you are going down that route I suggest also having the ability to hook up an Xbox, PS3 or even better a Nintendo 64 to it :P
