Hey I'm not 32!

Stupid rental car was ghey. No intake.

...and colour blind!

mmm presssssssure washer...

Just bought a Bosch, so anytime you want to come over and have a wet shirt competition... I'll be sure to invite BadBoys over. Actually, the pressure would probably launch him over the fence, but it would be worth the laugh!

I strongly believe that using the PW actually uses less water to wash my car than by any other means available to me, exp as I have dark blue paint. LUV IT!

*cough*

160 comfortably

*cough*

Probably not worth my while saying this was in a controlled environ using stunt(ed) drivers...

FYI, the other product that will most probably work is good ole CLR, but I have no idea what effect that would have on rubber seals or paintwork.

Good to know the vinegar worked. What sort of dilution ratio did you use?

Drove my rolla for the first time in 4 days, and I would have been lucky to coax it to 4K. Idles terribly when cold! I think it's the engine warning me not to do anything to hasty, Master Meriadoc.

Mate, I know how you feel. I got bore water stains on my windscreen that were so bad that simply... I broke the windscreen, and insurance paid for a new one (this was actually done with their permission).

The side windows still look ratty (best word I could think of). There are silicone based spray ons that claim to remove the staining, but FFS, don't try them - they make things MUCH worse. Imagine silicone streaks on the window, at night, with a light illuminating it. Blinding, to say the least.

Some say using dilute vinegar works a treat, but I haven't yet tried it.

LOL, if there's no pics, it didn't happen :P

Authentication needed

LOL FFS!!!

BUT - how do you know what I look like?!

Mish, Mark - you've seen us together!!!

Depends on the change in humidity in the car (door) relative to that outside etc.

My only suggestion involves you standing on a sunny day holding a hose-pipe while 'watering your lawn' off your car door. Then see if there is any moisture. Perhaps take it to a car-wash place and use a pressure hose?

Need to work it out...

Wow, that does not look aesthetically pleasing!

On the other hand, the controls are normally mounted on the arm rests, but the new rolla doesn't seem to have much bulk in the dept - maybe that's the only place they could mount the controls

Oh yeah and Elan's hot missus...

well im sure we'd remember more if pics were added.

Just don't tell her... ;)

Do you require a photo with both of us to prove authenticity?

Sorry for the thread hijacking!

My poor Sarah always gets left out...

Car modifications

Brandons car makes my nipples hard.

I didn't think test-tube babies had nipples...

I thought of putting this in the stupid thread, but I really didnt find anything after a brief search (strange, as I thought this would've been covered before)...

I want to buy and install a cruise control unit into my rolla as I will be doing very long drives in the very near future.

Does anyone know of good (read: cheap) brands out there?

I see there are a few on eBay for approx $250, but it's ebay...

Jaycar doesn't seem to have any at the moment (web search)

And Toyota... well the last time I checked, they were looking for around $800.

Unless it is extremely technical, I should be able to install it myself.

Any ideas?

Another fine addition to the stupid thread :P

and1, just drop by my place mate; I will teach you, my padawan learner!

Northies and straglers... I have a pressure washer at home...

and I'm not afraid to use it!

If anyone wants a quick hosing...

I'll come if Elan takes me and feeds me along the way.

I'm dependent.

Of course - yout seat is always ready and waiting - my lap! Pre-warmed, with only 3 lumpy bits. Food is another thing...

Perth ppl: which car?!

2005 Corolla Stivo or 1999 Celica SX?

I'm not offering any useful information, other than when I read the topic title, I though for a moment you were inquiring about a Hyundai.

Toyota Corolla Ascent.

The keys are close tho! :P

I ... hate ... you

*sob*

ill get the ball rolling

meet at _my house________ , cruise to meet point one, at __my driveway_____, cruise to meet point two, at __my postbox_________

someone want to fill in the blanks with a place and time?

Cos lets face it, it's a long driveway.

BUMP

Any further ideas on using touchup paint to fill minor stone damage? Anyone developed a good technique

(FYI I have cascade blue, 8P4)

Also as I was doing a lot of travelling, I put some clear nail varnish into one scratch as it went through the powdercoat - shall I paint over the top, or strip it?

Maybe Toyota Owners Club Australia

Webby?

As above, and then leter when you have the cash, you can go custom - put in your own spotties etc, and you're unlikely to regret it.

PERTH people, we've got another FEMALE!!!!

I think that makes you number 3...

Not that I would consider Mandurah as part of Perth :P

LOL - lovely!

Maybe a name change is in order: Sketch-Ra

The Egyptian g-o-d of doodling
