Isn't that to attract the flight attendant?

I emailed the DPI about 2 months ago regarding CAIs, and where the hell my personalised LP was.

Still waiting for a reply.

Just call them - they have a freecall number. Given what I last saw in Perth, you should be able to get away with it. You might have luck calling a tyre place like Bob Jane and asking them for their opinion.

hahahaha

ROFL!!

Re!

Hiya - looking nice. It's amazing how eyelids change the look of the car, especially white rollas (it gives the angel a mean look).

I hope to meet up with you soon!

BTW, I thought radar detectors were now illegal in WA? (OR not legal - as opposed to illegal)

Hiya, the fuse for the indicators is located in the engine bay (to the right of the airbox). If you take the lid off the fuse box and look inside it, it will have a 'legend' of which fuse is which. The one you want to check is the one called "hazzard", a 10-amp fuse. Pull it out and have a look.

While it could be a loose connection on the steering stalk, do not touch the steering wheel components unless you know what you are doing. If you were to trigger the fairly sensitive airbag, it would be expensive to replace and no doubt would give you a rather large headache.

And welcome!

Please dont hurt me when I suggest this:

Why not get some window tinting cut-offs and cover the offending area... this saves you having to pull the dash apart...

The true facelift came out halfway through 2005 (August?). I believe the 5Y refers to the later models, while the 92 was early 2005 model.

Who is this Nelson you all speak of??

The leading actor-in-thought in epic movies such as '300' and 'the birdcage'. Smut extraordinare, and shadow to the enigmatic Robbo... whom I shall leave to answer that question.

(nice enough lead-up?)

haha dont stress too much...

rob is strange... u just have to get used to him..

So i've been told (and seen)! But apparently it's all Nelson's doing (you see, Nelson tells me all the time).

I should've known better! :D

I hang my head in shame :P

Sweet - thanks for the info guys.

Any clue on dates?

Just wondering - you put a strut bar on the tower (on top), and a sway bar underneath on the bottom. Why not get a bloody strong sway bar and avoid cutting the tower plastic surround?

I am aware of the fact that a sway bar loses its mechanical advantage by being low on the strut bar, but can it work?

Can almost see the fuel gauge going down at a similar rate, but in light of that speeeed, who cares!!!

i dont think it can be put on the cruise control

Then i've been lied to all my driving life!!!

("Daddy, what does this button do?")

Does face lift sportivo have the white resonator box above the fog light area ?

Unless i'm blind, no.

Touche! You just gotta love those Aurions.

I parked my Rolla outside the Canberran info centre and a bus load of (and not being racist here) Asian tourists pulled up and started inspecting my car. I felt very chuffed, and promptly activated the alarm (I was sitting on park bench a few meters away). After a few recovered from heart attacks, we all had a good laugh.

Just felt like sharing that.

I just had a very quick look at the wiring diagrams that I have here, and my conclusion is that you're going to have to be more specific...

My understanding (feel most free to correct me anyone), is that the VIP (vehicle intrusion protection) system works thusly: sensors are attached throughout the car - windows, door open, bonnet open etc. Then, just for fun, more wires come out that work to activate the horn, lights etc. Some, if not all of these sensors go through the ECU. Now, either the alarm is itself connected to the ECU, or the sensor wires bifurcate and go into the alarm. Some VIPS have their own ECU. Which then I tihnk begs the question: what type of alarm do you have?

My cursory look (and damn i'm tired), shows a lot of wiring... and I never installed my own alarm.

I guess what i'm saying is that I have the info, but there is a lot of it.

waiting for the seller's reply. :)

Yeah, me too...

Hereth begins my 161st post

Digital dashies are fun (I have an Echo), and you are given the impression that the display is 100% accurate, but it isn't necessarily (Echo and Yaris owners have had a long and colourful history of having inaccurate digital speedos). If you want accuracy, it wont be found on any speedo unless you can confirm it with, I guess, the gold standard ("excuse me Mr officer, can you tell me how fast i was going - i want to know if my speedo is good").

blah blah blah.

Trying not to sound too much like a Jaycar salesman, I know you can get DIY digital speedo readout kits from them that you can slap on your dash.

Hope this rant helps. It's been a long day, and it is time to end it.

Congrats on your purchase - I love those Aurions!

ummm , i read on this forum if you buy a aftermarket ECU you can change the revs so it revs higher..

That what your on about clement???

buy a new ecu

Power FC?????????

i get wat u mean but its i mean for the standard factory ecu.

query answered.

thanks annyways.

wow rich kid driving a toyota but his bro driving bugatti veyron....(says sarcasticly)

LOL...

no hard feelings yall!!

Rightyho, so to save our frustrations, what/which answer was the answer you wanted?

To quote the Goons "it's all very confusing really"

Any ideas of complete costing on sending a single unit? Is the seller willing to be gracious for those of us in Whoop?

:(

Not happy Jan. That's a pretty good price you're getting.

oooooh Duh.

When i was installing the shift light, i played with the instrument cluster - follow the instructions, take it out and fiddle. I think the facade (three-piece sandwich) is removable...
