Chompies

If we're still invited and this is late Nov, I know 3 of us Mazda3s would be in.

Thanks once again Lucio, from all of the Mazdarians that went. Ye ye, Sportivo vs SP23, here's what I posted on our forum: The SP23 and Sportivo are aimed at two different demographics. The Sportivo is a racer car that rewards with revs, whereas the SP23 is an everyday sporty cruiser, that has plenty of low down torque so you can overtake in at 60km/h in 4th gear, without having to downshift. I'd be interested to see which car handles better though in the twisties. PS: Where are the pics of my car <_< and Silas' red SP23?!!? PPS: The SP23's interior/exterior is way better than the Sportivo and you know it :P [/Flamesuit: ON]

Thanks a lot lucio for organising the event and inviting non-toyotas :) I had fun and enjoyed meeting you Corollaras :D

Hmm.. maybe not. It's not listed on the spec sheet. http://corolla.toyota.com.au/TWR/content/static/9055.pdf

Me too, its very easy to apply, but unfortunately if you get the aerosol version, a lot of it goes to waste. If you can get some tyre wipes, then try the Hot Shine in a squirt bottle, goes for around $18. Lasts quite long, maybe 3 weeks depending on weather conditions. I use Megs Endurance Hi-Gloss as well, it is one of the best. Very very shiny, but very expensive for what it is ($20-22RRP). I've also tried Turtle Wax Wet Look, which can be found in K-Mart for $8. It's very cheap and delivers a black, slightly shiny, matte look. Doesn't last long, but its so cheap that you can apply it every week, without worrying.

Nah I dont think weight matters on a dyno, since your car is stationary. Maybe it should be best toyota instead?

lol, chill out man.. I'm not even in the Stock comp, I was just concerned about the other stock rollas It's great to see that people are so accepting when it comes to other cars. The Mazda and Opel people were invited to make the events of the day a bit mixed up.... i would get bored seeing 20 corollas in a row get very close to the same reading... Yes it is a TOCAU event, but it doesnt mean that everyone else has to miss out. ← Ye, I agree with you HD.. The 3rd and 4th categories don't even exist anyway.. Lucio has cleared it up, we got: Best Stock Corolla a.1zzfe b.2zzge Best Modified Corolla a.1zzfe b.2zzge Best N/A Best Forced Induced I hope you can make it Danz.. shout your friends dinner on Friday night!

I reckon a replacement panel filter = not stock any more. Stock should mean no changes to engine whatsoever. Does that mean that a panel filter from Toyota Service and a panel filter from autobarn or supercheap auto as a replacement is a modification? A better definition is required, replacement of a "filter" to another "filter" is not deamed a modification by insurance companies, while extra tubing and CAI is. I would suggest that a normal-sized direct replacement panel filter, no matter the brand is a non-modifications. Obviously the insurance companies assume the same. ← Well, if you send it back to Toyota and get an OEM panel filter then of course its still considered stock. If something goes wrong with your engine, it will be covered under warranty. But if you get a K&N panel filter (or any other for that matter), then that has a possibility to void your warranty. K&N also advertises that their panel filters improve your car's performance. Anyway, I'm sure Lucio (or whoever is organising the prizes) will clear this up.

I reckon a replacement panel filter = not stock any more. Stock should mean no changes to engine whatsoever. I don't think that exists on the list of people coming.

Ye, good question danz.. Since I'll be rocking up late, no doubt my name will be at the end of the list. I dont want to find out at 5pm that there are too many cars and theres not enough time to do mine.. After all, Lucio did say this:

Putting tyre shine on motorbike tyre sidewalls would look pretty weird, so I can understand why he did the whole tyre.. hahah

Likewise for me.. That sounds like a very fair idea.. I like Ow, I love my tyre shine :P

oww, that sucks for me.. I can only make it at 12-1pm.. maybe I should come at around 3pm then instead?

Welcome mate, nice car too! I almost thought you had an Integra (DC5).. those headlights look very similar

I can only be there after 12pm, is that ok?

Thanks for the update guys! This sounds good lucio. Do they give printouts?

Are you still alive IZZ-FE?

Any news IZZ??

im in baby! welcome back IZZ-FE!!

Doesnt the 120i use run flat tyres though? I could be wrong. ← You're right, all new BMWs use run flat tyres. I think it's not road worthy to be driving around without a spare. Or something along the lines of that.
