  1. I have owned two toyotas in my car history: #1 - 1984 Silver Corolla Wagon 5spd: This was my first car and was an absolute trooper. It took me from Penrith to Frenchs Forrest for work regularly. When it finally had problems it blew a head gasket before the tolls on the M2 and still managed to take me the rest of the way to work and then all the way home that evening (Granted it did use 5L of oil on the way home) #2 - 2005 Red Corolla Sportivo 6spd: This is my second car and somewhat of an upgrade from the vintage wagon that I first owned. It has been my baby for nigh on 2 years now and the first car I've put any mods into. What else is there to say about them but sporty and still being economical. I think all sportivo owners have fallen in love with 'Lift' from the moment they felt it.
  2. It's a brand new car it should be perfect. If the car has a scratch already it means the value is decreased if you decide to turn around tomorrow and sell it. If they fix it will they do it properly? Are the going to use touchup paint or will they replace or respray the whole pannel. It's a whole lot of hassle for such a small thing but I would not accept it in anything less then 'Showroom condition'
  3. There is a silver 04 rolla parked in my street right now. Gold Rims, Clear Tail lights and TRD Badges. I've never seen it there before and now I'm curious about who's it is :P
  4. Have you tried a good polish/buffing?
  5. Seems a bit like The Simpsons without Homer...
  6. I cant seem to find much else about it other then it's an 8.3 second drag skyline. :( He doesnt have anymore videos of it up there which is a shame. I'd love to find some proper specs for it.
  7. I've always been such a fan of gold rims on a white car. This is another shining example.
  8. Yeah I think you've made a great choice with these. I see so many bad rims on all types of cars it's very refreshing to see something nice for a change :)
  9. There really is no better way to destroy your handling then cutting springs :(

    I have a set of these (205/55/16) on my '05 Sportivo. They are around 5000 k's old and I can say I would highly recommend them thus far. They have a nice grip to them and not alot of road noise.
  11. Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load! The encore :D
  12. It's an 8.3 second drag skyline aparently. There is a part two I will post in a second where he plants it while already moving. It's awesome :)
  13. Yeah there is also the issue of hypocracy from those who are calling for blood. They can't say they've never sped before and 190km/h over the limit is no worse then 10km/h because speeding kills right?
  14. I can think of nothing worse then smoking in a car >_< It must smell so terrible. Then again I suppose you don't notice it when your a smoker...but still.
