  1. Another interesting statistic is the car being able to stop from its max speed (400 km/h) to a complete stop in 10 seconds :D yer but in that 10 seconds it covers over 100metres or something crazy like that :)
  2. no front bumper scratches... the side skirts are lower then the front bumper... and the underbody is even lower again... and the exhaust piping is even lower than that :) i got my first scuff (wont class it as a scratch) today on the underbody :) damn mini speedhumps im sure ill get some at some stage.. now that my cars been dumped
  3. I think i have the "V" spiders living on my car... they like to windscreen surf... they stand there.. then go all flat when i accelerate.. i try tricking them sometimes by going really slow.. then when they make a break for it.. i floor it.. funny watching a spider go up over your roof :)
  4. I find BOND very good to cruise with too.. especially long trips favourite song atm.. Joey Scarbury - Believe it or not if you havent seen the old TV show "greatest american hero" you are too young :)
  5. not anymore... people were offered the bargain of the century.. and didnt bite.. so now they can bite me! :) Im keeping the stivo.. theres no way id lower it only to sell it a short time after.. and yes Rims are on the list.. but not until my current tyres wear out.. and i rekon they have at least 20,000ks left in em
  6. Get low boys... inspired by Eddy.. friggen handles and drives so much better... feels almost sportier too.. closer to the ground
  7. with 2 12's in the boot... how could i listen to anything but dance/trance/techno and sometimes RnB... Hell i listen to pretty much anything..
  8. MUST RESIST TEMPTATION!... tob job eddy.. now i must be the only hilux stivo in melbourne :(
  9. run your fingernail over it.. if it gets caught on the scratch its too big for the meguairs stuff.. if its only a scuff... then no worries.. I am the scratch touch up master with my car :) although a buffer certainly does make it look friggen horn
  10. i think im still winning the "Most Thirsty Stivo" comp with 12.75lts per 100kms
  11. There was a drag day just the other day.. BanGn was running high 14's!.. plenty of people running 15's as well
  12. does that $1299 for the first one include 4 tyres as well? or $1299 for just the rims?
  13. sponge is just as bad if not worse... a sponge traps the dirt between itself and the car.. creating fine scratches all over the car... you wont really notice a light coloured car... but its definetly noticeable on a dark blue stivo :( (well not anymore :P ) all car lovers and high pressure wash places use recycled water.. well 95% of them do.. this is what you get with washing at home using good products and elbow grease
  14. goodluck with the paint then... The car lovers are a big no no... I learnt the hard way.. especially the Brush they have.. it will leave fine scratches all over your car.. it took me 4 hours to clean, polish and buff my car back to a satisfactory condition Now i only use the 2 bucket method at home... Never again will i use Car Lovers.. its just not worth the pain and effort to get the paint back to a good condition
  15. The refinery has been offline.. Just came back to life now.. not sure why but the Ultimate should start showing up again now
  16. Tried resetting your ECU?.. thats what i did and got heaps better economy
  17. http://members.optusnet.com.au/marspods/Stivo.wmv thats the best recording of a CAI in LIFT i have
  18. Eyelids are pretty pointless on the new stivos.. and you cant replace the grille
  19. I use meguairs and mothers... The meguairs NXT is just so easy to use...
  20. common knowledge... they only reason they still exist is there are enough stupid people in the world to fall for this kind of crap
  21. It is the Belt tensioner... i had the exact same problem... engine at low rpms.. in 1st or 2nd gear... all fixed now though
  22. Nah all victorians turn the wrong way :P
