  1. Hi Guys, Done mine today at 7 days Tyres, they did use the heat gun and the rolling thing. http://www.7daytyres.com.au Address: 7 Days Tyres & Wheels 15 - 21 Parramatta Rd Granville NSW Australia 2142 Phone: 02 9760 2500 $70 to roll up the rear guards, job done OK, as long as no crack on paints, test drive on few big bumps and no more scrubbing tyres.
  2. Hi hi Rolla Boy, Thanks.. Are you talking about the Tempe Tyres in Princes Highway?? Hehe, guess what I have a quote from MRT for $95 per guard lol
  3. Hi Guys, I own a 03 Stivo and currently using 16" +38offset rims, which is wider than standard. My rear tires are rubbing the guard when drive on bumpy roads. The guard only touch the tires little bit so I think roll the guard will do. Anyone have this done to your car? Any good place for me to visit in Sydney so I can roll the guard little bit?? Cheers Zenkins
  4. did you do an ECU reset?? i get better fuel consumption with CAI.. before was getting 580-620 ks a tank (i drive HARDDD though so i was happy) now i get 650-700 ... still driving VERY hard and stilll very very happy :) always used 98 octane fuel though... Yes, I did reset the ECU, but still use more petrol compare to standard airbox lol.. by the way, I normally using V-Power or Votex, but I get stuck in traffic for at least an hour everyday (excepted Sat and Sun), so might be at idle or low rpm my car use more petrol with CAI than std airbox.. not sure lol.. I normally get 480~500km a tank, but with the CAI is only up around 420~450km a tank now. Does anyone have any A/F dyno figures with standard airbox compare to CAI??
  5. I have the AEM CAI installed 2 months ago on my 03 stivo. Yup, it's great on the top end, especially during lift and you will said "WoW" The only cons with the CAI is my car use lot more petrol than before, and slower on the low end (1000~3000rpm) with just the CAI mod. I think, CAI is good if getting mod with exhaust and ECU, or something like E-managment or CAMCON.
  6. Kool GtiRboy.. :D There are few car wash cafe' around my area, but sometimes you just want to spend some time with your hand to wash your own car lol.. :P
  7. Kool Kool.. I give them a call.. :D Thanks a lot..
  8. Hi all, Just purchased a sec hand CAMCON and looking for somewhere to tune it. I don't have any A/F gauge so I think better to do it on Dyno .. I search around especially on TOCA, found out people talk about TODA dyno tune CAMCON for $250~300?? Are they in NSW?? if anyone could give me their address that would be great!!~ If anyone have other suggestions, feel free to let me know too..
  9. Hi Saintly, Thanks for your info, but we only have underground car park, and no water supply in there. I think it would be easier to clean the car somewhere else lol..
  10. I am using 205 16" 50 F1 GSD3 Thailand made... -little bit nosiy compare to standard rolla stivo tyres. -Good in wet, give you trust during rainy days. :P -corners OK, tyres will scream before it reach the limit, easy to predict, great control feeling. -donno about tyres wearing as my tyres still very new, but compound feel soft, I assume it won't last that long.
  11. I found the fuel cut affect by type of fuel we use.. When I be tigh a.s.s and put normal premium on my car, somehow it allow to rev 8200~8300rpm... When I give goodies 98 Octane fuel, it cut-out 7800rpm!! :o I donno would that be affect by weather too, but that's what I experiences so far.. but honestly, the power is drop between 7800~8300rpm with standard ECU anyway, I think just drive the car within rev limit is good enough, unless you really need to keep high rev on some certain corners lol..
  12. Don't worry too much, as long as the needle not in red zone lol.. :P
  13. Hi Blue_Rolla, Do you have the actual address?? I'm new in Sydney so still donno many places.. :P I search the suburb you told and it's about 15km away from my home, songs alright with me.. Do you guys go there often? If yes, we might able to meet somedays together lol.. :P Yes Nek, Not allow due to Strata in Sydney.. I really hate apartment, noisy, less privacy, no party, NO CAR WASH~~ :( bad luck we in contract, can't wait to move out next year~ Does it actually state that you are not allowed to wash your car? Ive washed my car at my mates apartment before, no one says anything :)
  14. Hi Nek, I wish to wash my car in front of my house, but I'm living in Apartment now and not allow lol.. :(
  15. Hi all, I living in West Ryde area, and there is only One DIY car wash place close to the train station, but it is real suck, the place is dirty and the water guy feel gummy when you hold it. Does anyone know any DIY car wash place close to West Ryde?
  16. Um... seems like they want your car for selling parts more than really towing service.. :( Do you remember, have you sign any paper before they tow your car away? If the tow guy tell you it will cost that much to get the car back from their place, I think your will tow the car straight back to home. Just my opinion, find some panel shops that you trust and ask their advice, you might able to sell the car to panel shops and they will find the way to get your car back.. If your engine and gearbox is still alive with no crack, I think it still worth more than $1200 tow fees.
  17. Hi, I drove back from Sydney to Melbourne during Easter break, The rev was keeping 3~4000rpm on 6 gear. I through it will drink up lots of petrol, but suprise me it take 580km before the fuel light ON. During busy traffic in Sydney, I can only make 470~500km before the fuel light ON. It is pretty happy to have a econ car combine with good speed lol. :D
  18. Hi Guys.. I called up Toyota on last week, gave the VIN number and they told me is Africa brakes.. Lucky I do not listen to them and at the end took the wheel out and have a look and found out it is Jap brake. :( Below is the front brake of my car, if anyone donno what type of brake on your car, you can compare to the below picture. At the end I ordered the EBC Green stuffs, and finially have a chance to put it on today, so far so good. If anyone interest in GreenStuffs, below is the part no: Front EBC Green for Jap: DP21325 Rear EBC Green (all the same): DP21326 Hope this info could be handy.. :P
  19. I think is just mud or stone guards... whatever it is, I just ignore it lol.. :P
  20. Thanks Bozurolla, I will give Toyota a call tomorrow, hope they will give me answer.. :)
  21. Thanks MAP81, I did try to search, but donno is my rolla a Jap or Thai brakes.. Do anyone know how to check?? mine is 03 Corolla Sportivo..
  22. Thanks Nek, Will contact Dsports tomorrow..
  23. Thanks guys.. Yes, I did think about DIY, but too lazy to do it. If there is something bolt on would be best choice. I think the only choice is to call up my friends in HK and see what they can get for me..
