I have a unichip in my car which was put in by the previous owner. I did intake, headers and exhaust first and then did the unichip. this was done years ago before there were other viable options for replacement ECUs. I think I have scans of dyno runs before and after the ECU change and there is a small power gain, but a much smoother curve. If I find them, I will try to post it up

I got the Xtreme chromoly flywheel a few years ago when i needed to get my clutch changed. the car felt a little bit more responsive, fuel consumption seemed to go up very very slightly, but was probably me enjoying the lightweight flywheel. my fuel consumption is now back to where it used to be (maybe me driving more sedate). From memory it was about $400 back then for the chromoly, but i didnt even look at getting an aluminium and shipping was 2 days from adelaide.

reconditioning starter Pro: price, environment (not throwing away something that could be repaired) cons: ?? are there any

Cause mine is dying... Its at the mechanics from this afternoon and they had a quick look and it is definately the starter motor, they are looking further into it in the morning and i am just finding out some details for then. Basically the symptom is the key is turned the starter motor sounds like its just free spinning and not turning the engine over...and if i stop and turn the key a few times, eventually it will turn over the engine.

I will be needing a new starter motor for my Corolla Sportivo, are Manual 1zz starters the same as manual 2zz starter?? Thanks Guys

It can only load as fast as the data can get pulled off of the HDD. Even though you now have a SATA drive which the cable supports faster bandwidth, the boot time may be limited by the data coming off the platters

I am currently at 135,000kms still without any gearbox problems, but the clutch was swapped out for exedy HD very early on and thats all its been running since. I know it copped a beating by Danthuyer before I bought it, but I also know he took care of it.

When I bought my car from Danthuyer, I am pretty sure he said that if you hold the gear knob in the reverse position it doesn't pop out (as you are preventing it) and it does go into lift.

I agree

More importantly, he will beat Virgin into space with the Kebab-ship

Having "road work ahead" signs and parked police cars and 40kph signs for like a kilometre and by the time you get to the supposed road works, there is only a parked truck on the side of the road, not even within metres of the shoulder and no workers to be found. No wonder road works take weeks to complete and the state budgets are tight. The council should fire all mangers and supervisors and get whip crackers in...and upper management for letting it get this way to start with.

From memory the facia is about $280 to buy from Toyota, I know someone who works in Servicing and I am pretty sure their buy price was around $190ex.

I quick drive around Mt Nebo can have a few decent shots along the way. Shopping centre car parks at night are usually well lit, there are some train racks and shipping containers stacked up just off kingsford smith dr.
