Just a thought... Is signing up to our fourm to sell stuff really that bad? Its ur choice whether to buy the item or not. If u think the seller is shady have a chat with him/her over msn or something, and get to know them and the item. Apart from the group of ppl that have a reputation on TOCAU, i wouldnt really trust anyone else on here with regards to money. Theres always a risk when buying/selling things online. For example that guy "hoho" doesnt reply to the post obviously wont get anything sold here, and i had to email him over and over to get info.. and i didnt end up getting anything from him anyway. And on the other hand, when i was selling my wheels the buyer PM me and we had a good chat over msn for 20mins and we had a deal! i even gave him a discount cause of that. If there are ppl from other fourms with universal parts, why not let them sell here? i see it as a better opportnity for us! I've already posted my muffler and already sold my subs on the oztoyota fourm and i never post there cause its all echos and yaris, but the guy in sydney that bought my subs was really happy that i posted there, otherwise he wud never have known, and no-one in TOC wanted my subs., As for commerical sellers posing as individuals, i think it will become quite obivious as they will keep having stuff for sale and have large quanties avaliable, ie 3 bumpers, 5 sets of HIDs, 4 sets of kings springs... And if u experienced some doggy sellers (slow delivery, not honest about item quality/condition) warn others if they post/sell again. See it as a opportunity! It'll be obivous if they are shady, its the internet, theres always a risk.

That was a tough day for toyota.. :( I have a feeling that ralf's engine blow was partly due to following rubens for so long. at least we can say that the toyota was faster than honda if ralf had one extra lap of fuel he would have gottin in front of rubens <_< :( good to see schey showing alonzo whos boss again Ferrari has won at home Schey has won at home Can alonzo won at home? it'll be a huge race in 6 days time... and i suspect Kimi will finially join the fight up front again hope our beloved toyota does well. ;)

Looks like we'll need to find a bigger place to fit all the rolllas next week :D BTW Donna thats a sweet shot off mt cootha B)

I cant read Jap.. but does it come with HID? (last frame)

Euro GP DRIVERS: Fernando Alonso Michael Schumacher TEAM: MacLaren POLE: Kimi Räikkönen FASTEST LAP: Kimi Räikkönen Was gonna wait til the 1st 2 practices... but cbf.. ;) This is sort of Toyotas home race... so i hope they do well.

Yup i'll be interested :D :D

Thanks for your concern. But I do trust my feelings and I choose to use Optimax. I have tried Caltex and others, and found Optimax does v.well in my 1zz, plus im getting great mileage out of it (might be different story with 2zz, i dunno). Not saying the other fuels are crap or not as good as Opti but i use it case i get better value. BTW Shell is doing v.well here in Bris their always packed when i go to fill up.

really? optimax "cleans" ur engine while u drive :D but i use it cause i shop at Coles and dad gives me his additional 4c/10c off vouchers from his Source Mastercard

Fulda update: - Dry: Very very nice and grippy. I've never driven on preformance tires prior to these so can't compare with others, but the traction is impressive and a comfortable ride too - Wet: Drove though a strom on the highway over the weekend, and i was amazed to say the least. No aquaplating and went through puddles like it wasnt there :o it just cut straight through and didnt feel a thing Naturally I'm very happy with these.. (perhaps i've just experienced the world of performace tires )

Haha yeah i sud mod it and bring it back next service

Yeah F1 cars use better fuels (each team use different ones/bands). Ferrari road cars are "highly recommend" to use Optimax

Went to service my car the other day and they left this seatcover: I dont have that many mods on my car but i get a feeling that they're trying to tell me something <_< Oh and they also left my parking light on <_< <_<

If Shell is good enough for a Ferrari its good enough for my rolla

Saw a orange one of these today on Mains Road (Qld): the plate was [bIG 455] ....i guess [FAT 455] was taken

Was waiting at the lights on a up hill behind a rav4 with tow bar. The "soccer mum" driver decides to pick up something from the passenger floor and obivously she had short legs cause the car started to roll back. I had nowhere to go jammed in traffic, so beeped at her for a good solid 10secs (even the car beside me helped out too) and inevitably she hit me got out of the car and saw that her tow bar bent a corner of my plate to a full 90degrees. went up to the driver and told her wat happend and the b!tch was like... "what? really? i didnt even realise or heard anything.. are u sure?" luck it was just the plate and no damage to the bumper.

sounds like a serious problem. as others said, need to take it to the shop and get the "experts" to check it out, and maybe get them to test drive it too so they know wat ur talking about. good luck.

I actually got my whiteline front strut fitted tonite at the meet On the drive home noticed the improvements immediately B) the car handles the corners so much better. I even took the long way home so that i could go though more turns and corners

Its natural for cars to pull to the left cause the roads are "slightly" convexed so that rain water will run off the road into the gutters.

In Brisbane I've seen: - a Lexus with [TOYOTA] - some done up sports car with [uRNEXT] - Matching mercs with [HIS] and [HERS] - done up RX7 with [uJUDGE]

Thanks for the comments :D Yeah gotta watch out for the curbs.. didnt have any problem with the previous set for 3 years so sud be fine with these ;) The car is not polished, just used the "Armourall Wash&Wax" wash solution and dry with synthetic chamois B) easy!

Got the.. Advanti Vapour 17" x 7" Fulda Carat Exelero 215/40R17 ..fitted yesterday and went trigger happy today :D I think the wheels are quite unique and suits the black rolla quite well (hence why i got it :D ) And i must thank Northy and SB for their tip on the tires... they're amazing thus far (will give another feedback once their worn in a bit more)

Will be there with my shinny new rims!! :D :D :D ...finally Will take some picks today B)

Plenty of auto 1.8s will be out there.... alot of the BG boys run 1.8L autos... one of them is chasing a 17sec quarter...single overhead cam and bugger all done to his engine... Sweet.. looks like im racing :D btw whos BG boys?

Woohoo still in the lead :P :D :D Good job Superdave! 23pt in one race B)

Honda choked indeed (considering only 1 driver is performing so far) but Button had decent pace would have made the podium if not for the 2 x pitstop screw ups. Mclaren didn't do too well either, Raikonen was disappointing with Montoya being lucky coming in 3rd reeling in others misfortunes. Bad luck for Toyota too, they had alright pace from Ralph but not good enough to catch the front runners. Schuey's Ferrari was quick, had a bit more straight line speed with their B-spec engine it seems. Alonso was consistently quick as usual with a very fine package, just bad luck its Imola and he couldn't pass at all for like 30laps.. and i think if the other teams don't buck up Renault is gonna run away with it like last year. Interesting to see that there will always be one driver from each team performing poorly.. Barichello, Raikonen, Fisichella, Trulli, Massa... Trulli didnt perform poorly, his car had steering column problems, he even overtook kimi off the line :D . Im still puzzled on why they kept Ralf on a 3 stopper <_< everyone else was 2 stopping and sud have changed wen they realise that it wasnt goin to work. Well toyota was never good at Imola so i guess its not a big lost in a way Personally its good to see Schu win again, theres been alot of trash talk on the champ, so this will shut them up B) and wot a place to do it :D disappointing day for Honda and McLaren... honda just had a mess of a race (and jenson coped a shot in the head ) and barrichello wasnt even fast.. and to rub it in more, this was supposed to be their best chance in winning . At least Montoya got 3rd. Glad this GP was out of the way.. found it a bit boring due to the lack of overtaking.. and wots with the tv director?! didnt show anyone else apart from schuey and alonso lol the TEN ppl got all ****** off cause they didnt show Webber the whole time
