damn that MR2 looks shexc with that kit.. ill drive that even if ppl know its fake and laugh at me.. but im sure the chicks will b digging the hell out of it :o

Howdy All

Although I have checked out the posts in the past week, this is my numero uno post...

First impressions of the Rolla stivo = great little car which couldnt have been even better if Toyota pulled their finger out. My mates Clio sport is evident of that but its the sixe of an echo and when my feet are on the pedals, my knee is jammed against the steering wheel...ahh well. My gearbox hasnt been the smoothest while entering 'lift' and I had originally thought that to do be my'getting used to the car' feel...it appears it may not be after all.... That aside, I was looking into upgrading the rims on my little silver surfer, I have noticed that 17's seem popular but with dropping prices of 18's, I was looking at some Apec Septik's in 18 inch with a 215/40 tyre. Any idea peoples why 17 seems to be the way to go?

Looks like there is plenty room for 18's..perhaps its cost? or maybe the reduced straight line performence?

Your experiences/opinions are most appreciated!

if its cold air that u're making, better use K&N as it is oiled type. Blitz is dry type, so i won't use it for cold air.

Short ram? Mmmm, maybe Blitz if u get it for the same price. Dry is usually has more suction but less filteration of dirt, but its short ram so would be fine.

←

nah its not short ram.. might b similar to ur intake system danz.. just hope the outcome of the gain is almost the same

Yeah K&N is what ill prob purchase ;)

No need for water, just unzip the fly and ***** on it.

←

Might need the pepper and tweezers to find it first

←

Its gona have to be one big pair of tweezers :P might have to get CES to make me a custom pair stainless steel :P

←

thats going to cost u an arm and a leg for it :P

thanx for all ur opinion guys .. im gonna go for K&N..

i read somewhere

k&n was better

so get that haha

but yeah..upto u i guess

←

ok

if i dun like it ill swap with u yeah??? if u cant b bothered taking off the cai den we'll just swap ignition keys B)

but isnt Blitz more top $ over K&N?

←

yeah because its got more reputation man

your paying more for the brand name than what it actually does

←

im paying same for both ... just dunno which 1 to chose from..

but isnt Blitz more top $ over K&N?

34 and feeling it

←

how do u feel? lol

"oh what a feeling!"

Hi guys,

My car will be in my mates workshop for a custom made intake system .. but i cant decide which filter to combine with the intake system...

His asked if i wanted K&N or Blitz , both brands are A+. Can you guys throw me some opinions on which 1 would b better? ;)

Cheers guys

If ur from victoria i can introduce u to a guy that tinted my car.. he works at Tint-A-Car .. but also has his own bussiness after hrs at home .. alot of ppl have tinted it there and his alwayz booked out ...

do these places do illegal tints? such as below 35%

i want about 20%

←

Yes there is a variety of different types of Film. ;)

when you get the tyres balanced, ask them to balance them up to 130km/h

←

asked dem already

they say its set to its highest...

dont know what they on about but outcome is the same

got the same freakin problem after i got my new tyres fitted ..while driving 100-125 ... got it alignment and balanced about 3 times .. the last guy that balanced the tire said the rims were not even and i have to get it re-rolled again..

maybe urs is the same?

cbf any more so just drive it as it is .. get used to it ..

as they mentioned a bypass relay to work with ur stock immoboliser will do the trick.. i've asked already .. cost another $250-300 to get it working with my viper.. but lots of ppl do not recommend it. Some ppl say it plays around with ur alternator.

Welcome to the toyota forum :)

so which part of highpoint is it brandon ?

sunday seems like a good day

i hope u guys have enough time to spray all the pads. 

←

It's behind highpoint. Warrs Rd to be exact. Keep driving along Gordon St towards highpoint until u reach the end and you'll be there. A9 or B9 Page 28 on the latest melway reference. You'll know you're almost there after passing 2 round-a-bouts.

BYO stuff :P :P :P ... but sharing is caring ;)

we probably wont have time to spray all 4 wheels. or maybe we will :P

Let's just hope it doesn't rain :)

←

so is it the end of warrs rd or the beginning? or highpoint carpark? i dun have latest melway .. i use www.street-directory.com.au
