here is a game i found:

the aim is pretty simple - stop the bomb from exploding by working out some problems in 15 minutes

i managed to do it with 4:26 remaining - i think my IT subjects at uni helped a bit

anyway - good luck

i'm with rac, in  w.a., paid ~ $700/year. unfortunately they have a $750 allowance which does NOT cover performance mods. e.g. covers things like sterio system upgrades, etc.

best to check around for insurers that cover mods  ;)

i wish my insurance was $700 im currently paying $1750 as a 19 year old with RACV. For some insane reason they think i am a risk

i had an offer of $1300 with another company but they said if i have a crash my parents lose their rating all together (cars in my parents name)

Hey guys, my name is Thomas and im 19 and i live in east doncaster. Current car is a 2003 black corolla sportivo with a sunroof ... probably seen or most likely heard my car :)

no pics as of yet because it needs a wash

thats about it from this noob :D

catch,

thomas

im not 100% on attendance yet :(

definately want to come ... i just dont have access to my work hours at the moment (casual)... only getting shifts a couple of days in advance due to loss of several managers (fired.. oops)

will let you know as soon as possible

i found the boot thingo after many a long minutes under the car and it looked normal to me... no melting or charring had occured

i went for several long drives today and i have been unable to replicate the problem

my conclusion is:

possible chemicals on the break pads discs were causing the smell... my younger brother washed the car the other day and sprayed the tyres as well as the alloys(hes not the sharpest tool in the shed) with a tyre cleaner and wet look shine tyre spray stuff... maybe the smell was due to the chemicals and heat and whatever... hopefully it will not occur again

thanks for the reply shaohaok i really appreciate it

i would definately be up for a meet it would be my first too :D

on further investigation into the problem i have discovered that my clutch is fine... i put it down to aircon on full blast... 60 degree angle driveway (dont ask) ...so that is all cool thank ***...

this is what happens

upon driving the car (usually) minimum lift, normal driving, normal breaking etc i pull up at home in the driveway and i get a burning smell... it smells like the car has been thrashed (you know the smoldering break pad smell).. it smells just like that, but i purposely went about not breaking hard and it still appears

its not like burning oil it just smells like its been through 200km/h break tests for a day

any ideas would be appreciated.. thanks

i may have another problem :(

i was going up my driveway today (really steep and you have to ride the clutch a bit to get up it) and it felt like the clutch didnt work properly and kept itself half engaged and non-engaged and the car struggled up the driveway.... it was at normal rpm levels at about 2-2500...

about 2 seconds later the car fills with a burning smell... im thinking clutch is the cause

your thoughts guys? .. im just worried because i just bought this car :(

thanks in advance

thanks for the replies guys

i had a look on the drivers side door near the hinge and there was no sticker:( .... i was just wondering if there was any other way to tell?

thanks again

Hey everyone

I purchased a corolla sportivo recently (black with sunroof, 15k's :D ) without any rattles, suspension knocks, gearbox/clutch issues or any other problems so i am extremely happy

When asked about the recall for the ecu, cables etc he said it had been done. I was just wondering if there was a way to check?

thanks in advance
