  1. sorry bout the crappy pic only one i had

    image037qg5.jpg

    i actually have a crazy idea....

    if i can dismount the tail light cover

    then i can go to any perspex/clear plastic moulding factories to get the tail light covers fabricated to the exact dimension

    that way...i can have my chrome tail lights (coz the base of the tail lights is already silver-ish, i can spray paint more silver powder to make it look shinier)

    am i out of my minds?

    does anyone know how to dismount the tail light cover (not the bulb) from the car?

  2. i have been using v power for 2months now, and when i warm my car up in the garage(garage door open) and i hardly can smell any fume, so i reckon its fairly clean, and v power had this friction protection or what ever they calls it, anyone know what that is

    V-power is more dense than other commercial petrols on the market

    That's why when it is combusted, it also protects the rubbing parts in the piston and enhance a more complete combustion

    The additives in the petrol also helps against wears and damages, such as the slight amount of extremely-long-chained alcohol groups and isotops of octane

    if you are keen to know the exact ingredient...take about 20ml of petrol to any high school or university ...and do a titration of organic compounds...but keep away from fire!! :blink:

  3. As a proud owner of a 2007 ZRE152R Corolla Accent 6 speed manual, I'm a bit weary about the engine performance the car. Its true that the new model is now heavier than the model it replaces and has affected the cars performance and fuel consumption.

    Lately I have been filling the car up with either Shell Unleaded 95 and United PLUS ULP (with 10% ethanol). Both of which I have not seen in real improvements to the performance of engine. I usually get about 7.6L/100km to 7.8L/100km. Later down the track I'll be filling it up with BP Ultimate and see how that goes.

    Are there any other 2007 ZRE152R Corolla owners who have made any performance gains from filling up with other peformance fuel?

    realistically speaking...the brands of fuel (whether BP, Caltex or Shell) and classes of fuel (92, 95, 98, ethanol) do not contribute that much to performance (power) and efficiency (fuel consumption ratios).

    Yes, slight changes in performance and/or efficiency are possible, but they are far beyond the magnitude to make some "real differences", such as making the rolla like a V8 or consuming below 7L/100km. Rolla's enginer are only 4 cylinders after all...

    However, one significant difference that the brands and type of fuel can make is the protection of your engine. 98 petrols (such as V-power and Ultima) release exhausts that are 30~50 times LESS carbon than 92, and 20~35 times LESS carbon than 95. That will mean a far less level of carbon residue to your piston and other moving parts of the engine

    In a simple laboratory experiment we have conducted, feeding 92, 95 and 98 petrols to a simple Villiers Engine (the foundamental engine that all car engines bulid on) and let the engine run for 6 hours at 2000rpm. At the end of 6 hours:

    * 92 petrol: wears and scratches are eye-visible on most moving parts

    * 95 petrol: wears and scratches are microscopic on some moving parts

    * 98 petrol: same as 95, but the severity of damages is less

    Usually performance and efficiency are trade-offs, it is very hard to get both with current technology.

    If you prefer performance more than efficiency... then there are many options such as CAI, bore-up or even turbo charges

    If you prefer efficiency more than performance... then...probably drive slower is the only option...@.@

    So yeah...hope this can help you...

  4. sedan tail lights?

    maybe you can import them asia somewhere.. but i dun think they are readily available in australia dude.

    and yea.. i dont think 05 is prefacelift? i dont think sedans got facelifted anyway.. it was just the hatches.

    by the way the black corolla you posted up isnt one of ours.. thats the european model by the looks of it.

    if you could get that exact bar, youd need to modify it to fit.

    check carmate.com.au for fibreglass bodykits..

    Thanks mate, the website is good!!! and its in sydney too! hahah

    i've heard that nextmod can help us with importing? maybe i should ask them about the taillights u think?

  5. G'day guys!! I am another newbie here in this forum and would like to join TOCAU!!

    I got my corolla sedan (conquest) in 2005 and I am in love with it since! sedan rockz!! :P

    I am looking for Clear-Chrome rear lights for my rolla, something like this pic below (they are Astra's rear lights):

    ultra_VA78L69.jpg

    or like this

    ultra_VA51L66.jpg

    The reason for clear-chrome rear lights is because my rolla is white....i tried to use photoshop to simulate different colours of rear lights on my white rolla. The ink-based rear lights that TRD supplies made my rolla look like zibra's bumbum...not sexy at all!!!

    It will be much much much appreciated if anyone knows where/how/who can I get a pair of clear-chrome rear lights for corolla!!

    Btw, I am based in Sydney!

    Camera's battery is flat at the moment, once it is charged up then I will post my rolla's pic up!

    Question 2: I like this kind of front bumper/lip/skirt (what's the proper name?) shown below, does anyone know where to get them? and approx how much does it cost?

    mid_motordrome_corolla.jpg

    any other good suggestions of stylish (but not too expensive) body kits (assume comes with all front, side and rear?)

    Thanks for answering these questions!!! If they have been asked before, my apologies here and hope that my rookie questions wont insult anyone!!

    enjoy long wkend

  6. Hi All,

    Our next monthly meet will be in sydney on the 29th of Sept which is the last sat of this month.

    So we are planning to meet up at the usual villawood spot at 8pm and either go from their or just hang out for a while.

    Now this month it happens that its a long weekend so if we dont have much interest because of people going away and the fact that there are 3 other big meets by other clubs on the sunday let me know and we'll give this a miss ..... so please post up if your coming or not.

    Here is a map of where we meet
