Your observational abilities and insights astound me at times dude lol. Spooky. But its true. I know the watch dog forced petrol company to lower the price because of profiteering issues, but I think one of other reason is perhaps the government is trying to save local manufacturer. That includes Toyota. However, the customers wins because by the end of the day we gets the real benefit really. Plus, it saves many people from losing their jobs.

I wonder if the recent petrol price has got something to do about saving australian made car with big capacity and petrolholic manner. I think when it comes 'best car' is very subjective.

Make sure you all fit flex-joint between the downpipe and the Cat. This header is not a bolt on too, so chopping and welding is required.

Brain was being creative, due to insane amount of lavazza espresso and countless Marlboro. Ahaha. I was bored and then I found out about K&N ranges of filters, which available in many2 sizes inc small ones that will fit into the box. So I thought why not try, esp that day was boxing day so autobarn sells cheap, but unfortunately they need to order it so I coudln't be bothered.

I was about to say it can be done, and now you have real life picture. I was about to do this also, before christmas eve, but local Autobarn need to order in the shape, angle and size of the K&N filter, so I couldnt be bothered. But hey, someone beats me to it and boy that looks great. REVIEW PLEASE. Oh what filter is that by the way?

That reminded me of Lancia Stratos dual-charger rally machine. Its so powerful its got a mind of its own according to the rally driver. Kill some of its driver too. Brashboy got dual-charger for Sportivo too.

Maybe they will under TRD brand. Who knows?

Its true. And the best is when accelerating pass 4000rpm to max rpm. It generates that lovely buzzing sound, not bassy note. Kinda like a bee buzzing noise. This is the sort of sound u get from buying expensive japanese muffler.

I don't think the Neil Bates Corolla Rally car runs on ST205 Celica GT-4 chassis. Its Corolla chassis fabricated to fit the ST205 drivetrain, suspension and engine. On one of the Speed magazine issues, they have pictures of how about they do the conversion. It even said that Neil Bate bought the Corolla from one of the Canberra dealership. I remember what he said - anyone with fabrication skills can do it. Waw, thats encouraging. Now, that issue is long time ago, so if they are using ST205 chassis for its current form, then I guess turning the Corolla to RWD is still possible since Neil Bates did convert std corolla to run all-paw.

Its insane looking, but i couldn't find the picture anymore. Its a long tube header, 4-2-1 configuration. As you can see the gain is where you wants it most in 2zz-ge.

NO But TRD does :) Very expensive too.

A-ha, finally a picture of the header. its a nice looking header and it works too. Kinda looked like a long-tube race header too :)

It's actually a CF printed headlight covers from South Africa. If I remember correctly, it was actually made in Australia, sold in South Africa, not available in Australia. TRD_141 told me.

rev cut 1st gear should be at 60km/h

I wonder why its called presidents photoshoot?

you meant 2zz-ge manifold is better on celica than corolla? I was told the same thing too from Meridian Motorsport. Then again, if you look carefully the manifold between celica 2zz-ge and corolla 2zz-ge is slightly different in its constructions and throttle body.

I believe HYPERX was owned by one of the very 1st member in this forum. He sold the car already. Lucio should remember. HYPERX was the one who organise the very first meet too.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-06-Toyot...sspagenameZWD2V This looks cool, variable size with 'VENTURI' effects, which meant to accelerate air as it pass through the piping. U$100 plus U$40 for shipping, thats a cool AU$170 only. You can check out the product information on www.simota.com

Speaking of Tiida. I saw a very smart looking one yesterday. Its got bodykit on it, persumably factory fitted, lowered with 17 inch.

Either you didn't wire it properly or Busted amplifier

is it just me, or the car looks like a cadilac.

I thought its 1.93 litres, being dubbed 2 litre.

I think its normal in a Corolla. You only get it when you drive on bad road do you? Gets even worse when using coilover.

OH yeah, I remember they can't take the harness out from my car. I think it is a good idea to raise it.

your tyre is way oversize. it should be 215/40/17 or 205/45/17
