its annoying that im so busy too :(...

the night of our little silvers thing i am having a night out with my work mates... so i will only be able to hang out with you for the daytime...

sounds crazy :P

its been so dead here lately... damn all these full time workers and internet blocking and project cars and people whinging about whoring...

:(

then again im not one to talk as ive been busy too... but i miss the action!

hey,

i dont know too much about OBD-II.. i've been researching to work out what i can get with my carputer..

i know that every car built after 1996 has an OBD-II socket thingo... im not sure where it is in the ae112, but in the zze series, its located on the right side of the drivers side footwell, very near the bonnet release lever...

now as far as OBD-II scanners go, you'll need to get 1 of 3 different protocols... its like ISO something, and the other 2 are SAE something... toyota use the ISO protocol... hang on ill get the actual code...

ok toyota use ISO 9141 circuitry as far as i can see on this page:

http://www.obdii.com/background.html

as far as places to get an OBD-II scanner, ebay is a good place to start... they have heaps of scanners that will just show you the engine warning code, and then there's billions of websites you can check what the code means...

otherwise you can get an OBD-II serial cable thing that you can plug into your laptop and it will give you real time engine warning and probbaly what they mean and other fancy things... not sure of prices but check ebay - its generally the cheapest...

what like you being a silver member?

congratulations and welcome to all our newest silver members! :D

lol well ive had my 1 hour of uni for the day... back to the lemon...

day is almost over for most people! almost time to go home...

afternoon - how good is today..

im going to uni..

mish you gotta stop thinking about cooking!

im working on the lemon, as usual... got a new centre console thing from a corona and a.. sigma? lol i dunno went to pick and payless and found 2 bits that would fit and we're sticking em together and bolting them in... actually looks pretty good - better than stock... and now there's room for our head unit and gauges and switches!! :D

hey kym... sorry ive been on and off the forums the last week or so...

i think mish has edited you in already, but if she hasnt ill fix it up...

who else is coming? we need a huge turnout from TOCAU if we're inviting other clubs! come on don't be soft!

who the hell says pauper these days anyway...

id like to second the vote that you shouldnt have missed her... what a freak.

ergh i gotta go to work at 1...

im so over working in a shopping centre... there's no natural light... you go in, its light. you come out, its dark. :(

i kinda want an outdoors job, but that would usually involve physical effort... or at least a job where i can see the sun :P

good fine pete! our resident upcoming cars guru delivers again!

lucky im a lazy *****... ill make a thread for that meet...

nice mate - good to see another year corolla..

any performance mods?

whats cracking kiddos?

Spotted a blue rolla with white rims on bettington rd North Rocks @ 2pm or so with green p plates on the windscreen... i think it was you Tom. :D

that'd be me!! woo i was spotted!!

actually just noticed you own the blue sedan - i saw you too.. it was between pennant hills road and kingsdene shops...

i also saw you on north rocks road a week or so ago pulling into the carpark just near the rexona factory...

that looks freakin sweet man! very professional!

good on ya!

maybe one day ill get round to that mod myself...

ill be there - dunno if ill run yet...

gotta see how the finances hold up i guess... im pretty sure i have a leak at the end of my extractors - so when i get that fixed up ill see what i have left... should get that done next week...

so annoyed about that though - they installed it and said 'there was a bit of a leak at the ball joint, but we're pretty sure we've fixed it.. if there's a problem bring it back and we'll fit a new ball joint in' .. so... i took it back, and now they want me to supply the ball joint (where am i going to get that from?) and they will charge me $150 or so to fit it cos everything's gotta come off again! :(

hey mate!

welcome!! its good to see the stickers are paying off :P

which sort of rolla do you drive? almost all the owners here drive zze model corollas... there's alot of sportvo's, but alot of 1zz powered corollas too (ascent, conquest and levin)...

enjoy your stay, come join in the chat threads (king of the hill etc) and make some great friends!

cheers,

Tom

i cant get cable fox in my street :(

i can get satellite, but my old man won't pay for it, and im sure as hell not paying for it...

so nothing is what i pay for foxtel.

and that's what its all about here - letting it out..

here's my rant:

WHY IS IT THAT I CAN HAVE A TOOL IN MY HAND, PUT IT DOWN FOR 3 SECONDS, AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO FIND IT FOR A WEEK...

ive experienced too much of this lately...

actually it doesnt bother me that much, cos its not like it happens all the time... its just ridiculous...

how is everyone today?

who's avalon is that anyway? it must **** you not having that power and fun bill...

and then it will frustrate you having to caress the engine again for a while...

niiiccceeee - will have to try that sometime!

what's everyone been up to today? im STILL working on my lemon... its ALMOST back together!! just adjusting the brakes and getting the wheels better aligned... it will have to be taken to the shop for a real alignment tomorrow... first $ i would have spent on services for this car...

can i have your laptop then? :P

nah whereis does a decent job of maps, im just not on the computer for long enough to update them...

im hoping tonight if i have the hairy lemon back in one piece, ill have time to sit down and redo the maps and upload them onto here...

i cleaned mine for the first time over the weekend - if you look at the diode thing, its got a kinda clear amber colour to it, and you can see whatever it is inside the diode... well one side was amber, the other side was black and dusty... so cleaning it made it look better... i reset my ECU at the same time, but i hit the rev limiter and thrown everything out of whack, so ill reset again and let you know...

i bought contact cleaner from ***** smith - $12.95 per can...

yeah man everyone's invited - should be a terrific day!

list updated :)

maps will be updated when i get round to it... but for now just look at the directions to see which way we're going...
