  1. Looks sick! Any more info on the ST246W Caldina? :P
  2. Not trying to be smart, but have you thought about getting good sport tyres for your GT-P's instead of going straight to an R-compound tyre? I'm assuming you may have done one or two track days but if you haven't then exploring the upper limits of grip for an R compound would mean you'd have to be pushing quite hard to get them to squeal/lose grip pending the conditions of the day ect. I've attended track days where guys on sports tyres have been noticeably quicker than others on semi slicks as road tyres can offer a greater feedback to learning lines and technique before going straight to outright grip. Just my 2c
  3. lol once again - just like my car. The paint on my mirrors was chipping more with every wash, it got to a stage where almost 1/3rd of the paint was gone on the drivers side before I scored a set of genuine Ganador mirrors for a good price. 612 Auto also helped me change the diff bushes as well
  4. Very reminiscent of my Chaser. Although I had the 100k service done again as I had a leaking cam seal even though the major service had apparently been done prior. Changing the diff bushes (with OEM ones) was about one of the best things I did, made changing gears so much nicer. That and the fact that it almost stopped axle tramping off the line in the wet or on boost.
  5. Gotta love that VVT-i, check out the response before 100lkph! So good! Nice R154 too :D
  6. I'm sure you been told but 612 Autoworks can do it for you. I had mine done at a workshop in Bentleigh East; next door to where I was working at the time and they did an excellent job (Baytech Auto) Car looks good, just needs clear indicators for an 'updated' look imo
  7. Looks similar to my previous car :P Needs updated/clear side markers and front indicators and then it'll be really similar. How much did you pay if you don't me asking?
  8. I like! A few more weeks and it's good to go!
  9. looks good, reds so hard to keep from fading over the years
  10. Damn. That is, amazingness.

    awesome plates! Nice work on the car too :P
  12. Oh weird, didn't you do '46 last time?
  13. lol good effort What was it this time?
  14. Interesting photo; really emphasises how much cars have evolved. For example, look how much bigger the pillars, lights, mirrors and even door handles are on the newer Corolla, yet... not a huge difference in power or torque. Toyota needs to bring out more Sportivo hatches I'd say. Car looks good, very clean :)
  15. Bought a lancer with a rare kit apparently...
  16. yeh, you'll run out of brakes before you run out of power
  17. lol yeh Alister, we were similar size: he may be a tad bigger but didn't complain on the test drive. Smiles all 'round! Until he took it away.. :(
  18. Thanks Dave, I sold it complete with everything including the stock parts I had, just without the plates. I was happy with the price paid so couldn't complain- really was one of them 'First to see, will buy' moments
  19. Today the car sold to a guy in Adelaide. He flew down with his father and was impressed with the inspection and test drive. Big thanks to all who came to spectate/assist with the car at track days and so forth. Unfortunately this time, there will be no more cars for awhile.. :(
  20. BBS is best Cannot wait until cars' completed - gonna be good for '45's! Right?
