Leave the bonnet black but get the roof sprayed black as well. :D

Im just curious as to how he lines the rear doors back up to shut them when he's finishing spinning them?

Might be a stupid question, but whats the benfit in doing this?

When i do a carby clean i wipe the throttle flap and spray the crap out of the inside of the throttle body with carby clean and then start the car and rev it, just wanted to know what this was for/does?

Stop thrashing your car brother, its only a 1ZZ :P

Cause that 5 might have 10 times your bank account.lol

I kinda like the stripes along the bonnet, dont like the headlight ones though.

Thanks for all your replies guys, i dont feel sick thinking that it was in a big hit at one stage or anything.

Although it does make toyota look like poor bas*ards, unless black cars cost that little bit extra, i wouldn't know as i bought it second hand.

Thanks again

The highlighted bits in the pic are the parts that are colour coded on my car and my mums yet only black plastic (unsprayed) on the facelifts i saw at the meet and my mates silver corolla.

It could be multiple reasons as to why the celica feels heavier.

Look at the difference between the two cars

-Rim size and tyre width/profile/height/quality and also tyre pressure plays a factor.

-Also when was the last time the power steering fluid got a flush?

-Weight difference between the two cars?

Theres tons of reasons why!

Hi guys, on last night's meet one of the guys brought to my attention that the window surround on my car (pre-facelift 04 corolla sportivo) should be normal plastic not actually painted.

=if you dont understand, im trying to describe the actual part of the car door that the windows slide up into, the metal frame around the window and also the centre pillar section.

Now on mine its painted to colour match the car (black car) but on the facelifts i saw last night theirs was still black plastic regardless of the colour of car. So i went home and looked at mums, (late 2007 zze122 corolla ascent sedan BASE model no extras) and her's is painted as well and the car is also black and we have owned the car from brand new, yet my mates 2004 corolla ascent sedan (once again BASE no extras) which is silver has the normal plastic, which is not painted to match the car.

I was curious if this was done on black model cars only and also what you guys have.

Thanks all

thanks all

Spotted near my street multiple times this week clarendon rd peakhurst . Black prefacelift sportivo, dropped on 18s i think, with eyelids and grill, no plate WES-xxx something

Hopefully your part of this forum cause your car looks sweet

Had similar problems before.

Make sure you

1. check that there is a decent ground (12v test lamp),

2.that the remote wire is working(12volt test lamp).

If and when the amp cuts out quickly jump out of your car and see if the amps really hot, it might be overheating.

If all else fails it could possibly be the rca leads as ive had this problem before, the amp would work for ages and then for no apparent reason cut out, to give it a test just plug in an ipod for example with rca-headphone jack straight into the amp and see if it cuts out while your driving.

Yeah mine has like a 1-2 second delay for the water pump to start squirting, and when it does it just drizzles down. I think its normal, no need to worry

ok fellas, quick update again. cars has sorta started to crunch again, and i dont know if its me getting nervous, cause if i shift bymyself it never happens but if someones in the car it does.lol.

But then its only like 1 out of 10 times. Im also thinking that my clutch is starting to go on its way out as i can feel it ride when its gets warm and i also think i need a clutch pedal adjustment again which could be the problem.

Will let you know soon.

If fitted to a corolla does it need the cone bonnet or has the factory one got enough space?

Now thats why i hate carparks. :P

Imagine coming back to your pride & joy and finding this had happen...and it looks like the SLY DOG didn't stick around to sort it out.

and the fact that they own an x5 means they have enough money to sort it out too!!

^ You know; you are going to be old one day.

And hopefully by then there will be automated hover cars :D

lol my granddad is 89yrs old and STILL has his licence... i just thank god that he lives in NZ and not here...

he can barely walk... literally.... he takes 10 steps and has to sit down... haha

My grandads 79 and he definently should not be driving.

OLD PEOPLE DRIVING. GET OFF THE DAM* ROAD!!!!

Eg. the latest news report where the 60 yr old lady drove through the brick wall......come on. Government should give free taxi/bus passes to all seniors.

Driving home the other day on king georges rd, some old guy who looked about 90 with these massive headphones on (not for doof doof lol, obviously some sort of hearing aid device) was driving and as the road would curve he would cut across lanes as if the 3 lanes was a single massive one.

plus the fact that he didnt know what blinkers were (probly weren't invented when he got his license) and i dont think he had enough strength in his leg to hit the brake cause everytime he stopped he almost hit the person in front.

I bet you the cops will never see this guy though. How can someone at that age keep passing the rta required testing thing that they have for seniors each year?

How did you get it like that anyway? whats the process?

I'm going to revive this thread because this school holidays have really brought some crazy drivers back onto the road and I'm sure others would like to vent.

Another one to add to the list are those that merge onto a road (ie. pulling out of a street or driveway) while you are approaching and fail to accelerate to match the speed of the flowing traffic. This results in you having to brake heavily or change lanes to avoid them. Some people just have no sense.

-or those that are in such a rush to cut out in front of you from a side street only to drive slow once they're ahead of you..

-Idiots who are lost and using their gps but are driving at like 5kph and dont know what they're doing (PULL OVER AND LET TRAFFIC PAST)

-Im not a p plater but a few of my mates are, one of them crashed his car as this old woman decided to turn right at the last moment without using indicators as he was turning right, so he swerved and ended up in someones front lawn...cops cames, the lady said that it was her own fault and she most likely caused the accident AND YET MY MATE STILL COPS THE BLAME AND THE POINTS, the cops still saying it was his fault even AFTER the lady admitted she caused it.

-People forgetting to put there lights on at night!!!!

-People who dont give a wave or a thankyou after you let them in.

Of course road rage is on the rise, i myself give up and just skitz it at everyone now. telling people to get f'ed if they dont give a thanks and honk the horn until they realise. ( best bit is to drive up next to them abusing them, they freak out and keep their head forward.lolmight learn for next time )

TCL 42inch FULL HD $850 :D From bing lee.......i was actually thinking of getting one of these.lol

By the way whats the prices of these units that your looking at?

If there all roughly the same, see what you really need. Are you ever going to us the wii or need the extra tv? do you already have a blu-ray player?

Is the owf radiator cover basically the same as the cooling panel? Any photos of it installed?

Where abouts in sydney you located?

Thanks

It's quite normal. It's because the mirror is mounted on the roof. You should see how much mine shakes riding on D2s and with a sub

you should see mine with 2xsubs, i dont even know why i still have it there,lol
