  1. woohoo~ turbo powerrrrr for the engine cover i would think red should look alright
  2. i spose any thrashing around is bad in the long run...
  3. 185bhp at the wheels i think...which is roughly 130+kw at the wheels
  4. i'm in i'm in! cmon...i just washed my car too. 12noon it is @ the motor museum @ whiteman park.
  5. hm, weather should be fine for saturday time to give it a good wash...
  6. yeh i am in dress circle :D saturday sounds good to me, not working that night too. suspension won't be in by the time though... ;) 4wd tracking it is then.
  7. 24th june? sounds ok...exams are over. i'm in dianella area. hopefully by then i'll have my suspension done... :D
  8. mine's stock as well, cept for the headlight bulbs. no probs thus far, car's nearly 3 yrs old.
  9. performance + sit 5 properly + high rev engine + fuel economy :D like the fact it's a bit of a sleeper too...
  10. i'm using Maxxis, recommended by the manager at one of the Bob Jane branch i got my rims from. i think i paid $160ish each, so far it's performed very well. in the dry, grip is better than the stock stivo rubber. in the wet...well in the rather limited sessions of rainy weather in perth thus far, it's pretty damn good as well, again performing better than the stock bridgestone. for $20-30 more per tyre, you can upgrade to the more aggressive/sporty tyre treads. was thinking about getting those, but if the ones i use are good enough for a modded commodore SS (the manager's ride), it's good enough for me...for now :D NVH, i noticed it's slightly quieter than the stockies. done about 8000km on it, the tyres are still in excellent condition. the side walls even after some spirited cornering to test the grip and are still in smick condition. so yeah, that's my 2cents feedback...
  11. hey they've been on sale in perth for quite a while now, at least the past 6 months. the sedans are going for $35000+ and the coupe...i know there's a 2 door coupe for sale for $47000, in blue and 15000km only. they're all jap imports not brand new
  12. i've found a place with the following set of 17x7 with toyo or kuhmo tyres for $1000 with trade in of the stivo rims. quite tempted, but i'm trying to look for other places to compare prices and other set of rims as well (cos not sure if these rims will look alright on a white car)
  13. hey all, do you know whereabouts i can go to find good deals on rims and tyres in perth? my tyres are just about gone and time for a slight upgrade :D cheers.
  14. haha...i'm overseas at the moment so dun think i'll make it
  15. i'm getting mid 8s per 100km...that's with constant start/stop and city/residential driving...i've delivery pizzas with my stivo
