  1. Man you guys serious??  420kms with 98Octane!?  My Stivo with 35,000kms now can easily pull 550-600kms and if i drive sedately i can get 650kms or more, but i usually top up with a minimum of 1/4 tank..  and 140kms with 91Octane now that's really hard to believe, isn't the 1zzfe tuned to run on 91Octane?  My mom's 98' model 2.2 Camry runs 91Octane and get 600kms easy.  I reckon you guys need some proper servicing to rectify the issue..  :huh:

    Yep, but im sure a primary reason for my shocking fuel consumption is the fact that i live in a very congested area in Sydney (upper north shore), and to drive even 4 k's can take 30 mins. The stop start traffic def hurts my petrol consumption and i know that when i went on a cruze like 4 weeks ago and did about 150 k's (using 1/4 of a tank)

  2. Had an accident with a BRAND NEW AUDI A6 yesterday :(, which is going to cost me at least $1600 to fix his car.

    My rear bumper was also severely damaged and has left holes and marks covering the whole bumper.

    Is there a cheap way to fill the holes / or try to cover up the damage with some sort of fibre glass repair kit?

    (Ps I don’t want to use insurance as it will simply put premiums up)

  3. Where are they best places (cheapest but also offer quality) to get a muffler installed?

    Best Mufflers, Australia's best etc are all $350 installed when you speak to them on the phone, but I have friends who have negotiated and got it down to like 280- 300.

    Does anyone know a cheaper place - that will do a quality job?

    More importantly, does having an x-force muffler installed, void the Toyota warranty? Even if it is installed by a professional company

  4. A while ago I purchased new front, back speakers and head unit for my car. The deck and front speakers are installed with no problems, and look and sound great, how ever the back, 6x9 speakers, which I placed on the narrow bit of the back shelf (that lifts up when boot is opened). I reinforced the shelf underneath with wood about 1 inch thick. The problem is that even with the shelf being reinforced, it rattles and shakes when I drive, causing distortion to the back speakers.

    Does anybody have suggestions as to how to and where to place the 6x9 back speakers, so they are stable?

    Front speakers: 6.5 inch Coaxial Phoenix Gold

    Back speakers: 6 x 9 Phoenix Gold

    Deck: Pioneer DEH - 7750
