Aaaaa....I haven't got car back then hahaha...

Hope you guys enjoy the event...

I really wish that I can be there...=)

Don't forget to get lots picture and post it here =)

Can't go this time...

Wondering when will it be held in NSW =)

Hi neK

My personal opinion, if it is a really brand new car. I want everything to be perfect.

So even a small scratch would be a big matter for me.

Also as far as I concerned. A small bubble in the tinting means that it is not properly tinted, and I think it will get bigger if you let it be like that.

So I guess your action to hold up the money and don't want to fix it is a good decision.

Hi Greg,

If you are really looking for economy in city driving, Aurion will take probably around 475kms

But when the lights goes off. I usually will fill about 55 L =)

But so far I'm happy with my Aurion. It is a very convinient especially for long trip =)

I'm seriously tossing up between the Aurion and a Mazda 6.

It's main purpose will be solely for city driving (lots of stop start) rarely any open road stuff so can people tell me what they are getting on a full tank of fuel?

Lets say from full on the gauge to the fuel light coming on after nothing but city driving would you get say 500 kms out of that?

I know all about the economy liters/100 kms thing but this is to explain to my wife in simple terms and she's not interested in what she calls "mumbo jumbo" hehe.

"Just tell me how far it goes from full on the gauge to when the fuel light comes on" she says.

So yeah if I could get some figures like that from city only would be good.

Thanks all :)

Greg.

PS This site say 14 - 16/100 around town...that aint good :/

I don't think there are any different between SX6 and ZR6 in terms of spare parts and machine. In my opinion the different probably are only in interiors =)

However I never have a thought of the different between Sportivo and the normal one. My friend told me that My Sportivo looks lower than the other, probably the suspension do differ. I'll try to find out and will try to post if I found something different.

I did my service last Friday...and asked them what oil they use..and they said that they are using Castrol

I really wondering which dealer is that.

Yeah...I'm really looking for it at the moment.

I'll tell you once I got some information regarding where to get it =)

All,

I was thinking to put this on my ZR6, what do you think?

If any of you know where I could get this type of wheel?

Wondering what tyre I should use? and what is the offset as well.

Hi Danos,

I think if you get the picture and tell one of the tyre shop such as stgeorge tyre or tempe tyre, they will be able to order one for you

As far as I concerned the option of the wheel in their net is very limited, but you can come to the shop and shop around, but if you email them first I think they will tell you whether they have it or not, and they probably can order it for you if you are interested.

I found something similar to the rim that, looks like a bit similar with K-Speed.

Well, I didn't take off the bumper...Why should I? Since the place that I put my ballast is far from the bumper site anyway..

Well, Just find a place that you think the ballast won't be affected by heat from anywhere, it should be fine.

Ic Ic...I'd probably go to the wheel store and have it fit and see how it goes before I purchase it (hope they allow it) Otherwise I'll stay on my 17 until it brokes...=D

dannywss: Illegal? to use 20" ? or to lower the car? So, you just keeping your 20" wheel on the garage?

Hi All,

Probably a stupid question.

Do I need to lower my ZR6 if I change the wheel to 20" ?

As I found it is quite low already now originally from dealer (using 17")

I want to change to 20" but I don't want it to affect my driving, I'm afraid if the wheel scratch the wheel guard and I don't want it.

Anyone know what is the offset for it?

Thanks before

If the wheel is bigger, why would you need to lower the spring? the wheel being bigger means, yes, that the car sits higher but also means the top of the wheel will be closer to the wheel arch. Lowering it will just make it worse. I don't really get your logic.

That's what I think as well, because one of my friend said that, once you change it to 20" it makes your car higher (which doesn't make sense to me) and you need to lower the car (which I don't want)

If you put on 20's with a lower profile tyre won't the overall 'wheel' size remain the same. No need to lower anything ???

Maybe I just misunderstood the question

Danos: Lower profile tyre? Is it mean thinner? Yes, that's what I think I'd do. So you are saying that, if the total size wheel and tyre remain the same, there is no need to lower the spring?

1 more question 20" x 8.5 <-- what is the 8.5? Is it the Offset?

After reading others' reply, I just realize that it doesn't work the same with my bluetooth devices.

Is it really worked like that?

I think you can set up using your bluetooth and it will connect to your phone.

Well, I'm not using Presara, but I have bluetooth for the phone mounted in my car.

And as far as I concerned, if I don't connect to the bluetooth then you are not using it.

Is there any possibility that it is a really2 wrong number, so she probably press the wrong number =)

Is this the first time this happens? or it happens couple times already?

Have you try to call to your own mobile?

Nice work on your car and it is really a good deal hahaha =)

I have the same nois in my car, the service manual says this is normal as the Abs system is doing a check.

Yeah the ABS test happens just after taking off but only for the first time. It tests the system once and you hear a clunk or dull tap from all four points.

Not sure if this is the noise though. Does it happen everytime you stop and then start or just the first time once you've just started the car ?

I think that's probably the sound. It always happen the first time once i've started the car. =)

Thanks all for the reply, I thought it was my only problem, but it seems that's the way it was designed =D

Hi VF-X

I attached the photo where I put the ballast

I don't take off the bumper to get the head lamp changed into HID

I haven't changed the parker lights though !!

Hope the attachment helps you

Hi,

I've tried the brake, I don't think it's the break.

The first time I ran like about 100 m after parking, then the sound will appear.

Anyone has happened this before?

Congratulation !!! Welcome to the club !! =D You'll definitely love the car =D

Perhaps the brakes disengaging - if you hold the breaks slightly on and allow the car to roll the breaks make a similar sound . . . ?

That's what I thought as well...I will try it =)

Yeah

When the little one wakes up in the car seat, she makes that noise too.

Not good, don't know how to fix it yet.

??? =)

So you did have the same problem as well?

I've heard couple times that there is a sound...sounds like "Graakk" when I first start to move the car after a long stop, for example parking..

Any of you happen this before?

OMG...I thought it's the wheel alignment and after reading all this thread it seems that this is factory fault...

Anyone know where to fix in Sydney? Will it break the warranty?
