thanks mate, appreciate.

Just wondering if anyone can put me on to a couple of places that does guard rolling/lipping? I'm in south east melbourne. Cheers. Please email me at edwardson.tongue@defence.gov.au

what offers the best flow for 1zz?

where abouts would you find these wheels Danz? BangN : what are they actually called and who distributes those wheels? Group buy anyone? :D

enjoying that car............. its another world out there for VIPs i wish more were into it. I'd like to do more to mine but $$$ are goin elsewhere for the time being. Where'd u get those wheels bangn if you don't mind me asking? Maybe i might upgrade sooner than expected.....

this is an interesting topic.... if your running a 600rms amp why aren't you using a 2 gauge or even 0 gauge? you'd have a better flow. I'm running a 0 gauge to a distributor which sits 15cm from my amp and i've got 1 8 gauge going into my rockford lenght of that is only 30cm. I also have a spare set up for a second amp which i use in db drags, good ol 1501bd. But seriously your really restricting breathing of those amps even though there's ample room for air, there's no fresh air circulating the amp. Its nice though really good effort making it clean. I really didn't have a choice in mine, i couldn't bare go back to a single sub. So i have to deal with a dual and amp mounted on the back of box. If you have the factory battery, that's just ridiculous, your lights will dim, definately would need a capacitor with the system your running. That and a decent battery.

it shouldn't!!! unless lens are dirty and unable to read, or disk is damaged

although, nothing like changing coolant every year?? 2 years is a lot of time havin crud run through. long life or short life, i'd be doing mine yearly regardless of coolant. Ofcourse use reccomended coolant. Tap Water. Can anyone answer this: How do you flush your radiator and engine of coolant just using bottled distilled water??? Draining ur radiator won't keep it clean. There's still the water that flows through the engine. I mean you probably could use bottled water but that would take alot of water...... Does toyota service use distilled or tap?

Many times before i've had this thought. But yes it all depends what you can afford at the time. On my old ride i got my wheels first, then got my bodykit fitted (next day) 3 days later i got my suspension customised to legal height 10cm lowest point of car. This little adventure in 1 hit is very expensive. But to help i would buy the kit first and hang on to it til you have money for wheels and suspension. But if looks aren't your thing, then i'd be getting wheels that are lightweight. Cheap chromies from tempe or bsa are very heavy. dats my 2 cents..

i'm so glad someone's ask the question i've been thinking about for ages.....

~~~~droolss~~ hmmmmmmmmmm 3sgte awd damn why don't aust opt to that model....

echo looks good......... wat if you could put a stivo engine in a echo............

i had the exact problem on my old ride. custom suspension no give at all... rollin on pirelli's pzeros.. wet i could almost drift!!!!!!!! very bad handling in wet. so i just didn't drive hard. but now on my rolla with the F1's its excellent.!!! and not so stiff suspension.

what model rex? flogging and trashing a car doesn't mean you dump clutches and slam gears.... you can be a spirited driver and yet retain a good shifting skill.

The box will only break if driven improperly. Having had a turbo car and knowingly not to dump clutches and slamming gears you know how to drive. It will last as long as you drive it properly. Subie's don't have the strongest gearboxes and if driven hard it will break. Mate has a my98 replaced 2 dog boxes already because he does dump and slam. (never learns) Toyota has decent gearboxes and stivo's being the car that they are (sports) toyota would of made sure they have a strong box. And yes you'll mention your turboing a stivo.... well like i stated its how its driven. It just won't break because u turbo the car... Ask anyone who owns a turbo car they all know. If its any consolation its not hard to beat a stock rex. e.g. MR98 lancer 1.8lt with a subie turbo and intercooler no internal mods just heavy duty clutch. Smashes stock rex's. With stock gearbox.

worth it. 1. New and a weapon 2. Everyone knows what to look for when turboing a car. Or else why do it if noone knew? 3. Running and maintaining costs comes down to driver and how the car is driven, same as if you had a subie/xr6T/skyline/s13/s14 etc etc. 4. Insurance again same as if you had any turbo car, if anything more for a Subie due to high rate of getting jacked. 5. Parts would be cheaper. e.g. if you had a standard subie turbo you would wanna change everything from boost controller to turbo to front mount etc etc. Turboing a stivo - well it wasn't turbo before and its turbo now so ur buying the gear once. Subie $40k or so + mods $10k, Stivo $30k + mods $10k, plus the stivo would whoop *****!!!! you do the figures...... stock subie would get blitzd by a turbo stivo. also more can go wrong with a subie than a stivo. :) ask any toyota owners.

This might be a little bit late now, but i was in the same situation 12months ago. I wanted to invest on a house but wasn't confident about a massive debt at this age. I decided to sell my current car and i bought my rolla which i have today. Ive had my rolla for about 12months now and half way paying it off. I'm going to stick it out paying off my rolla then buy a house. Eddy, I'd be buying a house as soon as you can man, if you have the opportunity go for it. Market is always rising in house prices. If you plan to buy live in it for a year. If your finding it hard in that year then move back with olds and rent it for a while. But for you to be able to rent it you have to live in it for a year. The reason for that is the banks. If your renting and not living its a investment loan (high interest). To be able to get a homeloan and rent at the sametime you have to live in it for a year. Good luck with the decission. 5yrs ago i said i should of bought. 5 yrs from now i'll be saying i should of bought. There's never a better time than today :D. Ofcourse you have to be able to afford it.

22 on to 23 end of yr surprised about the age of some people here...

nothing else needed for the 1zz i just bought a hose joiner :) worked just fine!! 5/16 size. brass!! don't use plastic....

obz, have u got cai ? if so what is it? tried checking installation of that? check sparkplugs, check leads, worse comes to worse take it back to toyota and just tell them u want it fixed. is it still under warranty?

do keep in mind when stiffning suspension and handling its putting more of the force in your tyres. so expect more wear on tyres when driving it hard. It might not seem much going around the corner at 60 and its comfortable but your tyres are getting a hammering. :)

sorry to hear.......... judging by the picture i'm not sure how much internal damage its caused but this has happened to a few friends of mine.. mostly subie's and its not a cheap job... cost at around $1000 depending if any damage has been done to axle etc etc... i wouldn't be driving around too much with it on. take a few pics with and without the wheel and borrow a car and ask a few places. just to keep things on the positive... was it fun? how did u do that?

you boyz are a bad influence..... danz does ur tyre scrape at all against the lip sitting that low? or have you lipped the guards? mine scrapes when i hit bad spots on the road, i mean real bad... (holes,inperfections)

:P :P :P :P :P how much?????????????

That's stockvvti's friend over in Sydney. Garson rims beibeh. ← hmmm dat would look good on a black rolla..... dish..... vip....
