  1. Some a*hole cyclist broke my side mirror today,

    so I'm looking for black mica 2005 ascent hatch side mirrors.

    If anyone can help me out, that would be great.

    I've only got a driver side but its broken at the joint to the door. Furthermore, mine is from a black corolla sportivo so its colour coded.

    Not sure if it'll fit. Will take some pictures for you if u want.

  2. Concerns jailbroken iphone users Apple's remote shutdown program

    Apple's becoming the next Microsoft in the early nineties when they had a huge popularity boost and became cocky.

    I have no doubt that they'll be slapped with an anti-trust law suit pretty soon ................ perhaps .......

    Anywho, not using any apple devices nor do I see myself do in the very near future ..... Andriod FTW !!!!

  3. To add mine, cyclist as well as sharp shooters uses yellow lenses for "sunglasses"

    Same as urine. So drunks can see their pee against the white porcelain.

  4. G'day WRCFella,

    The gearbox for sale HERE is probaly one of the cheapest you'll find. If you were to get a mechanic to fit it, I'd be allowing approx $1k for his work, and allow for a new clutch in the mix there too.

    I would be thinking that with frieght, parts, oil and other incidentals this job would realistically end up somewhere between $3-4k. If you are handy, or have mates who can spin the spanners for you, you could come out of it cheaper. And you may also be able to offload the 5spd too

    You probably don't want to hear this, but I'm going to say it anyway -

    the cheapest way for you to get the 6spd box would be to sell your Ascent and buy a Sportivo, and enjoy all of the goodies that come with it (2ZZ motor, climate control, leather etc.) Any good bolt-on stuff you have on your Ascent should be transferrable too.

    Based on that - look at what your Ascent is worth, have a look at what sportivos are going for online and maybe consider making the switch. If the difference in their values is only about that 4k mark.......seriously give some thought to joining the 8200rpm club

    cheers man, done my figures, buying the stivo will be cheaper.

    thanks alot.

    If that's the case then please go to the following ....

  5. I'll also point out that the F1 drivers at the Singapore GP use yellow visors on their helmets.

    Same thing with skiiers, it's to filter the glare, but has nothing to do with fog penetration/dispersion/scattering.

  6. 1) is it bad to have other keys hanging with the car key while its in the igition?

    if there is a weight limit, how much can u put on. google researching says no more than 400g before it does any damage.

    I personally haven't heard of damage occurring by having all your keys etc hanging off your car key, but no doubt there will be someone out there who has reported such. I used to have a bunch of keys for numerous things hanging off my car key (about 15 different keys in total) and the ignition tumbler never changed in it's feel.

    I'm sure there would be a weight limit as after all it is extra stress, but for your average bunch of keys and keyrings, you should be fine. Get something that weight 400g and you will notice that you would have to have a fair few keys etc to reach that weight.

    2) in regard to ABS light in the dash, does the light come on when its working or does it only light up and turn off when u start the engine so to make sure its functioning properly...

    Most car's I have come across, the ABS light is only there as a system self-check light and a malfunction indicator. It should only light under the following conditions:

    1) When you start the car. It should turn on for a few seconds or so then turn off. This indicates everything is okay.

    2) When there is a problem with the system. The light should illuminate and stay on to tell you that something is wrong and you should have it checked out.

    thanks for the reply. reason why i asked question 1 is that since i have put in ES engine mounts, there was a certain vibration at 3 to 4k rpm. found out that it was the key in the igition and solved the problem by just having a bit of extra weight with the car keys.

    now for the other 2 or 3 vibrations coming else in the car lol.... <_<

    Solid engine mounts create more noise, vibration, harshness (NVH).

    Hence why I don't have them; I put solid bushes in my previous car and it got really loud.

    SOFT ..... *meow*
