  1. Brake fluid should really be changed annually, more often in more humid environments. Also if your fluid is down, you either have a leak or the more likely answer is that you are getting closer to needing a pad change. As the pads wear the pistons in the caliper travel further out and the fluid drops in the reservoir.
  2. Most dealers will have them in stock. New clutch/pressure plate bolts are also good practice too.
  3. Wheels look good in those night pics.
  4. Not sure if I'm sold on the wheels and side skirts, otherwise, hell of a job.
  5. Front or rear vibration? What size wheels/tyres?
  6. Any plans for future mods or keeping it relatively stock?
  7. If the white smoke is oil- The car over full with oil The stem seals on the valves are worn. The piston rings are worn The pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) valve is blocked Oil will produce "blue" smoke not white. Most likely if it is only for a few minutes, as Kenshin stated, it is more than likely condensation. If it persists for a greater period of time then there is a possibility there are larger issues at hand, but lets not jump the gun.
  8. There is nothing worthwhile/financially viable to cater for your want/needs. Any power gains you get from the mods you have listed will not be actually noticeable, simply placebo.
  9. What are you talking about? Just because some variants have sanav and/or a moonroof, doesn't mean they built his/her car wrong. if you didn't pay attention to the above posts, satnav and moonroofs are both factory options. Mine was built the year before, where i demanded a moonroof which incurred $1800, with a satnav it is $5000 which I wasn't willing to pay. All in all, your zr6 which falls into the pre-facelift range isn't any different to the facelifted zr6 in terms of options.
  10. They 100% built your car wrong, You need to go back to Toyota and demand that they fix this issue...
  11. Top of the line in utility sports, unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Canyonero! Canyonero!
  12. Cold(not yet started), or once the majority of oil has has returned to the sump for the most accurate readings. Engine oil does not really expand or contract due to heat as much as automatic transmission fluid, so realistically as long as the oil is back in the sump the you will get a more accurate reading.
  13. Surely there are better cars to steal :P
  14. Stir in a little bit of low and that would set off the wheels even better.
  15. http://www.nulon.com..._Transaxle_Oil/ is what I use. This should be available at pretty much every automotive store, such as Autobarn, Repco and Supercheap. Seems really odd they didn't have it. Worst case an 80W-90 will also work just fine in most applications provided it is a manual transmission oil.
  16. Damn Clean. Nice driving too.
  17. Two completely different stylings, don't think it would really look that good.
  18. Wow, and to think someone could have gotten them for a steal...
  19. Story time...WOOT! Good to hear all the issues were fixed up mate.
  20. As did I... Anyway, enough crap, thread resume.
  21. Good luck cleaning a BBS style wheel(mine are bad enough), IMO -1 for the Vizage. However, on a positive note same height and the gold wheels in black, would look quite respectable.
