You can always ride along in my car mate :) .....plenty of room in the back seat :D :D

OOOOOoooooooooooooo......speculation speculation..... :o ....Sorry guys had to change my Avatar, someone was not impressed

Bertie Street

So what have you guys in South Africa done about it?

Yeah we should, to see off Peekays "Red Barron" before it changes ownership.

Guy Sebastian........im kidding, im kidding :D Trance :)

Good stuff guys, looks like a good workshop too.

So what are you gona get Bill??? a Honda or a Mazda??

Mate, the dealer where you get the car serviced wont give a rats ****, we need to talk to one of the head honchos.

Toyota knows something is wrong thats why it's still not on their website.........these issues they will try to ignore, but they cant if we DO something about it, the loner we leave it the worse it will be.

As a group we have to do something about this!!!!!! I still believe we should organise a meeting with Mr Toyota Australia......i think its the only way.

:D :D funny sh!t!!!!!

This is where it gets tricky.....get a new clutch and loose your warranty or keep the clutch and hope for the best.

Looks pretty shattered

WTF are you on??? :D :D

By changing the clutch anf flywheel the warranty is voided on the gearbox, or so i have been told by my dealer. I dont think the box will suffer long term if you drive it sensibly, if you keep crunching gears well then it's the drivers fault. I think Lift was only meant for limited use. I dont think the box/engine is meant to be driven at 8000rpm every gearchange Stewie, so by using the occcasional lift the stock box will be good, just clutch will be stuffed.

I raved on about this ages ago after i filled up one time with a bad batch of Optimax....the car ran crap couldnt change gears etc.....i came up with the conclusion that the gearbox is very sensitive in relation to engine..if the engine runs smooth so does the box, so the box itself might not be the only issue here.

Sounds like you guys had some great fun, wish i was there Stewie to do a "fly by" in lift again :P . Next time i will come too ill make sure to keep the day free.

I dont think its a fair comparision. The RX8 costs around 60 grand for starters, its not a corolla. The corolla was never meant and is never meant to be the top notch sports model, i mean im sure mazda doesent recommend these clubs etc for its sp23. Maybe had we spent 60K plus for a lexus we would also get the same service, however for a cheap sports corolla i am more than impressed with what I get from my dealer and from the car. I mean its all fair what you guys say, but for myself i can not complain and im sure there are a few others in the same league just do not wish to state their opinion as they might get blasted. It's always easier to winge than to give credit, when its due its due, I for one cant complain, all my issues are dealt with or have been dealt with. Some people are too damn fussy these days, they will never get satisfied. Zoom Zoom Zoom ;)

Lemon??? thats a bit far fetched isnt it???

Does everyone really have big problems? or only a few of us?? To be honest the only problem i have is a rattle on the power window/coin holder panel. I have had my front left strut replaced, my vibrating number plate fixed. The gearbox? i dont know if it's all toyota's fault, i have to admit at times it is mine, trying to shift at 8000rpm and landing in lift aint easy, i think we all have to agree. Im not saying we shouldnt complain, but are these problems that huge that you cant live with or drive the car, i mean what do you guys really expect from a $30,000 car??? mass produced in a fast paced environment??Perfection???Unless there are major, major issues i think we could be wasting our time because by reading between the lines Toyota doesent think there are Major problems with the vehicle, there are niggling ones yes, but thats were the dealers and their customer service come into it. I dont think there is any car out there that hasent got niggling bugs. Maybe at our next major meet we should all document our faults, take fotos were possible and walk together at the Toyota headquarters and forward our claims, instead of taking fotos and checking out eachothers rims. Is this is such a concern to members, action must be taken and fast and we must do it together and in person, letters etc are a long shot, its easier but takes longer, our warranties wont last forever and the more K's you clock on the better it is for Toyota. Too much talk nothing done....it isnt that hard....i dont have major issues with the car but i am willing to support fellow members. It has to be soon, before Xmas. My suggestion is in a couple of weeks, all problematic melbournians turn up.....all interstate members back everything up by letters....Give full name, car engine VIN.adress and complain on an A4 sheet.PM me your details in Word format, i will print them out and forward them to Toyota Headquarters.........if we have 100+ members it will make their ears buzz and something might be done.

Lets all wait after dyno day guys. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything, just make up your mind for yourself and it is sometimes best to keep it that way, otherwise people take offence (like in the past).

That looks soo mean its awesome....i like, i like :) :)

thats the funiest thing ive seen for a while..simply because it comes from you Bruce.

Ohh you better come to the next meet Biatch :D :D youre still one of us :) and i wanna check out the new toy havent seen one properly up close. What the hell is Peekay doing there????
