errrr Queensland is a bit far. Same reason I am not going to my Mazda RX-8 Nationals this year at Lakeside. For my case, towing an 8 will do 15L/100km, for 3400km, at Premium petrol which will be $1.80 in Oct... that is close to $1000. I am a club president as you may know. National become less attractive for western states and must be held in NSW to attract the Eastern state people.

Just the fact that you can only get highway tyres not all terrain tyres in 19". All terrain is way better tyres in bushland or even slightly muddy stuff. Tell you what I cannot get over a 20 degree slightly muddy slope... (I did not drop the pressure or turn off the traction control though)

So good you are allowed to do that! There is only one CD requested by the 2 middle row passengers atm :P Women are demanding and I have 3 in my life

A cheap spare V6 will be good for a TRD project... . I feel sad what happen because it happened to a decent car. It is just a waste of a new car. I am so glad that Mrs Mikey and son come back with nothing but a scare! I hope Mrs Mikey have all the faith in driving another Kluger... looking at how much protection we receive inside the car.

I think you may be wrong, check both photos carefully the new super duper Philip's Halogens do what HID's do as-well, check out the top panels of the garage door and above the house with the stockies you will see what I mean. You may be right, but I was kindly suggesting that my erratic driving prob the main causes of people's flashes And I think extra spot lights aiming at the ground is quite useful. I still remember the days that I have a 100W spot lights in my Civic ... and that was so illegally bright!

I think the old car can be used as part upgrade for some certain KX-R driver... ;). nudge nudge.

Sorry may I ask if any of the airbag went off during the roll?

Far out... glad you are in one piece Mike! What sort of vehicle hit you? It look like the impact is very high? So a new Kluger?

I found one thing that I don't like about the Kluger and it is very stupid. When I have my moonroof on. They will warn you only after the door is open. And you have to put on ignition mode to get it close. Since my light is on the auto mode. The light will turn on in the garage and will not turn off until you close the door. Switch the car off. And open it again. What a hassle!

Did you tell them that the compass is listed in the brochure?

People can stop complaining about the fuel consumption. Once and for all the winner of biggest fuel eater is a Ford http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...=52569&vf=7

Nice post Dwayne... I guess we just have to wait and see. Me no IT expert especially and would not have a clue what is involved. Hopefully is not hardware related as I think it would be a harder cure

Well that is that I was quoted long time ago (in an old camry, when it is also understated) It will cost them at least couple of hours labour to take the dash out, adjust the speedo and test it with very accurate equipment (which I don't think any dealer will have or do I know what it is ..., something like this I suppose http://autospeed.com/cms/A_108262/article.html). Calibrate takes time and expensive equipments. I suspect you have to go to an un Toyota place to do it, like above. As it is a highly legal instrument, the speedo... it will cost a fortune. Same goes a lawyer or a medical equipments. Prices are inflated for no real reason. That is why you may get a laugh from dealer if you ask dealer mechanics to adjust it. They will highly unlikely to cover your ***** when you get book for speeding.

Well done and you do need to change your screen name. I read the thread twice and did not see what colour you get ;)... EDIT: oh pardon me... Green ewwww.

Pimp. Very unfortunate on the silver car... looks like there is no chassis damage though. Only cosmatic

They will not recalibrate for you because it is an over $1000 job. Good luck though.

I found my odometer is very accurate... Thank ***. The trip meter is impressive down to the 0.1km, at least on mine, - I checked that on the offroad trip late last year. Paul, for you information, the roadside advisory radars are very out of sync with calibration... they don't get regular testing (coz they are not legally required to do so you see). One time, in particular, when a set of us (a few cars in a cruise) travelled at the same speed, one after the other, with cruise control.... during lunch time the last person said the display show variations up to a few kilometers per hour. However, your obseration is still granted.... 79kmh in real term could be 71kmh.

I am in a rage today and put some V Power Shell in. Cane it around the city/southbank (looking for car spot) and the car is sitting at 16.7L/100km after about 30km!

ehhhh ... that will not because of the bright lights.

How can this be possible in a mechanical constant 4WD system?

19" does not look GOOD, they look FANTASTIC... you know you want it Scott (evil smile)

Back to the topic. I have done some internet research on this. The stock tyres of Porsche is Michellin :) and the latitude has a nice pattern (nearly the same as my Pilot Sport 2) http://www.jaxquickfit.com.au/other-tyre-n...in-latitude.htm They do not come with a 245 but 255/50 is nice and have a higher load rating too (Michellin 255/50 is rated 107 where out stock tyre is 103??) Here is the size difference in a table summary Note the size difference can fix the underestimated speedo of the Kluger II too!

Don't believe it. My Michellin Pilot Sport (on my sports car) is the most expensive there is on the market and similar to TT size (235/40-18). And it is only $600 each. They are high end grippy sports tyre. You sure he did not get ripped off?

Your 16" cannot fit the Grande? or not?

255 I think is more widely available and hence more competitive in pricing? I maybe wrong. It ain't a race car and I don't think a 10mm difference will make any changes in normal slow driving we have in suburban streets.
