  1. Cograts on picking her? up thursday. I cant wait.......it will be 2 months by the time we get ours.

    Let us know what you think.

    Ours was a fleet price, thats probably why it was such a good deal, but we still had to do a lot of wealin and dealin from the different dealers to get the best possible price because the fleet people wanted the three best quotes. Eventually Terry Shields did the job.

    If you work for a large organisation or have an ABN you may be able get some sort of fleet discount.

    Wow.. I wish I had the same deal. I should have gone for the fleet company....

    Anyway, I am waiting for mine to come in Dec. Company are paying for it in a way, but I had to work hard for it. (So boss, get my drift????) haha.

    I think I am going for a White one, although currently the lockin one is Graphite. It is coming down to this 2 choices anyway. I also went for the Grande - suck in by those gadgets. Do you think Grande worth it?

    Do you know that Kluger looks like Vanguard in Japan (EDIT: I double check there is nothing in common :(), and you may be able to buy Japan parts for it.... :yahoo:

  2. There is a price to pay for all this power.

    Every start up = $1 Petrol

    Every drag race you do = $10 Petrol

    Every speed ticket you get = over $210

    Seeing a Turbo Territory Owner having a heart attack at the fuel pump = Priceless

    The official figure of fuel consumption of the NA Territory is 12L/100km but reporter tested at 17L/100km of mostly "urban" driving. I wonder what sort of MPG you get when you have a heavy right foot for a Turbo one.

    BTW if my bank does not decrease its amount upon withdrawl:idea:... I will go for one, it has ample boot space and rear seat space!

  3. Drove the new RAV4 V6 yesterday, goes like there is no tomorrow, I'd recommend paying the extra to go from the 4 cyl to the 6.

    Will definitely try it out on Saturday. There is one in Nunawading Toyota in Melbourne. But as a father of 2, I am more interested in the new Kluger.

  4. Guys quick question,

    Is the dyno set up only for front wheel cars?

    Any Rear wheel vehicles?

    If so i;ve got another 2 cars that are very interested! :)

    Any 2wd vehicle fwd or rwd

    I will get 0kW if I have the car with front in first...

    Perheps I will try to reverse back in to the dyno to get some kWs :rolleyes:

  5. I'll be in this too as long as it's not March 10-12th as I will be up at Winton. Yay for track days!

    See what the new MX5 puts out at the wheels. Will be interesting

    :blink: Thought our track day in 20th March.. I cannot mistaken that I am sure....

    I would not expect to dyno too greatly this time for some reason... my plug may not run as good as it were new...

  6. Since track days have now become a real hobby (more exciting than model planes) I want to be able to afford to track my car more often and the new mx5 fits that bill perfectly so I decided what the hell I'll do it!

    I have to confess that I am the soul that is responsible for this man's addition :huh::ph34r: ....

    I am guilty as charged. Hopefully Danielle not hating me for that :blink:

    I am not drag star (I think something is wrong with that statement on this thread :rolleyes:) Do you need a "less than semi-professional" photographer? I am in for that B) .

  7. Stu! I am here because I AM a TOYOTA owner TOO! I drive a Camry V6 normally and the 8 is my weekend car

    For some here it may interest you that Taka has been to 'destination X' and through the top part you cannot keep with him, he's crazy through those twists!  Yes Bill more than you!

    OK count me in for the Dyno day too!

    I am game enough to turn the DSC off... track time pays occasionally. :lol:

    Where does the ILIVfor6 come from???? :huh:

    Are you going to dyno Danielle's SP23 too?! :o

    I am really tempted to bring my 98' Camry V6 Auto in the dyno too LOL :lol: B) . It gives 141kW@5000rpm, but I never feel it LOL :D

    Welcome Takahashi (Another Initial d fan

    huh?), Glad to have you come along.

    Well I was, now they don't show Ryouske driving than it is no point watching :rolleyes:
