Rollaclub Social (Off-Topic)

I found this page whilst searching for carby related stuff. Its a background history on a few models of toyota's (especially corolla's). I found it to be a good read. http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/unique_cars_index_t.htm

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=804457 Stumbled across this link and found it interesting. Its good to see someone inventing a product that actually serves a purpose. Kinda reminds me of iRobot though.

So enough of my fellow Americans have failed so bad in life that operating an automobile is out of their range of skills.

So the in-laws in Japan have bought a new car. The father in law is a Toyota man. Back in the 70's he had a Mitsubishi Colt (saw pics, real old skool JDM beast) Water pump went and blew the engine. So from then on, a Toyota only man. He had a Toyota Ipsom for about 10 years. The Shaken (yearly RWC checks that get more expensive with age) was getting too expensive. It was cheaper to buy a new car. So he bought a Ractis. http://toyota.jp/ractis/ Basically a Yaris with a mini van body. But because he is a petrol head he bought the big block 1.5!, not the 1.3! So on my next visit, I know what I'll be driving!

CLICK You do have to concede that the Dodge driver is lacking slightly. An LSD would have helped him too i suppose.

is this for real or what.. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2429973 its a hilux and a hiace all in one...

Remember when the Corolla Sportivo came out?? The slogan was: "Corolla by name, not by nature." Any thoughts on exactly WHY Toyota chose this slogan?? (Corolla History Buffs will get it straight away) f@$k I laughed when I saw the first advertisment using this slogan... Marketing Genuis Thoughts??

Apparently don't do shit! http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/22748911/detail.html Should I be surprised a pissweak metal spacer which did nothing to address the root of the problem hasn't solved the problem? Cue re-recall.

ebay... Weird Asian toy manufactureres are at it again. Who wants one of these?? :harhar:

C'mon slackers, join me!!

Hi all, What's the "official" name for the older Toyota Japan logo? As in the banner of this site (and elsewhere?) Any help appreciated. (looking for a larger copy to photoshop.) Cheers

I had an incident the other day while towing a trailer. I was over taking a slower car and a guy was pulling out of super cheap over two lanes into the lane I was merging into. There was no merging lane for him to wait in. As I merged and he tried to, the trailer and his car contacted. Not much damage just some black marks from the trailer tyres. Just wondering if I was wrong for not seeing him pulling out and I shouldn't of changed lanes of if he should have given way. I'm not sure either way. Personally I reckon it was bad timing on both our parts, but at the same time he didn't have a safe place to wait for traffic to clear. I was clearly indi…

A proper tragedy, Picture says it all

RIP MARK PORTER! This was such an amazing Bathurst! SEEMS like Brock wanted someone up there with him. I am devastated with the outcome of the Fujistsu crash. I feel for all the friends and Family of mark porter and ofcourse David Clark. I don't really know what to say.

I don't know whether I'm behind the times and the rest of creation has already seen this, but it appealled to my interest in the .... well... different.

Hey guys, While I was away from the site I went through a lot of changes (including employment), I left road & track (toyota) to go to Signature Performance (nissan) and have been there for 6 months, My role there was to do mechanical repairs but took on the role of fabrication (exhausts, Boost pipes, Manifolds, Body conversions & cages), I am still learning to tig alloy but stainless and steam pipe/steal I am fairly good with so at the moment when I make alloy boost pipes I get the boss to tig them, I have just completed my 1st steam pipe turbo manifold which is going on a RB25, I will leave you with some pics and update when I do something new.

I was reading on some other forums where they're organising get togethers and BBQ's in memory of Steve Irwin, so I thought all the Rollaclub members in each state/city should organise a cruise in memory of our greatest Aussie Icon - Steve Irwin! Any intrerest and any suggesstions? KJ :P

And I thought I was going to have a boring holiday... Felt the Indonesia quake at 6 something in the morning... the wave hit around 9.30. All in all, the situation here on Male is not too bad, as we have two breakwaters in addition to the reef for protection. Some of the other islands were not too lucky, with about 6 or 7 people reported dead already. Some property damage, destruction of food stores, the sort of thing that happens when a tidal wave washes over a low lying island. Photos and more info are available.

not just "neat" ones, but ones that really mean something like; tim mc graw-angry all the time Here we are What is left of a husband and a wife four good kids Who have a way of gettin on with their lives I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day It's too late to keep from goin' crazy I got to get away The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time Our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young …

Hey! Guess what happened today! I was reversing out of my driveway and onto the road and I heard the turbo start to spool...in reverse I took my foot off the accelerator cause I didn't want to find out what happened next! I didn't know it did that! So it may be a stupid question, but is this normal? Lesley :o

Anybody know what it'd cost me to 3rd party a turbo car? 17, p plater? Can I do it in dads name with me as a driver?

Hey guys, I am quite puzzled at the moment, I have a 40inch full HD in my bedroom but I do not have a tv port. Now I have bought mulitple indoor antennas which are meant to be good for digital tv. However no matter where I put any of these antennas i can't even get a single channel even old school tv... I have tried to do it near a window, I have even placed the antenna outside and still no channels... We have a tin roof, would this effect it? If anyone knows of anything that I can buy or use that will give me reception i would appreciate it, I am almost thinking of buying a caravan antenna, but I'm not even sure if this will work. The only other option is…
