oooorrrrr... there's a sportivo turbo for sale at Toyota at Mitcham :( 68,000klms on the clock and totally standard!

looks promising, I have a navvi, and we'll probably be there :P

that thing must feel like a boat after driving the deux around! ... but very noice :P

your dog ..... or some random dog from around the place..... with a bad attitude ... and he wants to take your hand off because he's defending his new kennel?

lol nice analagy raven...... basically on a hill start you can "see" the friction point... if you're rolling backwards, you missed it, if you are hovering it means you're on it, and if you go forward it means you're right on! I learnt to hill start on a massive hill, it felt like I was taking off in a plane it was that steep, my dad used it as a test to see how I was going, and I hated it...eventually, I beat it, and I could hold my spot, without rolling backwards and hold it until he told me to go forward, eventually, when I had it down pat he let me go for my licence! :P

man, you're so lucky you weren't hit on the drivers side....are you ok? don't you hate bastards that don't know/ignore the road rules.

you can get velcro spots too from officeworks

hahahahha.... I love RVB ;)

we checked the vacuum hoses, but couldn't find any loose ones....tomorrow I'm gonna have a look and see what I can see.....

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ;)

hey thanks cuzzo, I don't usually go to toymods, I got a call from my mechanic. The car's done ;) although, I had 2 days of running around like a blue assed fly trying to find the right parts, and found out more about my car in the process ;) .... but now ..... my turbo flutters, sounds cool, but now that has to get looked at.... ho hum......

that was a bloody good match... fast paced, good passes, good tackles, I thoroughly enjoyed it. well done QLD.

I'm still not too sure if the clutch is the same across all the range..they don't actually have a listing specific to the turbo, and I'd hate to get the part then find out it's the wrong one.. I'm STILL waiting on calls to find out about the parts. I did go online to the exedy site and I got the part numbers and sent them an email to confirm that they're the same. The cost of the clutch was 409 (but I have had a couple of cheaper quotes but only by about $30 ish bucks) and labour was going to cost $500 which I thought was fair, because he's put off a couple of other jobs to do mine quickly...... on another subject....I got an email this morning, they want me and my car at toyota head quarters for a photo shoot (for the toyochamp trophy presentation). I told them I needed a week! Lesley :D

go blues... it's the decider tonight.... 7.30pm in adelaide

see, Toyota have told me it's a different clutch to the normal corolla...I know that originally they came out with a TRD HD Clutch, but last year the cost of that was over five grand, so they sent my old clutch to get it matched. I have calls in with three people trying to get the right parts etc, but I'll probably end up going with an extreem HD clutch with an organic plate. Oh, and the 1200 is for the supply and fit of master and slave clutch cylinders and the clutch. I'm pretty happy with the price. Lesley :D

no idea...he explained it over the phone...I haven't seen it yet. I was busy trying to get the RIGHT clutch for my car... the suppliers keep trying to give me the clutch for the standard rolla, not MY rolla.

Well my clutch has been playing up for a while, and last night I couldn't select reverse....and I forgot about the severity of the problem this morning...couldn't select reverse... turned the car off, gear selection is fine with and without clutch.... put it into reverse, start car, reverse works! YAY.... but then I couldn't get it out of reverse...turn car off... select first, start car, drive off YAY.... oh wait.... can't get it out of first! you see where I'm going with this??! Thought it could be the hydraulics, but the reservoirs were both full....so I called the RAA to see if they could pin-point the exact problem.... and OMFG! you know what the guy said??!?!!? first off... that's a pretty colour on that car ......then his diagnosis? "Sweetheart! you're just not pressing the clutch pedal all the way in, and it's not engaging. You really need to drive it rough" I couldn't be bothered arguing with him, so I smiled, said "thank you, where do I sign?" what a frickin DUMB ASS! I took it to my mechanic and he's said that there is a knob (or raised bit) between where the clutch plate and the pressure plate has come off and is causing my problems....while we're at it we're doing the clutch master and slave cylenders.. car off the road until probably friday and at a bargain cost of $1200 .... I so want to start on the engine bay but things keep breaking! Lesley :D

^^^^ thank you :( I filled up tonight on Premium Unleaded from a local independant servo, I paid 165.9 for PREMIUM! The local shell and woolies had their DISCOUNT unleaded (not premium unleaded) for 169.9 so you take the 4 cents off and you get.... 165.9 for standard run of the mill unleaded... I've been buying my fuel from this local independant servo for about 6 weeks, I've noticed an increase in the performance, and conincidentally, I've been getting more klms per tank... go figure! Lesley ;)

i lodged an insurance claim when someone did exactly the same thing...you should do it!!! (well excluding the "go f@$k yourself" bit)

A woman goes into a pet shop looking for a parrot. The assistant shows her a beautiful African Grey parrot. 'What about this one, Madam? A beautiful bird, and it's an absolute steal at only $20.' 'Why is it so cheap?' the woman asks. 'Well', replies the assistant, 'it used to live in a brothel and as a result its language is a touch flowery'. 'Oh, I don't mind that', said the woman, making her mind up, 'I'm broad minded and it'll be a laugh having a profane parrot'. So saying, she buys the parrot and takes him home. Once safely in his new home, the parrot looks around and squawks at The woman. 'F===! .... me, a new brothel and a new madam'. 'I'm not a madam and this is not a brothel,' scolds the woman trying not to laugh. A little later the woman's two teenage daughters arrive home. 'Un-f===king-believable. A new brothel, a new madam, and now two new prostitutes,' says the parrot when he sees the daughters. 'Mum, tell your parrot to shut up, we're not prostitutes,' complain the girls, but they all see the funny side and have a laugh at their new pet. A short while later, the woman's husband, Dave, comes home. 'In-f==king-credible, a new brothel, a new madam, new prostitutes, but the same old clients .... How ya doin', Dave?' Silence......

A farmer named Seamus had a car accident. In court, the lorry company's hot-shot solicitor was questioning Seamus. 'Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?' asked the solicitor. Seamus responded: 'Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite cow, Bessie, into the...' 'I didn't ask for any details', the solicitor interrupted. 'Just Answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?' Seamus said, 'Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road....' The solicitor interrupted again and said, 'Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.' By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Seamus's answer and said to the solicitor: 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow, Bessie'. Seamus thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge lorry and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feeling?' 'Now what the hell would you say?'

AUSTRALIAN DEFINITION OF A "TRUE FRIEND" Are you tired of all those namby, pamby, girly, sissy,completely Wet "friendship" poems, that never come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship: 1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry mongrel who made you that way. 2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile - I will know you've finally had a root. 4. When you are scared - I will tease the crap out of you about it every chance I get. 5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to stop your bloody whining. 6. When you are confused - I will use little words. 7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again, I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass. This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. Send this to your closest friends, then get depressed because you can only think of 2, and 1 of them isn't speaking to you right now anyway. shit why bother then... Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. So let me know if I ever need to me to bring a shovel.

Some points to ponder? If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car not called a racist? Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. But "I do" is the longest sentence? If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use ..... toothpicks? No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning. If quizzes are quizzical what are tests? Finally - Ever wonder about those people who spend $10 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: "NAIVE"
