  1. Does green tea cake count? Cos that's some tasty Japanese shiznit right there... :)
  2. Noooooooooo you're missing the point... Headlights aren't just so you can see, they are so OTHER DRIVERS CAN SEE YOU... from a greater distance. Nobody is going to see your parkers when you have two vehicles coming at each other, both at 60kph, and one of you wants to turn across the other's lane. Goddamn city people need to get out on the open highway more often... every bugger has headlights on, even in the middle of the day...
  3. So basically, you are a danger to others on the road. Parkers don't make you more visible in adverse weather, and you can't turn your lights on because they blind people? Wft do you do at night... drive by braille? I'd be fixing that old chum. Its like people who put their fog/driving lights on in clear perfect weather... you know what I do to them? I blind the f@$kers. The Chaser has factory quad HIDS which do quite a nice job, or even better when I'm in the Surf which has 6x130w pencil beam IPFs. Enough to melt the shiteating grin off a douchebag from an lazy kilometer away...
  4. Tacho clusters are found in XX or CSX models. The complete cluster is a plug and play arrangement... take yours out, put the tacho one in. No wiring to be done. K engines redline at a very specific rpm determined by when your valves start bouncing off the pistons, or the timing chain flying off. Don't be afraid to experiment and find this limit for yourself... Its a K. Thrash it like a redheaded stepchild. It will still love you unconditionally...
  5. ^^^ Seconded.... Or at Dawn/Dusk People... the reason you turn your lights on is so OTHER drivers can see YOU, putting just your parkers on is completely effing useless. If the sun is too low on the horizon to cast direct light, your lights MUST be on full. Thats actually the law. Parkers are used only when parked/parking (funny that) to illuminate your vehicle so others do not run into you.
  6. Yes, that was a Pulsar. I have no idea what it is now. Words fail me.

    Be wary of EVERYONE in chang mai. Oh and just because she looks like a girl, don't assume she is one |blink|
  8. I keep telling you people.... 7shades IS the internet
  9. The problem will lie with the FWD dizzy sticking out the back of the head and making sweet sparky love to the firewall...
  10. 7Shades IS the internet.
  11. Ok I'll be contructive for once, instead of providing pissweak comedic relief. Audi solar Orange... this colour looks amazing in full sun...
  12. Christopher Sholes, in 1874.
  13. You've obviously never been to Prague |blink|
  14. Look a lot like FJ40-55 'Cruiser...
  15. WRX bonnet scoop and some JDM bodyline stripes... ooh and a CF drift wing. I'm really not helping here am I
  16. 1. Don't ask for opinions if you're going to get defensive when those opinions differentiate from yours. 2. Try not to alienate yourself from 3/4 of this forum's members by bagging out early corollas. Its not terribly endearing. 3. Seriously... until you start making performance mods to your car, its a shopping trolley. Sticking things on the bonnet will only earn you ridicule...
  17. Nah... was taking the piss |blink| Although a nice dark yellow with a pearl flip in the clear would look pretty porn.
  18. You don't have a top mount intercooler. Don't bastardise your car by sticking a TMIC scoop on it... lest you end up making your rolla look like every other "Got my 18' Vaults and lowered springs at the same time as I stuck the bodykit on with double sided tape" cheap arse bucket of shit shopping trolley. You won't get cool air into the bay with a scoop. You need ducting from down low in the front splitter, directed into your airbox/ricey pod filter. If you want to remove the heat from the bay, you need rearward facing outlets/vents at the rear of the bonnet.
  19. I've always wondered who actually buys vanilla coke...
  20. Yeah I'm not too clear on how this law works... I know in the case of Landcruiser Troopies for example, you can stuff a dozen people into the back with no belts quite legally, but thats because the rear seats are the side-mounted fold down bench type and have no belts from factory. Although, I've had mates booked for overloading before, so I'm not sure.
  21. Thats ok... there plenty of nice sturdy power poles around to assist the Darwinian selection... Like that Lancer with 8 people and a learner driver I remember seeing something about the other day
  22. Garden edging front splitter ftw... I have one too :jamie:
  23. aaaaaw they've disabled the comments.... Do you reckon it may have something to do with the several MILLION people that have viewed the build thread?
  24. Oh no... quite the contrary. The Surf diesels are unf@$kably reliable... (once the head has been redone) the downside is they are absoutely gutless and couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Mine has 370k's on it, still on the standard turbo, just had the head and fuel pump done. The Chev, on the other hand, makes more metres of torque than Newton would know what to do with, but will quite inconvienietly shit itself to bits with no provokation or reason. The Surf only sees occasional duty for offroad weekends and camping trips so I'm hoping the big block doesn't decide to pack it in somewhere out in the boonies... :) I could theoretically also bolt in the 6.5L V8 Turbo from the military spec Hummer H1... if I can find one :bash:
