  1. You could try a high tensile threaded rod but then you're likely to snap something else off. You should give a standard air cleaner a go. Most of the corolla ones I've seen come with an extra bracket to the manifold to support itself. Something tells me Toyota designers were expecting quite a bit of engine vibration.
  2. That'd be my guess. Whatever it is it's a gearbox off job.
  3. iinet bouncing
  4. Yet another reason for me to have the shits with the server hosts poor management practices of late. If you're not getting email notifications this is why: Hotmail: Yahoo: .... just drops the emails, no bounce. Others: ??? I'll try and change to an SMTP server somewhere else but I'm not entirely sure that will work. Failing that it will have to wait until we move to the new server (which is being configured as we speak).
  5. *sigh* if this 200Gb ext3 format doesn't finish in 7 minutes (and it wont) I'm going to have to try and sleep with all my computers and an 85db server screaming in my ear until I get the shits with it at 2am and finally power it off. The things I do for rollaclub!
  6. With suspension, you get what you pay for. Be a tight arse and be fully prepared for massive compromises. There is no such thing as a cheap, good quality damper.
  7. Stick a few porno mags in her letterbox. Might as well solve the problem at its source!
  8. True that. I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising that it doesn't fit. From the poking around I've done it would seem Toyota has used several different front floor pans in the E70's. Good to know anyway.
  9. NACA duct!
  10. Yep its only your name/login that changes. Your Member No/UserID is what really identifies you as far as the software is concerned. I'm happy to do this for people provided it doesn't get excessive (i.e. I end up spending all my spare time changing peoples usernames). If it does get to that I might ask for a small donation or something. Anyway my only proviso is that you indicate somewhere visible the previous name of your account (in your signature for example) and obviously the name needs to be available.
  11. You need to send myself a PM and I'll change it for you.
  12. Well it is a Quad core Xeon so....
  13. Your best bet is to head along to one of these days. I imagine Wakefield would be the closest circuit to you? http://wakefieldpark.com.au/index.php?opti...6&Itemid=42
  14. Sounds like he f@$ked up the valve clearances to me... or hes exacerbated an existing problem in your engine.
  15. Sigh... what a piece of crap. 6 hours downtime in one day and ridiculous load spikes to boot. New servers got its base OS installed, working on Xen virtual machines to actually run the site now. Still don't think it'll be done before Christmas :dance:
  16. Certainly looks that way.
  17. And a pig to drive to boot! I'm guessing your motor is definitely not a competition engine (or you'd be looking for a cam with the characteristics you want, not just a gay idle) and I'm 99.9999% certain you wont be running anywhere NEAR 12:1 compression ratio. I give it a month and you'll be looking for a stock cam.
  18. Its more the over exposed areas where the suns shining through that ruin it. Needs to be either full sun or full shade.
  19. can't be as bad as the new WRX. I'd never felt physically ill looking at a car before I was following one the other week....
  20. Ah yea suppose it'd be them too probably more so I would imagine. We've got a Bosch continuous flow so I wouldn't know. I do know my brothers air conditioners pump kicking in is enough for my UPS to click into voltage boost mode (so its dropping below 220v). I'm totally with you though, I don't expect energex to do anything aside from bandaid fixing it every time the power goes out. Especially considering its all underground and they'd probably have to dig up the street to do anything serious about it. My brothers been trying to convince me to get an 8kVA Dunlite for a mere 2 grand. If it keeps getting worse I could weaken... but then I'd need a sparky to put a generator plug in. Ehh f@$kit I'll just get another UPS for the HTPC and just run it off the little generator every time the power goes out. Just need to try and silence it a bit more I think.
  21. Well the power went out in the storm last night....like normal for us....it goes out in almost every storm. BUT! this time I was prepared. All the computers in the house (except the HTPC) are all hooked up the UPS (batteries basically) so I got about half an hour of use out of my main machines before the battery got low (not out, just low). So then I decided to switch over to my laptop and use the wireless because the UPS for the network infrastructure is way more powerful than it needs to be. So I got almost 2 hours use out of that.... then that UPS ran out. So I roamed around the house for a while (for about an hour after the network UPS ran out) being bored then cracked the shits. I called energex and the only place listed was OUR STREET. Now I've know the infrastructure (which is underground) in our street has been pretty *** crap for a while now. The past two summers we've lost power on completely clear days just because the mains can keep up with the air conditioners in the suburb. Pathetic. Its gotten to the stage now that in the past month or two we've had around 48 hours power outage. Its really starting to irritate the piss out of me. The other week the power was flashing on and off because the wind was blowing (obviously high voltage feed lines arcing nearby) then it dropped out all together. I think it was the following weekend that I decided to go buy UPS' (last weekend). Ironically I get back from the computer store annddd THE *** POWERS OUT! Last night I'd had enough of this BS so I decided no more darkness, grabbed the generator off the back deck where it had been lying in wait, fueled and ready to go. I hooked one of the UPS' up to the home theater PC (to smooth the power out, they have an over voltage/under voltage correction), stuck the little 1.2kVA generator out in the back yard and watched TV until the power came on. Don't know what the neighbors thought of it but hopefully it gets them to complain to energex to get this bullshit sorted out. When the power did finally come back on the UPS on my computer (which is the only one with monitoring software at the moment) was reporting 196 volts!! Sure I can understand that it would be down because all the refrigerators in the area would be running their little hearts out. But even so that's pretty pathetic for a grid with its own high voltage supply and transformer for around 50-100 houses. Most nights it will drop below 210 volts around 8:30-9:30. Starting to really annoy me!
  22. I love his genuinely fake momo wheels. And the single flogged out mag for $100.
  23. Turbo Charades use aisans. I have a sneeking suspicion they go close to bolting onto a K manifold too! I've also seen them flow enough for 200whp.
