great video

sounded great to me :bananapopcorn:
looks like he was doing it for the camera............ such an obliging chap !!
London is full of young Arabs in supercars and to hear them revving the nuts out of them is quite common
however I can understand that some people might get annoyed with it
If some little chav sat there revving up his corsa, most people here would give a similar reaction

Hey Baz, de-ja-vu ?
I remember you had one before
Barrie is your son on Corolla Club UK?he tells me no
-
bit of a de-ja-vu moment
I must admit to liking them, very stealth with a decent amount of power
my son also has one

I think I had better buy myself a proper brake bleeding kit in case I get caught out like this again, any recommendations? The Eezibleed seems the best one but seems pricey for what is essentially a plastic bottle and clear tubing?
Also how long does brake fluid last once opened?
get yourself a bit of hose and a glass jam jar, tried and tested method cheap and effective, only downside is you need a second person to push the brake pedal
once opened and exposed to air it starts absorbing water, even in a half full sealed tin ! so use and throw is the best policy

would love to have popped up again
but I have been told we are on babysitting duty
-
that's quite a transformation
who's car is it
-
oil will be fine
if only at idle it sounds very much a pressure problem, possibly and hopefully just the switch
-
I would say the car has not been built to carry the power its running
-
I think the point has been missed
spend £40000 on a wreck
spend £10000 restoring it (guesswork)
and you end up with a £50000 car
see its simple maths really
you then try and sell it for £8000

They don't muck about over there, do they > http://www.yaplakal.com/forum28/topic431141.html

Attention seeker!

We are out here at the moment
Day of watching the VLN today
Last weekend being Easter was very busy, lots of inexperienced drivers and showing off to the crowds !!
This weekend is nice and quiet and the nordshliefe gets the bonus of being extended around the GP track

on the Starlet I found that by uprating the front alone it produced more understeer
when matching the rear to the front it reduced it, but didnt overcome it
by then reducing the front to below oem size and ratings it produced a neutral handling with no dramatic over or understeer
by experimenting you find things out, that on paper shouldnt work !

I do think they should maybe educate the average pedestrian
seems the onus is as usual on the motorists, do they actually teach kids "road safety" nowadays or is it "how to claim compensation"
I have watched mothers herding kids across roads when there is a crossing 20 yards away, and so many times people oblivious to the fact they are on a road

Amazing photos, I would like to see us Brits do that in a year. I wonder what they did will all of the debris?
they sorted it and then piled it up, ready for recycling !
if you check out google earth you can see it in certain areas
for interest: in Tokyo the buildings were not particularly affected, being quite a distance from the epicentre, but anything that wasn't built on firm foundations sunk around 6 inches, the streets and pavements are full of strips of tarmac allowing the different levels to be levelled out
pics taken by a friend in Jan 2012
in all these pictures the surfaces used to be flat !
Brits !!....well how long did it take us to sort the roads after the snow and ice of 2010/2011, oh thats right we still haven't finished
-
this used to happen on the Lexus, so may be a Toyota thing
try holding the nozzle at a 45 degree angle or experiment with angles until you find one that allows it to stop cutting out

gots to ask why anyone would go away in the first place when theres that much love at home!
not sure they get the choice

Is it 5 stud or 4 stud ??
The stock Evo tyre size is 225/45/17 so perhaps a Evo space saver would suit , many people just chuck them away
As for going into limp home mode thats common for 4wd cars
5 stud
the spare I have is from an Evo, was being chucked as the Evo was to become a track car
it is 4wd but can be switched to 2wd
-
for a 215/60/17 tyre
what would be the suitable temporary tyre size ?
would a 125/70/16 be suitable as i have one of those spare
I dont like the idea of a can of squirty stuff, it will never fill up if there is a considerable hole and as far as i know they require the tyre to be repled after use
I think you need to be careful on this, a friend had rear tyres changed on his Merc, they fitted slightly different sizes on the rear axle, diff thought there were problems with the rotational speed so the ECU went into limp mode.
Took him ages to work out what the problem was!
Don't know if Lexus has the same sort of thing.

this is only for the spare in case of emergency, it limits driving speed to 50mph, but I believe its better than being stuck on the side of the road, especially if I have the trailer on the back
Its on a Mitsubishi ASX strangely in Europe they dont come with a spare, yet in other countries they get a space saver or in some a full sized spare !
Mitsubishi want £168 for a space saver !
seems to me another way of cutting costs, they throw all the attractive goodies in but leave a basic emergency item out
According to the tyre size calculator we have here in wim the percentage difference is 2.488% so within limits.cool,
saves paying a fortune for another one and I can have piece of mind
