  1. could mount something in the grill area? or roof rack Bulbs are about 5-7 years max, they start blue shifting and dim until failure. Bowls will be much harder to check, basically have to split the housing and take the projector apart, unless you have some fancy fibre optic camera. Not worth doing unless you notice the light barely visible. Just grab an Osram/Philips bulb from here https://www.powerbulbs.com/au/store/category/xenon-hid-bulbs-d2s-d2r-d1s-d1r/fitting/d2s-85122 Cool Blue Boost is for that 6000K LED look, other wise any of the others will be better than old OEM ones. I found Cool Blue Intense to be the right amount of blue for that 'modern' look without compromising too much on usable light. Otherwise, Philips vision (standard replacement) works great (I'm still rocking those in my first HID retrofit in my R32).
  2. and a Camry will still chop you off the lights. Turn it into a handling machine, then later turbo or sell car and get a faster one
  3. you want the brightest part of your low beam to be at the cut-off. You don't want light in front of your bumper because you can't see into the distance. How old are your bulbs? Have you inspected the projector bowls? Make sure the outer plastic lenses/covers are clear, any hazing or yellowing dramatically reduces output.
  4. quite possible that a taxi company just forgot it in shed somewhere when it was new
  5. My advice is to spend some time searching around these forums. There is a dyno thread with mods listed.
  6. full send it - fix whatever breaks - then cry after paul walker/covid tax
  7. First Oran Park now Wakefield. GG lads
  8. If it ain't broken...
  9. Sadly I have to take up drug dealing to afford any of this
  10. Straight out of the bonnet obviously
  11. LISTEN MATE I'VE PLAYED GRAN TURISMO...
  12. Remember you're buying a 25-30 year old car, expect things to randomly break. Also expect the wiring to be falling apart.
  13. Doubt it, install them and see? They're like 5psi and the factory solenoid bleeds it to 8 or 12 after you remove the restrictor
  14. Wow that's a lot of drug deliveries. But at least you got your stuff.
  15. That's a pretty common one that splits. I drove around for a week while waiting for a second hand one to arrive, just stay off boost haha.
  16. What oil are you using? I suggest going to a thicker oil since engine is worn.
  17. Mine was a GT wagooon manual. Floppy shifter but otherwise ran fine. I was rather lucky as I had zero issues with it. I found it quite a luxurious ride. As for tyres, my general rule of thumb is: 7.0" = 215 7.5" = 225 8.0" = 235 8.5" = 245 9.0" = 255 9.5" = 265 10.0" = 275 But I did put 265/35 on R34 GT-R (18x9) wheels though
  18. Gen 5 Liberty wagon, very nice
  19. Here's a picture for comparison's sake (of my car). Note that Advan AD08 is a chunky tyre.
  20. Guards rolled. My car is fairly low and it does occasionally rub on the front liner on full compression, although not as bad as 275/35. I also run like -2deg camber and about 6deg castor.
  21. 18x10 +20 is the max i'd go (it's what I'm running) 285/30 looks good and fits better than 275/35 285/35 is too big IMO
