Yes but with one caveat, make that 2. California and snow. California the nanny state for emissions and basically we don't have snow here unless you are mad enough go searching for it. Seriously though I'm amazed by the aftermarket industry in the US. If you can dream up a car project to do...

Here in Australia the 45th anniversary orange is a std colour no extra charge and no tacky side decals. Phil

Which brand is it? Phil

I second the carbon PPF. Lets face it most aftermarket carbon is a bit suspect and it's pretty much 21st century chrome anyway. May as well just admit it to yourself that it's a cosmetic thing and simply go the PPF route. I've been using/maintaining/repairing proper Autoclaved pre preg CF on...

The CDV has nothing to do with "rev hang" which was my question. My manual clutch and gearbox works perfectly. Both are way better than a Tremec T-56 behind a Chev LS engine ah la Pontiac GTO and better than both my Focus Rs's. So far It's the sweetest 6 speed manual/clutch combination I've ever...

How's it do that. Phil

My kitchen this morning. A juvenile. The wife and I leave them be to get on with their life in the house unless they get themselves into a location such as a door jamb or window that might see them squashed then we scoop them up and put them outside. They all get the same name, Harry. Harry the...

Someone mentioned the tool clearance issue for the mount screws for the ZL1 rock guards when doing the rear wheel wells. Here is a simple and useful and very space efficient tool for phillips bits. Just drive an 8mm nut over the phillips bit and use a 1/4" ratchet ring spanner as a right angle...

Ordered red but was open to other options if I could see it in the flesh. Phil

Yes. I was quoted 6-9 months that ended up 13 months to the day. Biggest dealer in Melbourne as well. Phil

The fitment looks, um, Sub Optimal. Phil

So you don't like piggyback ECU's, neither do I I've been canning them for 25 years and tuning the ecu's on sports bikes but you're overreacting a bit here. At least they backed their decision to use one with dyno numbers. As for the exhaust mods well they did point out ad nauseum it was for the...

Anytime the battery is suspect/low you will get all sorts of erroneous codes thrown. I'd address the battery before anything else. Phil

A few general comments on brakes and fluid. Some cars such as Ford Focus RS mk3 have a brake system thats not totally sealed. The cap sealing bladder has an integral "valve" so total sealing isn't guaranteed. You can get water ingress beyond the usual leaching through the cap bladder and other...

I have one and I have checked it's calibration and they are surprisingly accurate. Phil

The brake fluid on my DD's last 2 years before it is around 3% water contaminated and requires changing. Not all brake systems are totally sealed by design. Phil

I assume it is but not 100% sure. Red was the only colour I had the opportunity to see in person before ordering the car. I won't choose a colour off a screen, I need to see it in person before deciding. Not unhappy with red although we now have 3 new red cars, lol. Phil

Same as @BMWAF, just hassled Toyota Australia in a direct manner and wouldn't take any rubbish about it can't be done. It's more painful than it should be. Phil

At last. Thirteen months exactly. No hideous front plate mount either :thumbsup: Phil
