Re: Toyota Blade V6.
i test drove one a while back, and i dont know if its an isolated case or normal for all of them, but it had the worst auto trans i have driven in a long time.

i suspect this is normal for drilled/slotted/dimpled rotors. Had a few cars with them now and they were all slightly noisy when braking hard at speed.

Re: Chassis removal company?
a quick google shows a few scrap metal dealers that would be worth a call, otherwise these guys claim to buy cars "no matter the condition" http://www.carcollection.co.nz/scrap-ca ... rth-shore/

Re: Talk some sense into me - Mazda RX8
whats the big deal with "running away" from cars with security interest? As long as the finance company gets their money and the interest is lifted, there is no issue. Sometimes you can send the money to them direct instead of relying on the seller.

Re: Alto upgrades
Have a look around some overseas forums. Keep in mind there is a huge following in the likes of India, and its called a Maruti not Suzuki.
Not sure you will get a heck of a lot more out of the wee 3 banger, but hey, fun to try.

Hah yep, witchcraft suspension is the one.
Once you have it all explained its quite a simple system, but it does have a number of elements to it. Fortunately its a Toyota, so they were the one company to pull off such a feat of engineering & see it last (with a bit of TLC)
Its not a gimmick ...

Re: Coilver install or Not ???
there are more and more colts coming into the country recently so the market is expanding.

Yeah, find that pretty easy to believe.
Really struggling to make a decision.
