Re: Old Toyspeed Christchurch photos

I thought it was the first one because the event was so huge, I remember lots of hype anyway, assuming it was because D1NZ had never run at Ruapuna before that.

Old Toyspeed Christchurch photos

Right I was having a cleanup the other day and I found four rolls of undeveloped film. I had no idea what was on them, or wether they would be perished with age as I thought they could be at least thirteen years old.

Took them in to just develop the negs and I got them back yesterday. What was on ...

Re: Tyre flavors

You can get Bridgestone Turanza in your size. Wait until Bridgestone have a buy three get one free/buy one get one half price deal.

Father has them fitted to his Lexus IS250 and they work well. Some quick passes over the Whangamoas and Rai Saddle on SH6 showed they do corner and brake well.

Re: What did you do to your car today?

Replaced Corolla front speakers. When I got the car, a previous owner had decided it was a good idea to cut the speaker covers in the lower dash and install these Pioneer coaxials.

Thankfully the local Pick A Part gets a reasonable supply of unmolested EE80/AE82s so I picked up some tidy speaker ...

Re: What did you do to your car today?

I normally shopped for tyres at KATS but the sales guy there didn't seem very enthusiastic about selling anything other than GT Radial or Achilles. There must be fat margin in those, so I just waited for a buy three get one free deal from Bridgestone.

Re: What did you do to your car today?

Found out the Blade's factory stereo does have Bluetooth for phones. So paired my iPhone to it and it works a treat, only seems to be for calling rather than music though. Also learned how to disable the stupid ETC warnings that pop down on the screen and annoy me every time I back up glancing at ...

Re: Crashed into.. dodgy details given.

Damn that sucks.

Van man who drove into the Blade denied liability to my insurer, I had to fill in a statement of my version of events and I had no excess to pay for the replacement doors. Not sure how he could argue that I drove into him when it was only my doors that had impact :lol:

That sucks. Mine is booked in with BodyTech down Mowbray Street, my mechanic said all the car that he has seen after repairs there have been done well. Mines getting a new front door and panel and paint on the rear door.

Re: What did you do to your car today?

Very nom nom.

Blade got run into by a van man. Insurance couldn't contact him on his cell, I got a snap of the rego plate though, so whoever it's regd to will be getting a hurry along by the insurance company.
