You can get away with mild steel here. If you do decent kilometers then condensed water won't build up an rust. Although, how far from the ocean are you?

Find a local exhaust shop and just get a new performance muffler fitted. Just make it clear you don't want loud or any drone at cruise speeds. You won't see any gains unless you go from the dump pipe back.

Maaate, 4" straight thru and a canon on the back.

@NurseHolliday did you get sorted for your ABS harness? I only just caught up with this. If you're still stuck I'm sure I could get something in an express package.

Ah actually, might be tricky... Forgot that as of Monday I'm not unemployed so time is more restricted!

If you're playing in that space, m3 touring?
Or RS4. Kids don't need much space in the back.

Found this today while browsing an antique seller here in Sydney.... Damn, should not have tried it on. Now very much want

Looks really good. Quite like their field watch too

Yeah, driving for more than an hour at constant speed, you need cruise control. I love the ACC in the Audi, works brilliantly and does mean I'm not worried about drifting way over the limit. Here in Australia with our archaic 110kph limit on most freeways and long distances ACC is essential.

What year/model of Corolla? Unless it's a GR, 16" wheels will be plentiful, cheap and no worries with fitment.

I'd have to say I prefer my 2017 iteration.
I do like the overall improvement in refinement of the size and less severe shape to the case side. However the dial is looking a bit of a mish mash now, it's lost it's character. And the handset... No more 12:00 rocket ship!

Half leather with alcantara inserts. Yeah, the back seat has a cover over it!

Definitely do get a variety of opinions. I think we had bad luck with the airbag ECU dying but otherwise the other maintenance seems standard. And look for high spec if you can. The adaptive cruise control and steering headlights are great plus the B&O stereo is pretty great for a car system.

I have a 2015 a4 avant 2.0t quattro s-line. With a tune and dsg tune.

I've had it for 6 years now. Not faultless but absolutely solid feeling and a great highway/road trip car. It was highly specified when new so it still has pretty current tech in it.

Issues:
Coolant expansion tank and coolant return lines from turbo @ 90,000 kays - not expensive
Dual mass flywheel replacement @70,000 klms = expensive (thousands with the transmission/ AWD service too)
Airbag system ECU failed @ 85000 , that was thousands again and a 9 week wait for the part from Germany ( I'm in Australia)
Brakes, go through pads every 20,000 and discs every 40,000.
Tyres wear well with a good alignment so my last set lasted 65000 - Michelin ps4 S but being on 19" rims tyres are expensive.

It drinks fuel at about 14 litres per 100 in urban driving. 6.8 on the motorway at 115 kph

Otherwise, still looks new to me, and the interior holds up well to kids.

Sounds and looks amazing. Great work. Must feel good to finally turn a wheel in it.

but it is an EJ20 so it's only a matter of time anyway

They are a lot more stout than an EJ25 though, right?

I'd second a GFB too. I'm about to put a GFB diverter valve into my pug, they make good bits of kit.

This might be of interest

Apparently it does come in white... Maybe just in some other European markets though. We don't get it here in Aus.

Still looks crazy seeing a Commodore crusing through the UK suburbs. Definitely deserves a DAS ( in a totally responsible and closed road environment of course....)

Woo, good news!

Now you can start planning mods...

So cool

That's ace. Have yet to drive a classic mini. One day!

Also, is that a Pontiac Firebird parked amongst old Renault and Citroens?

Very cool. I've never owned anything like that but I absolutely want one (or similar vintage, rugged but nicely restored/modded 4x4)
A old Ford Bronco in white with orange vinyl graphics would be nice too...

Get an aero enduro bike?

That's pretty normal fuel use I'd imagine. What's the tank? 55 litres?

@RonAsheton saw this at the coles carpark today, thought you'd appreciate it. The modern retro Jimny

You'll deffo be walking when the hEaDgAsKeT goes.... Jokes. Plates are cool, better when it leaves people scratching their noggin.
