Even then the best I can get is about 270 Klm to half a tank.

I usually get around 370kms to a full tank, everyday driving. I have a pretty heavy foot and I think my timing is out too

I got mine from a local wreckers, $100 for a set of 4 from a 30k Corolla engine.
Geoff (sabretooth) just got a set for $80 from the same place and they looked pretty new too.
Loom is finished now:

I finished this up yesterday. I couldn't find a number plate bracket so I just decided to make my own. The top holes are tapped for little M6 hex drive screws with a spring washer.

Pedal pads were wearing out so since my son had some grip tape for his skateboard, I "borrowed" some!

.. are those my side skirts, Kev?
After my ordeal this morning, I went to change my tyres. Bridgestone Potenza RE002
So far, I'm liking them...no more slipping and sliding. More photos in a bit

It's working fine for me, Pete? Not sure if it's an imageshack problem

Won't be getting the lip so soon, Kev.. haha!

The intake kit is something higher on my list while I build up more funds for the lip (unless there's an SE one lying around nearby /cough)

Shuey, there was an SE front bumper with spoiler for sale in WA. It was advertised in the for sale section.
