Re: Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

Car has 58K miles from new Frank Am also thinking of using Dextron III ATF in the transaxle If the car already drove 58K miles with 10W40, I would stick to 10W40.

Re: Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

Hello Peter, What is the mileage of your car? If you always used 10W40, I wouldn't change the oil to synthetic one. There is a big chance if you do it, your oil consumption will be higher than your average fuel consumption! :wink: It is more effective to use half-synthetic from a good brand (Castrol...

Re: Post images

Normally, the idea was to do first the presentation and then the questions. But I'll do it the other way, so my posts count gets higher! :D I'd like to go to the JAE meeting in September but I have no idea how to get in and where to sleep. From Belgium it'll be a 500km trip. Can I buy tickets? Do I ...

The weather was a little windy today but not so bad after all Paul! :wink: Ideal weather to try some of the Meguiars stuff on my car. Still can't believe I rubbed the bodywork with a piece of clay and some expensive water with a "Meguiars smell"!! :) But the result wasn't so bad, unfortuna...

Hello,

I have a little restoration project of my AW11 I want to share with you guys. But apparently, I have not enough posts for the pictures.
Fortunately, I have saved everything in a Word document!
Can someone help me out with this problem or do I need to make more posts?

Thanks,

Frank

Thanks! I'm really curious to see them on the car !!! The wheels were sold in Europe on the Corolla GT but I have an American advertisement leaflet for the MR2 with the same wheels. So I guess they were sold with those wheels overthere. The previous owner of my car put them on the car and I found th...
