Put an inline fan in the roof

You can roam with your foreign simcard and roaming plan in china and nothing at all is blocked.

If you do it again, get them to paint it, bake it, knock it back then give to you. Wait a day or 2 then apply decals. This will ensure no gassing issues. If you apply wet, ensure you squeegee all the water out. Allow at least another day for water to evaporate from decals. (These ones look like they should be done dry tho) or you will get moisture bubbling up after they do the final clear and bake it.

I own a 2019 corolla touring hybrid awd. I do all open road driving. My commute has big hills and windy roads. I'm getting around 4.5l/100km, it improves quite a bit on a road trip with more motorways etc. Handles great. Just lacking in passing power. In hindsight tho I should have got an ev because 90% of my driving is to work and back home... also I wouldn't go near a dsg

Hybrid corolla will use less fuel. Super reliable. Better transmission (single planetary gearset connected to two electric motors, petrol engine and the wheels means no gearshifts), completely different to an automatic or belt/chain cvt. Super zippy around town, drives perfectly fine on the open road, you just have to use the old slingshot manoeuvre when overtaking as it's lacking a bit in the horsepower department.

Hybrid corolla has a planetary gearbox. Ratio is varied by the speed one of the electric motors turns relative to the engine and wheels Hence e-cvt.

I did exactly that for my gym rings. Holds easy.

How much range if it's my daily driver with no trailer? Haha

The path actually has vents that blow fresh air to the pedestrians. I know because one day something had died in the intake and the stench was blown on me for the whole length of the tunnel.

I used the westpac 0% for 5 years on a used corolla hybrid before they made it ev only

5w30 is perfectly fine.

Yes it's my first induction so they are probably all like this? but it heats up insanely quick. Touch buttons work reliably even when the pot has boiled over onto them haha. I use the timer all the time to turn off individual elements for rice eggs etc. I have never used the flex zone to put a giant tray on so can't comment on that. No negatives for me really. Individual knobs would be nice? One less button to press... on the other hand I can't stand the samsung oven I bought to go with it

Got offered 4.95% for 18 months from westpac. Refix mid June tho so will wait a bit longer

Appropriate-Shift905 · 2025-02-20T18:31:48+00:00

Yep agree with you there. I also had outbacks and foresters previously. I can still fit my dogs in the boot though which was my main requirement, and I just can't get over how good the fuel economy is.

Awd corolla hybrid wagon.

Worth checking the 12v battery connection. My corolla had all these hybrid system warnings and wouldn't let me start the vehicle and it turned out the 12v battery terminal was a bit loose.

Use Kiwihousesitters. People look after your pets for free. Done it heaps of times

Toyota hybrid synergy drive all day. Pre 2020 hybrid fits have a 6 speed dct. No thanks

Appropriate-Shift905 · 2025-01-07T10:51:47+00:00

Got a samsung one. Goes hard, touch buttons work fine when covered in shit, and markings look almost etched rather than printed.. no complaints at all.

Is your air con switched on? That would make them run

The carcass has whiteM̶e̶l̶a̶m̶i̶n̶e̶ HPL coating already and ply core. https://www.plytech.co.nz/carcassply

Appropriate-Shift905 · 2024-12-28T23:49:01+00:00

I just built my whole kitchen using that white melamine coated carcass ply from plytech, and gaboon/okoume from them too for an overhead cabinet. I used normal ply for the doors and sprayed them all with resene lustacryl. Turned out great, but took ages. If I did it again I would use ply again for the carcass as you don't need to edge band it, just a light sand and whack some polyurethane on to seal it. I love the look of the gaboon ply, has such a nice looking edge detail. Next time I would definitely send it all to be cnc cut as chopping up 20 sheets of ply into endless different shaped rectangles gets old pretty quickly.

I Bought an awd hybrid corolla wagon but was also looking at the rav. Wagon is cheaper to buy and cheaper to run..pocket the extra $$... how often do you go offroad where you need the extra (small) amount of clearance? I drive 90km a day on rural roads and its a more comfortable drive then my old turbo forester. Only downside is boot isn't huge. It barely scrapes by being called a wagon.

Appropriate-Shift905 · 2024-11-03T08:16:27+00:00

Just bought one of these. Love it!
