By my experience alarms (and thus remotes) are region specific and seeing as I am in Australia I won't be much use.

What I did find was the only way I could get remotes for my car was through Toyota, and they wanted $250AUD for two remotes and calibration... So i just replaced my whole alarm! It cost me a lot more ($500AUD), however I now have a much better alarm, a new warranty, and remote window lifters!

Thanks for all the ideas / suggestions. I may give a few of these a go (will test the current, try to lube tracks, etc) and let ya'll know how it goes!

If there are any more suggestions keep them coming!

P.S. I am still looking for a small enough NOS kit to fit behind the trim!

What I mean is my power windows have seemed to slow down a fair bit over the ages and I would like to get them back up to speed!

A couple of suggestions I have been given (but am yet to try):
Silicone spray surrounding seals
Lubricate window tracks
Replace / recondition the motors (not too keen on that one)
Mini NOS kit for my windows

However, I am more after as quick a fix as possible (i.e. something that doesn't require me to remove all the door trims, motors, etc).

Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone done anything about a similar power window speed issues?

I am with Just Car!

I live in the Canterbury region so that about says it all!

That is about right for us Aussie's!

I am currently paying $1,450 for comprehensive insurance (65% NCB, clean record, U25, live in one of the worst areas for theft) which is fairly expensive, however, not as bad as when I was with one of the larger insurance companies and was paying $3,500 per year (that is also with the 65% bonus - do the math for the full premium)!

Here you go...

I hope it is what you are after:

I don't see what the big fuss is...? Can't a car crossover into more than one catagory? Why can't a car be both? For example, Sport / Luxury or Sport / Sedan, Sport / Wagon or even Sport / Utility?

Yes, they all exist!

I decided to include a "before / after" picture...



I'll see ya all at the sand dunes!

If you want funny, then you want this:

On the streets it isn't about who has the faster / powerful car... it is about who is more crazy (and that isn't a good thing)!

This was done VERY quickly... but it gives you some idea of what to expect!

I guess it isn't too bad... if that's your thing...

This thread finally motivated me to put together something for my sig (plus it is Friday and I am not in the mood to do any work)!

Those clear inidicators look unbelievable! Excellent work!

I would love to get a pair but the price in $AUD is just not justifiable at this point in time...

I see you are a fellow Aussie! If you go the vertical doors you sure will be original over here! Personally I think they look good on the 6GC's but it really comes down to Cost Vs Appeal!

How much in $AUD do you think the kit (plus shipping) will set you back and how much to get it fitted?

And about 60 seconds later...

Exactly...

Personally, I consider them in the class "Sports Nugget". It looks like a sports car, but it doesn't move like one!

I am in the market for a set of rims too... I agree with the comments about needing 5 spoke too...

I am really liking the OZ Hydra's!

I am not sure what is the problem (or the question)?

Get yourself a decent tape deck and CD stacker combo if you want both CD and tape (and don't want to go doubled in), and run your ipod through the decks inputs, or a cassette adapter.

I have the exact same problem (full sized spare) leaving a nasty hump on the boot floor.

What this means is my sub box does not stand upright (as the tyre prevents it from sitting flush) so it is lying on its back in the boot (at an akward angle)... the result being the sub faces straight into the parcel tray (about 3 inches away) and LOT's of tray rattle!

I believe that 96 onward Celica's contained a space saver tyre so that that the spare tyre was sitting flush with the boot floor.

That is BRILLIANT and it must of taken a real effort!

I am going to have to add myself to the request list for the 3DS source file!

I am sitting at the 83,000 kilometer mark... which is just over 50,000 miles!

My baby has had an easy life!

I used to get a really ugly rattling sound from the metal handle on the wooden spare tyre cover so maybe you should check that out!

I would of never picked that as being the source of the rattle (as it seemed reasonably fixed down) but upon removal the rattling stop!

My car suffers from very little rattle without any modifications made to the interior.

The only two sources of rattle is a tiny bit from my number plate cover (which is minimal and I can put up with), but I am getting some EXTREME rattling from my parcel shelf.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can minimize rattling besides removing the parcel shelf completely (or turning my stereo down - because that is not going to happen)?

CelicaZR: I didn't get a proper chance to start tearing my car apart last night but as far as I coul tell there was nothing located under the driver seat (unless it is tiny and under the carpet - which I doubt). Soulshadow may be right in suggesting it will be under the dash near the steering column. I will have a better look tonight.

I am considering buying a new alarm as it won't be much more expensive, and I want to get window lifters fitted aswell!

I noticed you are also in Sydney so I guess you could point me in the right direction for the best price.

Soulshadow: I'll have a look where you suggested and see if I can find anything. I'll you know how it goes.

Btw, I wouldn't be able to survive without the alarm because I live in an area that is very prone to car theft!

I haven't checked so I can't say I am 100% sure. But this is the indication I got from the Toyota dealer (plus through my own research). If it isn't raining when I get home from work I'll rip apart my car and check (I'll take some pics if I find anything too)!
