I actually just bought new tires about 2 weeks ago, I have a 04 Sportivo 2.4, it had 195 supercat tires on it when i bought it and they were terrible, I then bought a set of 235 XR6 wheels which had the Michelin Pilot Sport 3s on it and the difference was incredible, but they can be quite costly and they're a softer compound so they wear fairly fast, I went to Jax and ended up getting a set of Hankook Ventus V2 Concepts with the buy four get get $100 off, cost me $380 + $66 for a balance. Now I'm not saying they're as grippy as the PS3s, but if the supercats were a 1 and the PS3s were a 10, I'd say the Ventus V2s would be a 7, definitely good value, plus they're a lot quieter than the PS3s. tl;dr Can recommend the Hankook Ventus V2 Concepts from Jax Tires, $120ea + $100 off a set of 4, pretty grippy, won't wear as fast as softer performance tires and will be quieter. Plus Hankook will replace a tire for free if gets damaged from a road hazard.

I ended up getting alloy hub centric bearings. Did it properly, got the wheels balanced and worn bushes replaced all at once.

Booked in for Tuesday to get the XR6 wheels fitted and balance properly with the centre bearings as well as some bushes replaced with nolathane ones, some dust boots and the water pump replaced. Also repainted the grille and in the front valance black, pretty subtle, im happy with how it turned out.

dude wtf, take it easy, theres no need to get so aggressive. Im trying to ask for help and you go and condescend me like a child that knows nothing, please dont comment on my posts if youre going to talk to me like that

Right, so im guessing this is something that usually needs changing when you put different wheels on it if the centre hole is bigger?

i dont have a clue, ive never changed them, the XR6 wheels just bolt straight on, what do the spigot bushes do?

So what started out as a bit of a joke, my mate had some XR6 wheels he was trying to sell. Figured that since they were the same stud pattern as my Camry, we'd chuck them on to see how stupid it looks. Well they fit and didnt hit anything at full lock and they dont look half bad, they even look kind of factory, so we put all four on and took it for a drive. An extra 30mm wider on each wheel (205 to 235) and some quality rubber, I could tell the difference immediately. No longer chirping at 3kRPM (used to have Supercat tires, they were awful) and sticking in corners when I would have definitely understeered before. Needless to say, for $200 I just bought myself a set of 17" XR6 wheels. Cheap upgrade that'll give a noticeable difference to the 36 series Camrys. (Side note, no longer looks like a boat either which is a big bonus)

Awesome, how much should a set of used callipers set me back?

As for the Kluger upgrade, is it as simple as going to the wreckers, asking for a pair of Kluger front callipers, then getting Kluger discs and pads? Or is there anything else I will need to get or need to know?

So uhh, Toyota decided that yes, I do need a new window motor, at a cost of $812. Eight hundred and twelve dollars. Replaced the car battery which was on its way out (not taking/holding charge very well), what do ya know, the window is working fine now.

Thanks, looking on ebay, they seem to be different between the front and rear doors, but fairly cheap if I do have to replace it

Just realised I have a spare door sitting there, would I be able to swap the motor from the old rear drivers door into the drivers door?

Soz man didn't get a notification, I'm in Toowoomba. On another note, my driver's side electric window winds the window down really slowly, sometimes coming to a stop after about an inch. Does anyone know if I would need a new motor or if I just need to clean something in the door, it has had the recall done, not sure when though.

What did you think of the UR Strut Brace? I constantly see posts from UR about them on Facebook, wondering what the quality is like, did you notice much difference and was it worth the price? Thanks Ashley and welcome

Gatton, Oakey, Pittsworth and Leyburn, maybe take it out to Morgan Park as well on the Wednesday Free Practice sessions.
