Toyotafest 2022 Part 2 Preparation Day 2 With most of the nitty gritty prep done yesterday, it was one to some very fine details for today. This included an interior clean, minor engine bay clean after a degrease yesterday and some polish for the intake and muffler. I don't usually open my bonnet at the event but I thought the engine bay deserved a bit of love anyways. Probably the first time this year I've actually given the engine bay a clean. Here's how the beast looked this morning after yesterdays rain and post drying. Really over the moon with how the car turned out, the car looks fantastic given the age and paint condition. It was super easy and quick to dry today and made my life a lot easier to get the rest of the finer detail jobs done. It's now garaged tonight to avoid further wet weather and we await for tomorrows day ahead. Stay tuned! -
Update: I'm quite confused and dumbfounded right now, my mechanic said that all the suspension parts and consumables (motormounts, dampers, and etc) are in good shape and he stated that the culprit could be a camshaft sensor or there's a need for ATF replacement, what is your opinion regarding this @Tony Pr -
Very happy with what I achieved yesterday. The claying rubber and three way spray is basically my entry level into getting into decontamination, I know it may not be the best but I'm sure I'll eventually find something a bit better over time 🙂 I noticed how well it worked given a lot of the spots that were around the car are now gone! Especially on the rear bumper near the boot where water and dirt tend to sit since it's flat. From checking, one was a TYC and the other was a Valeo so I'm not sure if one was OEM or they were both aftermarket as I know TYC is an OE style replacement brand which I coincidentally replaced both sides with new TYC units. Ah yes, that is the JDM Runx badge. If you look closely, there is a small cut out in the design which makes the badge outline look like a "C". The Echo alternative, the Vitz has a similar badge that makes the shape appear as a "V".

I too would like an answer to this question. We have a 200 series with same specs...what i wonder is the following: apart from the torque convertor lockup, how do the other remapping changes influence the performance of the vehicle differently to hitting the power button on the console? For example, i note that the guys from South Aus who do it state that in the process they increase the turbo boost to 16psi...does hitting the power button the the console change the turbo boost pressure? is the remapping part of the upgrade worth it...or just the torque convertor lockup? -

I've only ever had Michelin tyres on mine. Our Aurion had the original Bridgestone's on it when we bought it and they were horrible. No grip and the road noise was horrendous. When we put the Michelins on it for the first time it was like riding in a Rolls Royce. It was sublime ! The car was totally transformed. Super quiet, improved steering response and way better ride. Just be sure when you have new tyres fitted, make sure the date codes are "old stock" I'm sure there are other tyres than can offer similar experiences to mine, but I can't confirm as I've only ever used Michelin. Been very happy with the brand and quality, so I just stick with them. Got my last set for a great deal with Supercheap Auto's promotion they had for their members, so that was great. Saved over $100 over a Bob Jane and the like..
