Guys/Gals and peekay :P

I had some spare time today so I decided to clean the look of the calipers. Which were already painted red.

I ended up cleaning all of the paint of the pads clips etc and repainted the calipers porpelry rather than just covering the rotor and spraying everthing i could see :D and resprayed the clips.

I think the new look is a bit more refined. and obviously alot more time consuming.

Did you paint the hubs? They look pretty crappy unpainted and does make a big difference to the look of your wheels. Have a look at pics of my car. Think it adds that finished touch.

bullet,

yeah mate I though about that but I dont think the red hub looks good!? IMHO

I think that when I finally upgrade the rotors (DBA Slotted) I will paint the hubs black. so that they dont take away from the mag wheels and the rotors ;)

But they do look scmik on yer car brenden B)

I spoke to DBA Melbourne a while ago they have disks for the Rolla which they can slot. Just need to be ordered.

What about painting the hubs in a universal type silver to match your wheel? Black can tend to look a bit factory boring if you what I mean. My opinion on the matter.

Planning to do mine this weekend.

I'm going to be different and go for Yellow.

I think it'll look hot against the silver duco

You took the words right out from my mouth. I want to paint mine yellow as well. Not really sure how that will go with my white car but red is just too common and predictable.

Are you planning to take the calipers off to paint them?

Yeah, Red does look good but just too common now. I've seen the yellow on Porsche's and I love the look.

No I'm just going to tape off and cover all the bits I don't want painted.

I might start tonight because I don't have any stands so it's going to be a slow process doing corner at a time.

I think PBR do slotted ones.

My painting is post-poned (my brother is borrowing my car next few days) so you have to wait a little longer to see what the Yellow looks like E-gene

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
