Doesn't putting the Presara grill on the ZR6 defeat the purpose of getting a ZR6 in the first place?

Yeah, I just bought my ZR6 because I liked the grill :lol:

A few people I know of have replaced the sportivo grill with the presara/prodigy grill (me being one). The Prodigy/Presara grill really sets off the front of a Black aurion because of the chrome highlights.

There is no aftermarket grill replacement I know of if thats what you are asking.

Well, seeing as the ZR6 is more of a prodigy masquerading as a SX6

or an SX6 masquerading as a prodigy... either way it falls somewhere in between,

I can see why ZR6 owner would do that!

But for me at the moment, my preference is to keep my muscle looking like muscle and not try to be so pretty! :whistling:

But then again, I'm still just a kid, maybe when I'm as old as you Mkay I'll want a little more 'silver' in my hair! (chrome on the grill in case anyone missed that analogy.

haha :yahoo:

SX6 & ZR6 sporty? Yes!

Muscle? I don't think so. Unless you just graduated from a four cylinder :lol: (not that there's anything wrong with them)

A bit of silver just adds distinction. :yahoo:

Well, I've just been driving an Avalon for the last 3 years,

So the same applies I guess

I like to think of the Aurion as an "Avalon Evolved"

gosh... that didn't sound so tacky in my head... :unsure:

I don't even want to go to Avalon comparing it to the Aurion, lol.... Unless we are talking about the US Aurion I mean Avalon... : :idea:

Don't be fooled I reckon theres potential in this 2GE engine we have... Look at the IS350, same engine and N/A but managed to produce 230Kw and almost 400nm, and does 0-100km/h at a 'claimed' 5.3sec, that a niiiiceeee kick to the teeth to the Nissan VQ350 on the 350z which has 'claimed' same power but only 350nm torque and half a second slower :P.

Oh common, there's more than potential in these things, it'll crap all over those other little jap toy cars that kids are 'hooning' around in these days.

Holden and Ford equivalents won't even be able to eat our dust as we'll so darn far ahead!

consequently does anyone know the actually 0-100km time for the Aurion? let me know

Hi Guys,

Has anybody heard of a replacement grill for the Aurion Sportivo ZR6. I would really like to get rid of the big T logo on the front.

Cheers

Venom

Hello Venom,

I have a Presara and decided the Grill needed a touch up, this may not suit your tastes and as I dont know the colour of your car, but if its Black I think it would really stand out.

P.S. I've also had the Emblem and the Text on the Boot Gold Plated.

Derek

Err Yeah thats what I was implying, Im getting the feeling the 2GE is somewhat tuned for economy given our same engine makes 230kw on the IS model.... :whistling:

From what I remember Aurion claimed around ~7.2sec mark

Well youre not really comparing apples with apples with the Aurion and IS350 engine.

IS350 has 2GR-FSE, the main difference being direct injection fuel delivery (+ conventional port fuel injection as well strangely enough). 232kW, 377Nm... and with the direct injection the 2GR-FSE is considerably more efficient than the 2GR. 2GR-FSE has made it into the worlds top 10 best engines 2 years running now.

so could you get the 232kw out of the aurion engine by swapping the ecu with the is350 chip?

No u cant..., because of the dual system you wont be able to, Aurion has only one.

What is the economy like on the 2GR-FSE compared to the 2GR-FE?

I had always thought the FE was directly injected anyway, from what I could tell from a quick glance, but I haven't really investigated it much yet...

It would be interesting to see what these engines are capable of though, although in many ways, it seems that they have been extremely well designed from the ground up to be performing quite well compared to many stock engines in other cars.

Fun police...... Back to the subject. :whistling:

Personally I dont like the "Presara" grill, too much silver. But the Sx6 has a big ugly silver thing in the middle to. Wonder if it's worth painting black ?

I would go for something more plain.

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
