Has anyone done any mods yet??

I'm looking at maybe lowering mine a bit, but undecided at the moment.

Are there any engine mods that can be done cheaply???

I've done the following: No Mechanical changes to the drivetrain at this stage..

Lowered 55mm

18" Wheels

New JBL Amp, 6x9 speakers, LC6i signal convertor, Dynamat on doors

Tint

Lowering it, and adding wider wheels made a huge dufference to the handling.

When you say handling, is it smoother (ie. not as rough) than the stock?

more of the opposite, handling would be round corners, the car rolls less and more firm and is not going to lose it as much.

It will be a more bumpier ride because the springs will be more stiffer, 19-20" in rims will also add to the harshness as well...

As long you dont regularly go over bumpy roads etc, its all good, otherwise prepare to get kidney problems in a few years down the track lol.

- upgraded front and rear speakers to MB Quart Premium Splits

- 2x 12" Rockford Punch Subs

- 1 Amp to power subs, 1 Amp to power splits

- Rockford 3Sixty.1

- Tint

- Sound deadening of front doors and boot.

Will wait couple more years to get 18 inch rims. Not planning to lower it though.

I want to keep mine stock stock stock!

No need to worry about scraping the bottom over humps

No need to worry about the wife kerbing the rims

No need to worry about getting pulled over and defected!

No need to have my teeth jarred from overstiff suspensions

Drive comfortably without the drone of a loud exhaust (Exhaust systems sound horrible on auto's anyway)

If I wanted the above, I'd just take out my 2 litre EG Honda Civic. LOL

I personally wouldn't bother about CAI to be honest.

Agree..If you do CAI, you should do Exhaust, when you do both, you should get a computer.

Ahhh...If I were to modify my Aurion, well, first thing I'd probably do would be to change the Brake Pads and tyres.

I wouldnt do a CAI for the aurion, last time i looked at the engine bay its already got a CAI.

just change the panel filter to a K'n'N one or something.. it would be more effective and you wont get defected hehe

but then you'd be missing out on the ROARRR

F#CK that looks good in white. Love your work. Who lowered it 55mm? TRD springs or after market jobbies?

Hey guys, I took off the mufflers today, and ran the car for a bit!

You get a deeper note, but only a little bit louder. (the resonator does it's job TOO well)

It's still quieter than a stock WRX.

So I've decided to put TWO XFORCE cannons on!

This will be the new VAREX with the remote control butterfly valve, so it will be loud loud, with maybe a little gain.

But I'll be able to control the volume of the noise from the exhaust!

check it out here guys

http://www.autoxcess.com.au/default.asp

I'll keep you guys posted, and let you know how it goes!

If I have time, i'll take a video and post it.

The whole thing is costing about $900

There was a guy from repco there when i went to get my exhaust looked at.

So he took my dimensions for a K&N panel filter and said he'd try get one made... (there is no K&N filter that will fit right now)

so hopefully soon we will have our own filter guys!

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
