Hey there,

I know everyone would tell me to do a search but yeh, I did search and most of the info/advice i found wern't directly related to me so I thot i would post it up see if anyone can tell me whats wrong.

I put in my strut brace couple of weeks ago and since then i've been going around corners harder then i had.. its all fun until the past few days.. (almost once or twice a day) I start my car and start driving @ low speed in a car park and once i brake the rear suspension/brakes just makes a grinding noise, it happens on the first or second brake i make and then its gone after that.. its quite loud to be honest so it scares me abit.

Just wondering if its time to change rear brake pads or isit something else wrong? suspension or shocks? maybe?

Thanks for ya help!

The rear brakes pads last ages since they do very little braking.

The noise we are talking about, is it like the noise race brakes make? If so check the rear pads anyway to make sure there is still some meat there. I just learn to live with the noise, plus it gives it the race car sound :P

It's a squeaky/grinding noise and if you listen closely they say "when I'm warmer I bite like a motha f@cka"

In all seriousness I've had thousands of brake noises front and rear so just wait it out and see if it disappears. Badboyz always says there might be a stone caught in there :

      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.
