gday. I'm doing up a AE112R sedan too :D check out my ride... http://s52.photobucket.com/albums/g6/cheung07/AE112R/

however it's gotten more updates since those pics...

pretty much what Rolla Boy has said...

I definitely recommend a nice suspension setup is best for the sedan... absolutely awesome around bends compared to the liftback.

Definitely get either a Genuine Levin front spoiler (2 peice + 6 clip-bolts) or Sportivo front spoiler painted.

What I started with was intake... K&N panel filter and rerouting new piping from airbox to front bar. Then moved onto 17" wheels and lowering 35mm with King springs & KYB shocks. There's lots of things you can do... I found my ideas from cardomain.com as well.

where abouts are you located? I know there's 2 white AE112 sedans rolling around Brisbane that are dumped.

pffft! yeah we get the solid beam rear ends wtf is with that? thats what let the model down in the reviews the fact they cheaped out on the suspension.

definate dumpage must happen with your sedan and a set of 18s will give you all the cred you need

Hahaha, we get the real deal :P :P :P ...

From memory that starts a chain reaction which gets you the girls as well, har har har.

The 2000 models have the facelift fronts yes?

Yeah mate, facelift came on the 2000 models... My car is now a facelift as I hated the bug eyes... lol...

How you all doing... I too have a 2000 ae112, mines the ascent liftback though... with the fat rear end :P

Quick question, with the panel K&n filter... would people reccomend this over a pod filter?... advantages, disadvantages?

Sedans never came with the bug-eyes though, fortunately (they do suit the Seca sometimes though, depends on the car)

You won't feel the gains with either panel or pod filter.

Pod for noise...

Panel for better flowing replacement than the generic fibre filters...

So let me put it this way... if you want a cheap alternative... then just get a panel filter and re route piping from airbox forward... because the standard piping inlet faces to the right behind the left hand headlight. There isn't much cold air going there. So you should remove resonator in front bar and route piping through there.

You'll spend less money doing that than paying to get mild/stainless steel piping from throttle body to pod filter etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone... :)

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Did you end up getting a head unit for the Rav4? I'm thinking of purchasing one from eBay for my 2015 Rav4.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Any RA 60 owners?

      Hi all ,new member here. Just wanted to introduced myself and show off my new to me 1983 Celica 2.0 XT liftback. Got from the original lady owner who had it for 41 years! It's had 2 sets of seat covers on the front seats and when I removed them the seats are like new. I'm over the moon with it. I'm southside of Brisbane if anyone is local......

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation).
