Toyota TRD Aurion 3500SL

[SecaBoy]

okay, so i got my first pay check since start of January this year... and what was the first thing i did?

i finally bought the Ultra Racing Front Strut Brace and Rear Sway Bar...

i cant help it... i need to be stopped!!

meanwhile, any of the brissie boys have a hydraulic jack and axle stands?

mine seemed to have disappeared in the last "clean out" my parents did of the garage... :(

they either threw them out, or i lent them to a mate and cant remember who... second set of jack/stands that this has happened to.. :(

so anyway... if someone can help me out, that'd be awesome! :D

I'd be glad to help out. Won't be until next weekend though (17th or 18th) due to work commitments. Otherwise the evenings during the week would work.

[SecaBoy]

thanks for the offer daryl.. i'll txt ya when they actually arrive...

i bought them today, so probably wont arrive till next week... then i'm gone until first week of jan...

so i'll prolly happen in the new year...

if not, i'll let you know... :)

thanks again... :)

nice car

[SecaBoy]

so during my lunch break today, i went to toyota to "price up" a set of TRD rims to replace my ones that were stolen from a mates house...

pretty much exactly what i was expecting... $526 per rim...

so a grand total of $2104 for a set of original TRD rims with NO TYRES... :(

seems hardly worth it, imo, when i can get a set of buddy club pII rims for $1300 with no tyres...

[ELEGNT]

yeh thats a scam. get the buddyclubs mate do it

[SecaBoy]

well, i finally bit the bullet and bought the buddy clubs...

they are 19" x 9" with an offset of +45... they should hopefully fit.. *fingers crossed*

oh and they're gun metal grey in colour...

although, now that ive actually bought the rims though, im not too sure they're gonna suit the car...

if anyone is bored and wants to do a photoshop, feel free... :D

here are the rims:

[SecaBoy]

well, i was bored myself, so i gave it a really quick chop... pretty sh!t, but meh, get over it...

[1stKill]

Hurry up and get em on :P ....man they are HAWT,i was thinking of the same wheels if only i was allowed to change em,but the missus has that NO YOU DON'T LOOK whenever i mention it,so have to keep working on her.

p.s Really nice choice man. :)

[SecaBoy]

cheers man... im in NZ right now, so i'm getting them delivered to a mates place... then when i get back, i'll go on the hunt for tyres... :)

meanwhile, the more i look at that sh!tty chop i did, the more i like the look of them... :D

[ELEGNT]

dude they look fukin amazing!!!!

[SecaBoy]

just realised today that the rims wont be shipped until at least the 11th due to the shop being on holidays... sooooo disappointed!!!

i reaaallllllyyyyyyyyy want them on...

ah well... "happy" holidays my A$$....

[SecaBoy]

my new rims arrived... WWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! :D

getting a few quotes today on tyres... gonna stick with the pirelli pzero nero's... they're wearing pretty well and have awesome traction... very happy with them... :)

[DJKOR]

OMG! You're making me super happy in my pants.... and that just from looking one of them in the box.

[SecaBoy]

hahaha... i dont want any stains on them tonight daryl!!! hehe

got a quote on some pirelli pzero nero 245/35R19s... $273...

not bad... considering i bought the 245/35R20s for $500 each on special... :)

put. on. car. now

want. see. tonite.

*drool*

[SecaBoy]

lol if i put them on now, i'll **** the rims up cause there are no tyres on them...

hopefully get them put on in a week or so... need to get paid first...

cnuts at work havent paid me for the week before christmas yet... :(

once i get that money, i'll get the new tyres and i'll chuck them on the car... might even paint my brake rotors while i have the rims off the car... :D

[DJKOR]

With the price of the tires that you got quoted for, it makes me reconsider changing my wheels. Those rims look hotter the more I look at them. Can't wait to see them fitted.

... might even paint my brake rotors while i have the rims off the car... :D

I know what you meant, but painting the rotors would sure be an interesting sight :P

[SecaBoy]

soooooooo, i just checked my account and i have been paid...

so im buying the tyres right now... :D

hopefully by next week it'll be on the car... :D :D :D

hehehe, tempting isnt it daryl... but the kappas do look awesome man... they really suit the car well without it making the car stand out and scream for attention!! plus they're toyota rims... genuine is always the best! :D

but then on the other hand, you need bigger rims... :P hahaha

hahahaha, yeah i know... its not the right word for it, but i cant think of what that section that bolts on to the hub is called...

speaking of which... what kinda of sand paper do i need to buy?

and how long does the high temp paint take to dry on those things... cause i'll have to change the rims one at a time cause i dont have axle stands... so it'll take a while i think...

Holt Crap Batman $273 for tyres !!!! Where??

[SecaBoy]

its from my special happy secret place...

nah, its from a place called St George Tyres in Sydney...

my mate's bought all his tyres from them and has never had an issue...

http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au

i bought mine off ebay cause they happened to have what i wanted listed on there. but they sell all sorts of tyres/wheels, so just email/phone them and ask for what you want...

[KevO]

Holy rims Batman!

Nice choice on the II-Plus, how much were they?

[ELEGNT]

fuk dude they look great, thought they wherent coming till after the 11th

do they make these in 17s or 18s

[SecaBoy]

thats why i was told by the company...

and then i got a call from my mate saying "ahhh, your rims arrived today."... haha

im sure they would make them in 17s or 18s...

check out 999 automotive (where i bought mine from)... or give them a call and ask...

from what i understand, they're a discontinued model from buddy club... so 999 are selling them for cheap... i could be wrong, but i think thats right... :)

oh, and get your tyres from that site i posted above... sooooooooo cheap!! :D

[-DAvo]

wow those are some awsome looking wheels!!! cant wait to see pics dude!!
