Hey guys just got me a Aurion, thought i would join your forum. Havent done much to it yet, tinted the windows and put some 20's on it, will have to lower and put a sports exhaust on, next. Also chasing a custom billet grill from America, (lets you know how i go with that one) Yeah I Wanted a model without the jazz of the sports kit or spoiler. When i investigated the different models, i pretty much had two choices, the model at the top end and the model at the bottom end. There was the prodigy but i would have to rip the rear spoiler off and fill in the holes. So to give me some room to move with the additional extra's im looking at, i had to go the bottom end. Still happy with my choice though. Im going for more of a sleek look, as i have dabbled in about 5 cars in the last 9 months. Everything from a Explorer with 24" wheels to a 1971 convertible with a worked 318. But so far im happy with the Aurion, its a nice ride. Ive only got one photo so far, camera went dead, put some more on in a couple of days.

Cheers

Bondie.

Sweet as, thanks dude. That sounds awesome. Im getting my beast lowered this saturday, then exhaust job hopefully within the next couple of weeks. But the Varex exhaust sounds on the money.

man, those wheels are hot hot hot!!!

what brand/model are they and how much?

Thanks mate, yeah when i was looking for the wheels i was thinking along the lines of a more sleek look. My last vehicle when i was in townsville had 24" chrome on a black explorer and it looked real hot. actually i have had mostly - chromies on all my vehicles, and even though chrome looks good, I dont think the bling bling look would have suited this vehicle.

The wheels brand is Koya / Inox Range / style is Vizzo

Sizes availale: 19 x 8.5

19 x 9.5 (my size)

20 x 8.5

20 x 10 (deeper dish but wouldnt fit the Aurion unless did some body work on guards)

Tyres: Toyo, 245/35/20 (went for Toyo, even though they are a medium range brand, they are a little bit softer which equals a smoother ride).

Website: www.koya.com.au (I went down to Acaica ridge and looked at the wheel in person at their warehouse, as no one had it in their window stock. this option is available.)

Cost: $2900.00 with tyres / $1700.00 without tyres at Keith 4 Wheels Springwood, includes balance and wheel alignment. - or - $2600.00 at Spin City tyres, ( i think spin city are in Sydney though, plus add $100.00 for delivery and im unsure what type of tyres you would get. ) But for ease of convience i went local, just incase any problems raised their dirty heads.

This is the cheapest in brissy, with this range of tyre, i hunted about 8 quotes from brisbane dealers and for this Rim and tyre package, Keith was the cheapest.

The Rim Koya Inox Vizzo, is a structured from the Brand design Forgiato Vizzo. If you are looking for some hot rims, 3 piece, built with quality, and have $5000.00 to burn (includes tyres), Forgiato range of wheels, i think are the best out there. Have a look at this site when you get time, www.forgiato.com, and go to galley. You will see some hot rims on some hot cars.

And if you wanted to purchase these Forgiato rims, jackbakertyres and tempetyres can get them in.

The picture of the rim is Koya Brand (20 x 10), and the picture of the Merc is the Forgiato brand.

Well dude i hope this helps, better get back to work before the boss has my nuts.

Cheers

Wheels look very nice, good choice!

When I first saw them they kind of reminded me of a particular wheel the company I work for sell (see below).

Cheers Sanz, I was looking at some of the ANZ versions, and your right, they have some sweet stock available. Its always time consuming and a hard choice when picking wheels, when there are so many various designs available these days. But its all worth it in the end.

Cheers.

tight ride!! lower it more :P:P.. will look better! :P.. hows the comfy like?? with 20" and is it lowered??

Cheers dude. The "comfy" with the 20" is good. When looking for tyres, I was looking for a more softer tyre. Even though the tyre might not last as long as some, its definately worth it. You should have seen my 24" on my old explorer, holy **** that was a rough ride (sacafriced looks for comfort there). But yeah if you pick a good tyre you wont know much of a difference. On my XR6 ute i had Nankangs on my 20", and even though people keep telling me they have come a long way from what they used to be, as a personal choice i dont lrate them. They handle good around corners, but rough as guts, make road pebbles feel like bouders.

Dude i get my suspension done tommorrow, ill let ya know if there is any major differnce in the ride afterwards. They will drop it about 50mm, so I hope for apperance sakes, i dont sacafrice the comfortability of the ride again. Fingers crossed.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      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.
