Hi there,

In the market for KX-S kluger. Just wondering what colours are popular out there. I've ruled out black as that was the colour of my LX Captiva (which I've sold and now targeting a kluger, hope it's the right choice)

The mrs is leaning towards Glacier but I'm inclined to Tidal Blue.

Thanks

Black is a mongrel to keep clean and shows every tiny little washing scratch. Great colour, but never again!

My silver WRX hides a multitude of sins if I don't have a chance to wash it for a while.

Ebony is the most popular colour in my area. I had an ebony for a 3 day test drive and found it looked filthy without driving in the rain or offroad.

I bought a graphite instead, as has someone else in my street. It looked relatively clean for a decent amount of time without washing. I am getting a replacement graphite, so it must have been OK.

I also have a silver pearl which looks really good and hides the dirt better than the graphite.

I didn't really like the blues and especially the tidal blue after the incident with an ex-eagle last year.

We have a Graphite, and seen a few around so its a pretty popular colour.

*** Maybe we can start a new thread/survey to see what colours everyone has there ???

Just need everyone to use a picture of their car as their avatar.

I still need to update mine to show how the Grande looked after the roll or the new KX-R.

Our order of preference was Graphite then Crystal Pearl... until SWMBO saw a Merlot Red one on the showroom floor, and that was it :rolleyes:

I get my merlot Kluger on Friday (just getting out of a Presara, another baby due!), I think it looks great with the alloys and dark tint.

How was the Captiva experience shecskter?

I have Graphite. My dealer when I ordered said graphite was the most popular colour but who knows. I have seen a few around but also silver, blue and black. I've seen more Klugers this month than ever before.

We got the Ebony(black). We know its hard to keep clean, gives me a reason to wash it twice a week(with recycled water)

Looks fantastic!

Had the LX Captiva for 1 year. My wife calls it the "CRAPtiva", does that answer your question? :)

Kidding aside, I thought it was good value for money. The only problem with it and the main reason why we sold it was because it was emitting a sulphur-like odour (rotten egg). Holden knew about this defect but just didn't know how to fix it. Apart from this, it was okay. Engine also felt sluggish and uninspiring.

But my wife & I believe that the 3rd row seats are far better than the Kluger or Territory or Outlander. Captiva 3rd row seats are split folding.

Rotten egg smell comes from your catalytic converter not working. All they really should have done is replace this. Thats what i have been told is the cause of the smell(had it in a commodore years ago). Happens to all types of cars.

Yes, crystal pearl for me! Although as it was the only demo model, we had little choice.

Up here the white keeps the car a little cooler, and the resale value is better. (As if we'd want to sell it!)

As an aside, in the USA the white is called Blizzard Pearl. I wonder if this is the same a Crystal Pearl.

I think blizzard white is the same as Crystal pearl, to confirm it is we have to see the paint code.

Here is a list of Australian and US equivalent paint codes:

Crystal Pearl 070 Blizzard Pearl

Silver Pearl 1F7 Classic Silver Metallic

Graphite 1G3 Magnetic Gray Metallic

Ebony 202 Black

Merlot Red 3Q3 Salsa Red Pearl

Sandstone 4t8 Sandy Beach Metallic

Sage 6T7 Cypress Pearl

Glacier 8S7 Wave Line Pearl

Tidal Blue 8T7 Blue Streak Metallic

May come in handy when buying colour matched accessories from USA.

holmesie, GLAD TO SEE. saw your other pic, it looks very diferent now. I washed mine this morning, travels to parents, and it looks the same as prior to washing now(been having light showers all day, just enough to get the dirt wet on the roads, not enough to wash it off the road!

Oh well, did you get a tow bar too?

Yeah got the factory towbar, but won't be towing anything until it's got 1,000k's or so on the clock - shouldn't take long the way we rack them up :rolleyes:

Those matched paint-codes will definitely come in handy, thanks PaulG :)

we have been pretty slow as iu have been working full time with no days off as yet, so only up to 871ks at the moment, should schedulethe 1000checkup next wk. Did your towbar come with 2 x D shackles? Mine didnt and the previous commodore did...

No D-shackles, but I use load rated ones anyway and the ones that come free with most towbars mostly aren't rated

      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.
