Hi all.

I'm looking to buy a new bonnet and grille for my 1990 st185. I just bought my baby and am in the process of fixing it up. Its gun metal grey but I guess it would look okay with a black bonnet. Even if you just have the carbon fibre bit for the bonnet or just the grille please get in touch with me. (those are the only damaged parts)

Muchly appreciated.

What carbon fibre bit are you talking about bro??

I think maybe you should take your car to a body kit place, I'm sure you can get them to patch things up for you ;)

Which series bonnet do you have? Series I= Celica emblem and Series II= Toyota emblem on the carbon fibre strip.

Then again you have the peice that extends under the bonnet and flows under the headlamps...

Theres nothing better then originals so hit up roadandtrack.

Cheers for your replies.

The carbon bit on the bonnet reads celica so series 1 i think. Yeah Im looking to find the grille as well coz thats broken. It looks like the previous owner has hit something on the left side of the car. The bonnet is fine, its just the carbon fibre and grille thats crapped itself.

If i can find a new bonnet i'll probs sell the current one.

I payed 1k for mine... As for the zorst get an Aussie Exhaust they are the sh*t from what I've heard/read/been told. It will cost a pretty penny bout 2k but its worth it.

Also why go to a place that will make a 'custom' zorst when theres one that has it off the shelf ready to go?

Also whats so 'custom' about it?

Meh its up to you anyway...

Yep yep. Thats what i need. Ive been to a couple of wreckers and they havent gotten back to me as of yet. As for the aussie exhaust... I had no idea there was a bolt on one out there! I went to Cannington Performance in perth and i was told there was nothing bolt on because the car is so old...which makes sense. But having said that now that I know theres one out there i'll do a bit of reseach on it. Can you tell me if anyone in perth has it in stock or can get it ordered in? If you've got any specs or reviews could you let me know as well??... It would save me loads of time researching..... bloody dial up.

Well If the guys over in the US are going full Aussie Exhaust systems then thats a testament in itself. Look on here alltrac.net and use their search engine as they're pretty full on with their GT4's.

All you need to get from Aussie is the Dump pipe and Front pipe.. These two pieces will cost a little over $1000. These are the important parts where most the tricky bends are! The rest (cat back) of the system can be made at a local exhaust shop for about $500.

Thats what I did with mine.

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
