Hi all,

I've been looking for a Aurion Sportivo for some time now, and recently one came up that fit my description (I wanted a sunroof, which is an optional feature on the SX6) However the colour was not one I particularly liked, Its a lime green colour.

What does everyone think of this colour? And does anybody know why they no longer produce this colour, instead its inferno orange. Was the green colour unpopular?

Thanks

They no longer produce the ZR6 or SX6 in Wildfire Red either!!I think this may be because they sell it on the TRD Aurion (it was stopped around the time of the release of the TRD). That new inferno colour is *****!!!So is the new dark grey colour - it's *****!!! (They were the replacement colours)

I like green, and it still puzzles me why they discontinued it. I've seen plenty in that colour on the road!

black, silver or white..

green may be good looking at first sight, but after a while, may start disliking the colour.. IMO.

IMO the green looks $hithouse, no offence to anyone that owns it, but a darker metallic green would have been far more attratctive than that. It honestly looks like the government cars (camrys) we had here in QLD in the late '80s.

you're not knocking the SV21 are you? That car was the bomb (lol; no jokes about it being a bomb). I drove one for 4 years before I got my Aurion. It had been in the family since 1991 and was an ex-government car as well. Never skipped a beat. I still miss it in a way.

Did you mean Inferno or Wildfire? I'll take the benefit of the doubt and say you meant Wildfire. Why... because that colour rocks. LOL.

I don't personally hate the green Aurion. Green is my favourite colour, but more specifically in the racing green variety. The good thing about the green Aurion like you said, is that there aren't many other cars of the same colour and therefore it stands out. It's like a yellow car... they are more noticeable out in the crowd. Each to their own on personal colour preferences.

Hehehe. It's a nice colour isn't it? Not being biased or anything, LOL. Anyways, they still produce the Wildfire Mica, just only for the AT-X and Prodigy grades. I don't know why they went along with that decision. Usually all the Wildfire ones I see are the AT-X. I don't see all that many Wildfire Sportivos around Brisbane. If I do, it's usually a cop car.

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
