For anyone interested in whether the Ultra Racing Strut Bar made for 2006+ Toyotas Camrys will fit on the aurions, the answer is yes :D Fitting the unit is very straight forward, just takes a smal

Hmmmmmm, alright no problems. Thanks for the links. I won't be getting the thicker one. It's just that you guys kept mentioning the thicker ones and I couldn't find them! ;)

Yeah the 19mm should pull you up pretty nicely, good choice :)

Cheers. This will be my next short term mod. I first need to study hard.

Well I ended up buying it. Just could not resist. I just hope I made the right decision. I have a fear that it won't live up to the expectations. Just hope it does!

Less body roll will make me happy!

Got a email from the guy, he has received my payment and will be sending it soon.

I was just wondering though, today I bought petrol and then I had 3 passengers in the car. The car felt so sluggish around corners with all that extra weight with almost a full tank of 98 and 3 passengers. Will the new sway bar combat that sluggish feel because its a thicker bar? I can't explain things for crap lol.

As long as you don't expect it to transform into a sports car, then you won't be disappointed.

I wouldn't say it would combat it. It will make it slightly harder to get body roll from the weight transfer, but the bar only has so much torsion. As the weight transfer increases, the bar effectiveness will decrease.

Nah for sure, I'm not putting my expectations that high.

That was a pretty damn good explanation, I fully understand what you mean :). I'm quite happy with how the car performs around corners as it is so I guess the new bar should live up to expectations.

I also need some new rubber soon as well so that should also help with turning as well.

Cheers!!

Very interesting reading overall - this is probably one of the next things on my list, getting the front strut and rear sway. I don't mind a bit of spirited cornering heheh, especially on our cruises!

Seems like the best combo for the Camry would be to stick to the 19mm rear sway then, just looking on the Ultra Racing website now and it's the only choice available anyway. Definitely a price increase though, $218 now for the front strut and $323 for the rear sway, plus $17 postage for each item.

Seeings the thread has been revived could we maybe get a group buy going? Try and get a bit of a discount heheh

You can have my old rear sway bar. I'll get the new one and everyone will see my epic oversteer and then i'll be a member of the Guni 'Oversteer is Bad mmkay?' Club. :P

Okay jokes aside. I am interested in the upgraded rear sway bar. However right now the car seems to have an....okay balance. But I don't drive near as hard as Daryl does, so he might need it more than I would. :P

I'd also be interested in a group buy if we could get it a little cheaper. Be doing both the front and rear :D Quite interesting article about the FWD spin.

Edit: oops, hit the reply button without seeing there was more pages to read :blush:

Cool, well I'm thinking of getting them from Ebay and just waiting for the shipping, amongst other things. I think what confused me is that I'm still not used to seeing it as 2011, and I still think it's 2010, so when I saw your's and Tash's posts in Jan '10 I thought, sweet, there are still people who haven't upgraded and want a group buy.

Mine came from ivy and its definitely genuine.

Well that's a bit odd to say the least!

I guess Luis must feel threatened, definitely after seeing how much he was going to charge me for a strut bar plus postage!

I bought it from dffoo1972 and well if it really is fake it's a damn good fake :lol:

I think that person is just ****** off that they are selling it so cheap and free EXPRESS postage too!

Has anyone bought the 23mm rear sway, and thoughts?? Just trawling back through this thread and others as those Ebay sellers have the rear sway very cheap so am finally getting more serious about getting one to team with my UR front strut :) Although reading over things seems like I'm best to stick with a 19mm bar?

I don't think anyone here has bought one, or at least reported back on their findings. I personally did consider getting it, but I figured that the 19mm one is quite a good balance for me. I reckon going for a 23mm bar would probably make the Aurion little too tail happy and probably end up being less balanced to drive. If I could somehow find an upgraded front sway bar, I reckon a 23mm sway bar would go great.

But that's all talk. I guess you could be the gunniea pig for us...

Yeah it doesn't seem that way and I understand perfectly what you're saying, if I've got the 19mm front strut up front already and add 23mm in the rear its probably not really going to achieve what I want, which is just to stiffen up the rear a little so it "follows through".

If I had an Aurion with a bit more guts I'd probably happily be the guinea pig lol Although I guess in any FWD once you under steer too far you're in trouble.

Bought mine from dffoo1972 and feel the same. If it is fake then it's an A grade fake tongue.gif

Maybe he doesn't like competition and wants a monopoly of the market. Definitely loving the Free shipping :D

I guess I shall be the guinea pig then Tash ;) (I think you meant once you have too much oversteer in a FWD and not aware of it you can find yourself in trouble tongue.gif)

Good to see you're finally taking the plunge and matching that front strut brace with one for the rear Tash! :D

Should help a fair bit. :P

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
