The TRD one was has been there for quite some time. I last saw it up on Gray's about a month ago. There is probably a reason why it isn't selling. I was going to check it out when I first saw it, but couldn't be bothered.

:o Aw man thats sooo tempting.

I've got a new job paying 2x as much so I can afford to sell my sx6 and upgrade.....

Gotta be a reason for not selling though. All I can see is scratches, unregistered, no warranty. I'd say it was flogged by highway patrol.

I wish they had Aurion Police Cars is NSW. I would love to see them on the Roads.

Surprisingly, whenever I see an Aurion around here with cop trim on it, I can't help but stare at it because it is still such a hot looking car. :lol:

It comes directly from a cop and was backed up by the assistant commissioner of the Gold coast police. I don't know specifics (when, were and how many) but i do know a report was lodged and back stating that the cars had to much tourque steer to be used by police and even though cops loved the cars they decided it would be safer to go to SS or alike. In saying that they will be staggering the change over so don't jump yet. I'll make a few calls over the couple th week and see if i can get any more info.

I drive a VE SS for work

Ultimately id agree that its a faster point to point car then the TRD

the TRD will beat it in a straight line with a rolling start

not by much though

TRD has a smoother power delivery, the auto box is sometimes a bit reluctant to drop gear though

still a better box then the VE though

Both quite fast cars but the SS definately makes a better police chase car

p.s the ss seats are uncomfortable as hell :P

the majority of cops who drive those pursuit cars are morons anyway. the only type of people who complain about the torque steer are the idiots that plant their foot around corners or in the wet. it's funny how many people don't know how to handle a powerful fwd.

Agreed :clap: I was just gobsmacked when he told me about it but as you said if you don't drive a FWD and have half an idea how to accelerate and take corners you won't have any problems... :help:

I agree, the TRD Aurion is not a really a car that you can floor and expect it to go well. Everytime I do that I get a lot of tram-lining and axle tramp. It simply isn't designed for it. Personally I am a reasonably big (FAT) guy so the torque steer is not much of an issue for me. I find the best results when I don't floor the accelerator. Once it has a rolling start, the car is very fast. For a FWD, it corners quite well but don't expect Evo or WRX-style grippiness. The best thing is to bring it to an open road and learn the capabilities and limitation of the machine before trying anything ambitious.

so i dont really agree with you on that point...

but i do agree with your other points...:)

I think in times of economic uncertainty, it's going to be hard to sell a high performance car when most people are more concerned about keeping money in the bank and just having a "point A to point B" car. I can forsee some hard times ahead for some dealerships, especially since some financial instituitions are starting to withdraw support for car loans.

      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.
