I was reading about how the sportivos have more rear bracing, but what exactly does this mean? Anybody got any pics? I was thinking if there was any way of improving the handling a touch. I liked my touring for its smooth ride, and I dont want to compromise it too much.

Or am I asking for too much? lol

All Aurion's have the rear bracing behind the seat. It was briefly talked about here, but I'll attach another diagram to show the bracing behind the seat. It may depict a Sportivo, but all Aurion's are the same:

After changing your tires for something a bit more grippy, if you want to improve handing, you can look into an UltraRacing Front Strut Bar, 4 point Front Brace, and Rear Sway Bar Upgrade

Those may say it's for a Camry (and even shows the 2.4L model), but it is a direct fit with the Aurion. Those may help stiffen things up a bit, but if you really want to improve everything, you will need to look into changing your suspension as well.

less body roll defitnely helped my turnin!! i can actually speed up in a turn wifout my car slamming me towards my door :P

Thanks guys. I just spend a lot of time reading around and seeing what others are doing. I can only research for now while I'm still on a student budget. I like to know the ins and outs of my car as well. I am a very hands on person. Anyways, there was one more thing I was going to mention in regards to extra body stiffening; a floor bar. This one would only be for those really serious about doing what they can. These are pictures from an 07 Camry (it should be mounted more further back):

And this is what it looks like in a Subaru. Notice how it is mounted further back:

If one was considering this for the Aurion, I reckon that if it were all the way back as far as possible, it shouldn't be an issue for anyone sitting in the back. If you sit in the rear of the Aurion, you will notice that there is quite a bit of leg room. You could easily sit with your feet forward slightly to avoid the bar.

lol I think that is going a bit too far, but I like those sway bars. I am think maybe some new suspension next year. Something a little more stiffer but without compromising the ride comfort by too much.

I was thinking about buying all three. Got quoted 577 delivered. But I dont know what difference the lower front bar would make after one got the front sway bar.

Ok I have done some research and it seems that we probably wont need the strut bracing as thats really only needed for lots of track work. I also read that for FF cars like the aurion, its best to have a heavier setup at the rear than the front. So I am gonna ask for a quote for just the front and rear sway bars.

True dat... check this:

TIP NO.7 - FRONTAL ASSAULT

Front wheel drive cars have their own idiosyncrasies, not the least of which is that they tend to understeer. The big fix here, is to install a castor kit and to increase the thickness of the rear sway bar.

Yea, thats why I am hoping we just need those two bars.

I was taking a look at the engine bay, and I was wondering if you had any trouble mounting it with the air box thingy in the way. You got pics?

      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.
