Very nice purchase you've got there. Should be a nice comfortable ride as well.

I'm pretty sure SecaBoy said the same thing. LOL. But yeah, just do minor things like LED's and HID's. Though usually once you get the ball rolling, you will find it harder to stop.

Congrats mate!

You've got a nice colour one too.

Well...yeah.. I promised myself to put ONLY HIDs, wheels and tyres when I got my Aurion but....

Now I wanna upgrade the suspension with coilovers and exhaust. SIGH.....

Also the Mesh grill wasn't on my plan but I found a guy selling one and just bought it straight away once I saw it(I was the early one to put the grill on tho).

All I can say is good luck.

but for me..I just can't stop if I see something new. LOL

Congrats on the purchase. Boss' missus has a Presara with all the gadgets and it's a very nice ride.

'Bad car salesmen', sounds like the start of a new thread. I walked into one Gold Coast dealership on behalf of my boss (who resides in Melbourne) with the intentions of taking a ZR6 or equivelent for a test drive. No one even greeted me or asked if i would like some help even though they knew i was looking through a few cars. Just as i was about to leave, a guy came out so i passed on my details and left and went direct to the other dealership on the Gold Coast. I was greeted straight away and were not pushy and they got my companies business which included with the ZR6 were 3 HiLux Workmates and 2 Turbo Deisel SR5's with optional bullbars and canopies etc. The other dealer rang back a week later, i kindly mentioned what they had missed out on ($210K+ worth of vehicles, with more to come in the future) and that's when all the questions started i.e. how much did he give you the SR5's for etc, 'oh what a feeling'

It is a little wider than some... i travel through a road with those zigzag traffic islands down it every day which makes it really noticeable how wide the car is. I normally don't even have to turn to go through one of the traffic islands with most cars, but with the Aurion i have to turn just a little bit or I go straight over the edge of them!

I think it's by about maybe 20 or 30cm wider though - so not *that* much wider...

      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.
