Hey guys, just wondering if there's any interest in a Toyota-only cruise sometime early in the new year? I'm on quite a few different Toyota-specific forums (rollaclub, TOCAU, ASC, etc) and looking to see some cross-forum promotion. At the moment, I'd be leaning towards doing the cruise for charity, maybe a $10 donation - BBQ lunch will be provided somewhere along the way. At the moment we'd be leaving from Southside, then travelling north, past Australia Zoo and up to Montville (for epic fudge and BBQ). After that, back to Caboolture Macca's and then home.

Of course rules will apply, anybody acting like a ***** will be reported to police, etc so don't think this is an excuse to drive like a maniac and get away with it.

At the moment, I'd be looking at running four groups of ten cars including a group leader. The groups are: dailies (I'll lead), modern (DJKOR from here may lead), classic (JiP_001 from rollaclub can lead) and modifieds (possibly MR2Mark from Boostcruising will lead). If you're genuinely interested, you need to post your name, car and what group you'd like to be in. The charity I've chosen is RSPCA, so all the money collected on the day will go to them, extra donations are welcome :)

As I said to somebody in a PM, as soon as Xmas is out of the way, I'll get right in to organising things completely. I'm also looking for anybody who has ways to get stuff like drinks/meats/salads cheap/donated to us and I might organise a "Cruisers Favourite Car" prize. I'm hoping to hit up a few of the local Toyota dealers on the weekend and see if they can donate anything to have for prizes.

For those tl;dr's:

*Toyota-only cruise, $10 donation (going to RSPCA)

*8th of February

*Leaving from southside (around Springwood), heading up the Gateway, stopping at Caboolture McDonalds, then heading past Australia Zoo to Montville. BBQ provided.

*Four groups of ten (possibly 15) cars, groups broken down into modern, classic and modifieds. Each group has a leader, who will be driving an appropriate car for their group.

*Maybe a prize for the favourite car of the day (from votes).

Need somebody to try and help get donations (meats, drinks, etc) for the day.

*You need to post your interest, as soon as everything is confirmed I will need more details (name, rego, car type, mobile, etc).

EDIT: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION -MUST- BE EMAILED/PM'd to me before the 20th if you wish to be on the list.

Name:

Car:

Rego:

Group:

Email Address:

Mobile Number:

I'm only going to have a copy of this so I can keep track of who's turned up or not, and if anybody does something stupid during the cruise.

Not a definite as such yet, but definitely on the books. She drives a ST184 Celica, so nothing too flash.

The first post has been edited again, the bit at the bottom is what's really important now.

We adopted our dog from the RSCPA, so she'll be coming along as well.

A week or so beforehand I'll email around with a list of the different groups, who's the leader of each and details of their car, numbers to call, routes, etc. Don't fret :)

As for the prizes, it's getting a bit more organised. I've bought one lot already (not telling what it is yet, but I hope you all like TRD :)), and hopefully another will be sponsored by my old work. Another member has said if he comes, he will donate a brand new catch can which I'll add into one of the prizes.

i dont know anyone who has a rolla.

so yeah count me in

Read the first post, send details on through.

The nice people (and I mean this - Phil, Craig and Darlene are some of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of working for) at Autobarn Logan City have kindly offered to organise a gift bucket as a prize. I can't recommend these guys enough; their product range, customer service and installers are some of the best in the business.

      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.
