Installed this a few days ago. I got the activated carbon option which costs about $43.50 because I opted for pickup since he was located in Melbourne. Prepare to pay roughly $7.50 more if you getting it delivered.

Don't seem to get much crap coming out from the air-con vents anymore if I don't recirculate the air. Use to always be able to smell the exhaust fumes from the car in front. Worse if its LPG.

That's my experience. Thought I share it. Browse his website for more information.

I wish the Aurion filter was offered in an activated carbon design. The filter is good at preventing dirt entering the car, but if I end up stuck behind a diesel truck or ute, I end up with the fumes though the vents. I always leave my fresh air on when the A/C is off as it gives the A/C a good airing.

...Worse if its LPG.

I guess I'm quite weird then. I actually like the smell of the exhaust from LPG vehicles. Something about it that just smells good. Not that I enjoy sniffing exhaust fumes; just that I don't mind LPG exhaust.

Same here.

Smells of rotten eggs. Absolutely hate it!

Activated Carbon? That’s some hardcore stuff, very effective in Nitrogen removal in solubles.. Not sure how it attaches to air born particles. What ever gets the job I guess!

Remove your glovebox and you'll see a panel on the heater fan box that you can remove... It's a one inch high, 6 inch long panel that unclips and the filter is behind that...

ok i went to check if my car had a dirty filter, and i pulled out the tray that Rolla Boy was talking about (a1 inch high, 6" wide clip draw), and there was no filter! wtf?

anyways, to people that have purchased the carbon activated one, how is the progress going?

wondering if i should bother and just get the normal one

Having just trail the activated carbon one, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a pain in the **** and won't mind saving spending a few extra bucks to have a filter that kills/filter sh!t that you can't see, bla bla bla bla bla

These items are consumeables and the recommended changing cycle is a year or 15,000KM depending on the enviroment you are driving your car in. Dirtier/dustier driving enviroment means more polutants so I won't be spending that much if I was me :)

Reason i mentioned the above is because i can still smell cr@p from the car in front and others...... so what's the point? Get a simple one or just do a DIY !!!!

Toyota also has a tendency of creating the posibility of adding an option hence the tray there but no filter. Realise the same thing as well when I was doing the JDM tailight mod. There was a 5W/21W imprinted there with a hole stenciled ready to be cut. So go figure.

Most of the ZZE Corolla's never came with one from new, as they were never fitted with the air con kits...

Not sure how or why but that was just the way it was...

      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.
