Hey all,

well my licence is back in under 3 weeks and i want to get a few things done to my the aurion.

Exhaust - i hear pipeworx @ macgregor (Brisbane) does a system for the aurion.. anyone had this done? what price you pay and does it sound good?

Suspension: What springs, who did the installation. A friend has a set of Super Lows for an aurion which he said he'd sell me for $150. but i'd need someone to install em.

There was a thread on here about Chrome grills. am looking @ getting one. also saw some people where buying 2 @ a time to save on delivery costs if someone wants to do that aswell. (live in brisbane)

Foglights: I am not liking the black inserts where foglights should be (its an atx) How much does toyota charge to get a set installed or is there another company that would do it?

Thanks,

Nic

hey mate...

in terms of the exhaust, yes, pipeworx is where we all got ours done at...

if you're willing to wait a few weeks, my axle back exhaust that they did is coming off my car, and you can have it for $100... its only been on the car for a few months...

i believe i paid roughly $300 for it...

also, i'm looking at buying some strut braces and sway bars for my car soon, so if you're interested in doing a small group buy to save on postage, let me know... :)

Secaboy - strut bars and swar bars - i'd be interested pending time + price.

eSexSix - yeah i'll grab the details of you - he in aus?

if suspension is $175 new then i'll just go new and get exhaust and suspension done @ same time.

Get everything? had some mad body roll last time i went on a proper drive, would love to fix that.

no time frame on them. just need a notice pending how much they cost to get the cash together

Will get exhaust and suspension done the day after my licence is back.

Will be purchasing some wheels - looking @ some 19" BBoss Eleanors.

Anyone know anything about the fog lamps?

Elgin and I are thinking of placing an order with Ultra Racing in February. You can join in on the group buy then if you can wait. You would be looking at the following prices approximately (prior to group buy discount):

Front strut bar - $218

Front 4-point brace - $248

Rear sway bar - $323

Anyone know anything about the fog lamps?

I would suggest getting a set from eBay since Toyota will rip you off big time.

Ironically I'm actually heading back to Pipewerx to...wait for it....quieten down my ride!!

Yes, the wife has finally threw in the towel and said the droning is making her nuts. So I have to revert back to the stock ones or risk having to drive her 1998 Lancer wagon to work every day. Driving that car after the TRD really makes me want to cry. I have to turn off the aircon to accelerate. :(

So I recommend if you want to do something really noisy always have the ability to quieten it, either with Varex or a cut-out solution like DJKOR. Unfortunately Varex doesn't fit on the TRDs so it's not an option for me. The only consolation is the fact that changing the mufflers did nothing for performance, only a slight positive effect on fuel mileage. So hopefully I won't lose any precious kilowatts by going back to stock.

And as for the Ultra Racing bars, yes definetely worth getting!! (I'm Elgin btw) It's a cheap way to improve the body roll. I was so happy with the front strut brace that I immediately decided to get the front lower bar and the rear sway bar too. We got the front strut bars for $207 each (2 of us bought together), so with more people I'm sure there's savings to be made.

I got my fog ligts, that came with black bezel foglight chrome piece around the light and all the wiring and interior swich for 100 bucks. There is a guy that sells them in sydney, gets them from Asia im pretty sure. No modification needed, goes straight on to my atx, now looks exactly like the presara ones. His name is nick wang, he tried to sell them on here once but he got banned. You can find him on ebay sometimes, he really good, real nice guy. He can also get orginal asian camry "aurion" parts from overseas. Can also get bodykits, but they are the ones that we already know about, the lipkits and wald kits.

For anyone who is interested. I spoke to varex, and they can make custom made varex exhausts. The guys from varex exhause basically told me any size i want. But after all my mucking around, i just couldnt be bothered now. The aurion creates more of a drone than a roar. Not the sound im looking more. But if anyone is interested, just give them a call.

Hey your also on cruising brisbane right? Good topic in regards to mods, i was wondering about all this myself and was about to start research.

Would also be keen on any group buys as most things mentioned are on my to do list.

With the fog lights i'll speak to our spare parts and see how much i can get them for if you like?

Sorry mate he didnt, i was talking to him about the dimensions of all his varex, and told me if it doesnt work out, give them a ring and they can customise something varex for me. I couldnt imagine it being that much more. As they have ****loads of other non varex exhausts there that they could customise easily.

Well it's about time to revive this thread that has gone a little quiet. Since this is where all the discussion was starting, I may as well continue it here.

It may not be late February anymore but regardless, the time has come for me to purchase a front strut bar and rear sway bar. If anyone in Brisbane wants to order anything from Ultra Racing with me, just let me know. I will end up getting it regardless of discount or not (I'm not fussed), but I am just letting you guys know so that if you were planning on getting something, you may save a little money. Shipping can easily be divided as I am able to deliver around the Brisbane area.

You would be looking at the following prices approximately (prior to group buy discount):

Front strut bar - $218

Front 4-point brace - $248

Rear sway bar - $323

As a side question, I'm looking at swapping out mufflers in the tivo with the cash so graciously granted to me by K Rudd - I'm a little hesitant at this stage as I'm not sure how it will affect noise/legality.

Has anyone got any sound clips of a post muffler upgrade vehicle? Also - does any one know of a reputable mob that can get this upgrade done for me in Sydney?

Maybe it's time to resurrect the thread that goppy tried to get going. It didn't seem to take off very well:

I may be interested in a RSB, but Im in Albany so what I save will be charged in extra to get it here.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
