Hey Guys,

I'm only new but thought i would post up my car! I work for a Toyota Dealership so i picked her up for a decent price and took delivery on Friday 16/01 :) I have been a fan of the aurions and now have my own to play around with.

Its stock at the moment but future mods include: A set of nice 20" rims, im going to go for a black rim with the chrome lip, king springs to lower it a little but further down the track i would like a set of tein coilovers, darker tint, personalised plates. Stereo wise i would like either alpine or pioneer, in dash screen with sat nav, roof mount, replace speakers, and a single sub, amp under the seat. Later on i would like to look at ghost airbrushing, and play around with a couple of performance mods.

I don't know much about performace mods on the aurions having just come from a skyline where there is alot of info available so your input would be great :)

Thanks, Carly!

Welcome!

Where abouts are you from? EDIT: just saw in NOOB thread your from Brisvegas - made sure you head along to some Thurs night meets they plan.

Yet another Toyota dealership employee with an Aurion, and female too.

Planned mods sound spot on, there isn't much in terms of performance mods at the moment (aside from engine swap with a TRD :D) but we are working on it....hardest part so far is the ECU. Once we crack that & look at tuning we can do other things, like turbo etc..

Black Aurions are sexy, but get those badges off ASAP cos they look hideous.

Sounds like there must be a few Toyota employees that drive aurions?

I am from brisbane and work for motorama toyota.

Not looking at a engine conversion as superchargers have never really interested me, however since you mention turbo get cracking on that ECU! Aww come on, i like my badges :P

There's one girl in WA who works for them, pretty sure she got an Aurion & has/had a R33. Either Nellie or Bondie....I get mixed up.

Aww come on, i like my badges :P

They stand out too much on a black car, and the Aurion badges are too plasticy looking.

Make sure you add your details to STATISTICS OF AURION DRIVERS thread

Next time the detailers come around to wash it i will get the badges removed. I do like A U R I O N written down the doors but the rear will be debadged.

Also i love what you have done with the headlights, i have already printed the DIY instructions so wish me luck :)

Just looking at some options, has anyone on the forum changed the front and rear bumpers to the TRD aurion. I don't want to pretend my car is something its not but i do think it looks aggressive.

Also apg39 you mentioned meets on a thursday night?

Good Luck! Glad someone else is game enough to do it. Dont burn it like I did, I've picked up a spare for cheap to repair once I move into my own house. Would look mean on a black car.

We've been searching for TRD replica bumpers for a while now, Thailand has some but were not sure of quality & perfect fitting etc. (Aurion is sold as the Camry in some Asian countries) I actually bought a Genuine silver TRD front bumper but long story short - seller is a ****wit and I got all my money back. Check back through the posts to see the other bumper updates we've had.

Its not about pretending to be a TRD, its just the TRD bumper is the sh!t. Wish it came on Sportivo as well.

Also apg39 you mentioned meets on a thursday night?

DJKOR should step in right about now, Im in WA but know they have Thurs meets every now & again...

Haha..Believe it or not...I've acquired some of ur planned mods and ur future mods are basically the same as mine... :lol:

Set of 20s Black with chrome Lip, Lowered, darker tint, Sat nav and Moon Roof..lol.

Future mods include stereos, body kits, and CAIs... O yea, Rear cameras would also be good.. xD

Interested in a set of Eye lids? Still waitin for the supplier to reply with their quotes and there are already few couples eager for the reply as well..

Talkin about TRD, there are 2 supppliers mentioned so far that goes around the forum.. 1 from singapore and the other from Thailand..

Well they say great minds think alike :) Very nice set of mods and it will great to see it built up over time. I have found im limited to the wheel choice with 20" and i am taking the car in on saturday to a few places to see what they can fit on it.

I am keen on eye lids, was actually thinkin about it on my way home. Please once you get the quote let me know and im in :)

I ended up finding a thread with some suppliers for the TRD kit, as someone mentioned i would like to see the quality of the kit. Bad experience buying a kit for the camry :(

Welcome :D :D :D what ideas do you have for the ghost airbrushing?

I haven't had a chance to think that far ahead. It would be one of the last things done to the car and with my time line im hoping to have it compleate within the next 15 months. Long time i know. I really like those chinese dragons but don't know if it would suit. I am going to have to do some research because its a big decision. I am lookin at getting a screen installed and looking at getting something painted on the surround so its not so dull and i'll stick with that theme for airbrusing.

DJKOR should step in right about now, Im in WA but know they have Thurs meets every now & again...

Damn. I'm at work from 2:30pm-7:30pm and I miss out on all the action. Firstly welcome 'sportivo chick', I'm Daryl, or DJKOR as I'm known around here. I'm always here (together with everyone else) to help with any questions or issues you may have. I'm fairly addicted to this forum and is about the only thing I use my computer for. Don't forget to introduce yourself in the 'Statistics of Aurion drivers' thread.

It would be great to see you out at the weekly meets. Check out the thread 'Brisbane Meetup (Every Thursday 9pm)'.

Screw it we all have similer ideas so group buys for everything :P

We only have similar ideas because there is not much available in the aftermarket for these cars. No one is willing to put the money down yet to go really custom as well. I'm still working on ideas to keep my different from the rest.

      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.

      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.

      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.
