How's the ride? Firm or really firm? How big was the drop? And was the height drop adjustable? Sorry for all the questions, I'm considering getting these..haha thanks.

The ride isn't too firm, but it can be a bit uncomfortable on fairly rough roads. Max. drop is approx. 2" front and 2.5" rear (where they're presently set at), but can be adjusted higher.

Jesse how are the coilovers going? any probs or complaints?

also i dont like raised boot spoilers but i really like this :whistling:

The only issue i've encountered so far is that the rear springs knock over some bumps, but i'm pretty sure it's because i had to leave out the rubber upper spring mount during installation, since the stock mounts won't fit over the adjustment thread.

Also, i've currently got my sights set on this... :spiteful:

Thanks for the feedback on coils Jesse, do you have Tanabe GF or NF? that carbon spoiler will suit your ride to the ground.

Saw you today then before i left i couldnt find you to say Hi... Car looks hot as usual ;)

Do you mean the black rubber that the red arrow is pointing to below?

And also, how are the back adjustable? Aren't the tanabe coilover set just springs and shocks at the rear? :huh: Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply guys (computer troubles :( ).

The coilovers i got are the GF model. From what i've managed to decipher from the Tanabe site, they're stiffer and more track focused than the NF (thankfully not back-breaking though).

For the rear height adjustment, the spring perch and locking ring are fitted to a threaded sleeve (gold coloured bit in the pic). :)

How does it sound mate?

It sounds great! It starts out as a deep rumble at low revs, then becomes a loud roar from about 3500rpm onwards. :D

no prob with the maf sensor jesse ?

No problems at all. Everything went in pretty smoothly. :)

I also randomly decided to remove the engine cover and the front panel.

Thanks Charlie, i'll be at the annual meet for sure! Fingers crossed for good weather.

At the moment i'm finding the exhaust to be very loud and droney, but the guy who installed it said if it gives me any troubles he will redo it and try to make it quieter.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      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
