Looks very sexy DJ. You gonna keep them on or go back to your old lights?

Well at this point, I'm definitely thinking of keeping them. I'm not always good when it comes to change so I need to take time to get fully used to it. Once that happens, I don't think I'll want to get rid of them.

Cleaned up the engine bay... all engine bay plastics now back in with new scrivets and dodgy improvised CAI rubber cap has been replaced with something that 'looks' right, but is still capped off.

Damn yanks and their extra emissions crap.

not much of a "mod" to the car itself per say, but it will certainly help the appearance of it :P

was a pain in the backside getting this in WA, had to order it from motor active.... and the cost made me question my sanity, but oh well :P

will be giving the car a mother of a detail in the coming weeks :P

Thanks man B)

Also your exactly right. I was aching to get those ugly green things off. P's or full licence, doesn't make a difference but having those things on the Aurion is an eyesore.

Not only that, I *think* that the Aurion is classified as a high powered vehicle(vic) so I would always ***** myself when near cops, but no more fear and no more P's!

So yeah, to celebrate I gave it a nice detail

Wash.

Clay bar (If was COVERED in black dots after being at the Toyota dealer few weeks ago for four days).

Scratch and Swirl Remover.

Meguiars Wetlook polish.

Wax.

And inside the usual stuff like dash and trim spray, meguiars leather cleaner, vacuum.

All in all took me a good 5 hours, everything by hand.

What sucks though is dust is already settled on the outside of the car :lol:

I'm going to be so OCD soon I'm going to start keeping my car is a Vacuum where those people who spray paint cars in :lol:

I know I know but they are so expensive for a decent one. I used to have one but it was such a cheapo it died on me while using it for the third ever time :lol:, I couldn't stop laughing.

The one you have is like in the thousands, correct?

What I did last week - drove the 102 up to Surfers, had a week's holiday, picked up some long-awaited 101 Levin seats, attended the meet for a Twincam QLD cruise, and then drove it back home. Trip back saw me get from Ballina to Newy on a single tank and a fully laden car, 6.5L/100km is nothing to sneeze at for sure.

What I did today - put in the driver's seat. Would have done the passenger's seat too except fading light, rising mossie levels and having to swap the seat belt holders and seat belt warning light harness over took up a big wad of time

Fitted Anthony's TRD Strut brace so I can get a metal shop to whip up a custom brace using those dimensions.

this ride is becoming a full on project Andrew

I know man. A fact my wallet is fully aware of.

I was getting some quotes the other day with regards to fitting a new clutch kit.... $1000 + the cost of the clutch.

Ouch!

dude that is a rip, $700 should be on the high end plus the price of the clutch, mine would have been slightly easier but not $300 easier

Yeah, still trying to find someone I can trust to put in the clutch.

Exedy Heavy Duty clutch is looking to cost me around the $620 mark. Still sniffing for a cheaper price.

      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
