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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
