I knew it was quick but wow i have a feeling a few of the V8's out there might wanna be careful anyone else got any stories of giant killing in their Aurion? Mines a stock AT-X and it beat an R34 so stoked!!!

A few different things on the track... Mate didn't believe I could smoke his LS1 statesman... proved him wrong

Beat a WRX (no idea what type, not my type of car sorry) down the quarter mile

Outrun an old corvette (probably the most fun victory I've ever had)

Went toe to toe with a Charger and a Valient

Most of those were stockers though... Get smoked by some of the newer Fords (FPVs etc)

It's a great car matey, just remember to drive safe on the streets.

:lol:

You sure he was actually racing? :lol: I'm kidding! Good story.

I don't condone street racing

Yesterday morning I was driving to work half asleep slow as a grandpa when I lined up next to this guy in a sp23 at red lights who had what looked like his little brother in the passenger side.

Good story!

I could hear his engine and muffler over mine (stock) and music.

While I don't condone street racing I feel that ever since I got my Aurion I have been looking for fights. Having said that............

Yesterday morning I was driving to work half asleep slow as a grandpa when I lined up next to this guy in a sp23 at red lights who had what looked like his little brother in the passenger side. He was revving at a constant pace then the light went green and he took off pretty quick, by the time I knew what he was doing he was a car length and a bit ahead and instincts told me to plant it (I was in Auto) so I did. Needless to say he was soon sucking my fumes.

I could hear his engine and muffler over mine (stock) and music. Sounded like he was giving it hell.

LOL sp23? cmon thats not even a challenge :P Maybe go against a 6 mps :D

:lol: I know, but I gave him a head start because I was sleepy. A 6 MPS will smash me and my ego. Leave me alone in my little world where my car is the fastest ever.

Mazda claims 6.6 seconds for the 0-100 km/h sprint the 3 is slightly faster to 100km/hour at 6.1 second

Yeah he was cos he went to pass me and i floored it and so did he i must say i was rolling at 60 when i floored it maybe gave me a bit of an advantage. I am curious has anyone anywhere ever looked into whether you can "remove" the ratcheting mechanism on the "footbrake" to make a handbrake pedal hahahaha now that would be interesting although unless u have traction control switched off the car has what i would describe as an epileptic fit. I know my friends XR6 is nowhere near as quick and the car has a top speed of 230 ;)

WTF guys. Keep your bragging to outside the forum like BKS has said. Take it to a track and get some figures. That would be more credible than your 'street racing'. So what if you got ahead of some guy on the streets. It's not an indication that your car is faster than theirs. On the track, at least you are sure that the two of you are aiming to be faster so the results are more true.

Yes the Aurion's do have a bit of go to them, but most of the people here in this section have one and know that. As for thinking that you'll give a V8 a run for it's money... keep dreaming.

A mod should probably close this as it doesn't really have anywhere else to go.

Ummm sorry wildfireatx but if you haven't read already I dont think anyone is willing to discuss these matters.. Why not just see for yourself :)... AND if you did beat any of these guys maybe a smile with a big breath of contentment will satisfy your victory!

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
