This is my 2002 Camry Sportivo V6 (MCV36R). Given to me by my brother unmodded besides the roof/bike racks, sunroof and the reverse sensors. I got my first mod late March 2009/Early April 2009 which

thanks for the comments (probably wouldn't lower it though)! I'd probably upgrade the headunit soon + possibly add a TRD supercharger to it later on. Paint detailing/possible repaint isn't out of the

Happy with how they look AND the extra light I am getting from them. I can actually see the light dispersal.

On that note, very likely to get superlows and even before I get them I manage to scrape the front spoiler today (when moving the car after Mick did the install. Should have left the damn thing in the garage). Not bloody impressed. 'Luckily' the scrape is only on the bottom but it's there now and if I am not careful will have a few more friends.

It is bound to happen :P And you need to go sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooower down bumps

2 things that bother me the most:

1) My brother didn't care if I took the garage for the rest of the afternoon, I didn't even have to move her

2) I am usually very careful down there anyway but I was so happy with the new lights I wasn't paying attention. :huh:

When she's on superlows it'll be very similar to my brothers VE senator in height.

Confirmed today that the supercharger is indeed leaking. What a setback with the upcoming annual meet.

Just top it up, it'll be right.

ahhaha, the fill point is mounted horizontally so I still have to remove the damn thing anyway! :blink:

edit: @ $41.5 for 120ml of oil, even if it were vertically mounted I probably couldn't afford to buy the oil all the time!

Good job on the car! Myself and some friends are keen on seeing this in person at the Annual :lol:

If I can get her fixed up in time.

Scrambling to my battle stations at the moment. Crossing my fingers. :help:

Dw dude, the whole community is backing you up here.... only in spirit though hahahaha

There's still time, just get a loan lol

Funny you should mention it, with some direction from SupaTouring I gave Harrop Engineering a call.

If what I've been told is correct, the 1mz-fe supercharger is based on the Eaton M62. They were very helpful and gave me 2 part numbers that would likely to be used (one of them having a 98% probability). The guy on the phone said unless they've done some serious work to the charger, the seal should be the correct one.

I should have them up here by Friday, they were only ~$20 each.

Biggest cost will be fixing up the seal, in both time and money.

you know the bush mechanic is here to help if you need it.

Jesus man, that equals a poo-load of redbulls!

But seriously, I will take your offer into consideration. I can recall the installation process of the charger so I know what needs to go off, what is best left on etc. But you very well know I can't go past the supercharged Camry King without at least asking him first.

Thanks for the comments guys. Very happy with how the spoiler fits in with the rest of the car.

Too bad adding high-spoiler ≠ 15kW ATW increase :huh: and Daryl; wax wax and wax. I blame you :P . I still need the rear bar fixed up too.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Got the same issue on my 2005. I am wondering if it's to do with the airbag recall replacement. Might have not been reconnected, or the clock spring doesn't support cruise control. I will have to make time to pull the airbag off and see whether it's visually obvious.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      Could I please get a copy of the owner's manual that came with this car? I recently purchased the same car unregistered but it came with no owner's manual. Happy to pay for photocopying and postage. Or could you please tell me the part number that is inside the owners manual so I can try and find one on ebay. Many thanks

      Landcruiser Prado (150 series) AVS suspension

      Hi, I have a 2012 Prado (150 series) which is the LC5 (UK top end model) with AVS (suspension). My problem is that I find the AVS very brittle and a bit uncomfortable (on UK road tarmac) compared to my two previous LandCruisers - a 2001 Colorado and a 2006 Prado (120 series) with standard mechanical suspension. In the UK there are so few Prados sold with AVS that the dealers have no knowledge, and there is no Toyota UK technical support. Although I have no warning lights on the dash, there is no difference in the poor ride quality between Firm and Soft settings, thus I feel something must be broken between the dashboard switch and the dampers. Note that my dampers have been checked and two rears replaced, but with no improvement. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of this situation?

      Dangerous rogue dash speaker reflection

      Yeah its the silver surround that not only reflects up onto the windscreen but on the road on the way to and from work reflects the light straight into my eyes. I have just thrown a dark rag over eqch for now as a low tech fix but it looks pretty daggy in a vehicle I am otherwise really happy with. I have asked the dealer how to remove the covers, which they will have to do anyhow as the right one has a small dint in the face. Again only noticeable as the finish is not matt so the dint stands out. I have also messaged JBL nothing back so far.

      93 Landcruiser Trip Meter

      Sorry everyone, made a mistake on the post. Should be the third wheel stuck on 004 and the fourth wheel keeps rotating. Cheers

      93 Landcruiser Trip Meter

      Hi Guys. My trip meter stopped working recently. When setting back to 000 it will rotate until it gets to 040. the third wheel, which is in 100m increments keeps scrolling but the km wheel is stuck on 4. Any advice would be helpful. Cheers
