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

Small update:

- Intake cams are cleaned and ready to be installed, likely to be put in before the end of January. We're still unsure whether the ECU will handle the supercharger AND the cams or not.

- Have priced up a new ECU, looking at getting an Adaptronic e420d which is suitable for the engine. Will be interesting how much power I can get from the cams, exhaust and supercharger from a proper tune.

- Bought a carbon wheel suitable for an Aurion and after some testing it's not quite a straight swap. I have the airbag cover and the wheel (obviously) but will need to get my hands on an airbag and the garnishes and she's ready to be put on.

Looks really nice drew.. Not a straight wrap, but u did it neat. Did you have to run some of it over or you cut to fit?

It's a good present for your Birthday.. Happy Belated B'day too. =)

Nice, we'll get to see how much potential there is with the cams now! Maybe you'll match me without upping the boost

LOL!

Knowing the G5CFH, with the cams AND the ECU with a tune I won't hit your 172kW.

Damm that blower looks sexy , was that wheel on ebay?

:clap:

Yep, Steven linked one on the Ebay Finds forum. It should be a direct bolt on for any 4-spoke Aurion setup.

New wheel is in. Thanks to Steven for helping me out with this project. There were a few issues that needed to be solved but on the whole it was relatively straight forward.

Going to re-trim the gold garnishes with something a little darker as they are a little out of place.

wow, that is hot man. does these button work with dvd player?

Not yet. I am considering whether I want to have something wired up to enable them to work or whether to remove them and cover them.

That's hot, didn't know they had red stitching, even hotter.. Nice mod for sure, it seems Steven is the interior DIY guy to see...

He's quite handy all round. Inside and out!

That looks sick..

But.. No buttons on the right side?

No. I was hoping for both garnishes to be buttonless but this wasn't the case. I noticed a Gen6 Sportivo wheel on eBay that only has the left hand controls so it doesn't bother me too much.

Decided against using steering wheel controls so Steven ended up doing some nice side garnishes for the steering wheel. A dark grey suede-like material which looks abit of alright.

Also tinted my rear tailights, will get some better shots in the day but here's a night shot for now

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Assuming it's expensive because you have no spare keys to make new copies from? Whilst your key doesn't need batteries and has no buttons, it probably still has a chip built in for the immobiliser to prevent hot wiring

      Invisible Instruments fix

      Yep. I used that hack because the dash was so dark. It's brilliant and easy. Newer Taragos have backlit dash day and night so no more need for this hack

      Finally found all Tarago's 6 speakers - 2 in roof lining

      After owning a 2007 GLi Tarago (ACR50), I've only just found there are 2 Tweeter speakers hidden under the roof lining just behind the front row (driver and passenger) seats, above the B-pillars. Blew my mind. Would really have preferred it if they weren't so hidden. Ideally they should have positioned them a bit further back too for the rear passengers to hear more clearly. Now that I know, I've been able to tune the stereo much better for rear passengers. Taragos were alway advertised as having 6 speaker stereo systems, but I assumed it must have been a marketing con because I could only find 4 speaker grills. Since the rear speakers don't have any treble sound, they really need those tweeters in the roof to balance out the sound.

      Can I use USB hub to get more USP ports?

      I just bought 2022 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid. The manual said there are two USB ports, but I can only find one. I need two USP ports on the front: One for Andriod auto, the other for dashcam. Can I connect a USB hub to the USB port on the car, will Andriod auto work on the USB hub's port?

      Replace Front RH park light Corolla 2006

      Hi Martin, Firstly welcome to the forum.. I would go on to Youtube I am sure there are many videos there showing the process. If you have no luck there google it and see if anything there can help out, I have never done it on a corolla but I do know on my Aurion it was easy on the right side but a real pain on the left with the battery in the way.

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      Hey mate, are you sure that's an option for the vehicle? Some models have various set ups. I've had Toyotas that will auto unlock, but not auto lock. I haven't had the chance to work on that one yet thanks to the issues Toyota is having with their keys... I'd like to know if you figure it out!

      2005 Toyota Camry Altise - changing transmission fluid?

      I'm not too sure about "old fluid to make shifts". Personally at 160,000 kms I would change oil and FILTER. Clean oil will help your tranmission shifts better and remove worned metals inside, metal shavings can prevent solenoids from working properly. This is preventative maintenance.
