Spot the difference:

Old:

New:

New front. Had the front bar repaired and repainted (there was a big rash on the right hand side which I don't have any pictures of) and the bonnet was stripped and repainted as well. Also had the Sportivo Accessory lip painted and put on. They also fixed up most of the front fenders (for free!) because the owner of the paint shop wasn't happy trying to blend the colours together with all the stonechips in them.

Pictures are pretty lame because of the crap lighting and crappy camera as well.

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

Thanks Tash, I couldn't recognise the front with the new paintjob when I first saw it. I was so used to all the stonechips on the bonnet (you can see them in the 'old' pic).

Will be at the meet, just organising accomodation. It's a bloody nightmare. :blink:

edit: patience shouldn't be an issue given how much work you put into keeping yours clean. Funds will definitely be a factor though!

Thanks man.

Will be putting on replacement headlights before the Annual meet (I assume you'll be attending being a Sydney resident and all?).

Spotted this on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CAMRY-HIGH-RISE-SPOILER-GENUINE-/180497984703?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a0684acbf#ht_500wt_804

considering buying it, a little torn though. :blink:

Replacement headlights? same ones? (gen 5) or the 5.5?

Yeah would most probably try and make it for the friday night meet, just to say hi and check out people's rides.

Still not sure about the day trip though, it is a little too far to plan for at the moment haha.

But coming down from QLD would be a nice trip! hahaha

You should have got that and did the spray all together lol

It'll be different, not many people have that optional wing, but with that extra power, you might need the extra downforce =p jks

One of a kind dude, that is all I can say.

Same headlights, I don't know if the Gen5.5's will fit and I don't particularly like the blinker part being on the inner side of the lights.

Have only seen the optional wing once, on a burgundy Gen 5.0 Azura, it looked alright

Ah sweet! Yeah... not sure if the Gen 5.5 would suit the Gen 5 front *shrugs* looks-wise

Might have missed it, but why are you replacing the headlights again? sorry

Yeah i've only seen the spoiler on a silver one around here, Gen 5 sportivo.

I dunnoe, might look a little bit weird if the whole car is stock.

But with some wheels and lowered like yours it should look sweet!

Not sure why but i still love the feeling of driving a manual V6, not many around... esp you having a little TRD enhancement ahahaha

not buying it.

That's the general vibe I've been getting. Even conservative Dave said "BUY IT!!!!!" so I'm leaning towards buy.

Replacing the headlights because they are both yellowed (the painting dudes tried their best to fix it, but it's on the inside. Plus the drivers side light gets condensation after the rains).

The wing would probably fit in, I have the Sportivo Accessories front lip now (just need the rear lower one), it's lowered and non-standard alloys so it won't be too out of place.

mmmmmmm i like!!

Next time she is out I'll give the throttle a little squirt for her.

Man Mick, if I were you I would be ******.

Fingers crossed the spoiler gets here in time. Would love it to be ready for the meet. My fault though, I should have bought the damn thing when I saw it about 2 days into the auction.

Headlights have arrived. They will be eyelid-less for now as the finish of the lids are terrible. The paint shop tried to paint them but the bottom of them just don't work.

Serious prepwork on them needs to be done in order for the eyelids to be useable, not worth the labour.

edit: Brisbane's resident bush-mechanic will be doing the install later :)

Just getting off my bum and doing stuff that should have been done a long time ago.

- Bumper + bonnet issue (although not the lip! :whistling: ) was bothering me for a long time

- Headlights were collecting water during rain for as long as I can remember

- High-rise spoiler? When Dave says yes, you know it's a good thing.

They have been waxed 3 times since I bought them and I'll continue to take care of them. Big thanks to our local bush mechanic who put them in for a slab of redbull.

      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!!! :)
