Hey DRE

Hope you don't mind me giving you a free plug. Just came across a pic of your car on the net.

Riding on 22s. Looks mean. What size rubber you running? And using coilovers for this?

Very phat!!!

Check out : 22s on Aurion

ahahaha damnit..i thought i was gonna give u guys a surprise post..wouldnt be a surprise anymore now <_< i though i'd give myself a challenge by putting 22's on an aurion..most of the tyre guys i called in the eastern state and wa thought i was outta my mind when i said i want 22's for this car LOL

anyways, the rims 8.5" wide all around with 245/30 rubbers on them and D2 coilover suspension.

when i got the fender guard rolled with the new wheels, the rear was rubbing bad when i went uphill and corners and it was so annoying :wacko:

so just today i came back to the shop and asked the guy to camber the suspension. its -3degrees camber now and turns out alrite..no rubbing at all and i think i can fit 2 or even 3 ppl at the back again :yahoo:

Im thinking of getting a set of WALD lips when i go to jakarta next month like some of those thai aurions so the car would looks lower to the ground..

cant wait..

Do you seriously need to set your suspension to stiff to be able to drive it? It just seems like you are right on borderline there and don't have much clearance for suspension travel.

As well, do you find your speedo is out by quite a bit now?

Do you get any scrubbing when turning under full lock?

And do those tires cost a lot?

Sorry for the questions, but I know others here have considered it, so the extra assistance for them would be good.

Props to giving it a go though.

no worries mate, im happy to assist anyone here. I havent really play with the suspension so far, but its been set stiff since the day i fitted it and the ride been alright..better than chopped kings for sure ehehe i'll keep it posted next time i decide to set it soft.

in terms of speedo yea i think its out by about 4-5km/hr but that doesnt really bother me coz i dont really speed anyway..only that with this size rims the car slows down quicker as soon as u release the acceleration than before and as i said before, it doesnt rub/ scrub at all even when turning full...at the moment the front tyres still have about 1cm clearence from the guard, i reckon i still be able to lower it a bit more if i go camber and still wouldnt scrub. the rear was rubbing pretty bad before but after it was set cambered its fine and again i think i can lowered the rear a bit more with no fuss now.

the nexen tyres that comes with the wheels is inexpensive at all. the last time i look it up in the web,they cost around $1500-1600 for all 4. cheap compared to toyo/kumho/pirelli etc but theyre still good for street use.

Hey Dre...car looks sweet mate. :toast:

p.s add your wheels to your current insurance,it costs bugger all...i added my new audio and wheels and it worked out an extra $28 per year...also they won't cover your tyres,i asked as mine are $600 a corner. :(

and do you have the right load & speed rating,because insurance can get a bit funny with this if it's not correct,especially with big rims,they checked on mine.

Sorry to steal your thunder DRE. :whistling:

I got a bit excited that I'd recognised your car and thought everyone should see how unique your setup is.

Good work dude...

22"s

Yeeeeeowwl Dre,

now thats what im talking about. Finally, I knew it would happen but I didnt think it would take someone this long to do it. Did ya have to roll ya guards. Definately Niace, it works, looks good, congrats dude. Now you just need a lip or body kit to fatten up that front end, or you could bag it or drop it. If you need fill the gap from the ground to the car, those wheels look even more sic I reckon.

Good job dude, I like it.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I was hoping for a trivial issue like a blockage, but seems Im out of luck....

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?
