Hi All, been here for a few weeks,

Took delivery of my new atx today. company car, been driving an Aurion hire car for the last two weeks.

Looks good, alloy rims, aux in, bluetooth in for phone and mp3, led rear lights.

Already put in the clic on dashmounts for my iphone and work phone and have paired them both via bluetooth. both sound good.

I tend to tinker with my cars, so i will see you all round.

Chris,

Welcome mate. As I always say; great choice of car. Before you know it, you'll want to start doing things to it and lucky for the community here, you should have plenty of advice.

You should upload some photos for the rest of us to gawk at :lol:.

What is the difference between the LED tail lights on the new Aurion and the old model? I thought they both have LED tail lights, but it seems to be used as a selling point, is there something different between the LEDs used or just the design?

Just the design that has changed. Still uses a traditional bulb for the indicator and reverse light just like the old model. I'm guessing not too many people realised that the last model had the same and now that everyone is starting to use them more in cars, Toyota are just making it more known. I guess throwing it in together with the list of other additions just makes it seem like there is so much more to the car than there is.

I know it's only just new, but are there any mods you are thinking about, even if it's just the wheels for now?

If you're going down that track, you should try to go for the whole VIP look. Then you can be the first facelift VIP Aurion.

Congrats on the new buy mate, if you are going down the VIP road, go to the Thai Toyota Forum and Singapore Club Camry site, apparently 90% of them are going that direction.. should give you enough poison to start with hahah.. :clap:

Depends on which type of style you are looking for out of your Aurion. You maximum wheel size will also affect your wheel choice as well. It's all personal preference really. Your best bet is to pick up some catalogues from your local wheel shop and having a good look through them.

If I was to give a suggestion, for a black car you would definitely want to go classy. I would choose some 20 inch black wheels with some really nice chrome dish if I had to choose something. That's my preference though.

Not to mention the new Aurions already have the VIP look straight out of the factory.. Though that does detract from how unique your car will be compared to others, namely the grille

Hey all, Thanks for the welcomes!!

Mine is a silver one, I'll get some pics on the weekend, any requests on what you want to see??

i won't be doing any big mods as it is a company car, I got that out of my system with my last car- S2000, and also my wifes Mugen Jazz, which we're about to sell to get a SXT Nitro.

I drove the Aurion up to the sunshine coast for meetings today, and it drove really well, very enjoyable, and really happy with my iphone through bluetooth, the sound is great and really clear.

Ciao,

I must have got the total poverty pack as my work car has steel wheels and hub caps <_< The website says alloys std on AT-X:

It seems to have bluetooth audio but my mobile didn't find it when I scanned. The manual wasn't self explanatory about using it either.

How did you set it up Jester?

Sorted out the BT audio. All good now.

Yeah , I thought even the AT-X in the new Aurion Update came standard with Alloy Wheels.

I would go back to the dealer and point it out in their own brochure.

Knowing my bosses it was probably requested with steel wheels & hubcaps just to spite me... <_<

I tried to get an SX6 quoting a much better residual on the lease but the extra $33 p/m on the lease was too much!!!

Maybe math was different when I was at school or is $3000 less than $33 x 36!! :g:

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
