Hi Guys,

Picked up my new 2009 Upgrade Presara on monday. Bloody beautiful car, is my opening comment!

I decided on the Diamond White with the beige (Grege) trim, as my previous Camry was a bit hot with the black interior.

All the upgrade options look good and work well, no complaint there, but I am not overly happy with the comfort of the leather seats, in fact they make my back ache. I have fiddled and adjusted and set and reset, but I just can't seem to find a comfortable position.

The dealer tells me, that the seats have to give and wear in a bit and I should get used to it.....well we will just have to wait and see. I have had an aftermarket genuine copy spoiler fitted, painted in white only (not the standard two tone) and had the windows tinted.....it looks really smart. The wife finds the car a bit cavenous and I find it a little blind at the rear when parking, but I can live with that.

I have one question for those of you with fitted factory Sat Nav. How do I turn off the Icons (I think they are POI Icons)on the main map screen. I was fart ****ing around with the setup and now I have bloody petrol stations, restuarants, hotels, motels, hospitals etc etc, all over the map screen and I don't know how to remove them, back to a basic road screen!!

Fuel consumption appears to be between 11 and 13.1 around town, but I acheived 8.6 during an hour drive down the coast, sitting on about 100kmh. At the moment I am still reading the Owners Manual, as this car has so many electrical gizmos to learn.

Anyway so far I love the car and managed to Insure through Allianz for $487 for $51,295 agreed value, so I am stoked.

If you can afford the extra $10,000 over the prodigy, the Presara is worth the money. :D

Regards.................Dixie.

Gratz on ur buy.. Haha. U might wanna have a look on what's happening on the group buy.. Just informing u ^ ^

Anw, it's pretty easy to have the POI all on/ off. Have a play around the set up with POI, i find it difficult at first time. Once u get the hang on it, it's pretty simple.

Shouldn't have too much trouble when parking, since presara does come with a rear camera..

      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.

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

      "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.

      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
