Hi Guys

I've been around here since early June this year when I bought my Silver Ash ZR6, but I've been waiting for a few mods to get some latest pics up.

Since I bought the car I've made the following mods :

- 19x8 Advanti Gauntlet wheels (+45 offset) with 245/35 tyres

- King Springs (still waiting for them to settle)

- Supercat Exhaust with 4 inch double wall tips

- Eyelids

- Thai Sports grill with silver mesh

- Silver mesh lower front grill

- Slimline weathershields

- Number Plate light LEDs

- Dark window tint

- Toyota Floor Mats

- Eclipse AVN726EA Head Unit

- Eclipse EA4200 4-channel amp

- Eclipse SC6900 Splits Up Front

- Eclipse SC6900 Splits Rear

- Eclipse BC-106 Rear Camera

- Eclipse iPod Interface Cable

- Dynamat in front doors and rear parcel shelf

- Electrchromatic self dimming interior mirror with HomeLink (Dimming works. HomeLink does not as it uses US frequencies)

- White LED door and interior lights

Some of the things I'm thinking of still doing are :

- Eclipse XA1200 monoblock amp

- Eclipse SW6210 subwoofer in custom boot enclosure

- Somehow convert HomeLink US frequencies to Aus to use mirror buttons

- LED footwell lighting

- LED door handle lighting

- LED Parkers

- LED Daytime Running Lights (would look cool)

- Maybe HIDs

- Maybe Front Strut Brace

All in all I'm rapped in this car. It goes really well and is good on the juice. My little boy (5 year old) calls it the "Fast Car".

Enjoy

Michael

Thanks all for the comments...it's good fun to watch the changes, and especially learn from everyone on these forums. There are a lot of you who have inspired and directly added to my decisions, etc.

p.s Love those 4" tips...what brand are they and are they stainless?

Sure are Lee. They're the same as your tips (minus the mufflers). Zetti double wall angled stainless. My exhaust change costs were mostly the tips, but well worth it.

Thanks Rowan, good to hear about the front as it still looks a bit high. Will probably look at eyelid, grill colour code combo sometime. Maybe might get one of the photoshop dudes on the forums to see if they can show me what it might look like.

Will be out tonight.

Cheers Michael

awesome aurion, man. Love it. 4 inch exhaust, is it loud?

Nah..only the tips are 4 inches. The rest of the system from where the exhaust splits was replaced.

I initially had 2 barrel mufflers put on, but it droned way too much inside the car. Had them swapped out for some oval jobbies which sound nice in my opinion. Still have the central resonator and cats.

Not too loud but a nice growl. Sounds sweeter the higher the revs.

Well this update is a bit of a mixed one, as I now no longer have my fantastic silver Aurion Sportivo ZR6. Its' mixed cause I don't have it and I do miss it, but also as I am now the owner of a Ford (sorry for swearing on these forums) G6E Turbo, and I have found power like I haven't experienced in a car before (not even my previous VY 5.7 litre260 kW HSV Clubsport).

I can partly blame Ash for this from when he bought his XR6 Turbo a little while back, and I kinda got thinking. :spiteful:

The car is brand new and is now a week old. It is a darker blue (Sensation in Ford speak) than Ash's car and is standard, but man does it go. I opted for the G6ET as opposed to the XR6T as being 41 now had to join the cardigan brigade (as they are called on the Ford forums). This is an impressive Q-car.

As good as it goes, there are things the Aurion walks all over it. Things like Keyless entry and smart start (leaving the key in pocket), electric passenger seat, front parking sensors, projector headlamps, etc. Build is really good and it is dead quiet inside (except when you floor it and it sounds great).

Haven't got any photos of it yet as the weather has been crap, but it looks like most of the blue ones at Google Images'

Anyway was a fun ride, but now time to move on. I haven't been to a meet in a while, but will try to get along sometime to say g'day anyway. Still have my Prado so could still legitimately be called a Toyota owner.

Will be putting up some for sale posts soon to sell my exhaust system, Eclipse nav system, speakers, sport grill, etc. Had to make the car standard (apart from wheels and springs) to trade in.

Aurion was up on Bryan Byrt Ford and carsales website till the other day, so may have sold already. Would have been a good buy for someone with only 24,000 km on the clock.

Cheers

Michael

Damn that car was nice. Did you by any chance take the weathershields and floor mats off?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Real MEN don't drive XR6T or G6ET. They drive F6 or GTE :spiteful: :spiteful: :spiteful:

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
