Heya, I am a new addition to the forums. I recently picked this Camry Sportivo '07 build.

Love it!

Its a 5sp manual too!

I plan to do a few things here and there, I hope you like it!

yay another gen 6 camry

welcome to TOCAU. what other mods are you planning on doing?

Lowering the car some more, looking to get bigger wheels (19's or larger) as the 18's on the car were on it when I bought it. I am not a huge fan of heavy chrome wheels, although they do look ok.

I am thinking of blackening the headlight bezels for a more aggressive front end appearance. Looking to also either fit up some LED globes for the rear or go to the LED units that Toyota offered on the latest models.

Plus a few other little things here and there. ;)

Sounds good, 19s will go perfect.

Keep us informed about blackening the headlight bezels, been meaning to tackle that myself but ive never done it before.

No worries, its easy to do. I have done it before on another car and it comes up well.

NimrodAUS: Yeah mate they are a bloody expensive tyre! Luckily for me they cam on the car! Both my cars run Bridgestones, the WRX has RE050's and this car has the RE001's.

Great tyres!

1stkill: I may be interested, depends if I can sell the ones I have 1st.

I got a good price on some lowered Kings springs for the car, so I will be putting them in before much else.

The tyre width on the car now is 245's, so I will have to see if the lips need rolling or not.

Yeah Bridgestone are a good tyre. The RE001's & RE050's are a sweet tyre. Obviously the Adrenalin are the heaps sick as ones though. When My New Tyres on my Kluger Wear out im going to and have already stocked up on (but probably will sell them and get fresh ones before hand but just wanted spares) of the Dueler A/T D694's.

Painted the calipers today... came up good. I will post up some pics of the results soon.

And I will be ordering some Lovells lowered springs for it in the coming week or so. Its sitting a tad too high for me right now! :P

An update!

The 18's are gone. I bought a new set of 20's with 225/35/20 tyres all round.

I also ordered some lowered coils today and also some clear/black LED tail lights from the USA. They should both be here in a few weeks.

So here is the car as it stands... albeit too high! :D

hahaha...yeah yeah I know, I actually wanted to put the springs in while car was up on stands with no wheels on it. But Kings being slack have no coils in stock...anywhere in Australia for the car. So I have to wait for them to make me some <_< That will take 2-3 weeks apparently.

I was looking at other options but they are far too expensive to order from the USA. And I was going to go Lovell's but have decided to go with who and what I know.

Tail lights are these:

Very nice mate, lookin real good. I had to order from kings directly myself, took awhile to get the springs like you. How much lower did you drop it?

I noticed you got dual exhaust. first time ive noticed it on a 2007 i4 camry here in australia. can i ask if the other exhaust is just a fake or not?

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
