VIP2 looks better in the flesh than the photos... but i'll still probably end up putting the VIP1 back on and selling the VIP2. We'll see. I'll drive around for a week or so with it on and see how i go. Adding the second layer of mesh makes either grill look WAY better! :)

another reason for doing the vip2 is cause hardly anyone (if anyone at all) has it on this forum... so you'll be even more unique... :D

(other unique thing being the fact that your colour is the best one out there.. :lol:

Broke, unemployed uni student. Repayments aren't that much... but still, every cent counts at the moment. I have another very fuel efficient piece of **** '98 nissan pulsar that i was going to sell, but it seems that it might be cheaper to keep it and sell the glorious Aurion.

Haven't made my mind up for sure yet, but it will be a sad day if it does happen.

Get work like a donkey (that's how i survive, im a uni student too) and sell the Nissan pulsar! You'll miss Aurion so much you'll buy it again at certain point. Take it from a few of people in the forum here, 1 guy sold his and after a while, decided to buy another one.. :lol: , 1 guy upgraded his pre facelift ZR to facelift ZR! B) :D And the most recent one, 1 guy was in a major bad luck accident but he decided to replace it with another Aurion! :toast: :toast:

Moral: Don't sell Aurion when you know you don't want to part with it. At most, stop the modding fever and leave it as it is till you have an extra budget to spend it on ur car.

Sorry for the few people I used for example... It's fairly obvious who I'm talkin about. :ph34r: :ph34r:

UPDATE: i have come to my senses... no longer planning on selling this car :)

wise decision.. :)

Definitely a wise decision. Parting with a good car is always something that is hard to do. It's best to save yourself from the feeling of doing so by keeping it.

Unless you are selling it to get something much much better.

Right... when my old car sells (hopefully soon!!) I'm going to spend a bit of money on the Aurion. I'm trying to do decide what to do first. As I've complained about before, I'm now a uni student with limited funds, so I need to choose wisely. Window tinting is a definite. I am thinking of going down the path of Strut & Sway bars but am not sure if this should be the next highest thing on my list. A speaker replacement is another choice (a bit cheaper than the strut/sway bars), but I'm not sure how much of an improvement I'll notice without an Amp & Sub. I'm not particularly interested in getting a sub as I use my boot too much to lose the space!

Ideas? Opinions?

If you were to ask me, I'd be suggesting the Ultra Racing gear. That will give you some great driving pleasure.

But then again, I really love to drive, so I guess it comes down to what your preferences are.

Window tinting has just become even more of a priority... I installed white LED lights this afternoon. I just went out to see what it looks like at night - my car glows! So fricken bright!

Yeah, couldn't agree more. Tinting is always something you have to have. When my last Sportivo got registered, it was in the tinting shop the very next morning.

Just don't get a 15-20% tint. It looks f***ing cool, but is a real pain to drive at night with.

I white LED lights this afternoon. I just went out to see what it looks like at night - my car glows! So fricken bright!

You should come out to the meet this Thursday. I've finally fitted my footwell lights, now with the rears brighter than they were in my Sportivo. If you think your car glows, you should see mine :lol: Totals up to 186 LED's to provide my internal white illumination.

Yep... I'm planning on coming along this week. Little brother will probably come with his Supra as well. You can all give me a list of suggested mods then :)

Oh.. Some1 gonna go broke real fast. Good thing about not being a Brissy, is that less poisons. Care for people like Ingres. 3 days in Sydney, he pointed out evry single thing that is not right with my Interiors.. LOL! It's a good thing, but again not good for my pocket.

The **** thing for not being one, is that you can't really see some of the good Aurions and the experts there.

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
