I need to spend more time with her to get a good idea of what would suit best I think. In tradition, it must be a girl name and with a car with such a stance, this may take some deep thought. It sure

If you ask me, they are worth every cent. The way it affects the car is just amazing.

And yeah, a set being the front strut brace and rear sway bar.

I've got to get off this site - you keep inducing me to spend more money on my car.....I'm going to digest the cost of the new Kappa's first and then get onto this Ultra Racing crowd for a set of bars - unless anyone out there wants to part with theirs, my bank manager would be very appreciative :rolleyes:

"part of a mandatory Toyota recall"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

thats the best excuse ive ever heard!!!

just to add to the voice in your head... you really need the rear sway bar as well... with just the front bar in hard cornering, you might find it becomes tail happy... then your wife will DEFINITELY not believe that its part of a safety recall when your car is wrapped around a poll... *touch wood!!*

So anyone thinking now of upgrading to a TRD since you are all in the spending mood? :lol:

Anyways, today after work I headed over to Willowbank. Because I went straight from work, I went for a run in full street trim which includes spare wheel and subwoofer/amplifier.

I'm a little bit on the disappointed side of things because I was really hoping for a 13.7xx run with at least 103mph trap speed. Personally I think this would have easily been possible if I could have launched it harder. The TRD is definitely more touchy with launching compared with the Sportivo. Looks like when I get a good set of grippy tires, then I will head back for maybe one last time since I'm kind of over the 1/4 mile now.

So today's best run was:

13.827s @ 101.31mph

Do tell me if there's a price for value TRD (Althou not as good value as urs), 3500SL and black. I'm poisoning a mate to get an Aurion. Althou I hate her to get any Aurion really, either a brand new Aurion with lots of features that the pre-facelift doesn't have, or the Supercharger.

how do you go with all the power in the front wheels? Wouldnt be much fun in the wet without traction control. If they made a RWD version I would buy it.

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
