Hey,

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Genuine-TRD-Black-S...=item3efc9159eb

These TRD brake pads seem like a bargain. Has anyone purchased them for their sportivo? If so, are they the real deal and what is their quality like (low noise, low dust)?

Thanks,

hey mate, i bought them off ebay last week. only fitted the fronts on and yes they are really good. steering wheel doesn't shudder anymore. They ARE a bargain and i plan to buy another set of fronts for storage. otherwise i might buy the HPQ brands. (search them up on the forums and highly regarded here on TOCAU)

about the brake dust well... just clean your rims weekly and they should be alright. u can't have everything :P

Just be aware there are plenty of fake brake pads out there. I'd recommend buying from a reputable source; it's not like buying fake C-One wing tips.

If you want to know why that happened, the Black series are only rated for Street use, if you look at the co-efficiency (μ=0.48～0.32) and temp rating (500℃) you can easily tell it won't even last you a few laps of all out track or spirited driving (depending of course how good a driver you are too cause the better you are obviously use less brakes but you can't defy physics). If you want TRD pads that are good for both street and spirited driving then look at the TRD Red series which has higher temp rating BUT the co-efficiency is higher so it'll wear out both itself and your rotors quicker ;)

hey SD, thinking about this, my uncle when he fitted the pads, said that there is a little bit of copper in the compound... is this normal?

cheers

Looking at the specs of the QFM pads, they seem to be pretty reasonable specs, the co-efficiency seems a little higher than others but I wonder what compound is it made of? Are they semi-metallic? Carbon? Non-Asbestos? :)

I've got Endless MX72 on the front, they're brilliant :) If you look at their specs, its 50 - 700deg temp range, Average Coefficient of Friction 0.37 - 0.47, better than most regarding brake dust, brake fade, Controlability and pedal feel. This is compared to the major JDM brands like Project Mu, WinMax and ACRE. I've also tried Brembo and Bendix. Endless kills most them in almost every department (when comparing relevant series)

Not sure, I've never used the TRD pads.

Non-Asbestos? :)

Shame asbestos can't be used any more, it was good stuff :(

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      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.

      "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.
