Great work Steven,have watched this from the start :clap:

whats next maestro?

next mod depends on my tax return and what other customising I can think of. A few things I'm thinking of

- Finish ABS intake piping to replace factory snorkel

- Larger rear brakes

- Further exhaust mods

- Wheels/better tyres

- Leather stuff

Okie need some opinions here people. I've got a bit of a tax refund coming this year and am torn between what mods are next on the list.

Some larger wheels n better tyres have already been organised as a stop gap for my current set up, hence why not on the list.

Possibilities include

1) Aftermarket headlights (cheapest option)

Ie the CCFL and Audi strip ones like those on ebay here. Reason for these is mostly that my current headlights don't seal properly and tend to fill with condensation every time I wash it (and resealing them isn't possible anymore)

2) BC Adjustable coilovers

To give it more performance through the twisty bits

3) Leather retrim

Just retrimming some bits and pieces of the interior to a tastier leather. Nothing overboard but enough to make a difference.

4) 19 inch wheel/tyre package

The 18 inch wheels I'm getting are just on loan, but will be fitted with really good rubber. However if I forgo any of the above I can go 1 inch larger with semi-decent (but not as good) tyres.

Please stop by with your vote people as I'm very conflicted here and could use some public opinion.

imo dont get the aftermarket headlights they will cheapen the look. better to get oem sportivo ones or give your current ones a second chance in resealing.

the coilovers or 19inch wheels would be best bang for buck in handling and cosmetics respectively

Coilovers and stick with 18"s if you ask me.

19" will kill your ride quality + pricing isn't very delicious. Just grab a set of rims from TireRack. It won't even get to 4 digits AU posted with the dollar above parity!

coilovers! and (if possible) stick with the 18s...

19s wont neccessarily kill your ride quality (your coilovers will do that! lol), but the tyres available for 19s in the correct load rating can be VERY expensive...

my pirelli pzero nero's were $600 a corner... you can find them for cheaper, but that's their RRP...

- the aftermarket headlights do look a bit retarded somehow so skip that

- I would go with the coilovers if you had the money

- As long as it's black no problem.

- I would prefer spending money on better tyres than bigger rims.

If I go the coilover route then the BC racing brands are probably the only ones within my price range (around $1400 plus a bit extra for installation etc). Even then that's going to be a bit of a stretch.

Knowing me I probably would, but a bit extra is still required for the wheel alignments

$60 for a wheel alignment..

you're more than capable of doing it yourself, plus if need be, i'm sure a few guys would be willing to help you out..

if you do go down that path, then the obligatory "slammed" picture must be taken during installation... ie, put it on its lowest setting... :lol:

Get the coils Steve and make me green.

Installing them is a piece of cake. If I can replace my struts at 1am in the morning, you should have no issues at all.

<sigh> FINE I'll get the freakin coilovers <grumble>

Guess I'll have to also figure out how to disassemble my current headlights and fix them AGAIN despite my extreme efforts of "sealing" them last time. Might also have a play whilst in there to make it worth my time hehe

I hope so. I've got knock sensors and a timing belt that need replacing and wTer pump seals could b done at the same time.

We've never done a strut swap at the Loop yet...

      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.
