hey guys,

this is mani from sydney. i've bought a brand new (2010 model) Aurion Sportivo ZR6. i'm very interested to be involved in discussions on these forums to find out more about this car and what kind of mods everyone is doing to the stock model.

It'll be delivered in about 2 weeks time. can't wait. will be posting up pics as soon as it arrives.

one question - does Toyota add the TRD Aurion wheels on the Sportivo ZR6 as an option. I'll speak to them, but wondering if anyone already knows. I don't like the stock wheels and was wishing to put the TRD wheels on it. If Toyota don't do that, can I get the original TRD wheels from somewhere else.

cheers,

mani

Hey and welcome! :D Facelift model! Nice..

Why do you speficically want the TRD wheels? There are lots that look similar like those. The Kappa wheels are the most popular in the forum, often used by the rollas and the Aurions. Of course you can source the TRD wheels from a dealer - if not, you'll have to provide a VIN number which Im sure the members here won't mind helping you buying one, but dealer will charge you a fortune. Better to source an aftermarket ones..

Btw.. Toyota National Meet is also in around 2 weeks. If you're in Sydney and can make it, make sure you go there. :D

yeh, i had a look at the kappa wheels.. i think i can get way better ones by going aftermarket and that too for the same price. i was interested in the TRD wheels firstly because they look really good and secondly because they will be genuine. not sure if not going toyota genuine makes a difference or not though? and how much do the dealers charge for the original TRD wheels? any idea?

whats the deal with hubrings?

Just less likely to break due to cheap production quality. No benefits really.

and how much do the dealers charge for the original TRD wheels? any idea?

Last time I heard, it was around $700-$800 per wheel

whats the deal with hubrings?

It's to do with the hole in the centre of the wheel. Wheels will have a hole in the centre in which the hub of the car sits in and this is what centralises the wheel and does most of the support. If an aftermarket wheel has a hole in it larger than the hub on the car, you use a hub ring to make it all fit.

thanks a lot for the info. appreciate it.

do you think every toyota dealer would have the TRD wheels?

No. They aren't usually kept at a particular dealer. You have to go in and order them and they will ship it from where ever they have them.

Realistically though, for the cost of getting them, there are so many other wheels out there that you can get for a better price and a bit more unique. Personally, the cost of the TRD wheels isn't really justified in looks.

What price would be justified? (with tyres)

$2200?

Dpending on wat tyres they're on. You can even get a set of 20s with $2200. It comes back to individuals on their willingness to spend a certain amount of money for the TRD wheels. Personaly, I wouldn't pay above 2k for a set of those.

Those are expensive coz they have the 'TRD' image on them. But if you look from normal perspective, it's just another set of good looking wheels. :)

yeh, ill have a word with the toyota dealers to get a quote on the TRD values. I'll then check out the aftermarket as well and compare. I won't waste 700 to 800 on TRD wheels.

but anyway, any suggestions on the tyres (the rubber), which brand to go with, and any idea of the prices for a good set of tyres?

FYI: There is a set of 19" Gunmetal TRD Wheels at a Sydney Wheel and Tyre Store if any wants them. I've thought about buying them, but i don't think so.

They look as if they are brand new and in very good condition

I wonder how much they ripped off the guy who once owned those.

Edit: Gawd I so want those.

Thanks mate, but as I said above, the cost of them just isn't justified, even if thye are second hand (personal opinion).

I'm learning to live with what I've got :(

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi all, Finally got around to modifying the fascia kit. Not super happy about it - basically a hugely overpriced piece of plastic for what I thought would've been designed for RHD and is literally the cheaper brand I was going to originally buy (for LHD Highlander), might as well have bought it from Amazon or the like. The fit is off in relevance to the centre air vents. I might try a MkII version and modify a factory radio fascia if it really gets to me. I digress... Let's start with removal of the screen from the head unit. I love that this Pioneer radio has a separable screen for custom installations. Here is the Aerpro fascia after trimming. I should've just bought the Metra version if I knew that they were the same. The part behind the fascia kit is a bezel that I designed and printed to suit. I also ended up rerouting the microphone next to the clock as I couldn't find a solution to make the factory microphone play nice with the aftermarket radio - I trimmed away the mounting lug & drilled a hole to suit in the trim bezel, so far it's the only original Toyota part that needed to be modified, still holds securely and the mic is tucked away as much as possible. No negative difference in call quality so far either. There is still much clean up to do but was keen to see how it looks like fitted so please excuse all the epoxy. Hopefully I will get it finished soon; it should look close to OEM as possible when I'm finished. Next will be to install an amplifier I have lying around, new speakers and subwoofer and finally have a stereo with some form of depth and quality.

      Flashing 4WD Lo and VSC and Engine warning lights

      Not ideal where you are but I would ry a couple of things: Either disconnect the batteries (both) and leave for a good 10 mins - enough time for all electrics to discharge.. Another one which worked for me was to disconnect the ECU - big plug on the passenger side firewall. Same thing, allow for electrics/electronics to discharge. Not practical for you at this stage but if you can get a Scangauge. This will allow you to clear the codes. Car has gone in limp mode. I had this problem several times whilst towing a caravan due to a performance chip which would cause a limp mode. No more as I have had the ECU remapped.

      Long start time when engine warm - 2004 Corolla

      Hi guys, I’m a long time Toyota owner, and am currently enjoying a 2004 Corolla Wagon with the 1.8 1ZZ-FE. The car starts and drives really well, however during warm starts (after sitting for 5 minutes) the car cranks for around 6-8 seconds before starting. It’s worth noting the following: - The car starts right away in the morning or if it hasn’t been driven for a couple of hours. - There is no indication of rough idle or fluctuations when driving - Outside air temperature doesn’t seem to make a difference I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this issue? I’m leaning towards vapour lock in the fuel rail caused by leaky injectors? I’d appreciate any advice or if anyone has had a similar issue with their car. Thanks very much in advance, Oakley
