LOL yeah me too!! But dont forget our cars arent really sport cars.. Such a shame aye.. and our transmission setup restricts us to a certain power. Why Toyota!! Why!! Haha if our cars were RWD oh my!! how much more fun..

+1 million.

If these Aurions came in RWD package I wonder what the Holden and Ford boys would be picking on then? It's annoying because some guy on the street few days ago said (not joking here), nice car, those Aurions are punchy for a FWD!

AHHHH! As soon as they think FWD they think slow and crap.

Edit: But then again, if someone bought the Aurion so they use it as a sports car got the wrong car.

I got this car because its sensible, I regularly use it for family duties and to put a booster/baby seat in the back to taxi around the two little nephews etc(like I had to tonight), and it also has lots of room for a big family like mine and also great for work.

Im sure if those Holden and Ford boys had a FWD setup in their car, they would just be doing burnouts instead of moving off the start line. Haha. If our cars were RWD and even in manual we would blow them away, plus their cars hav atleast 60kw more than we do... So i dont know how they can give us ****

That is true. I see way too many bogans in there RWD flat sticking the cars at the lights like some chump today in his yellow monaro. He hit the accelerator so damn hard at the lights it sounded like a freight train(was trying to race a ford). Poor engine :(

LOL. Something i havent seen in ages... A Holden vs Ford haha!! Man... one day, hopefully i have money... then i can beat some Fords and Holdens in a race, but having a 14second car isnt fast enough..

We're still going on about the whole Aurion FWD/RWD talk? This discussion just never dies.

Toyota would of had a reason not using RWD in the Aurion. Then it would turn into a 4 door Supra. Personally i would of prefer AWD but FWD fine for me.

Except Toyota have had a RWD 4-door six-cylinder car for the last 30 years (and still do), it's called the MarkII/Chaser (called the Mark X now). We got it in the 70s and 80s as the Cressida.

man, just 250kg off, RWD and a manual gearbox makes to car sprint 2 secs faster to 100km/h. and no, its not fair to brag to people for the fact that this car uses the same engine as everyone's aurions around here. i'm envious though.

The Lotus philosophy has never been about the engine anyway. The base Elise still uses the 1ZZFE, and previous versions used the Rover K-series, itself nothing special. Even with their light weight they've never been flash in a straight line (except for the twin-turbo V8 Esprit), it's about the chassis and the handling - the engine simply provides the means for getting between the corners, you could use just about any light-weight reliable engine (remember the track-special roadster a few years ago with the 2AZ Camry engine?) and still get the same results.

i have to admit that Lotus have made a damn good job to shove a corolla engine into their elises enabling it propell 0-100km/h in about 6 secs.

I reckon theyd have a bit of an issue around the track with the weight and torque coming in and out of corners compared to their standard setup - which is the Lotus strength.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Down the track I'm saving up for a red or gun metal grey Exige *drools*

They were trying to prove the aurion to be a more fuel efficient and more reliable than the commodore and falcon. Which we can defiantly say they have achieved.

The aurion is a really good car even thought it was built during the financial crisis and toyota had to stop TRD

      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.
