Hi everyone,

this has been a longtime coming but its been a while since i had some time to take photos and wash the car.

I have been in the forums for a longtime but more active recently reading and posting.

I've always loved cars but never been a heavy modifier of cars, last year i decided to upgrade my wheels for my Rav4 only to find out

they sold me the wrong tyres with wrong loading...yes it was one of the tyre centres along Princes Hwy between Rockdale and Tempe.

Since then i have taken an active role in researching everything and not do things on the spot without thinking.

Anyways Feb 2010 i bought this Demo ZR6 model and i am extremely happy with it.

After reading the forums first thing i did was Install GPS/DVD player from Ebay...best $370 i ever spent.

And most recently i installed the dvd players on the headrest...this one was more tricky and time consuming but worth it.

I also installed a switch in the middle console where i can turn off the headrest dvd player if the little falls a sleep or decides to chuck a tantrum..

Next thing on the list is to get 19inch wheels but i need to offload some old wheels that still in the garage before i purchase another set.

and of course lowering the car but this step im confused with what will happen with insurance, warranty and ride quality.

here are some photos

Looking good mate. Nice to see you have a helping hand with cleaning :lol:

Like those headrest monitors as well how they have the cover for them. Also never realised the Sportivo leather seats were designed like that (as in the raised bit either side of the headrest). That was something I noticed on the TRD and thought only those seats had.

Edit: Disregard my last comment. I had forgotten what my Sportivo looked like... just in cloth.

That is true - plus HID's look good too :D

Driveway is the main thing preventing me from lowering, until the council fix it the car's gotta stay at stock height otherwise there'd be no way of getting in or out :(

If you wanna lower it and concerned about scrapping, here's a win win. Fix the driveway! :toast:

i wish it was that simple, unfortunately its council area

i even looked into getting little metal ramps but can not find it anywhere.

i also experimented with a large piece of wood but apparently i can not put anything there that

blocks the storm water from flowing....according to my neighbour...im sure it was a hint not to do it when

he approached me.

the only other option is coilovers because i can adjust the height but that has to wait until warranty runs out.

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.
