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.

Well lowering it should be next but im concerned with the ride quality and scrapping in the driveway.

im quite happy with the look so far, maybe HID kit next... cheap mod...

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.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
