now that is an interesting development... very interesting indeed... I may have to rethink my track rims now :D

:clap:

yeah i thought that might throw a spanner in the works for some.

16s look gay at the tracks lol if u look at the sizes for the range, in comparison to the rt215, they are geared more for the drifters.

but yeah, check to see if the falken distri in aus brings that size in. otherwise PM me if u need help.

Yokohama A.Drive R1 215/40/R17

Went Shao / Northy style and stuck to Yoko's.

These are on the P1's now. Unreal tyre, very very responsive and sticky now.

Northy has been running on Fulda's for about year or more. Heaps cheaper and pretty much a comparable tyre. depends on how much you want to spend. Fulda's seem to last a lil longer on North's car too...

Putting on 215/40/17 Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001 tomorrow :D

How did they go?

They are absolutely brilliant. Just couldn't stop driving yesterday, and wanted to hammer each corner I come up to :D

Coming from the worn Fuldas to band new Adrenalins was a huge contrast so I'm not going to compare them side-by-side.

Theres a few more things i want to try like stability in high speed lane change, some track work next month, and some other stuff they show on the website (click on performance) :yahoo:

Initial impressions are very grippy, stable and not much noise (in dry so far). The ride is a bit harder than Fuldas, not sure if thats the case in other sizes.

How do they handle in the wet? Have you pushed them yet?

The reply a month later -_- soz

We had a lot of rain here in the past month, and these do work very well in the wet.

In a straight line high speed, it cuts through quite easily and no aquaplaning.

Although I very rarely corner as hard in the wet as I would in the dry, I haven't had any slip'n'slides with "spirited" cornering (not pushed).

As with any tire they will spin if you plant your foot down when exiting a wet corner :D

We got ALOT of rain tonight and I was able to further test the RE001 :P

On a bend that I could "very comfortably" go 110+ in the dry, I will start to slide a little when going above 90 in very wet conditions... hope this helps :P

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
