Just got the call from the Dealership. They have recived my Stivo :D

Now they said that it would be ready by Friday afternoon, and as usual I said no, I want it Wednesday Afternoon. We are only waiting on Ming to do the paint protection and the under chassis rubber thingy. Hope fully they can get it all done for Thursday but they will let me know in an hour or so :)

It's booked in Tuesday next week for the window tinting, and later that week im in the tyre shop to see whats i want to get :)

So here starts the countdown......

Well I Got my Stivo 2 days EARLY!!!!!

I called up yesterday and was talking about the rear skirt and the dealer said " oh you car just got rolled into the showroom" I was like ...WHAT!!???¿¿ I'll be there in 1 hour to pick it up....BEPP ....BEEP

So I took the train down to the dealership and picked it up !!!

YIPPIE!!!!

Hit lift from the first set of lights back infront of the dealership and gave them a wave goodbye :)

Have run the engine in fairly normal/hard so far have hit lift at least 10 times and gone to 160 so far...along with alot of normal and slow driving also...but never keeping the revs constant for too long :)

Thx for all the well wishes guys :D

It's been a great last few days with the new ride. Have taken a couple of mates for spins and they have all been more than impressed :P

Lucio - yeah mate running it in hard has proven to be good. yesterday it was raining all day ...hitting lift in 2nd in a straight line makes the wheels spin ......so i found out :P

Have clocked up over 500 K's so far ...and with today and tomorrow looking good...its off for some more rides.

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT CAR TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!

      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.
