Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Woke up this morning to find my stivo had been key'ed, 2 deep gashes in the passenger side about 10cm each in length.

Was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some Cascade Blue 8P4 Mica Touch up paint in Aus/Melb? I've called Toyota and they only have paint for cars that have been manufactured in Aus, but the stivo was made in South Africa? I've checked the net and it seems I have to outsource touchup paint overseas.

Yeah, 2 deep gashes, right down to the primer. Don't know why they would do such a thing.

I suppose, I'm gathering quotes from panel beaters to see if I can get my door resprayed.

fukers strikes again .....

oh well, i feel sorry for you dude ....

If the scratch is deep then it might be better to repaint the whole door .... no touch up paint will bring that away.

Been rubbing anyone the wrong way trung? Thats painful man. I also dont think touch up paint will do the trick. Like tomee said, probli have to do your whole door. Hopefully the color match is perfect

Using touch up paint on them will stand out like dog balls, when getting the door sprayed they will have to blend other door/gaurd aswell so it all blends in.

A word of warning regarding the Autobarn paint. I have the same coloured Sportivo and got some paint made up and even matched via code and with paint to my duco and it was so different i threw it in the bin! I would have it professionally done if funds are there!

Thanks for the comments,

Something interesting.. I used some of my mates Meguiars Scratch X on it, worked on and around the scratch for about two hours and it actually turned out not bad, the scratch has faded a little, primer paint isn't as obvious. From a few metres away, you probably can't notice it, but I have bad eye sight :P. It's a good enough look for now, until I get some funds and do a proper respray.

When I got my eyelids done I asked for a tin of paint. So I got 8p4 blue aswell and the eyelids came really close to the bonnet so it's why I still got the tin. Used it for a couple of stone chips too from trucks and sall good

      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

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
