ive got mine secured down with velcro in the boot... just need the "non furry" side of the velcro underneath the box, and it grips very well on the boot matt.

amps are located under passenger and driver seats.. :)

Jockey strap tied down to the body of the car above the wheel arch (hole cut in side carpet for strap to stick through). Doesn't even move... even on mountain runs.

yerpp im the same, i used the widest strongest grip velcro i could find. my VIBE Sub has carpet on the enclosure so just stuck the velcro back to back and it has never moved a MM. LOl ask paradigm what happens when you leave your sub to float about in your boot :P

As for the amps i have my bolted to board cut the shape of the back of the boot, covered in carpet to match the rest of the boot. have a look at my gallery for some images.

Lucky you guys had success with velcro. With mine, even with velcro covering most of the underside, it still managed to move and even pull the carpet with it.

ive acctually had to blank off parts of my velcro with electrical tape as it was pretty much impossible to move out of the way with all velcro contacting the matt... the sub box i have also wedges nicely under the frame in the boot so its very secure.

Whoa really lol? :S well i also velcro'd the carpet to the board and the amp rack sits on it firmly too so it can't move tooo far at all. You have to give the sub a fair old yank and really reef on it to make it budge when your trying to get the damm thing out. love it!

I don't actually use anything to hold mine down, the box sits firmly on the carpet and doesn't move even in decently earnest cornering, and the amp is wedged between the box and the back seats.

Then again, I do have a ported twin 12" box, so it has a lot of weight and a lot of surface area to increase friction, and if I'm going to do really serious chucking into corners then I'll probably take the box out anyway to help with weight.

      Is the Hybrid FWD download capacity on towbar an error?

      Hi all, We managed to snag a fwd Cruiser recently from a dealer. Great car but I’m reading about the tow capacity and towball download capacity and it’s 480kg for towing and 50kg download limit. This seems extremely conservative. The FWD Petrol version is 800kg tow and 85kg download. Pretty disappointed in these numbers as I added the tow hitch for $1200 just so I can add a bike rack but based on the 50kg download limit I’d be hard pressed to put 2 bikes and the rack on it. Any ideas why these numbers are so low? Download limits are usually around 10-12% of tow capacity so maybe they just haven’t considered this?

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Thanks Ashley. Got lucky last time too as it was cylinder 4 last time a coil failed. The luck will eventually run out tho...

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Your are fortunate that cylinder 6 is easily accessible on the right hand side of Bank 2 which is the one closest to the front of the vehicle/radiator. Cylinder layout for the 2GR-FE is in the following URL: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/location-of-cylinder-6-v6.470305/

      Power Steering Pump Leaking

      Yes repair cost would be so high it would be more than the car is worth. I wouldn't put an additive in the engine to stop an oil leak, but that's just me. If it plugs up gaps what's it doing to the rest of the engine with fine mesh filters etc. If the leak isn't bad I'd just leave it but make sure you are checking the oil every week, which you should be doing anyway without leaks.

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Hi All, Got the above engine code driving home tonight. I know ignition coil F is cylinder 6 and it's on the front bank, just want to confirm with the brains trust that it's the cylinder on front bank on the passenger side? Been combing the workshop manual but just can't find where it shows the cylinder numbers.

      Major Oil Leak

      Hi Jack. So sorry to hear that mate. If you can see metal flakes on the dipstick then I'd say the engine is toast. The VVTi system is very sensitive to low oil pressure/lack of oil. The metal flakes are most likely bearing material, either from the cams or the crankshaft. Either way you'll need a new engine or to rebuild it. Did you have the oil cooler line or the VVTi oil line replaced with full metal ones?

      Fuel gauge wander

      Hi guys. I have a 2002 Toyota Coaster and have changed my fuel tank sender and when I drive the fuel gage needle moves up and down about 1/8th of a tank depending on if I am accelerating or decelerating. I can’t personally remember if it used to do this before I changed the faulty sender or not. Just today I removed the instrument cluster and changed out the caps on the two boards for the fuel/temp and the tachometer gauge sets and reinstalled but no difference. I checked the orientation of the sender, however it can only go in one way or the screws don’t line up. Not sure if this slosh wander of the gauge is normal for the Coaster as it doesn’t do it in my Hiace. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions?

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊
