Hi gang. Been a long time. Going through a divorce, losing Tarago keeping Camry.

Some may remember me posting a long time ago about a really annoying "Thrumming" noise coming through the cabin at 60 to 80 Kph and worse in sweeping turns.

I recently drove with the kids to Melbourne from Sydney and back.

The little 2.4 is great on the open road and the kids had the new roof mounted DVD player to keep them entertained.

By the time I got back to Sydney the noise was a lot worse and even causing the dash to vibrate.

I had the car serviced prior to the trip and got the all clear but to be fair to the place that serviced it it was not that bad at that time.

A mate had checked it out for me and as was also suggested on this forum, believed it to be the left wheel bearing.

There was no play so he said save up and we can do it.

Under the car, this being an ex Budget rental car with 95 K on it when it was given to me, so it has had a hard life, the subframe on the lhs is damaged and probably from a hard curb smacking so that probably caused the initial damage.

Also the tyres I had put on only 12K ago are nearly toast, even though I had a wheel alignment.

Not happy with that.

Anyway, last week put the car in with John at APS in Richmond. 3 hours later, wow what a gem!

This car is whisper silent and I am kicking myself for living nearly a year with that racket.

They kept the outer race for me.

It was cipped and pitted in a few areas the hardening well and truly gone.

Only did the lhs and that popped me 300.

Well worth it.

Also had water in the boot around the jack and some in the spare wheel well.

Stripped out the boot lining last weekend, climbed in with torch and had number one son hose the buggery out of the rear window, tail lights, wheel arches etc.

Could see no water getting in.

I just applied silicone to a few bits that looked suspect, checked the seal and drilled a hole into the low point of the panel where the jack goes. Will keep you posted if you like.

      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.
