Nice Peter. The mods look very professional and the cars a gem.

Better get it out of your driveway. Gosford's weather prediction is rain, I believe.

Cheers Tom

Hi Guys,

Ok picked up a front strut bar second hand from ebay and fitted it yesterday. Took it for a drive in the mountains up here and must say it does make a little difference in the way the car turns into corners. Cant wait to see the difference once it is lowered and a rear bar is fitted :D

Finally got around to getting some lowered springs fitted, been a while coming :lol:

Front doesnt seem to have dropped as much as the rear, not sure if thats normal with king springs or not but regardless im happy with the outcome. The handling has improved alot over standard springs, much more responsive to steering input through corners and not a bumpy a ride as I thought it would be. Next mod on the list will be a rear sway bar to finish off the suspension mods.

Cheers

Peter

Looks good Peter...congrats :clap:

the rear looks spot on but the front does look a little high,not sure how Kings are suppose to sit but you would think at least equal to the rear if not a smidge lower (lotta weight up front)

Pedders springs are lower at the front than the rears.

Cheers

Small update finally had the rear sway bar fitted today after having it floating around in the boot for a few weeks :D Couldn't find anyone with ramps for a lowered car so took it to my mechanic and he fitted it for me free of charge which was awesome. First impressions are great it ties the rear of the car up and compliments the front strut bar but I haven't put it through any hard cornering as yet.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      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.
