My Girlfiend that was driving, is ok but rattled, has some bad seat beat bursing and a rub on her nose from air bag. Bit stiff so glad nothing worse happened. Just shows how good corolla saftey is. Person driving other car had broken ribs and is ok now too.

Found out today that car is a total loss. Still waiting on insurance to payout. Have to get quotes on new car.

Japan (1) - Europe (Nil) :lol:

I'm actually quite suprised that none of the remaining panels on the Rolla were not buckled or falling off. I've seen some examples where the front of the car had been hit and the doors and roof panels (which were not touched by the crash) had been damaged due to the design of the body to absorb shock - it was a VS Commodore.

Good to hear no one got hurt - although I must say if it happend to my Corolla and it wasn't my fault, I would've ensured the bloke's broken ribs weren't caused by the crash, but rather by the owner of the Sportivo, if you know what I mean.. :ph34r:

Take Care!

Crash happened on cross road. Sportivo going straight thru intersection. Green Light driving 50 km (SA speed limit). Merc Coming from other direction, wanting to turn right. Didn't give way and crashed into front drivers side fender and tried to drive across front of sportivo. Car will be auction by RAA (Adelaide SA) not sure where it's going.

Group buy at the auction???????

yeah group buy lol

id love the door trims and good condition panels same colour as mine then could go all out and custom paint either mine or the others.

good to see no one was dramaticly injured mate.

and im seriously impressed with the crumple zones in the rolla wouldnt have thought it was that strong. but looks to have come off better than the merc.

      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.
