Before yas flame me for not gettin a Hilux understand i did test drive a lotta vans.. price power and comfort the iload won hands down for me.

Anyways i paid cash outright so i own it like my Sportivo it's a nice feeling to actually own both my drives for the first time in my life tongue.gif

It's a Turbo Diesel tons of grunt smoooth to drive, Will be perfect for the business.

She's only got 200k on the clock so far but im keen to start putting my mark on her. I found this piccy on the net by TBG88 and it's got the loins stirrin!


Prolly wont lower it that far! but just got the windows fully tinted to the darkest on sides and back shopping for a nice mags and then will see about dropping it a few inches. ok maybe more then a few biggrin.gif







As time goes by i'd like to see if chip mods and turbo mods can be done it's got a pretty sexy exhaust system thanx to the turbo.

Hell yeah, Hyundai has come leaps and bounds... considering the i45 is outselling the Aurion on a national scale should have Toyota shaking in their jocks. Cant wait to see the arrival of their two FR sports cars that have been in the US for the last year or two.

Looks like some DIY fiberglass or plexi eyelids are first on the cards! should make an easy and impressive first mod :spiteful:

Jeesus! for real? i can see why they would be outselling.

I had a real good look and sit in an i45 too while i was there and was very impressed. It's very hard to fault it anywhere for the price.

They had this amazing green 2 door sports car there in the showroom at the time. Left hand drive but sexy as hell!

I love the idea of some eyelids! i'm onto it :D

Hows your angeleyes commin along? Ive got a set of CCF's sitting hear from carmate. Was temped to to fit em up for a look. They seem better in direct sunlight then the LED's. This KIT is quoted as being for a Beemer.... but fits the Aurion 99% perfect.

Hyundai has come a long way... but remember, although they make reliable and reasonably good looking cars - bang for buck and decent power, they haven't made anything astonishingly power and practical since they 97 - 00 excel, and the Getz with the 1.6L engine...

They have the looks and the style down pat - they need to start focussing on making a powerful motor to match up into a kick ***** sports car...

IMO anyway :P

They've done that already, they just don't sell it here yet. Go look up the Genesis, and be amazed at how much Hyundai have advanced.

Still don't like the iSore though....

Re Eyelids, i saw one of your vans last night, seems the parker is up the top of that light, so you may have to relocate it or replace with LED and use ali tape under the eyelids to reflect the LED light down to the front edge of the lid... maybe?

Your right mate

looks s**t tbh when its on :P spoils the look with 2 diff col lights, i'd be happy to just cover it :D

I have a pet peev, and thats when you see oncomming cars @ night with 2 different coloured lights.. It always looks odd to me.

But i recon your right with some reflective tape under it would just deflect the parkers down and still light up.

It looks alot better than the wheels that were there before

Cheers Ron, It's a work Van and sorta takes second priority to the sportivo. But I do own them both outright and have prolly bigger plans for the van eventually :)

However! I did say I was going install a DPchip and I did! The boost in torque is more than noticeable. Still playing around with settings. 1-10

Coupled with the custom free flow X-force SS exhaust it's easily 20% faster than my mates exact van. First gear is much of a muchness, prolly due to i'm wheel spinning most of it, but once we hit second im pulling away fast.

So the torque is turning straight into hp @ the wheels. For such a small addon and a pretty simplistist fueler idea it adds easy-to-get power.

I do a lotta hway runs and the extra grunt is very nice to have.

Also currently working on some custom DIY DRLS. Using Cree Superflux's.

Thanks Cam

The iloads really do rock hard. looking hard for a decent body kit and a Grand Starex interior.

just in the middle of upgrading the Dash instrument lights.

The army green is such a cheap turnoff so doing a led swap to blue.

I'll try this for a month or so then maybe try orange :D

Pulled the dash down to the bare PCB green LEDS standard.

I'm cheaping out and using LED's off this real.

Halfway done the blue lookin way better

This mod is finished :) Very happy with the results.

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
