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.

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.

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
