Hi guys.

Recently my beloved rolla has developed a nasty rattle that occurs around an indicated 3000rpm. Have taken the exhaust off from cat back and found that apart from it being really really loud ( of course i know no exhaust would do that ) the rattle seems to have vanished. After that i reconnected the exhaust except the rear muffler and i still had the rattle which makes me believe its the resonator. Having not much money ( uni student ) replacing the resonator with another stock one is out of the question. I've found a mild steel hotdog style muffler on ebay that i can get a friend to weld in. Other option is to get the resonator cut out completely, however i have done some research and found that any car is super raspy without a resonator. Would love to get info from other people from past experiences etc. Oh heres the ebay link for reference.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MILD-STEEL-HOTDOG-MUFFLER-12-LONG-2-DIAMETER-/160579870197?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25634e5df5#ht_648wt_702

I'd check the heat-shields first before singling out the resonator. Mine developed a rattle at very similar revs and it turned out the upper heat shield on the cat had snapped all but one of its welds.

The heat shields look fine, nothing seems loose at all in the engine bay. Just gave everything exhaust related a quick tighten up ( excluding manifold to block bolts ). When i drive it the noise seems to come from the front half of the car. Bloody frustrating. Oh well i've just bought the ebay item anyways, my stock resonator is in pretty bad nick, would hurt to replace it anyway. Thanks for the help

Nah not the engine bay heat shield, the ones that sit above the exhaust and the cat in the transmission tunnel

Sorry, my mistake in replying. When i took the exhaust off i took the oppurtunity to check all the heat shields, engine bay and underbody. Although they are slightly rusty ( as you would expect of a car this age ) all heat shields look okay. Will get the exhaust shop to check it out when it goes in next week.If not then i might borrow some car ramps off a friend and spend a day under there with a flashlight.

      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.
