I was searching the net and came across this picture (attached). I reckon it looks pretty nice, makes the entire dash console more dark. Thought it was carbon fibre at first but then i don't think it is.

On topic, I like the new look 05 sportivo console better then the 03-04 sportivo consoles. Has that pattern in it making it more "grey" then pure shiny silver.

Looks like it's got bubbles in it are you sure someone hasn't just used sticky (carbon look) vinyl crap that you use to cover books with and covered their console with it.

Nah it's not bubbles, it's just reflection of light that makes it seem like that from the photo :)

Nice look, not sure if it would be boring after a while, it does match the entrie interior better though.

I think the current Sportivo facia finish breaks up the dark interior a little.

Thats a dodgy install of those aftermarket modules though.

Hmmm maybe, but it looks VERY shiny (especially down area the stick). It just looks a little too smooth for it to be contact IMO and i couldn't believe anyone could be farked using contact to do it. I found it a big enough pain in the **** having to do my books when i was at school!

Theres a place in Wooloongabba here in Brisbane that does that but I do not know the name of it (but I will find out).

What they have is a Carbon Fibre look 'sticker' type thing that peels off like the old stickers we used to use on our model cars we'd build as kids, where you leave it sit in a water solution then peel away the backing.

They are then left with this 'carbon fibre' look film on top of the water and then they lower whateever it is they want to coat into the solution.

Apparently they can do it to anything on any type of substance...

Will find out more info and keep you updated

There's a mob in Brissy called Modicoat. They can do CF, chrome etc etc on any plastic surface. I'm currently looking into it myself.

I think that looks fugly... Too messy... I would've made up panels for the handsets to sit in and run the wires down the inside of the dash...

As for the colours, i like...

      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.
