Hello Toyota Owners!

I have never owned a car that wasn't a Toyota, my first car was an RA23 Celica with 18RG twin cam and Twin Webers! 2nd was RA28 Celica with the motor from my RA23, after that it was stock T18, AE82 Corolla with 4AGE, boring Camry, boring 4AF Corolla, and my trusty Hilux 2.8D which I will never sell.. my latest addition the GT4 Celica 90 model, is by far my favorite Toyota, I will post some pics of the RA's and GT4 when I upgrade. I have some Turbo questions for you guys. Looking forward to meeting up in NSW or ACT for a cruise with like minded people. :)

Thanks

Daniel

Sorry mate... mine was one of those 89 model box shaped camrys with 3FS, no fuel injection, no mags and auto! sold 4AGE corolla and bought camry when first child was coming (big mistake, should kept corolla) I LOVE the camry Sportivos, they look hot and fast and I'd have one over a Falcon or Commodore anyday. :) Yours looks nice too.

Venus Red with centreline mags, six point roll cage and racing harness, way over the top. The owner before me took it to summer nats, it was featured in a mag supposedly, the number plate was RA23.. :) I will post a pic when I find them.

Yeah right. What year was that?

Mine had work done on the internals before I bought it but I have no idea what. Sounded awesome with the Webbers, my neighbours loved me ;)

sorry to upset the Camry owners! If you saw my box of crap camry you'd know why I called it boring, I cut its roof off and drove it in the bush until the sump found a rock ledge. hahaha I like this blue one here... the V6's fly! My RA23 was a 76..

I tried selling it, noone would buy it back then in the late 90's... handed it in... some lucky bugger has it I guess.

That plate would be worth a mint.

Indeed! Mine was a 76 as well, definitely had some get up and go. And loud!

Yours didn't happen to have 2 kill switches under the drivers seat?

It was orange when I got mine (a bit patchy), dude who I sold it to painted it dark blue. Then who knows.

Was an ACT car then NSW.

No kill switches in my old one, had one of those red keys for the battery in the boot to cut power. Mine ended up at the tip after being smashed up by a female I let drive the car.. very sad day. I let too many parts go to the tip.. I could bash my head against a wall whenever I think about it.

      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.
