Nice... APEC race 6... I looked at getting those in GOLD, I still may yet, though I felt like they weighed a bit. Can you give an indication of the differnece between these and your RJRs?

Cheers

EDIT... Are those 17s or 18s?

funnily enough i thought they would be heavier than the RJRs but i think they might be around the same weight just by feeling both rims without tyres.

when i recieved the wheels the box said 11kgs which was the wheel the box the caps and the packing. so thats not too bad.

there 17" mate

i reckon they will look 1000 times beeter once i get the beast lowered.

pix dont look nearly as good as when up close to the car.

pix dont do them justice.

I have seen these wheel around, nice buy, look good.

Cant help but think 18s would look even fatter though, but weight starts becoming an issue then and they are already reasonably heavy.

I would love to get rid of my 15" pieces of animal faeces in favour of a slick new set of 17" or 18s and low profile tires. Unlucky i dont have 2k to spare at the moment :(

Even facelift Toyota alloys look better than my current mags HAHA.

And yes, even my wheels would look better with the vehicle lowered, just pick up a set of King Springs, super low. As mentioned, they can be acquired with labour for sub 400.

Having had a previous set of 17's, although handling better I prefer the 16's over creature comforts and noise levels, the 17's are too noisy and ride the bumps firmer, but grip better. You gotta comprimise. Nice set of rims btw Eddy, black rims dont suit red cars that much.

Noticed you got maxxis tyres, I'm using them at the moment very impressed with them for the price although there **** in the wet there great in the dry.

I think the current corolla in general leaves a bit to be desired in the wet.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
