Hi all!!

I live in South Bangkok ATM and want mods for my Aurion for when I return to Australia!!!!

I have looked attbe FAQ and been to rstyle @ MBK center 4f room 32 and honestly there over priced for forang!! And are mostly fakes I have also gone to chan chai electronics for the sat nav

Can anyone Please advise where to buy real high quality mods that fit gsv40r in Thailand

I require:

DVD sat nav player

Brembo brakes

Air filters

Body kits

Not sure what the story is but almost every car in Thailand has brembo brakes whether it's a camry or corolla, Honda jazz or hilux at first I thought they where a plastic cover but I walked up to a few at secon square today and there solid as the xxxxx I got lol

Please help! And if possible email me

Thank you

I know some people will know because 9/10 cars in Thailand are full of modifications

Sorry I forgot to mention in detail regarding rstyle its hard enough typing on an iPhone with it's unpredictable autocorrect. There grills where very low quality and k&n looked fake there prices where for the foreigner market 1 grill that caught my attention was almost $300 and had no warranty they also refused to haggle a price maybe because I'm an Aussie this is so common in Thailand!! even I speak Thai if your white u have 0% chance of a realistic price! There struts looked so dodgy! And they tried to tell me the grills are genuine Toyota so I'll never go back there again!

At chan chai they had all the camry DVD sat navs however the operating system was quick! They looked far from impressive with a terrible black graphical interface.

I've heard of some places around from the locals but could never find them.

A taxi driver took me to one place that had the best customer service ever in Thailand!!! He had 1000s of kits for camrys but refused to sell to me lol because if I took it back to aus and it didn't fit it would cost me heaps to send back and he would 100% refund but didn't want "me" to take that chance.

Also is the Thai camry the same body gsv40r as an aurion if so will the brake calipers and pads fit?

Do you remember where?

Sorry I can help with stores for the stuff you require. All the Thai people I know aren't car people so that doesn't help either :(

that sounds like a good deal on the tien suspension. maybe you could get their contact details as i am interested in having my car lowered in the future... anyone know how much installation would be for the full kit???

IMO that's going to be te killer my cars in Aus probably an extra 500 to 1k for install and wheel alignment after. I might attempt to do it myself.

I'm just so surprised by the distributors profit in Aus!

      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.
