First off hope everyone has been behaving themselves while I've been off working lol

So the SX6 has been going strong...strut brace fitted.....K&N continuing to amuse me and upset other motorists...king springs in and riding nicely....Now have a few bits coming from overseas to add, but now I'm back in brissie and can get back into modding the black beast i've struck a few walls.

1. Rotors are a bit worse for wear and have been machined once but i'm looking at replacing it all and giving it some extra stopping power. I've looked through the threads and opinions are divided (as always) but i'm sensing the general vibe is replace the rotors with original sized ones and use good pads?

2. Can't for the life of me find (might be having a girl look) what the offset is for aftermarket rims? Got the standard ones on at the moment but the tyres are on their way out so same as the brakes I figure its time for rims. I am thinking 19's with some good rubber but want to be sure of the fitment before I start forking over the cash.

3. Reputable Brisbane roll cage installer. I know some won't agree but i'm back onto plans to run it at sprints in the future for something different and want a good, road legal cage slotted in.

Any help would be appreciated as always....Good to back.....And no the car wasn't flood damaged :) Sat in the garage for 4 days while we bbq'd and drank beer and watched it all on TV :whistling:

cheers TOCAU!!!!

You could do that, but for a good bang for your buck mod considering you plan on taking yours to the track (would only cost a couple to a few hundred more than getting DBA4000's for the fronts), you can follow Steve's findings:

Someone else will have to chime in on that one. I reckon SuperDave might know. From what I've heard, you can't exactly have track approved and road legal at the same time, therefore meaning if you have it road legal, in the end you will only be able to enter road legal categories. I'm not sure, I'm just saying what I think I heard.

I'm about to change my brake upgrade for a 2nd time this weekend which means I will have my semi-track capable brake setup for sale shortly - it's only been on the car for about 2 months. It includes new rebuilt twin piston calipers, larger rotors and QFM A1 pads. It pulls you up VERY nicely.

I've found them very well balanced. PM sent shortly.

      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.
