Hey All,

Was just wondering, if anyone here has taken apart there front doors? As well as their rear doors? The reason, is because I want to change my front speakers & Sound deaden it heavily, & my rear doors, pretty much just to sound deaden.

Now I was told that, removing the front doors, on a ZRE is harder than it seems, but I don't actually believe it to be so.

So if anyone can help me out, and tell me what I should be doing...

- I have already sound deadens my parcel shelf, I just now need to do just my front & rear doors...

Behind the handle there is a cover, take it off, you will find a screw. Pop out the window controls and disconnect the wires. Then pry the door trim from the bottom, you should see two indents where you can put your fingers, then just pull towards you, then gradually, increase the spacing between your hands and making your way up both sides of the door, the door will eventually come loose. Then once all clips are removed, pull door trim up and wallah!

Thanks for that, I guess I will have to give it a try, and when done i'll throw some pictures up :)

Also, the way I learnt to do it, I found a thread about changing the speakers. Do a search and skim through a couple of the threads and you should find pictures to help you out. When I get home, I'll try to find it and send you the link :D

Well Today, I went to the Panel & Mechanic place, of where my car is being repaired, they let me play around in the doors, but also said that they are not held responsible (I accepted obviously...) & Well, it's actually very scary doing it the first time everything is friggen stiff and bricks, and I finally took apart my drivers door :) however I wasn't allowed to put sound deadening inside, or do anything to it :( The bad thing is when I put all of it back together, it doesn't seem right? It seems like everything is TOO LOOSE now?

Yeah, I didn't care for my car being quieter (Except for the engine, I want it to have ZERO SOUND in the cabin, but thats for another thread)

I'm just confused as to weather or not, my door is fine or not :(

I'll find out 2moro, when I go in again to inspect me car :)

Just getting back with an update, today I pryed my driver's door back, but I think I ****** it hard... since now, even with the dynamat all over the metal side of the door, and on the plastic it's self, I get a rattling noise from the window button's... and it sounds like a plastic on plastic rattling...

& I'm more than 100% sure I put all the clips back in place, mind you, it was friggen hard to take off!

It's okay Pete :)

I finally MASTERED my door :)

Double layer sound deadening, one of the actual door metal & one on the plastic door trim just to make 100% sure, and OMFG, I never knew Toyota used GOOD QUALITY Cheap products! I'm seriously amazed at what it sounds like...

Next step is a bit of a tough one, seeing as my parcel shelf already pushes the bass for me, but should I? (Do I really?) need to change my front speakers...

& other than that, even though the bass is barely enough, I want parcel shelf speakers that fully sound like Subwoofers :) (or even a hint close to it...)

Save me the hassle of having to buy a new sub and only get annoyed because I blew it up, because I'm a bass hungry idiot who cranks the bass so high, that my car does not have enough DC to power it :(

      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.
