Hi all,

just thought I'd say a quick hello. Have been a member for awhile and picked up some great tips and tricks from the posts. Some really good reads and great rides throughout. Thought I might be a bit more interactive and share my ride seeing there seems to be some great people in here.

I currently have an 07 Aurion Sportivo and purchased it a few years ago. I've had a couple of cars throughout my time and am surprisingly really happy with the Aurion. I say this only because i bought it as my "old mans family car" and didn’t think I would have it for that long or would buy something else for me to run around in. Dont worry, Im only 31 but have 2 little terrors and we sold a 1 series BMW and were looking for something bigger.

The toss up was between a Common-dore SV6 and the Sportivo and I must say I am extremely happy with the decision. Great drive and I highly recommend them for anyone that’s considering.

Im really surprised on the power available from standard and have done some minor “adjustments” over time. Considering a few more options, but who knows what will happen.

Current – 20’s,lowered, K&N replacement filter plus a couple of addons inside

Future – 10 or 15inch roof mounted DVD, darker Tint, maybe Varex exhaust, new kit, bonnet modifications, rear view camera, mini pivot shift light, Fixed mount for an iPad.

Anyway, thanks again for reading and keep up the great forum

Welcome mate...

Love your mods so far... If I may suggest, add white wall on your tyres, they will come out nice in contrast.

Maybe not my place to say it, but please be careful with the bonnet mods.. Not happy with the available ones out there.. :whistling:

Hey VF-X, Dude, your car looked soo nice with old rims....sorry to bring it up, just read your posts. The ride height looks perfect. Whats modified on the front bar? Looks so good. Where did you get the eyelids from?

Yeah, not 100% on the bonnet mods yet but air bags would be pretty sweet. How do you find the Varex mufflers?

Thanks..

Totally changed the front bottom bit, only minor difference thou. And the eye lids got it from Thailand.

The pic u have is ZR6XY's, and yes with airbags. U can ask him for more details.

Few numbers here are on Varex. It sounds pretty sweet. I believe there are more than a clip in youtube.

      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.
