Is the Toyota Owners Club, an actual functioning car club ? If so how much is membership ? and if it's not, then it bloody should be.

I think it would become a great club, with state branches, holding show 'n' shines, burnout comps, track days, dyno days, etc etc etc.

All members get a discount at services and stores across their home state, club sticker, keyring and a club shirt, (shirts should cover sizes including 4XL, for us big boys :D ). It was just a thought i had, and for an extra fee, you get your bonus 'forum' pack. Using the existing silver membership scheme. Club fees, would be enough to cover the forum fees, as well as the running of the club.

Just an idea.

TOC is a web based car club that has fee paying members and non fee paying members.

We are not a 'functioning car club' in the sense that we do not have a weekly TOCAU meeting and events, although many of us have taken advantage of the contacts we have made through the forum for regular activities.

In QLD, mnost of us usually meet weekly (see Meets & Events) and I know the Sydney and Melbourne guys try to as often as they can as well.

Read the forums for a bit longer and you'll get the idea of what we are about...

Welcome...

Cheers

A few forum members are also members of "functioning" car clubs, such as the Toyota Car Club here in Queensland, that do have regular monthly meetings, a constitution, various social and competitive events and discounts on various products and services.

If you also have a look at toymods.org.au, they are a primarily internet-based club, but do have regular meetings and events, and they're based in Sydney. Again, some of the members of this forum have appeared in the toymods forums, as we have in other forums of interest.

One of the fantastic things for me personally is that its easy to link up with Toyota owners all over the country, both in organised and more casual ways.

Hope that helps.

Just to correct you on this

TOYMODS is a fully fledged car plub with a constitution, elected representatives, monthly meeting, etc. They are only based in NSW as it's cheaper in public liability insurace. Which is a requirement if you are going to hold events such as car shows and the like.

The web forum for Toymods has blown up beyond expectation but this is not translated to fee paying members...

At the moment TOCAU is internet based. This part of the club is only a year old and is building a firm foundation for a popular club.

This is the 4th club i have set up and like the other it will grow just like the others.

Give it time. But for the time being.. enjoy it here! ;)

      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.
