Hey guys

I'm very new to the world of aurions (just purchased a 2011 sportive sx6 white) and i was looking at the cigarette compartment and seeing as i don't smoke i find it completely useless. Have you guys done any cool mods to make it not such a waste of space. Ive looked around and i can't find anything in any other forums. Please help.

Thanks in advance

I've found mine a very useful place to store the remote for my subwoofer as the cable runs out through the back

A mate of mine has a Calai. the Cig compartment is about the same size and lengh etc, he put a oil preasure , water level and voltmeter gauge in there. I like the idea myself too.

Thanks guys for your answers. I was kinda hoping someone had ripped it out and put a drawer in or something. Might have to keep investigating that one.

I replaced the green bulb with a white one, so I could see my coins in a nicer light. Oh, and I plugged my iPhone charger into the lighter socket. Some hardcore modding right here.

Haha yeah clearly you guys are not as concerned about the waste of space as I am lol. Maybe something will appear in the future although a white light in there does sound like a nice start

I use it as a coin tray (lined removable ashtray with cloth to prevent rattles) and if I need more room, I remove the ashtray itself. Didn't even bother putting an LED in there because honestly, it's not something that anyone or even myself would notice.

Don't really see the point in modifying that area into something more useful unless you want to put switch panel behind there or something. The panel above that seems to be somewhere that would be more useful for turning into something.

I removed the cigarette lighter and used a bit of plastic ti fill in the gap and put a switch in so I could disable the remote start function if car is off getting serviced or something.

      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.
