I believe that Kyle Clews is now going to be racing the TRD Aurion in Aussie racing cars. He was in the commodore which had 100cc less than the aurion and was always challenging them, can't wait to see how much he will flog everybody in the Aurion! One of the best drivers out there, keep an eye out for him :D

All Aussie racers run the same 1300CC Yamaha engine and have since the start of last season. Performance from the 3 bodies is meant to be near the same however the Aurion is the largest and heaviest so has had to be tweaked to be as fast in a straight line but they now seem o be a tad quicker. Adam Gowans was the first main contender to drive the Aurion and after driving the falcon before the Aurion he said the Aurion especially with the larger aero kit is a lot more balanced and stable than the commie or flacon and kills them under brakes they don’t squirm around as much. Aurion also runs a different brake package due to its extra weight. Its amazing Kyle is still doing Aussie cars many champions win a championship or two and bail on it full time like Adam has and just come back for the odd round of fun here and there. Still the BEST racing I’ve ever seen!

Yes, well Kyle was running the older 1200cc engine in the commodore (same engine since 07), but it turned out that he didn't end up getting the aurion as he didn't quite have the cash, but he did get the 1300cc engine for the new season.

Lol yeah whilst the Aussie racing series is reasonable to run in there is no such thing as cheap motorsport. :P Is good to see more and more Switch to the Aurion Bodyshell though.

      Camry Hybrid. 4.2L/100km to 7.6L/100km

      Picked up a new SL in late Feb 2025. Currently 2,500km. Fuel consumption has gradually decreased from around 6 down to now around 4.9 with city and occasional country drives and I expect it will get better. The drivetrain eCVT works flawlessly with instant pickup. Overall, so far, it has surpassed my expectations! (having had company Camrys in the past). I'd changed from a 2017 CX5 Touring that averaged 9.5 to 10 in city driving.

      Engine Oil leak

      It is most likely either the oil cooler line or the VVTi oil pressure line. Only the engine oil cooler line is covered by Toyota's extended warranty.

      Sad day

      Have a read of the following thread which includes my post back in March 2022. Toyota Australia provides an extended warranty for this issue when this oil cooler line leaks. Phone Toyota Australia Customer Service 1800 869 682 who will ask for the VIN and maybe also the vehicle registration. They will give you a warranty claim number and details of the local dealership. Next step will be to contact that dealership for a repair booking and quote the warranty claim number. Your Aurion is not driveable and towing will be arranged by the dealership. Your outlay will be $0.00

      2022/23 Grande Cargo Barrier

      We have recently purchased a 2022 built 2023 model Grande and want to out a cargo barrier in. Toyota say that it can not be sold as the barrier only fit the gxl due to the panoramic sunroof (not truly panoramic as only half retracts). Anyhow, is it possible to put install the cargo barrier or is there an after market option available?

      Sad day

      Hi all just signed up, I have a Toyota 2011 Orion, yep the dreaded oil cooler lines, a hose blew, I had pulled up to a 99degree turn all was well , then 30 mtr up the road sounded like a truck was next to me then noticed it was my car rattling it’s ***** off, being not even 10mtr from my drive way I idled it into the drive way and oil was everywhere, i placed oil in the car as it read empty on the oil stick , had my partner start the car and wow it was pumping strait out of the hose it had a hole in it ,I turned it off strait away, and researched it, so disappointed I have owned Toyotas all my life and owned this pride and joy for allmost 3years iam second owner with around 212000 on the clock, I am replacing it with the upgraded lines but am know afraid it’s done some serious damage, as idle sounds fine but not game to give it a rev till it’s all fixed, I don’t understand, it states if leaking to return to Toyota, I had no leaks the hose blew a hole, the recall also says extended warranty and has no date or km, for the oil hoses , Am I say up **** creek with out a paddle ?? I will check log books to see when last serviced from Toyota and when recall was made. ??????

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll also try taking the key off the ring. After all, I've tried everything else from using extreme profanities, kicking and crying. What do I have left to lose? Ha ha 🤬🤣

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi Helen1234 I went the cheap option also from Ebay for my 2010 Hilux. It took multiple attempts to get mine to work but after the 4th or 5th time it did exactly what was supposed to happen. The instructions need to be followed perfectly and if you dont the fob will not learn the system. I was personally having the issue where the car thought I took the key out of the ignition because the key barrel is worn. I had to take my key off my key ring because the weight from my house key, canopy key and bottle opener where weighing down on the key when it was in the key barrel. Good luck, hope you get it to work
