That kind of behaviour is only for Mc Donalds car parks. I am planning to install most of the crap i have piled up in my study over the school holidays. The car should handle like a bull in water after it and maybe a little more response and a tiny bit of powahhhh

Well here is the things i have been doing to the car

Well i might as well give a little up date on what has been going on with the car. Decided to finally install the polyurethane bushes i had laying around for almost 2.5 years and put on all the other parts i had laying around also which included a wheel bearing and hard sway bar links, dump pipe.

Well lets say that to take off the control arms that look like they have never been removed at all in 22 years was a bit of a bitch. Took off one nut and then gave up as it was too hard without a rattle gun. So went to take off the dump pipe and come up against the rounded nut on the front pipe that made me quit last time and put it all back together as it was a bitch. Well i hwill try again this time lol Well, that nut is still rounded and on the car hahah, it is made from adamantium i think, it is just soooo hard and in such a bad spot to access. So gave up for that day after installing a OMP Steering wheel a friend gave in in exchange for man love........... Its a fake though lol, but he told me he loved me!!!!!! I feel robbed.

Second day had rattle gun

Well this particular rattle gun decided it was not strong enough to remove the nuts on its own, so i had to go to every single nut to try and crack it then use the gun which worked out. Till we could not remove the arm as we did not know we had to remove the cross engine brace, more swearing later they were all off, and found the sway bar links were like jelly but had hard core replacements anyway. The bushes were stuffed and one was even not sitting right in the control arm, slightly distorted and stuff. Also found that my front right drive shaft boot was ripped wide open after looking at all this grease on the side of the engine. So tried to take off the split pin in the him thingy to start taking it out and realised it was also 22 years old and rusted on...RAGGEEEEE... so that is stil on the car.

Then saw my cusco underarm brace has indeed hit the ground and has some large scrapes out of it and was covered in coolant front eh HFH that i was going to change with the dump pipe. That was the end of day two as had to help a friend with his newly aquitred corolla with 4AGE goodness and also incredible stink that gave me a rash on my hands (seriously)

Dropped off control arms at South Melbourne pedders and was pleased with their help and good pricing that most pedders are not know for, would highly recommend them to anyone and they have a drift car and mad series 5 RX7.

My main question is the new sway bar links i have put on. They do not sit completly flush against the sway bar on either side of the mounting holes with the picture shown being the best fit. Does it matter if the top bolt and washer is not completly flush agaist the sway bar and the bolt a little crooked? As i do not think it should sit like that but might be due to my car being a lot lower than usual Any help?????

I also managed to drop the control arm onto my index finger jamming it onto the jack.. I literally thought it broke instantly but is just really badly bruised. Also need to take off the control arms because i need to put the cross engine brace on first. GRRRRR

Didnt we remove it in this order?

1. sway end links

2. ball joint bolt things

3. cusco brace

4. stock brace thing

5. control arms

isnt it logical to do the same in reverse order? I think that brace was stopping us from taking them off, so i dont think youll be able to get it back on again if you put it on first...

      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.
