The factory fujitsu ten CD player in my car finally carked it a few days ago, been meaning to replace it for a while so it was a good opportunity..

So I got this to replace it ^_^

Pretty good I thought, has bluetooth + USB - plugged straight in and used the same bracket holes

Only now the dash trim wont fit back without some dremel help i'm afraid

Don't really want to cut up my trim but i'm quite liking this HU...

So after spending some quality time with the headunit - I reckon i'll keep it, looks a lot cleaner than every aftermarket HU out there and the layout of the controls makes sense. Hate how the volume control is almost always on the LEFT on most HU's.

haha thanks Jus but i went to the wreckers and picked up a spare dash console thingo, broken though as most are unfortunately but the colour is a close match to the SX black.

All need now is someone to lend me some time with a dremel tool :P Anyone??

Took a few pics after a fruitful day at the wreckers

Picked up a few rear swaybar brackets to replace the one that has been broken for about a month lol.

This is new, BMC brace - might need to adjust the position a bit but it's fine for now.

Also found a custom dashmat! Wasn't too dirty when I found it too which was nice

I didn't have any adhesive velcro strips or whatever. Glue is unreliable anyway, cableties ftmfw

I really should get that lip back on...

Looking good Dave! front looks a bit empty without the lip though.

Can you feel much difference with the brace in?

..or maybe you should buy mine Jaay? :P

Thanks Jus ^_^ , I know right?? I have a fresh lip that I got off Alister (thx bro!) but I dont want to smash off the new one like i did the old one. There's so many bloody driveways that i'm sometimes forced to enter dead straight.. Life is easer without a lip but it looks ****.

The Brace: It's ok I guess but I still have rubber lines so any benefit is really muted right now. Pedal is a poofteenth firmer. Maybe lol. SS braided lines - one day, one day ;)

Dont you have braided lines?

jaay - If someone offered me a ****load ( and I mean lots ) of cash I would consider it but noone is that silly for a Corolla lol.

Also i'd have no car and there's only one other car i'd want as a replacement and it's out of reach for me right now

GT86

Fair enough then!

I think $1500 is pretty reasonable :P

Lol jokes

What would your replacement car be? Just curious.

braided lines make a fair difference, would i change them again? probably not...

Ive got those lips and a 626 lip i probably wont use, youre free to have them back if you want Dave!

I would take that once i pull all the performance bits out lol

probably a camry or magna. something cheap and reliable. I need to recuperate funds ;)

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I just had my Aurion ATX 2010 in for service today and received a call regarding oil cooling pipe has a prick hole and car is deemed not safe to drive till replaced. Service department bloke said they are taking photos and sending of for Warranty and awaiting a reply if it will be replaced at their cost or mine.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.

      Brake issues with 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid

      Hi all, trying to get some opinion/feedback on what I recently observed on my Corolla Cross. It happened on the last two trips where the car made noise, I feel some vibration/rattling when I was braking. It lasts for 1 or 2 seconds. I kind of felt the tires skid but I am not sure if that's what actually happened. And I, again kind of, felt that it was the right side tires. Or at least the noise coming from the right side. But it could be just because I was driving and obviously sit on the right side of the car. In those 2 trips, it happened in 4 occasions. And it wasn't abrupt or hard braking, just normal slowing down. I wonder if this is a known issues ... or if anyone with the same car experience the same or similar issues. Thank you.

      IAC for 1997 Camry Vienta (3vzfe)

      Aisan (not to be confused with Aisin by the way) has been an OEM supplier for Toyota carburetor, throttle-body and fuel-injection components since the '60s. Unlike Denso and Aisin though, they're not actually part of the Toyota Group (but Toyota does have a financial interest in them)
