LAST LONGER OR BETTER PERFORMANCE. YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE OR THE OTHER OR YOU HAVE TO COMPROMISE AND SIT IN THE MIDDLE.

Pretty sure the Falken 452 would perform better.

However, for some reason, I never liked Falkens, and this was reinforced when my Falken slicks punctured on me at the track.

The KU19's are quite an old tyre now for Kumho. Sucks the don’t make the newer and widely regarded as a better tyre the KU38 in your size (they only make them in 18 &19")

I'm currently running FK452's and have a fantastic run out of them, have tonnes of mechanical grip and resistant to aqua planning. i have got great life from them and they have been on a handful of cruises where there put through their paces plenty. All in all i would highly recommend them. i understand the support from Falken to their dealers is nothing short of crap! The tyre shop we use at work therefore i use too as they look after me were both Falken and Kumho and there over Falken. Love the product but hate the support so they favour the Kumhos now so i will probably go with KU38's i think for my next treads.

Arghhh really dont say that lol? which ones were you running? the KU38's are meant to be quieter then either KU31 and 19. Might stick with the FK452's yet then!

I'm using KU31...no complaints... .It actually performs quite well even in the wet

road noise? I actually enjoy it - its nice to listen to what your tyres are doing..

We run the KU23's on our Aurion and they are quiet enough for us. I run the KU31's on the Gen 3 and don't notice or care about noise in that.

      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.
