So I bought a set of rda slotted rotors for the TRD. Surprise , surprise, drivers side does not fit yet passenger side does. Looked at hubs on both sides, drivers side is slightly different not allowing the adaptor and rotor to go all the way on. Looked on back of oem rotors and sure enough, the drivers side is different to allow for the hub difference. Note, this car is a 2009 TRD off the showroom floor. No accidents. Anyone else had this issue?

RDA have only recently released rotors for the TRD Aurion (I have been keeping in contact with someone in the RDA office).

I only know of people who have bought the Converted C5 rotors, have them drilled to 5*114.3 and use hubcemtric rings.

I don't know if there have been many (let alone any) people who have bought a RDA rotors for the TRD.

Metal: I wouldn't worry.

If they are part numbers 8050s, they will not fit. Did not try the rears as their was no point. Looks like RDA have have measured up the passenger side and presumed the drivers side was the same.

i was going to say, myself and BYW were a bit responsible for getting the initial RDA rotors made up. we needed them urgently so had the corvette C5 ones made up. However, we do have the original rear ones here. Yet to fit them as they seem to be holding out well... are you in perth EC11WA??

Hmm Adaptor plates? of what kind? I have the TRD package on my Sportivo and it was a simple case of pull Sportivo rotor off and put larger TRD one? lol

As in the:

Front

Genuine rotors are modified PBR Corvette C5. The PCD holes are elongated to give us the required 5x114.3mm PCD instead of 5x120mm. Also the rotor has a hub locator ring fitted to reduce the centre diameter from 71mm to 62mm.

Well there you go, you do learn something new everyday after all. Guess i never bothered to look at the differences between the rotors outside of the diameter and thickness.

Yeah, always up for a catch up ...Maybe a photoshoot of some sought. The hub ring certainly had me fooled.....actually looked like part of the hub, thats why i thought they were different. Passenger side came off with the hub ring still attached to the rotor...looked like one piece. However the drivers side looked completely different as i had to wedge the rotor off first but the ring stayed on the hub. It looked as though it was an extension of some sought on the hub itself...........i was trying to do it quickly though as i was struck down badly with the flew and quite possibly would have picked it up straight away if my head was screwed on straight. Anyway, simply wedged it off with a cold chisel and away she came. No problems otherwise.....went with the RDA rotors front and back and the Remsa pads all around. First impressions are that it is no better or worse than the stock setup but i still need to bed them in so time will tell.........got 45000ks out of the original pads before squeeling set in.....pads were low but still had a bit left in them.......front rotors were not machinable as i had them done at 20000 due to vibration and and further machining would have been to close to minimum thickness. So replaced the the lot....hopefully i get the same stopping power but with less aggressive pads and slotted rotors. Not sure how the Remsa go dustwise compared to the oem pads.........will post up soon

Seems to depend on how you treat the brakes, Most of us running Remsa would say there a million times better than the OEM pads and all the Bendix pads available when it comes to the amount of dust produced however a few members have found them worse so i guess it comes down to your personal driving style.

Remember Remsa make OEM pads for the likes of Porsche a couple of other big name super car makers as well as the pads for the Z06 and ZR1 Vettes so it would simply be unacceptable for these kinds of cars to have pads that squealed or produced mammoth amounts of dust. They must of course have good feel cold or hot as well..

      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.
