This looks like a great idea Steve, never thought of this one myself.

Maybe what you could do is if you were going to have one writer/editor for a TOCAU Newsletter, maybe take on the services of 1 or 2 'contributors' for each state.

This could be someone that gets arounds, knows a few people and pass on information then to the person writing the newsletter.

I am assuming of course that the newsletter will be about the members and what is going on in that state and what the members are up to etc....

Cheers

Yep I'll put a vote up for the Azza man. Cause he gets around, knows everything(if you listen to him :lol: ) and knows everybody and what's going down in Brisbane. ;)

It'll be great if our front page for the forum will have Toyota News, links to galleries, events, Picture of the week, etc. Articles can then also be posted there.

Well I may not be the best in Australia at writing and I am certainly no Journalist. However in saying that, I am more than willing to give it a go and help get this thing goings.

I believe that this could possibly be a great way for everyone to keep up with whats going on and not just by ploughing through forum threads....

Although I have never had any experience in writing, other than a squillion emails and memo's around Queensland Health each day, I am prepared to give it a go if nobody else can.

Cheers

Sounds like we have plenty of people that are prepared to give some time/effort.

I guess if we look at one person from each state to feed information to a 'Chief Editor' for collation, then this all sounds like a plan...

What do you think Steve?

Between Carlos (Vic), Dylan (NSW) and myself (QLD) as contributors, you have most of the country covered, then all you need is a 'Chief' (ahem*Dylan*ahem) :P

ok guys here is the deal.

If i provide a content management system for the front end (instaed of the cacky one at the mo) I can give you guys access to add articles on the fly.

All that is required is at least an article per week from each person (which may depend on how big the article is)

I do not expect anything that puts people out... just a bit of fun to add more content to the club and help build it up.

Contenet will be based on all types of Toyota cars and information (not just corolla ;) ) Also adding industry news would be excellent too. Toyota AU release press releases weekly... these will need to be researched from Toyota and get them email as soon as they are released and added to the website, Toyota will be happy to supply this info as its publicity for them as long as you adhere to their Embargo dates.

I agree that we should have a team leader so we can all agree on articles that are published.

If those interest can defiantly volunteer a little bit of time then we should start planning by choosing a team leader, and then some ideas such as Featured ride, car of the month and industry news etc.

Sounds good...

There are far more qualified 'Team Leaders' than I so I would like to submit myself as an assistant.

Thanks dude, I even have experience as a motoring journalist having contributed articles in the past for Autospeed.com. However, I've been keeping quiet because I really have enough on my plate at work for at least the next 6 months. If something extraordinary comes up in Adelaide and no-one else can cover the story, I might be enticed to put my journo cap back on, but until then I'm happy to let your Easterners have all the glory.

      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.
