i would definetely be running the stock air box and a good panel filter and not a cai and pod. never know what water/dirt/bugs you will suck up on this trip with a low hanging cai. you can easily clean the crap out of your panel filter at a stop when its full of bugs at least haha

I don't see any reason why you can't just get in and drive it. Whats the difference between doing 4000 kms in 40 hours or 40 days? If anything, the 40 hour trip would cause less wear because there would be no cold starts. I read somewhere that a 2zzge is rated to do 4000 rpm continuously.

I'd rather put those miles on my car at 100-120 km/h than at 0-40 km/h in rush hour traffic.

i'd say it's abit silly if toyota designed thier motor and gearbox to sit at roughly 4k at 120kph if there was any risk of internal damage with extended periods of use at those rpm's. toyota are alot smarter then that.

Above comment is true. I'm In Sydney now n I drove almost non stop from Melbourne to Sydney. I was sitting on 3.5 to 4k rpm for at least 5 hours straight. Dow mate I think I read somewhere that the 2zz could sit on 4k rpm for a few hours with no problems at all. I'll link u when I find it :)

i bought my sportivo in bris, drove to Darwin after basic tune up, 15 hour day drives in 30 degree plus tempretures, 3425km spred across 3 days. no drama's at all. recently did darwin to kunnanurra (800kmish) in 7hrs, again no drama's, lot hotter up here and my stivo loves roadtrips. On the bris- darwin road trip, if i remember correctly (it was a while ago now) i acctually got close to 850km out of a tank.

I've got TRD CAI, apart from that just koni's, kings, and whiteline sway bars. deffinately a fun drive, done it a few times in a few different cars now. freedom of open roads... unfortunatly the gov. took our unlimited speed limit off the stuart hiway, only 130km/h now.

yeah i heard that.... sucks to have a speed limit on that highway. wasnt the reason because someone from an organised event smashed and died on that highway? that was pretty dumb considering it was probably a one off thing. and no exhaust? i was thinking maybe my new spoiler would cause a bit of drag. that and maybe my spark plugs need replacing... almost 100,000kms on that now...

I'm planning to take my Corolla from Adelaide to Melbourne at the end of the year for a two week holiday, then driving home again. Looking forward to it, especially with cruise control.

      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.
