Hey guys Im new to this forum and its good to have found an aussie forum where I can ask questions and get a proper answer. I'm looking at working my sportivo 2004 model. Are there any good places in perth that can help me out. I don't want to turbo or supercharge though. Also is there anywhere that sell TRD parts? Impossible to find localy and have had a look on the net but can't really find much either. If not TRD what are some good brands that wont stuff up on me. I want to get new brake discs that wont rust. Mine are rusted and they look crap so I want to also get some caliper covers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Well over time theres a whole list of things I want to do. I want to change my speedo and gauges to white or a different colour, i need to get a new centre console cause one of the flaps have snapped off but I can get that from toyota, I want to change my brake discs to ones that wont rust and get better brake pads and get some caliper covers. I'm not sure If i need new calipers because they seem quite expensive. I'm gonna get a sound system put in so if anyone here can help out with that that would be great. Gonna get a custom made leather interior with TRD on the seats. Performance wise I was thinking extractors. I have a TRD cold air intake already installed from when I bought the car. Anything else that can Improve the performance. I also want to tidy up the engine bay. The damn panel beaters left scratches and actually took a massive chip and put a ding in my boot. Its on the inside of the door but very noticeable when you open the boot door and left the engine bay very untidy. The window wiper hose isnt secure its just floating around and the accelerator cable is sitting over the top of the enginer instead of underneath where it used to be and a whole bunch of wiring just looks untidy.

Also just wanted to clarify something, I know TRD is toyota racing development but was there a special TRD edition stivo released In Australia or anything of the sort or can I stick TRD badges on my car and not look like one of those tools that stick STi on a non STi wrx.

Cheers

Wow

As soon as I saw caliper covers and changing the leather inside the car I stopped reading.. Honestly..

You can't stop rotors rusting, their steel, as soon as it see's water it rusts in minutes, if you buy Dba slotted it will still do it, just get new pads..

Also don't change the leather your gonna give slortivos a bad rep :/

Do you have chrome wheels? Lol just a Q...

Get ces extractors and exhaust, stock cat is fine..

A sound system? Honestly sounds like you wanna be fully sick bro.. ? Lol

Thanks for the reply. I like the red on Kenshins Calipers so I might just spray them and I saw how he changed the brake discs so I was thinking of doing that too. They didn't look rusted at all. I'll take some pics of mine and post them up tomorrow. Lol ok that was just a thought but fair enough. If I was to change the leather it wouldnt be for a long while anyway. I've got the standard wheels it comes with so I don't think they're chrome. What's stock cat? Where can I buy the CES extractors and exhaust? Yeah nothing too crazy I'm not fully sick lol I just like to listen to music and my speakers atm aren't that good lol. Plus my cd player **** itself and wont load cds so i was looking at getting a new one.

Is there anyone In Perth that does it or would I have to order the parts from CES and get someone to Install it? I dont want it to drone, I'm quite content with the stock exhaust so can I just install the extractors and still get the performance boost that I want?

u can get a cat back made up 2.5'' and a muffler that doesnt drone. plenty out there. i have a varex. best of two worlds and for that system abit less than a CES exhaust. up to you but CES is a direct bolt on the car.

the painted calipers look good... after 6 months they get dirty lol.

yes the stock leather is sh#t. i will retrim mine sometime down the track. be prepared to fork out around 3k for it though. not worth it unless u plan on keeping the car for a long time.

sound system better get a pro to install it for u. they can neatly tidy up the cables and stuff.

Thanks Kenshin. What are some good brands other than CES if I can't get that in Perth? Ones that won't drone. Varex sounds expensive lol.

Not bagging you man, but this isn't entirely true. It needs to be fitted by an exhaust shop cos a flange needs to be welded on. Its also quite noisy IMO, but to each their own.

also, i'm also in perth, and there's a possibility that Mr Prozac is joining us.

up to you but CES is a direct bolt on the car.

      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.
