next week, BC Racing Coilovers :D

Another one for team silver :D!

Good stuff man! Can't wait till you lower her a bit. Going to look way better. Can I ask what your rims/tyres cost all up and where you had them installed etc and where you sourced them from?

TBH though if you were to go for rims like that, the colour I just adore and drool over are these: http://www.topspeedcars.net/gallery/toyota-camry-toyota-aurion/toyota-aurion-se.jpg

Something about that colour that just looks amazing.

But your rims look good too man. I see Aurions around here with rims like that and in the flesh it's a whole new game. Pictures don't do justice.

Love looking at cars where their identical like that. Gives me a chance to suss out what different looks would be like without spending the $$ :lol:

haha thanks lol, in the end i have realised that 20s aren't my thing when it comes to the AT-X, touring, prodigy and presara aurion. so any aurion thats not a sportivo.

IMHO the 20s make it look out of place, because of lack of body kits.

so 19s is what i've chosen and will be revealed soon. very soon. might put a tease photo just before i get the coilovers .. :P

lol...20's look great they just scrub no what you do...been there done that.

quite a few people in the wheels and tyre thread have said they get no scrub

yeah no scrub when sitting at 4x4 height (stock) but as soon as ya lower em trust me there is some scrubbage no matter what you do,as I said been there done that and the only way I could get a decent stance/height was to go coilovers with 19's,even running coilovers with my 20's didn't work unless I raised the car to a height that in my eyes was not quite sitting right and definatley not low enough...not trying to be a smartazz but I think new members that weren't around when I was posting all this could save themselves some coin by not being led astray and thinking springs & 20's will be ok because there not unless you don't mind the scrub.

my 2cents take it or leave it.

Amazing what a drop will do. Looks way better man. I'm currently running at 20 clicks.

How's the coilovers going for you mate? So far I'm really lovig em! :D

i should have measured the drop on the car. but i'm pretty sure its just over an inch. not sure what setting i'm on. but she does ride pretty stiff. but not so still to the point of bone shattering.

all and all, i'm loving the ride, and most of all loving the new look

i have 19" and lowered. : )

One problem with having 19" and 20" is the cost of replacing tyres especially if you are going for better tyres. Gd luck if you want michelin sports 3 tyres..

yeah, i'm not really looking forward to my tire change :(

and for anyone interested in the amount of drop i got, using the "measure from hub to guard method", its gone from 39cm to 36cm in the front, and from 39cm to 34cm in the rear

they look alright. Love the colour. But I won't go 19. When it comes to change tyres I'l cringe at the price. 18's will be perfect for me :). But yeah, at that price I'm sure they're not that good especially when you consider that postage is free so imagine how cheap they really are :/

The aurion is a big car, i think if you are going to upgrade no point in going 1 or 2 size up. they will look small so get 19s. With Wheels i don't think they are that pricey you can get around or below $200 for a decent one if you shop around. I would forget budget tyres because they are dangerous and won't last long, before you know it you will end up replacing them. Do it once do it right!

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.
