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!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
