Ok guys. Dumb question I know but a mate of mine swears he has seen a manual aurion. I told him they only come in a 6 speed auto but he wasn't convinced. Got me 2nd guessing myself. Never heard of a manual. Anyone got one? (I already know my mate can let his mouth run before his brain)

Cheers guys. Didn't think I was going that crazy just yet. I also only just discovered that the new sportivo comes with paddle shift. Anyone know about fitting this setup to the older model or is the lexus is350 wheel like Steven fitted still the way to go?

He was probably thinking Camry, which do have a manual option. From factory, there has not been a manual Aurion.

edit: That's wierd, I didn't see any of those previous responses.

And yes, it is stoooopit of Toyota not to issue a manual for the Aurion. And from what I've been informed, it is very doable.

Indeed it does. Just doing a little costing research to work out if I can justify it. I believe it was around a grand for the lexus wheel and airbag that steven used. Kinda hoping that a sportivo wheel might be a bit easier on the pocket.

Just out of curiosity how responsive is the wheel, I mean if it's anything like the sports shift I doubt it would be worth it.

If I had the cash I would go for gears on the floor :)

100% agree. I doubt the paddle shift will give any more than the stock setup as far as responsiveness. Just think it would be a cool mod if I can do it within budget. Looked at a manual conversion using the lotus gearbox but WAY too many $. I know it has been done before, kinda hoping the new sportivo setup will help get it happening a bit cheaper. (Props to steven who did it with the lexus wheel. Don't want to take anything away from his efforts. As far as I know, the only man in the world to have owned a paddle shifted aurion)

Really? Don't happen to live around Lithgow do you. I asked the question cause a mate of mine works there and swears he drives past a car yard that has an aurion with "6 speed manual" plastered across the windscreen. Told him I want the ph # of that car yard but haven't heard back yet. Sorry Heathaurion, I think both you and my mate are mistaken but would love if I was proven wrong.

Nope I'm in townsville.. I remember I looked at this car a few months after I bought mine and was thinking hmmmm only trd's must do manual... The other conclusion is that some cool dude deuche bag might of put a rubber boot around the automatic gear selector to make it look manual ?!?

Hey Guys, I found something interesting in wikipedia, don't know how trust-able it is.

All I can think of is, the aurion might be possibly import if that is possible.

Kinda wishing you took that car for a test drive. If indeed a manual exists, you would have been the envy of everyone else here had you bought it.

Nickio, your post seems to agree with my thoughts. While other versions may have been available overseas, the two versions available here were both equipped with 2gr engines (either supercharged or not) and auto transmissions.

yep Prodigy.

Can't seems to find anywhere mention an Australia Aurion with Manual at all.

But yeah, oversea version are basically based on a Camry with Aurion body (or shape or whateva) which even AU camry also does have Manual.

And back to the Flappy Paddle shift i saw mentioned on this thread. Doesnt really make much of a different on an Aurion.

since you can't really do much with it.

With the triptronic, you cannot shift up when you want, it just only limit the gear to that gear.

And if you do redline 1st it will go straight to 3rd when you shift up.

This is true nickio, spend most of my time in sequential mode just cause I want something to do with the left hand. Just figured it would be a cool mod to do. Not really expecting too much from it.

They use the 6-speed box out of an Avensis diesel, and it isn't regarded as one of the best features of the car...

      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.
