Not a chance! TRD no longer exist in Australia.

Buy the older Aurion while you can. Certainly great value for money for what they are!

i was considering the 2007 TRD for its supercharger, but I'm also keen for the 2012 Aurion Sportivos because of its new look and features, especially the sports paddle shifters :P.

Call me crazy, but i've had thoughts of putting the 07' TRD supercharger into the new 2012 sportivo seeming they have the same engine etc. I know it will be a big job considering the ECU etc but its something i feel will be a great project, but some other part of me says don't waste my time and money. Thats why I was wondering if they were going to develop a new TRD.

Ecu, suspension, brakes..

That's just the start.

Pretty sure it would be cheaper to adapt paddle shifters to the older model. A guy bought my TRD wheels from me and put them in the new sportivo.

Personally I don't like the way they look. Too much plastic going on.

Toyota is a champion and making boring and bland cars. Even the brz thing with Subaru lacks any real fun.

I have been looking at replacing my TRD. For awhile, and have been eye balling a ISF only to be told it can't tow things.

I modify jetski's with aftermarket turbo kits, the only turbo you will see in a camry is when it's strapped onto a diesel engine.

On the plus side my TRD Aurion is awd now. In wheel electric motors with some decent capacitors and batteries is what I am playing with. Acceleration is brutal :)

My god retro, if you don't mind making a new thread with pictures and details on this modification, I think you'll be hailed as a genius (At the very least by me!)

Man i totally agree with your point. Although i personally don't mind the new aurion design, i must say the older aurion bodykit looks waaaay better. Another reason for me to consider the 07 TRD Aurion.

Also, whats the complexity level of installing the paddle shifters retro?

      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.
