Well I hate to admit it but there was this one time (no not at bank camp) where I ran over a cyclist and his back wheel put a huge scratch in my spoiler.

Cost me $200 for his wheel and a new saddle (lucky I had a spare at home to give him).

Luckily the big black mark on the bumper rubbed off with Mothers swirl and scratch remover.

I had just been training with the guy he went home by bike I went home in the car with the bike in the back but eventually he went home in the sportivo with both bikes in the back.

Oh the embarassment

My car was once stuck at the end of the curve of an uphil in my friend's apartment. So, the chassis under the front door was touching the concrete. Did a bit of a burnout to get out of the uphill.

I guess it would leave a big scratch there. It did shaved the concrete afterall.

Haha, I've got a funny story about this one.

When I first lower the car which was about 1000kms after I bought it, I took it straight for a spin from the garage that did it. Marcus was in the car with me and I was really enthusiastic about the stiffer and lower springs so I pushed the car hard to feel the difference. It was then that I saw a speed hump right in front of me, well needless to say I hit the brakes but a little too late so I had my first scratch then.

Since then my philosophy is, if you can see it standing up, it isn't there! :lol: :P :lol:

Mine is over 2 years old and has no scratches on the front lip, probably something to do with the fact that the corolla sportivo is jacked up higher than a 4WD :P

my front lip gets munched by my driveway if I'm not 100% accurate with the angle of entry... :angry:

drivers side skirt has a big scratch from a rock on the side of my parents driveway quite large but not too noticable...

Bonnet has about 100 pit marks and stone chips thanks to roadworks on the Sturt Highway just outside Wagga Wagga and 2 trucks going the other way (way faster then the posted 60km/h :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry: ) :ph34r: oh and track days don't help much either... :ph34r:

rear passenger door has key scratches (not deliberate keying) from a lady in the car park who was puttng her bag over her shoulder and fumbling the keys... AGAINST MY CAR!!! :blink::angry::angry::angry::angry:

      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.
