<_< DONT EVEN BOTHER BILL THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE SH!#$@!#$@EST C^&NTS OUT!!!! (Putting it nicely)

*crap quality

*crap fitting <_< And their prices man your better off making a kit out of card board and icecream containers!!! :lol: :P :D

They had one cool thing for the rolla they copied a sports grill and made it from carbon fibre they want nearly $300 for it though!!!! Genuine TOYOTA is around $300 (fair enough original parts will always be more expensive but hey atleast u know that it will actually fit!!! I have been working with fibre glass and carbon for a few years now and i can buy sheets of dry carbon from U.S. for $100 a square metre thats enough to make 3-4 grills!!!

Well guys unfortunately for the face-lift models there are no After-market copies yet the only ones seem to be available are the C-ONE eyelids for the face-lift!!! Sorry Pete unless you want C-ONE let me know!!! :)

I went there the other day the guy asked me did i buy the kit from them i kinda laughed and said noooo it was a genuine C-ONE kit from Japan and Genuine TOYOTA eyelids and a C-WEST rear-skirt from japan!! He looked at me blankly and said oh we have a better kit than that one and its only $1800 gee i wonder why its that cheap?? :blink: hmmmm Probably cos its SH!#@!@#T house quality!!! I asked the guy so do u also have carbon bonnets he said yes but i only get OEM bonnets from JApan!! WAT THE F***&K since when is a carbon bonnet OEM???? :huh: <_< They also wanted nearly 2K for it !!!!! They **** me they also took 5 goes at fitting a kit for my mate a while ago and its still not right and they charged a crap load for it and it was a copy,poor quality kit that when the car was at stock hieght with 17" wheels it was sitting 1" from the ground so if my mate lowered his car the kit would have been like negative 4" through the road!! <_< <_< :lol: :D :P Anyway enough or im gonna give myself a heart-attack!!!LOL

I tried to set up a trade account with them to buy some stuff for my car and to help out a few others with cheaper prices. I sent 3 emails and got no response whatsoever. I called and got some woman who took my details for someone to call back but no call so I went elsewhere. I prolly would have ordered heaps of stuff through them but am glad now that it didn't happen as since then the reports about them have been all bad. <_<

yep. the reports are true. the parts don't fit quite right. i got a copied TRD sports grille from them and the grille sticks about 8mm outward from the nose.

I was in the store this week just browsing. The bloke is not the most helpful I asked if he had a CAI for our car and he said yes. After a few minutes digging through the back store room he brings out a small box that looks more like the short ram you can get from ebay for $25US he was charging $200 AUD for it.

Guys are right their not the best retailer for car parts in terms of quality or service.

Have to say in Sydney the guys at shift performance seem to have the best service in my opinion.

but...

I think their business focuses on performance parts rather than body kits etc.

They told me they have TRD contacts and could order anything I wanted from TRD.

Don't waste your time with Carmate

I recommend Ignition-X, I know a good bloke who works there. :D :D

I have been to Carmate twice now & both times I stood in their show room for over 20 mins & no one would serve me, very rude.

      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.
