Yeah they are indeed, mighty pricey though... Im more after adding a scoop or vents to my stock bonnet. Something like the evo 5 bonnet design would look hot... Would it be as easy as getting a panel beater to cut the design and add a mesh backing to it... Real noob question here, but if it rained would the water going through the mesh harm the engine at all.

Thanks

there was/is a guy on the forums that has/had a blue corolla and he got a scoop put into the stock bonnet, from memory the cost was around the 1K mark.

There's a bloke on firesport with a bonnet scoop (mini wrx style) for our corollas and its painted in the colour of my car too, i was going to buy it then put the car on the market instead, its probably still there for $40

Skitzo had a custom one made up.

Influx has the c-one CF hood with the scoop.

The cost to purchase, paint & fit will probably cost you almost as much a Carbon Fiber C-One Bonnet.

Extremely doubtful, ive priced a fair few scoops, universal ones both from ssv.com.au and carmate and ill be looking at $100- $200 for the scoop.. NO idea how much itll be to paint and fit, give or take $300 id say..

Compare this with the $1753 'someone' wants for the c-one bonnet, and i think ill come out with a bit of cash left in the pocket. :P

$1753 is a rip off, I bet you got this quote for Carmate. Everyone in Sydney knows to stay away from this place. Theere is member of the Sydney crew who has a carbon bonnet that he got for $600 & I have been quoted previously $1000 for the C-One Bonnet.

On top of purchasing & painting you still have the cost of fitment which will involve cutting a hole in your bonnet which will not be cheap.

Anyway, good luck with your bonnet scoop.

Those prices are good, but for those of us not prepared to take the legal risks with carbon fibre, a custom scoop is really the only option.

skitzo's bonnet looked awesome... do a seach for bonnets or something on here and you will come across his thread he made when he first got it done. plenty of pics... i was so impressed. it cost him 1200 i think all up, 600 for labour, and he got stuffed over by some panel beaters and parts ended up costing 600 or something like that...

so thats 1200 for a custom scoop to be made into an existing bonnet... and it looks good. if i had the money i'd get one for sure.

My Mistake. It has been sometime since I was interested in this type of item. $1700 is probably close to the mark for the CF bonnet. I had a look at the C-One JP site & using today's exhange rate the item is worth approx $1200 AUD. If you add freight on top of this then the price of $1700 is not that bad.

Having said that I have seen the CF C-One Bonnet up close & the in my opinion the product is first class, excellent finish & very light weight, if I could afford it I would get on without hesitation.

Once again I aopligise for the incorrect information. :D

Out of interest, have you got any quotes on doing the job?

      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.
