any torque figures to go along with pics???

as for engines they claim a 1.8L 2ZR-FE with 179Nm@4400rpm.

Thats according to Wheels Mag. And they reakon a 3% power increase. Shouldn't some of the Toyota employees be telling us whats going on? :whistling:

Those real pics show the car looking less "parrot-ie"

Did anyone else notice the roof???

Daniel, when you move into the new place?

Hey azza, Im in the new place now. Moved in on the weekend so ull see the rolla around a bit now. Still trying to find some tennants for my old house. Not looking forward to two mortgages with no rental income. Should rent out pretty soon tho.

As for the astra, I think ill wait for the HSV coz its only gunna be 3 grand more. But i really dont want to own a bogan holden even if it is the coolest looking hatch. Toyota need to bring out a 3 door sportivo or Nissan a 3 door SSS Tiida. Who ever does it first will get at least one sale from me.

Ive also heard HSV are looking at new corsa turbo as a smaller turbo hatch to take on polo GTI, swift sport and ralliart colt. Will eat them alive if they bring it out.

Each to their own, I guess, but I like the hatch. My issues with the new car are the boring-as styling of the new sedan, and the fact that Toyota won't be bringing the new wagon into Australia.

That means that Toyota will no longer sell a conventional station wagon, and the dealers are already hurting after they discontinued the Camry wagon.

Someone needs to tell Toyota that a great deal of wagon buyers want something that looks good and is reasonably inexpensive to run ... i.e. the RAV4, Kluger and LandCruiser are not attractive to many people.

Although existing wagon owners should see their resale value stay pretty good once it goes off the market.

there's an article in Today's SMH Drive section... Auris will be released as the 1.8ltr and plans for a performance version to be "powered by a 2.4ltr engine wearing a TRD badge"...

dunno if that'll be released in Oz tho....

On the serious side brandon and I were talking about the final car to come out badged as a 'TRD' vehicle. It'd have to be the Corolla I think. I'm thinking a kitted facelift hatch with similar stylings to that of the sportivo or levin. Powerplant? Brandon and I were unsure. I'm thinking they may make an economical but zippy turbo or s/c. Could even be a juiced up 1zz maybe, given that Toyota Australia may not have much to play with in the Corolla department. Mr Bates will ensure that it's good though. That TRD Aurion looks insane.

There is no doubt the Corolla will feature in the TRD range, but there is no way it will be a 1zz modified or not in the new model.

Going forward, the 1zz lacks refinement, it's too (mechanically) thrashy in higher revs and has been around since 99 (Or earlier?)

Given the competition out there, 1zz in the new Corolla is a bad move.

I've now decided what I really want to upgrade to next (The question is when I actually can though), It's not a Toyota and it's a Diesel.

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k
