Hi Guys,

well ive decided to go with the TRD CAI. Recvd it yesterday from the states, (off ebay)

I have searched this forum till my head started to thump like a 12inch subbie... :blink:

Ive got a 03 Levin, with foggies, and im just curious as to the space between the foggie and the filter I knw theres heaps mentioned about it, but i think its mainly directed at Sportivos. Should i go out and buy a new filter prior to pulling the car apart, or just chance it?

Thanks guys!

ahh ok guys, so facelift=problems... its just going to be tight aye, oh well...nothing a little persuasion wont fix :)

Picked it up from Conicelli Toyota on ebay, total was $400 aud incl shipping. wasnt bad, just slack communications with the buyer. took a little time, but made it through. The instructions look quite daunting now that i look at em, more so with all the connections etc... hope i get it right...

HEHE thanks....i think its probably harder understanding the instructions rather that actually doing it. especially because it explains it all as xrs model/us model

I got mine from the same shop thanks to specialized32's previous thread. :)

The filter will fit with a little push and shove from underneath where you remove the splash guard, just make sure you have someone up top to direct it onto the red pipe.

if what you mean by splashguard as the pvc plastic underneath the front bar the levin 2003 manual does not have this part you can get under the car and touch the radiator. not sure about the auto.

No need to remove the wheel.

You might want to get some single sided adhesive foam tape from Jaycar as well to cushion the areas where the red pipe/brackets rubs against the chassis, air con pipes and wires from the fuse box.

didnt bother with instructions :ph34r: read the one on the 9thgen forums then away i went. Its pretty straight forward. Just remove the black plastic guards under the car, battery (optional) and away you go no need to remove tyres or bumpers. Run into trouble Im sure a vic member can help you out (notice your from Melbourne)

Hi Guys,

well....i got stuck into it last night, and completed it. Pretty wrapped, just dunno if its 100% correct or not. Had to remove that white bottle like reserve, that gave me a headache. Very tight fit with the TRD filter, but it does fit.. :)

I didnt have to change any of the vacuum piping at all? And the small outlet on the cai i just blocked off? Does this sound right?

Started her up, hissed like a python for a little while, but quitened down shortly after that. Another problem that i found was the i cant fit the battery brace back the way it was, is this because of the airbox has gone?

Pics will come along shortly....

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
