well looks like its time for the corolla to move on.

cant say its been all smiles but there is nothing more applealing than 8000rpm screaming in your ears.

sometimes it's just time to move on...

as long as the wheels stay at your place for a couple more weeks though ;)

Another old member lost...

Seems like a growing trend that a lot of people get the corolla, personalise it with modifications and then sell it within 2-3 years.

I was also thinking the same, but to upgrade to an mps3 would leave me 25k out of pocket. :(

yes family is unexpectantly expanding (like my waistline, as well as the wifes)

Blue stivo, relax wheels are safely locked away at my parents in laws fortress.

Im hoping for a turbo wagon but trade in price will dictate if it will be turbo or not... (trade in prices seem to be around 19 to 20k max).]

Hve to trade in as there is not enough time and too much stress to sell privately with the other factors. Shame with so few kms too (24000), didnt plan on selling but its a case of have too.

If anyone knows of anyone wanting to pay 22k for it cash send me a pm, other wise dealers going to sell it for 25 or so... due to kms.

well deal is done this thursday.... getting a forester turbo

Suprisingly its better on petrol (unleaded 95 octane) per 100km than a stivo :) (on 95 octane)

also is a lot quicker when a sortivo lined me up on the test drive (couldnt help it but it must have been fate (ive got an auto now too) hope he wasnt a member here, it was blue not silver so they arent that quick ;)

so was hoping for calder friday night and a trade in sat morning but its not meant to be. so will only have my seat of the pant 15sec qtr miles to remeber 8200rpm (might go make a quick digi movie of the wonderous sounds of lift, take the air box off too :) )

signing off on thursday...

      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.
