welcome aboard mate!

firstly... good choice! the only choice really, the best looking rolla's on this site are all blue so u are in good company. im sure dylan, bill, tom, wei wei and others will agree with me here.

secondly.... facelift model (05) or pre-facelift model (03/04)????

if its a pre-facelift... go to ebay immediatly!

eyelids are readily available, as are king springs if you want to only lower it with springs rather than go all out with coilovers. Kings Lows drop the car by about 35mm which is pretty good for the street otherwise u can get superlows which drop it by about 50mm... depends on the height of gutters in your area!! if u are near canberra... lows for sure... wouldnt go lower. to get it all done and installed and aligned should cost u just under $500... good investment.

next thing u need to do is go to US ebay and buy a cold air intake, either Injen or AEM for best bang for buck. CES (aussie brand and forum sponser) and TRD are a little more expensive but the gains differ from car to car so its hard to track. i'm running an AEM CAI and are more than happy with the power and especially the noise!!

as for audio, i'm loving my rockford sub but really its a personal preference thing, find what suits your liking and what you think looks good and mix and match!

but regardless, enjoy your stivo and especially the looks on the commodore drivers faces when u creep past!!! :lol::yahoo::toast:

Welcome Fil!

Micky pretty much covered everything, but if you'd like further info on what he said then THIS THREAD is your bible. Once you've exhausted that resource provided by our moderators, don't be afraid to ask questions because that's how you learn, even if people jump up your @ss about it!

hey hey

welcome to da forum :D

micky is right on the audio bit, just work out a budget and go from there? are sub /s on ya list?

as a personal preferance, i'd go:

Clarion / Kenwood Headdeck (have owned both)

Clarion Speakers (cabin) 6" speakers should do fine (maybe 6" splits if ya budget allows for it)

Rockford Fosgate / Kicker Sub /s

Kicker Sub amp

Kenwood / Clarion Amp for cabin speakers

If you have an iPod, get a headdeck with a iPod controller, they are worth it :D

Otherwise, enjoy ya time here and maybe we'll see you at a meet sometime :yahoo:

Welcome to TOCAU mate. Another pointer for you would be to check out the registry(or garage area) and look at the most modded cars or check out the areas in which you want to modify and see what everyone else is using :D

hey matey. Welcome!.

if you're looking for springs. stick with the bigger names. like Kings, Tien...etc there's less chance that the springs rates are wrong, the spring sag is more gradual and consistant, and the powder coating won't crack so quickly.

I got my eyelids from a member of this forum but you can probably get a set from Toyota Penrith as they sell TRD products.

      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.
