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.

      DIY Update GPS Maps on Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017

      Hi everyone, I own a 2017 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport based in Perth, Western Australia. My car's navigation system currently runs on iGO Primo software (version 9.12.14.545514). I'm looking to update the maps and keep the entire system updated. I understand that the recommended method is to visit a Toyota dealer, but I'm interested in exploring if there's a DIY way to do this. Could anyone guide me through the process or provide any reliable resources or links? Here are the details of my current setup: Car Model: Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017 Location: Perth, Western Australia Navigation Software: iGO Primo 9.12.14.545514 Specifically, I'd like to know: Where can I find the map update files that are compatible with my navigation system? What are the steps involved in transferring the map updates to an SD card and updating the system myself? Are there any risks or considerations I should be aware of before attempting a DIY update? I’ve looked through the user manual and some online resources but couldn’t find a comprehensive guide. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Best regards,

      Upgrade from 2012 to 2023

      I have recently bought a 2012 Prado and was wondering if i could buy a 2023 strat write off prado and upgrade both interior and exterior so all the functions from the 2023 works regardless of the newer features and buttons. I'm planning to upgrade not just the exterior, I'm also planning to upgrade the interior dash and stuff as well.

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      there are online catalogues available that you can type your vin number in and it will show your car, then you can find the correct part number. it is the only way to go when looking for uniquie or uncommon parts. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/vehicle?c=Toyota&ssd=%24*KwEWIjMeQU9MbFFuQ2JFQ05aen1jEh0QEQMFBkBlWQFNUQAaXyUmagcOAU1WABpfMidwEBZ5YWYREEpDXxQTEhYGCQBDHlFVBhQXGxcREgJRUQJHBxgBfn9nEU9APQliamV1Y2wCUVEJTUEAGRxYAAAAAL-x3O4%24&vid=0&q=AHT54ZEC307000605 https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/corolla-runx/1-hatchback-right-e120-2001-3066/body-and-interior-3/mudguard-spoiler-298
