Hi guys

I got a freebie from my dad. We bought this car 7yrs ago. Think was just imported from Japan. We (my dad) didnt really know much about cars and a friend was importing it so we bought. Well now its done so cant do much. in 7 yrs we learnt to move on. I have had this car for almost 4 yrs and since i am still a uni student and only part time job cant upgrade to new car and dont want to as i am in love with her.

Anyway its a AE91. Dont think it was brought to AU as only AE90 and AE92 can be found here. Its a EFI yes an EFI 1.5 litre engine. Just incase there a few of u who dont trust me here are a few pics.

Question 1: What is a pod filter i have heard off. It increases air flow right? Does it increase fuel consumption? Would the sound be illegal in terms of decibels? I would love to have that sound effect in my AE91,

Question 2:My car has 13" wheels and i am sick of it scratching at the bottom when i go over humps etc. Is there a way i can get 14 or 15" wheels. What would i be looking at?

Question 3:Have a look at this speaker rack. Is there a way i would be able to open this and replace the speakers. I have a Sony Headunit with 4x30watt speakers. I have got 6" 3way 200watt speakers i won. Can u add these speakers without needing an amp?

Question 4: I have a nice leather gear knob. I would love to put it in but i cant jjust unscrew the old one. Any ideas wat needs to be done? Is it legal to have a gear know that doesnt show where 1st and reverse etc gears are. Sorry may seem dumb but need clarification as a friend was asked to remove it for RWC in melb

Question 5: Anything else i can do to make it more enjoyable.

thanks for all your help and sorry for loading this with xtra questions.

      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.

      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.
