Wow has it been a long time since i've been on this forum. I've recently been overseas to Malaysia and Hong Kong and been travelling down to Canberra a lot (would love to meet up with some of the canberra people one day). Just wanted to share some stuff thats been happening to my tivo.

During one fateful trip down to Canberra my front left mudguard/wheelarch protection piece of plastic go ripped off and thus left my pod filter exposed to the elements. Not very happy. Cost me about $130 to get a replacement and get it fitted.

I'm planning to take my tivo down to track next month but i'm really not sure about it because I've never been before :unsure:

At the moment I'm going to be saving up for springs and exhaust and i'm looking around for some options

1 problem that I have is that whenever i'm at 3k RPM i hear a whining noise from the engine. Any thoughts as to what this could be?

I also have a mini service tomorrow. Oil change, oil filter change, wheel balance/alignment/rotation.

Thanks for reading!

There's one of those running around Newcastle, although at least that one has a colour-matched spoiler, and with Mazdaspeed on the side of the end-plate

I haven't really done anything to my car. just driving it haha.

I brought it back from the mini service and the steering feels tighter. Hope the car enjoys the new oil.

One thing happened tho...

i think the case has been wearing out and probably one of the mechanics twisted the key too hard today.

Easy fix, i bought one off ebay for $14

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-2-button-key-shell-suites-Rav4-Corolla-Camry_W0QQitemZ290409304966QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item439dbe5386

and took it to a key cutter. if you're lucky the guy might cut it for u free, but usually they have some charge... take the inside module out n put it in the new one, DONE!

[the "misterminit" guys sell the same shell for $30+]

Lantis Type-S actually does have the Ford Cosworth type Boot spoiler, part of the "Touring Kit" lol

I'm surprised you found something other than a Proton lol =P

Oh don't you worry. there were plenty of protons. I love driving through the streets and see a group of cars on the street, all stripped down and getting modifications done

The other surprising thing that I saw in Macau was how many corolla's there were. All the taxis were corolla's and even the cop cars were too!

      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.
