Just officially signing up for the sports grill club... if you can call it a sports grill.....

I am still heavily considering colour coding the bottom grill to be Tungsten. VF-X doesnt liek the mesh, but my opinion is that the bottom grill mesh looks better than seeing through to the radiator.

I am really amazed with how the sports grill make the car looks ... most of you put this on a sportivo ... how will this look like on an ATX in burgundy colour ? :)

The sports grill ... do you need to colour coded it? or it is originally come in matt black?

Ingres used to have a sport's grill and his' is not sportivos. Look around the thread and see if you like it.

Sports grill originally comes in black, sort of matte. But the mesh can be varied, silver / black.

I thought we went through this already.. No Mesh, just get another line on it, so it has 2 instead of 1. Mesh with VIP grill doesn't go really well together.. <_< <_< Unless!! you get those mesh with smaller gap, and colour it. That'll look good.

I am slowly starting to agree. I'm going to pull off the mesh and see how it looks. I will eventually colour code the plastic. This will probably be the 10th time I am going to undo the bottom splash guard .. grrrr.

It's good on any colour, especially real dark / real bright colours. If you wanna sell it, we might have a potential buyer. You know who you are... Step up! :toast: :toast:

HT, perhaps u can use a type of sticker to colour code the centre bottom line.. it might work on yours..

Very interesting indeed. I need some more thought on this but the sticcker might be heading in the right direction.

I'm not really one for adding chrome. But if the price is right I am willing to try.

Ok. Well, here is a shop of a single chrome line on the bottom grill.

I'm still unsure. But I think colour coding the bottom grill will be a bad mistake.

Welcome to the forum zedsx6.. personal opinion.. remove the TRD logo on the grill, it will look better without it ..

I am hoping to get the sport grill from Thai ... is this something that can be easily taken out and replaced? I presumed the grill comes in 1 size and fit ATX as well?

One size fits all pre-facelift. Be careful, it might be one size fits all but not all suit well. Choose wisely, the ATX doesn't look "sporty", it is a chunky family car.

You are right ... that's why I want to check if it fits first and then decide if really suitable to atx ... also considering the other one vip2.

so amazed looking at all the nice mod aurion ...

True... But there are always body-kits. I made my car to a non-sporty theme despite of it being a sportivo. Dun worry. :D

You can check the members' rides and just to remind you, there are 2 threads here in the topic of their Favourite Aurions / GOod lookin Aurions. So yea, go through that and see if any suit your taste.

Met up with VF-X few days back to pick up the new VIP2 grill, remeshed with some smaller grid mesh and also meshed the bottom grill (which took alot longer than expected to get the mesh to to perfect size), but it fits pretty good now. :D

Pretty good work! But in my opinion the mesh should be on the inside of the bottom grill.

I've set my lower grill up in a similar way, but it's a different type of mesh so it's not very obvious.

Also need to get off my **** and take some shots of my new "sports" grill as well

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
