If i brought a presara...

would anyone wanna swap the woodgrain bits?

I'd be in the same boat as you.

I hate the crap woodgrain look. If the Presara didn't have it, I'd buy one hands down.

Lol,

I think Toyota should offer like a Brushed aluminium panels as an alternative for teh Presara, cause I agree with you, plastic woodgrain has gotta be the worst Luxury wannabe piece of poo ever...

you can buy a sort of "sticker" in any colour you want and stick it over those trim peices... the dealership where i bought my car had done it to their demo TRD with a carbon fibre looking sticker... turned out REALLY well... i couldnt even tell it was a sticker, i thought that it might have been an option for different door/dash trims.... :lol:

agreed, the wood grain panelling looks dedset attrocious, a throwback to the 80's if you may.

Exactly, i agree get rid of that sh*t, before it gives you a rash.

I reckon if ya chucked some purple velvet in, and some lino on the floor, you can pretend you in a dirty 80's porno. ha ha ha. noooooooooooooooot.

i cant decide on ZR6 or Presara. I'm going 2nd hand.

Presara + sportivo bodykit + color coding + paint woodgrain.

or

ZR6 with sunroof + auspack + HIDs

How different are the suspensions?

Desireables in the Presara are:

- Rain Sensing Wipers (am i that lazy?);

- Drivers seat memort (will be very advantageous as im sharing car with wife);

- Funky rear view mirror for night time;

- Auto tilt mirrors on reverse (could be handy);

- Toyota Link (meh);

- Rear power sunshade (wtf is that?)

- Factory HIDs (that are adaptive)

can anyone with a Presara comment on the features u dont get in the ZR6?

For the factory rear shades...

means there is a switch where the rear shades comes up... good for night driving as other car cant flash you from behind and during the day block outs the sun... wish they had that for the Prodigy model...

I own a Presara and had considered the ZR6 as well, in the end, it was all the added stuff that comes with the Presara that made the difference for me.

- Keyless entry and smart start options are very clever, no more fumbling for keys! Has also come in handy when doing grocery shopping and trying to open the boot.

- The keys can be tuned to the seat memory so the driver seat and mirrors automatically shifts into position when I open the door. This is especially good, because my wife is much shorter than me and I get all cramped up trying to get in!

- The Toyotalink is great for tracking your car and checking odometer reading. Had a bit of fun :lol: when my wife went to Melbourne and I was left in Sydney (see my previous thread)

- Auto wipers are cool, but lose the appeal after awhile, so I just leave it off.

- Auto lights are convenient and useful so I always have it set on auto.

- Rear power sunshade is great when showing off, but don't see any practical use.

- I like the rear view mirror auto-dim function. Nothing to write home about, but if it's there I might as well enjoy it.

- GPS takes a bit of time to understand how to use, but once you figure out POIs and routing it can be very handy. I don't think I could ever buy another car without GPS.

- Bluetooth for the mobile phone is almost essential as my wife and I change phones almost every year. I also like being able to store numbers and set speed dials from the dash.

- And last but not least, the rear reverse camera is a wonderful idea and has already come in useful on a few occasions.

all the stuff is for **** factor other than the keys tuned to the seat memory and the HIDs really, as the GPS and reverse camera can be added with the auspack unit.

Are all the features true to each year model? are there any differences in between the year models (2006/2007/2008)?

Ah suspension. Yes they can be quite different.

I picked Touring partially because of ride.

Plush and never harsh. The bumps are not sharply transmitted to you.

But after 2 weeks of driving I start to see the downside.

It feels floaty/bouncy/springy on bumpy roads.

Wonder if you can add gas shocker absorbers to the Sportivos and maybe get best of both worlds.

Having just lowered my SX6, I wouldn't change my new setup for the world. Looks 1000x better and I can take corners and roundabouts under power with ease, it has taken me a few days to see the fruits of my hard earned $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ but I can now see the difference.

im really sorry freddo, but i never really got into detail about it...

i'm assuming it'd be a film like tint...

something similar to contact paper i'd be guessing...

Take out keyless and auto lights, as they are standard on a Zr6. Plus I believe that Presara seats are more comfy?

      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.
