Just thought I'd start this thread seeing as there's not a soul who has mentioned the mighty hilux!!!

What's everyone think of the new one? I think it looks sweet..

Anyways where are the hilux owners at? I mean come on people u see them dumped on the ground dragging their asses on big chromes all over the place...

I think the new shape looks good in 4WD but not so good in 2WD, the front overhang is very long and looks a bit weird when it's closer to the ground, But lift it up and put a set of 36's under those wheel arches and it looks tonka tough!

Used have a 2.0 litre (18R engine) 'lux - that would go side ways in the wet too, but struggled on the slightest grade!

Try the 4.0 V6, or the new TD (if you tow). That'll make ya rethink the 2.7L performance.

We got our SR5 diesel a couple of months ago. Lucked in and our car was delivered with the engine and spec upgrade that happened around Sept 06 (a little more power, and some more 'bits and pieces').

I hadn't realised though, that a Hilux is more of a kit car than the usual factory offerings. As soon as we took delivery,we started changing things. Seats were the first.....

Since then, we've had a second battery installed. Hella spotlights. It's going in today for installation of a combined navigation and sound system, as well as UHF CB. Long range fuel tank next week. Canopy in a couple of months. And then it will be off for a drive to northwest oz.

looks good jb747!

i wouldnt mind doing a seat change in mine, but kinda like the bench thats in the manual. i guess i could change the drivers and get the bench re-trimed.

Ok, so my Dad has an 07 work mate 4x2 V6 petrol, it's awesome, drives and feels like a car, and sits at 140 - 150 kph quite comfortably.

My brother has a 07 SR5 4x4 dual cab V6 petrol, It too is great on the road, and has no prob off road too...

I've just bought myself a brand new SR 4x4 V6 petrol dual cab... I haven't driven it, nor taken delivery of it yet (7 jan 08) but I expect it to be equally good too...

In short, I love them...

Love the new Lux! I've got a '92 model and it just keeps on truckin. I'm in the market for a new car and have decided on the SR Single Cab pickup v6. However I have a question nobody seems to be able to answer?

WHAT IS THE 0-100KM/HR TIME?

I've owned a few sports cars (last one was Honda S2000) and 175kW of power is pretty decent in fact on par with the s2000! I realize that its not a sports car and is geared differently (in more ways than one) but it seems to have a tonne of potential. The TRD concept SR5 is supercharged and pulls sub 7.5secs, however that is the large heavy 4x4 dualcab. Surely the lighter single cab could do sub 6.5secs with the right mods? I'm interested to know if anyone has any thoughts or knowledge on the matter? I'm not a rev head but it'd be nice to shut down some of these posers in their Holden & Ford utes!

PS: I find it hilarious that people seem to be selling used Hilux's for more than new dealer costs! Check out Carpoint, am I missing something here?

      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.
