  1. do you know if $30 for the air filter of this rolla seems about right for non OEM yeah that doesnt seem to bad but k&n are only $50 odd and gen are about the same but not 100% sure on those prices i can findout genuine prices but not today its sunday and its night not to all readers of this when it comes to air filters on a turbo/supercharged vehile only get high quality none gen or gen air filters as ive seen a none gen air filter go through turbos before not a cheap bill for that customer as it was a LC200 and VG (varible geometry) turbos arnt cheap like $4500 each
  2. abit of a teaser you recon why so long hope it makes a noticable difference
  3. ill get back to you tomorrow on rrp but my price is my price i could maybe give you the trade price but once again my price is my price but $70 for a none gen part seems a bit steep for any service item eg oil air or fuel filters spark plugs even none gen brake pads are only like 40-70 for bendix and ferrodo
  4. if it over heat when going up a hill or when you give it a bit i dear say you either have a blockage, leaking head gasket still or the system wasnt bleed properly when filling cooling system if it just gets hot for no obvious reason the temp sensors may be conteminated try removing them and giving them a buff so there nice and clean or replace them. There will be 2, 1 is for the gauge the other will be for the ecu. once you have done this the cooling system will require bleeding again
  5. got looks how does it go thought someone should bling a hybrid camry i know for a fact there faster then a normal camry
  6. last rear driver wagon was probably late 70'-mid 80's not sure of the model code but they had a similar front end as the KE70 you could always get an ugly 4wd corolla wagon that was the AE95 i admit to having thoughts of puting my turbo 4AG into a 4WD corolla wagon but finding bolt in drive line to handle the power i suppose the celica gt would fit but with how much moding

  9. ive been seriously concidering selling both my cars to purchase a V6 rav but although 200kw is alot. more then 200 would be better id like it to have about 200kw per ton maybe if that sounds like a big ask from the 2gr maybe 200kw at the treads opposed to the fly
  10. to have a idea of where a vehicle is built the 1st digit of the vin plate is the country eg toyota jap vehicles start JTD the j means japother toyotra like hilux MRO mean tiawan or malasia not 100% on which 1 but the M is the country some other eg 6=australia W=germany A= africa if anyone knows any more let me know

  15. you've never seen royal purple its purple, redline gear oils red, blue and light poo brown oil colour doesnt mean much these days as long as its not black brand is something to concider main thing is the grade is ok for engine and driving conditions
  16. rolla boy you also forgot that current camry and aurions have 150000km interval fuel filter replacemant and older models were 75000km and with diesel hilux and hiace if any owners read this you should replace your fuel filters every 20-50000km as our diesel in australia is well **** and injectors and pumps arnt cheap but fuel filters are $40
  17. the fuel filter is located in the engine bay under the charcoal canister agianst the firewall on the left side you will need a 17mm socket and extention and ratchet 1/2" or 3/8" drive a 14mm pipe spaner or crows foot to suit 3/8 ratchet and 2x 10mm bolt hold it to a bracket on the firewall the 14mm flare nut under the fuel filter can be difficult to loosen and can also be tight to undo on 17mm bango fitting on top of filter be sure to replace wahers on top and bottom of fitting when fitting new filter be sure to start 14mm flare nut to bottom of filter before securing 2x10mm bolts of bracket hope this helps
