I am absolutely loving your car Steven. I got a gold Aurion myself and I wish I had the kind of ideas and skills you have at modifying it. It looks really nice. :)

Decided to skip HID mods for the Aurion and just bought 4000K BlueVision's for normal lights. Fog lights and parkers to follow. If I can be bothered ripping the bumper apart. :P

Went to chuck in some Philips BlueVision globes to replace the High Beams in the Aurion. Only to find the stock globes and the Philips globes are slightly different and will not fit in the Aurion holders. :(

I'm sure all HB3 globes would be the same but I guess not. :(

Also fitted all my lighting on the interior of the car to SMD LEDs. :D

i'm gonna be a real downer here and bail on you guys once again, many apologies but i forgot this is my off-pay week and im a little short on the old fundings.

.... plus my mates dad is a steward for the F1 and i scored free access to practically anywhere the whole weekend ... :D

sorry guys! :( if anyone still wants to use my gopro gear though i AM willing to lend it out to some of you but it will be a boomerang. :P i can see if Zeinheiger is willing to take it up with him and bring it back. Let me know guys.

Video from inside the car with the muffler delete

Also check my Youtube channel as I've uploaded a few video's from the drags today, link in sig

Nice! :D

Also love the drags vids, poor VX didn't know what hit him I reckon. :P

I won't be racing at Winton this week, benji will be, I might wait until I upgrde the brakes to do some racing... Will also look into the fluid, but I'm pretty certain the tranny fluid is completely sealed no maintenance kinda thing, will book it in for service and mention it. I won't mention what I was doing when I discovered the problem though :P

This is why I like my Toyota Service Team. They know what I do, what i've done, what i plan to do and they do stuff to the car to plan around it during services etc. That's why I like em. :D

Sunbury exhaust and performance center, I've already given them the heads up on installing my springs just after Winton

Basically the same mob whos done at least two Aurion exhaust setups now. Mine and Dales. :P

That this weekend? I'm working 6am to 3pm :(

Goony doctors can help you out with that one, just go and see Dr How Long for your medical certificate

I've gotten certificates before without being sick, just say you have a cough and you work in the food industry, and BAM, free certificate

Yeah no. :P

Had too many days off work lately.

Yeh I'm up for that :D Is there any others that are interested?

Wicked!!! Make sure you bring your spare helmet again... I may just have to buy it off you, lol... Maybe I should make a new thread seeing if anyone wants to come with to race/spectate

That this weekend? I'm working 6am to 3pm :(

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and go Full Exhaust with Varex's on the rear. :P

Bet I'm wrong.

Either that or it's a K&N Typhoon Intake.

Bet I'm wrong on both accounts, I seem to be good at that lol.

I might just have to go out one night and take random photos with my mates DSLR hoping you might show up HAHA. :P I'm sure I know where those were taken tho. ;)

Ta daaaaaa

I am trying to figure out where this is. It almost look like it's at the oval near the bowling club, but could also be the oval over on mitchells lane or wherever. :P Needs moar photo shoots. :P

Gotta agree looks great this is my fav Aurion thread atm :D i'm off to the shops to get a can of satin black for my rear badge :)

Nooo, get gunmetal grey, I'm trying to start a trend here

Actually, I wonder how body colour would look

Hey Dale wanna do my badges as well? :P

Pretty good chance I'll be able to come watch! :D Don't feel too confident running the Aurion on the track plus i'm poor. :P

I do have a GoPro HD HERO with mounts that I am willing to pass around the cars during the day if they want some epic incar footage. :) I'll try get my hands on a DSLR and bring the video camera for extra awesome as well! :)

Nathan, can I borrow that wand...

I will be doing this also in the next few weeks, also, you wanna come drag on Saturday the 19th of this month at Calder? Daytime drags... I know we forgot to invite you last time... I think Benji said he's up for it again, I'll talk Bevo into it too, Aurion V Aurion V Aurion V Aurion

I think i'll be working that day, not sure yet. But i'll let you know. :)

I waved my magic wand and made my engine bay from this.

to this

Oh yeah. :P

The bmw is now sold for a bargain sale of $3950, not really happy with the price I got for it, but needed it gone, it's the best I could get, it was going to be $4000 but since the car hadn't been started in a while, the battery was almost flat, so I agreed to take $50 off the price so they could get a new battery... Dunno what battery for a bmw only costs $50 though

On the bright side, I'm putting some of that into the loan I still have a teeny bit of money owing on and the rest goes to Alexia

Cue "James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover"

Good to see the BMW is sold.

However if it was an E30 325, I know someone who woulda bought it at top dollar HAHAH. Pity it wasnt. :(

Hooray for the BMW sale! :D

Good to see that Alexia is gonna get her needed pampering. :D

Drags were good :) We'll see about the Camry - if I want a new clutch it has to be made cos I can't find one for the ACV40R, the OEM clutch isn't bad, I just don't fully trust it in that kind of scenario...

Calipers look good! How easy was it to do and would I need to do a wheel alignment again after? Also, where did you buy the can from?? I just looked them up online and they do a Bright Gold :D

I figured the OEM clutch should still be able to take a bit of a beating, not too much obviously but figured it wouldn't last long if you constantly gave it a thrashing. Needs exedy, STAT. :(

The more and more I look at those calipers, the more and more I want them in gold LOL. But I think when the BC Coilovers arrive is when i'd do it. make an uber weekend of it. :P

Minor Update: Painted the front calipers, have to work now, so will have to do the rears another day

I remember my old man painting my calipers for me on my old AE82 Rolla many moons ago and always from then on out figured it was crap. :P (I knew he meant well lol.)

But after seeing this, it's actually not too bad. :P I don't think I could paint my calipers Aurora Gold though. :P

Well if you two are interested to go, I'd be happy to pick a day, Benji will come too, 4 Aurions would be awesome, if not, more. We were trying to convince Tash to run her Camry, but she can't until she gets her clutch fixed... Oh and Girls race for free at Calder... That's good news for you Lee :P

I joke, I joke

Also, I had a couple of happy snaps taken of me from an 'official photographer when I was staging the car and when I took off, so I have to somehow find them, I think they'll be on fullboost or HPheaven as they usually cover shots for the legal off-street drags

We'll get Tash and someone else with a Camry to run.

Then we'll get John and Barb to run the rollas. :P See the diff between auto and man LOL. :D

I've actually never been before so I'm gonna be a first timer too. Actually i've never been AT ALL! :o

Good stuff Dale & Benji...flying the Aurion flag with pride,awesome to see.

Lee you're coming next time we're racing , I wanna see yours down the strip

Lee's car would probably do like a 25 second pass because of his sound system alone. ;)

It would certainly sound cool, doof doof doof down the 1/4. LOL. :D

Well everyone, Alexia lost he virginity today... And so did Abby

I'm talking about Drag Strip Virginity, me and Benji headed off to Calder Park Raceway to get a few runs in our Aurions... Sportivo VS Touring

And here's the results

And where was MY invite? :(

I was home all night. :( Shoulda just gone down lol. Oh well. Awesome vids tho. :D

Any takers? It comes with a free upgrade to large sticker for Hungry Jacks

That sticker is worth it. :P You know I saw this car around for ages and never knew it was yours until the other day lol. It's a nice car, should be sold by now. Fail. :(

Good to see you're finally taking the plunge and matching that front strut brace with one for the rear Tash! :D

Should help a fair bit. :P
