  1. If you watch video 6 of the recon run, you'll find that same Corolla next to us at a set of lights. :D I never said it was any good. I'm just stating it was gold and seeing a Gold Camry in general is a rare sight! Other than that it's utterly useless.
  2. Nah, bone stock. That's what set it apart. :D
  3. I tend not to see any TOCAU guys on the road although I've been spotted twice in as many months which was funny as for ages I never was. Although Tash, Babs and I spotted ANOTHER gold Camry Sportivo the other week. Did you hear about that Benji? :P
  4. Man I can't get over your Car renderings! And what are the odds of you finding me on DeviantART seriously haha. I know it wouldn't be much different but i'd love for you try a render of my aurion with the gold paint. my friend tried and its very hard to get the gold right. :P Still loving your ideas though!
  5. Just thought i'd add this into the mix as well. A fancy GPS log that I took on the trip :) Fancy GPS Log!
  6. Oh man Tash you didn't add me to the list. You know I'm comin' this time haha. :P Oh well, add me to ze list of awesome attendees! It seems we have quite a few birthdays this month. Mine being on the 28th (day after) and one being on the actual day. Sounds like cake is a must and is no longer a lie. :D Also my mate Andrew is gonna make an appearance riding shotgun with my good self. He's looking to upgrade his lonely little Hyundai Getz in favor of something more.....reliable. :D Here's a photo I prepared earlier of our meet point. VicRoads at Kyenton has approximately 30-40 spaces tops with plenty of driving room to maneuver cars if anyone wants a photo shot before we go. :) You can get to this location by taking the exit shown in the below picture off the Calder Freeway then at the BIG roundabout go straight through to Beauchamp Street. Which the VicRoads is the first right hand entrance. NOTE: One is entry and the other driveway is exit. Be careful. :) I've tested this driveway with my car which is lowered, driveway entrance is safe as is the exit. :) We also have some videos of the Recon Run that Tash, Babs, Benji and myself did which show a Aurion's Roof view of the route (although Benji missed a turn) so it will give you an idea of road conditions etc. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 ----------- Overall I can't wait to go! :D I hope to see you all there!
  7. Yeah sorry guys. Definitely not gonna make it today. Not only have I had really bad night last night, i've woken up feeling rather sick this morning. I don't think the heat will work for me this time sorry guys. Have a great day though, I can already see it's gonna be good. :)
  8. Wanted: Someone to respray his entire car and replace front and rear bumpers and fix the bonnet and drivers side panel. :(

  9. Bummer :( Well make sure you can come to the next one cos its the meet up our way! So you've all got to keep Sunday the 27th of Feb free! Yep! Sunday the 27th! KEEP IT FREE! Also watch these totally cool videos. They're from our recon run. :P 6 part series, only got 4 up at the moment. (they're 1.6GB each lol) Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 EDIT: Sorry to hijack, but im proud of my videos haha.
  10. Too much Initial D anime bought the Tofuboi name to fruition. That and in my gaming race sims, i tend to drift a lot giving me a similar name haha. :P Thanks for spotting me! :P
  11. Hey Reece, will definitely consider it! Could you please pm me of what you have in mind or fb pm me? Thanks. Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you! :) Wicked! Barb will be driving? :P Still don't know what to do, have to decide soon.. Lol Yes i'll be there... looking forward to my first official meet... and to introduce Luna... Congrats on the first post Babs! :P We need to get you a photo to put on your profile by the way. Now let's get down to the nitty gritty. I'm gonna be a maybe for this, for a couple of reasons. 1. Currently living off $95 a week... Yep $95 a week, and $80 of that has to go to fuel alone. So you see where that is going. - 2. Work. As most of you know I work for a Telco, with the QLD floods and what not our work queues have gone up expidentially so work is pretty much wanting everyone on deck 24/7 until we can get that work done. So if work wants me on that particular day then i'll pretty much have to take it. But i'm not saying I'm not going yet, just saying I'm a maybe.
  12. I live out there man. I live in Sunbury haha.
  13. Cheers mate. I've spoken to Kenpo through PM and he pretty much says the same thing. I think I'll order one now from eBay. Woohoo, my next mod is coming up lol Then you'll have to come past the airplane viewing area again and find me haha. :P I never thought i'd see anyone up this way. :P
  14. Even with the hardened suspension on the Sportivo. I found that it still improved the setup at least 40-50% better than it was without it. At first I thought it was the placebo effect but i can still feel today that it feels better than a mates sportivo ZR6 that doesnt have it.
  15. I had the top brace installed on my Aurion for about a week before I got the rear sway bar installed and noticed a difference. I think you'll notice more of a difference if you have something that isn't a Sportivo as the suspension setup is obviously diff between the stivo series and the atx and others. Definately worth it in my opinion.
  16. It makes me wonder why Silver-Aurion was up my way to begin with haha. Also Tash and I only went to the airplane viewing area near oaklands junction. then went for a blast down wildwood :P
  17. That will be my good self! It's about time someone spotted me haha. What the hell were you doing on that road man? I only spotted you for like 2 seconds as we both went past each other at 100KM/h! I had a good feeling it was you too which is why I posted it here. But what a random spot that was in middle of no where outside of melb. I'm too good B) . Who were all the passengers? If you spotted the car at around late Sunday night (8:00pm-8:30pm or so). Tash would have been in the car as well as her friend. :)
  18. That will be my good self! It's about time someone spotted me haha.
  19. 27TH OF FEBURARY IS OUT OF THE QUESTION! ..... It's my birthday the day after. ;P (28th) Well on the 26th I'm thinking of doing something so 27th ill prolly be a bit ehhhhhhh. We'll see! Also recon run is still scheduled for that Jan date! :D
  20. Nice work! I really like that. I'm really impressed with all these little things you've been doing with the Aurion. Makes me wish I could get off my butt and do some haha.
  21. Got a quick question for all the gurus and Daryl out there. (Daryl's more than a Guru, he's a god.) :P I'm obviously getting the pulling to the left issue finally after all this time, so I need to get that sorted. However I am also noticing recently that I'm getting some really strange vibration at 100-110-115 km/h intermittantly. It can cause the steering to shudder noticeably for a few minutes then suddenly it'll be gone. A particular place I spoke to thinks it may just be road condition mixed with the modified suspension making the car more suspectable to changes in condition through the steering wheel. This i didn't buy at all. I've had all my tyres changed and my 18" wheels balanced and aligned multiple times. Balancing is fine on all of them, alignment seems to change every so often, most likely the pulling to the left issue doing that. However it got me thinking, do you guys think that the vibration could be caused by the intermediate shaft issue? It hasn't been replaced yet and it's only just started happening oh about 10,000km ago? EDIT: Not sure how I'm going to go by this either because the car's out of warranty now. :(
  22. I'd actually go on Friday night if I wasn't having to work at 6:00am the next morning. :(
