  1. Haha I feel like an outcast aswell don't you worry. There's only two or three Aurions, and trust me. Mines not really modified a whole lot. :P Not as much as 1stKill's especially... Now that's a nice Aurion. :P
  2. This man is dedicated to his job alright. He still aint back from work :P Sorry I completely forgot about this lol. Basically I uploaded the photo to Facebook but it looks kinda dodgy quality thanks to my Dad's photo taking skills. But the short story was that it had a hairline fracture from the day I installed it. It just decided to go after rust got into it and yeah. The new one is doing great though, I don't know if its placebo affect or whatever it is but it definately feels more tought than it did before (spelling mistakes are there i know), but that could be coz the old one was just worn from the beginning. I actually just got back from giving it its first serious workout since I installed it. Ran it through my little place I run and it definately felt more planted. :)
  3. just fridays when the boys from west get together for a wash/kebab/hoon (maybe) You guys need to go more west. So I can join in lol.
  4. See I found this interesting with my 90,000km service too Daryl. I had creaking-like sounds coming from the strut hats on the front suspension when turning at low speed. Took it in for a service and miraculously the sound has disappeared, yet Toyota said they never touched them at all. All they did was put some brackets on my strut brace to prevent it from rubbing against the bonnet. As it did for some time before the creaking sounds happened. Very strange. Good to see they're still gonna replace it tho.
  5. Agreed. Drove a Golf R32 a few months back, had the DSG gearbox and was rather fun to drive. :)
  6. That's the exact cause on mine aswell. Had it checked yesterday and low and behold. It's coming in from there. So they're replacing the vent and putting stuff to seal it around it too.
  7. RIGHT! I finally found the possible entrance of the leak. I noticed when I got to the car today (I had washed it yesterday), there was some condensation buildup in the passenger side tail light. Low and behold there's a puddle sitting in the bottom of said taillight! It's going in to the dealer tomorrow to have it investigated and replaced. :)
  8. You too eh? I've had this problem for a fair while myself, unfortunately we've yet to locate the cause. I've worked with my dealer for many a month trying to figure it out but just no dice. Initially it started on the drivers side, but that was a seperate issue. I hope you have better luck than I did. Can you tell me where you think it is coming from , perhaps one of the spots identified already in my vehicle? What have you tried, mine seems to be worse when you actually drive while it is raining, I think the wind pressure forces water in. Well I've had pretty much everything tried, boot seals, window realignment, grommets checked. But I suspect it's something coming up through the wheel well maybe. But I am unsure. It's only in the left pocket now. I haven't had the actual spare wheel section fill with water since a while back. So I'm not sure.
  9. You know what... I want to get one just so I can laugh at it. And laugh at it... And laugh at it... And laugh at it... And laugh at it... Then maybe try it out...And laugh at it... And laugh at it... ok im done. Anyhow the moral of this post was really that yeah, they're pretty useless. Cept for a green led, that's about it. :P

  12. Well the strut brace is replaced and all is well in the world again. Turns out we found a hairline fracture had been the cause of it all from day 1. As a result, it had been rust damaged over time and eventually snapped. Like my mech said, he had never seen one break in his life. Even aftermarket ones. Pics to follow later on when I get home from work.
  13. I think I must be lucky in this aspect. Car is up to 90,000km and still on the first rack. No clunks or knocks to report. Although now that I've said that I bet I'll start hearing them... Lol
  14. Well I'm. Waiting on a replacement to be sent out. Hopefully will be here today or tomorrow. I need it on by Friday so dad can have his camry back! Lol. Nice work on fitting it btw unique :)
  15. nfi mate. nfi. lol. Well at least it gives me an excuse to go to the newer bar. But yeah, strange that it happened.
  16. Oh well have I got some news for all of you today. :P The most amazing thing happened... </sarcasm> I started to hear that knocking sound again today, was all too familiar. But I noticed it was for ALL the wrong reasons this time. Got under the car and noticed to my suprise, the bar had snapped. Clean in two on the left hand side. I can't get a photo right now but I was absolutely dumbfounded as to how it happened. The knocking started when I was driving in a straight line not even applying pressure to the unit. Anyhow I've had to spend another $340 ordering another as the stock one I had has been turfed thanks to the old man. :S
  17. I am definately waiting for this. I am definately getting this. I want it now. :P That is all.
  18. Cheers Reece :) Haha, still got those?? The problem is someone who will install them for me - all the places I've spoken to will only install new ones due to warranty issues. Then there's always that itchy bug in the back of my mind saying I should save up for coilovers instead. Haha yep, still got them. Dont know much camry modders out there unfortunately :( But yeah, save up for coilovers if thats what you want. But just letting you know that i still got them! Also saw that your going dual exhaust? Me too tash! The dual exhaust is next on the mod list after i get my body work done. Ill let you know how it goes. and hopefully have it installed by the next meet (highly unlikely though) I'm thinking of doing Dual Exhaust on the aurion but I've always had doubts about the room required. :( Just not sure yet.
  19. I felt sad for the Aurion more after that :( Then again we did have two in the car. It'd be interesting with just myself. (Not saying anything bad, im just guessing. the scrape did sound like it came from under myself tho... interesting. lol)
  20. omg I only just got the mirror finish reference.... LOL! Anyhow guys I didn't go out on sunday like i was supposed to, wasn't feelin the best anyway. :( Really gutted I missed out guys, it looks like you had a blast. Photos look awesome too. :)
  21. have a blast guys, don't forget to take lots of photos. So gutted I couldn't make it. :(
  22. Slang match,my turn...you would need to start at the finish line to have any hope of winning. :P I'm sure you'll be representin the Aurion club. Do us proud.
  23. So guys, when we hiring a track and getting us all out on there? At least that way there will be less traffic. :P I'd sh*t my pants if I were out with that many cars that I didn't trust. (That goes with saying, I trust all you haha)
