Just in case anyone, was interested, Terry Shield Toyota in Sydney, specifically said "we are unsure of how this happened, but the clutch in the was eaten away, and ... (Didnt hear the rest as all I could think of was "WTF clutch in an auto?") And we have to order something with transmission from Japan, and it will take about 4 weeks"

To 're-cap on what I'm thinking, is that my 2014 Aurion just happens to be a lemon :(

Hey All, I recently purchased a new Aurion , and it has done a total of 10,000 km.

My GF and I decided to go on a trip yesterday, but half way through the trip to Sydney, after stopping for a rest, it got quite hard to take the car out of 'P' and made a big thumping noise when it did.

Next while driving and having to slow down to 80 km/h I noticed that at one point the car wouldn't shift to a lower gear, and when it did change gears, either higher or lower, it was an extremely rough shift. (I was not using the paddle shift)

Now today while driving to Bathurst , I decided to stop at Toyota Bathurst, and get them to check it out. And the issue just got worse, after about 5 minutes of driving it with the service person, the car decided to completely not move anymore.

It is now at Toyota being looked at.

Would anyone know what might've happened to the car? Since the car is less than 1 month old, can I get a newer one? If not how long does this issue take to repair.

Also I noticed after the car decided to not move, when I put the gear into either D or R, the car would not automatically move at all, and applying acceleration only made the revs top out at 2K and not go higher.

- I noticed there was a post about this, but wasn't sure if it was related to a new car that hasn't even done over 40,000km.

Hey All, a friend of mine purchased a ZR6, and before I advise him that the stock head unit has RCA output, I needed to know.

How am I to help him install just an amp to run his subs in the boot?

He said he doesn't wanna cut any wires, but is willing to do others...

Sorry that I'm asking the question, because at the time I thought it would be easy so I stupidly said yes without actually seeing the inside.

Vaz in White corolla with Black front lip is running late, please wait till 10:30 at pre meet! I'll be there.

Or, I'll change the into a new formula, it's called the "Black Hole" That way, you's would be bound to see me :)

You guys have still not spotted me! I'm gonna now paint my car super white so white that it blinds you when you just look at it.

Any body know the address for the tennis club on springy road?

- edited the wrong place to post

Vaz is coming, with a +1 for a different car.

If anyone is selling Corolla Headers I would be down to buy, I am currently unsure of the price they would go for 2nd hand, but is willing to negotiate.

Hey All, I'm very unsure if I can still buy specific Weapon R headers, 4-2-1. Or the NST Pulley for the ZRE, is anyone still modding their ZRE?

Next Week Friday IT IS :)

dwee/duy - please organise karts next week. We got guys hungry for battle!

Lets hope I don't cop another kart-wheel to the left knee cap this time, that freakn hurt haha

I'm actually hoping I don't head on with you... That gave me whiplash!

Still I vouch for Karts! Wanna try the one handed steering!

But also, wanna go eat out!!!

Yeah come to think if it, 2 hours seems a bit long, but maybe 1 whole hour would be better IMO :)

I 3rd Go-Karts as well!

Is there any way of getting a deal from them? Like make a booking, and we can go on a go kart race for 2 hours? Or not possible?

Maybe a way to extend the racing to 20 minutes each?

just my input it's probably not possible even if we beg...

Yep I'm in :) This time I'm not in Sydney, so I'll be in this time :)

- & DW drifto, yep my shout for you!

Even though I already said I'm in, I'm still in!

Just wish i could change HID's to 5000k instead of 6000k!

Sorry but I need to bail, still not in Melbourne

only for you bubz ;)

Yeah count me in :)

+1 For Karts

Well, all I know now, to turn the Engine Light off, you need to thrash the crap outta the engine...

Because it's been two days now, and I've clocked up just over 350km's since Thursday, and no CEL light no more.. Mind you I still have everything exactly the same, same petrol from almost the same pump, from the same servo... No other mods...

So I now believe that the CEL light is only a TEMP issue...

Hey Ivaz, which corolla did you install the CAI into?

I want to do the CAI/Custom Exhaust combo and have been reading up about it the last few days.

I was assuming that the INJEN CAI had some issue with the 08 model ZRE's and threw the CEL, however after looking through members threads and other threads, i came up with a little table.

The majority of ZRE owners have not had an issue with it. So im guessing, could it be possible that there was a bad batch of INJEN CAI's?

John, Dwee and Tom, did you guys all purchase the CAI off the same seller at the same time?

Yeah it was installed on a 09 Built ZRE (February) so technically still counted as an 08 Corolla...

I bought a 2010 Corolla AF Sensor & gonna install that 2moro...

The guy at LeManz Footscray said, it shouldn't make a difference at all, seeing as it"s exactly the same, only difference is model number --"

But I shall soon find out, after I install it and reset ECU for a whole 12 hours again :)

Humm, well I'm going to Toyota tomorrow, to go buy a 2009+ MAF sensor (I do know it may mess with my cars ECU), but anything to get rid of that engine light...

& Honestly, I'm unsure if changing MAF's to a new version will do anything... I'm assuming the ECU needs to be the newer one...

soo im guessing your cel came back ? :P

Yes it did, but i'm not getting a Solid CEL light... Like after work today, it was no longer on... & it came back on, while I was driving up Victoria ST, after going to Richmond... But then when I got to work, before I turned teh car off, the CEL light went off?

But when I turned the car back on, the CEL light was on straight away...
