  1. Searched the forums and couldn't find an answer to this yet. So what's the consensus about Max Tyre Width on the atx/prodigy gsv40r (1st gen)? I've been running Michellin Pilot Sport 3 16/55/225 for the past year, been great. However, recently done a rotate at Jax and they reckon 2 of my shocks (front LHS and rear RHS) are failing. Bit of oil seeping out top (hardly noticeable, dust covering it mostly). Unrelated? No signs of rubbing I can see with the 225's but wondering if anyone else had any experiences. Cheers
  2. Good question... I've never seen any of these 'traditional' items mentioned in the Aurion service book... big hmmmm...
  3. My hands up for one of these, just the unit, no reverse camera.
  4. Seen a few reviews of the Primacy LC having poor to bad performance in the wet, did you see those reviews? I too will be looking for replacement for my 16" Prodigy soon, however I'll absolutely be wanting to change from the stock 215 width to 225, and todo so believe I need to reduce my profile from 60 to 55 - I'm fine with that. Worth the extra 10mm of width on the road!
  5. It's not that hard to do for the Aurion. Once I do mine I'll post up an FAQ for people who want to do one themselves. Unless there's already one posted here somewhere It may not be the difficulty, but rather the time and patience involved. It would be good to buy a pre-made solution like this for the Aurion, but so far I've only seen them in the States. Agreed, pre-made solution would be great. This looks to be the idea here unsure whether that's a custom job though. Feel free Benji to post a "guide/how to" if you make one. Sure many folks would appreciate. Thanks
  6. Anything like this available to buy for the Aurion??
  7. M1 EP 5W30 is a Grade 4 synthetic oil. Take 10 mins or less to Google it yourselves if you wish.. Best regards,
  8. I've beeb running this stuff in my Aurion for the past 2 months. Done 2 trips up NSW coast since and general round about town here in Sydney. What can I say? All seems good. It looks like the genuine product - don't know if there's such a thing as fake? The labels look very high quality/original with like a 'dimpley' feel - strengthening my hopes of it being genuine. The original seals on the bottles seem reassuring. I purchased the M1 EP 5W30 in a box of 6 x 1quart. It's just under 6Lt in metric, but I found, unlike all places saying the 2GR-FE takes 6.1, 6.2? Lt of oil, when changed with filter, Mine, when fully drained and new filter, only took about 5.8L. Even after driving around, most I could top it up with was a 100mL before it reaching the upper level on the dip stick. Yes I drained it fully on a flat surface till there was basically no drip. Shrugs. Oil seems clean as - but it has an amber 'tinge' (spelling?). Apparently what the M1 EP product looks like (found out from half an hours research at the time). M1 EP, or Mobil1 Extended Performance, as far as I know is the highest quality fully synthetic oil available (other then high end specialty oils like amsoil, etc, tho those products are all debatable apparently..) here's an example of the M1 EP 5W30 product that's thankfully available for us. To make it better, Nick from Gl Lubricatants, who's the eBay seller of those items, is an absolute champion! I had him tack a 1quart bottle on my order cause I found out re the 6.1 6.2L issue. His communication was 2nd to none. Pity I never needed it. 5w30 would likely be most appropriate for most ppl's Aurions in AU I'd say. The aussie retail 'fully synthetic' M1 products, containing 'synthn'? or somthing like that, I dunno.. might be same stuff. All I know is this is the US product and there's been tests conducted on it, and it's the bee's knee's, so they say. Best regards.
  9. BP Ultimate 98 apparently has the lowest Sulfur content of any of the PULP's. This is a benefit to the cat convertor and the reason 'fuel smell' is not so evident.
  10. Thanks mate - Did it contain the Clem7 / Centenary HWY adjusts? If not, do you still think the maps themselves are an update as such? Dunno which to choose - Sensis/Whereis or Navteq(??).. What the diff's??? Is there a way to check what kind one is currently running? All I know if I have iGo 8.? (have to go and check.. 8.3 rings a bell but) Thanks
  11. cool.. balls stated rolling thanks.
  12. Thanks Arc. See the SST 6.9's there are $299, at my rip off merchant they're more than $100 cheaper, otherwise another option cheaper than FHRX is Ryda. I'm gunna try here to get my $ back.
  13. Can't comment on those but the 6x9's I decided on were the Soundstream sst6.9. Can't believe it but! - retailer I purchased from - Direct deposited money nearly 3 weeks ago - got a automated order placed email, but that's it. No other replies to my inquiries, phone goes straight to voicemail :( upset... So avoid http://www.icaraccessories.com.au at all costs - any advice on how to chase this up now to get my $ back?? Fair trading ??
  14. What's the max width rubber I could fit on the stock (16") Wheel width? I know my stocks are 16/60/215 at the moment, could I sqeeze say a 16/60,55?/225 on, without changing my stock 16" Alloys? (I have Prodigy 07) According to these specs at CarBudy, the 16" stock alloys are 6.5" wide. Cool little Tyre Size Calculator I found here, according to which I could go 225 or 235, so apparently I can.. hmm.. What's possible concerns? Wouldn't the rubber be buldging over the sides abit? Isn't this a safety concern, i.e. cornering and the tire could pop off! or something? lol If no real concern, and I can go 225 or 235, can anyone say whether it can be done on the AT-X or Prodigy (pretty sure they have same suspension setup?) without having to roll anything or change any suspension Thanks
  15. Definitely is annoying... how great would an ECU flash fix be!
