deng...

Sorry guys. I can't meet you guys up in sydney because I am working in Tumut now.

It looks like I can come back to Sydney 2 weeks later for 2days off...

So...VX-F, if you don't mind, could you please post my set to my address?

I will PM you my address.

Also, let me know about the postage cost too so I can pay you.

VX-F in that case I will PM you my address.

Cheers

I live in eastern suburbs, Kensington.

Doing the driving test hopefully this week, but again, failed twice already. So im not countin on it.. :D

Haha...

I am 15 mins away from there. I use to go to UNSW. know the area very well. Maybe JIN and I can meet you somewhere in your area.

not a massive fan of neon so a little over the top for me the red dash lights still looks standard

hahah yer i know... i changed them to blue but i wont be able to have good pictures till 2night when its dark lmao... and well i went out to get myself a Calibre Performance Filter (made for holley) but da guys said it wont fit blah blah blah and so on lmao... my mate put 1 in his Laser screw him he had to modify it but i aint willing to put it in and buying it if i dnt know how too.

With Older cars you cant do much with them because its hard to get a body kit on them and so on... but i seen old cars lowered and rims they friken look beautiful but i dnt have the time and money to waste to be able to afford that

Little advise from experience mate, when you have a "P" attached to your number plates, plus so many colourful lights in/out of your car, and pumping out loud music, you just made yourself a COP magnet.

Forget the switches, do you know how many unmarked cop cars around? and they are not just Commodores or Falcons.

BTW under your name on the left, in the model section, you spelt Corolla wrong. shouldn't make that mistake if you consider yourself as a Corolla lover B)

Ok Sydnians...Confirmed that I'll be gettin the items and it'll arrive by around next week.

Which means I'll be gettin ur items Jin and SemiAutoG22.

I'll post it either on the same day or the day after i receive the post.

I'm actually pretty happy for a quick meet for the 3 of us, but the problem is I can't drive till i pass my driving test.

I'm also hardly at home.

So yea, dw about pickin up. Lemme do the postage for u and Jin.

Good News for the Aurion Crew B)

i have just put in the packages with your eyelids at the post office, so they will get sent out this arvo, and arrive sometime next week.

The sydney people i have yet a name to an address... so i will do yours tomoz.

VIC and W.A have been sent

and i have 1 left over :o

it should be sera709's but she/he had yet to pay, so they are up for sale :D

First in, best dressed B)

Evo

I want it! Me me me!

okay, so i've got a question...

you bought your TRD brand new, no?

i was under the impression that all TRD's automatically came with the TRD floor mats as standard?

i could be wrong... but if my memory serves me correctly, this was not even a bargaining matter for me... the guy just said that they "come with free mats"...

its quite possible that 1) i'm wrong, or 2) that was a promo at the time i bought my car..

Everything cost extra. The place I bought mine had 4 TRDs, none of them had mats. I got the weather shield for free though.

How cool are those slim shields with chrome trims.

When I bought a corolla last year, I was told all extras were free too. But when I got the receipt each item has a price next to it. I guess for the top model you have, everything would be there but already included in the price you paid.

Btw there's no more new TRD, I could only get ex demo/fleet

Hi all, new member. I have had a 2000 Corolla in family since 2001. Have just purchased a second one, Corolla Ascent hatch, 2008 that is to be picked up next week. The old Corolla has 215,000 on her and has been faultless and will become my daughters car when she gets a licence. I live at Whittlesea with family and am a motorbike rider myself for my transport. My wife uses corolla.

Welcome to the forum!

You will love the new model Corolla, so much better than the previous models.

I just bought a car a few days ago, had to wait for 4 days before I picked it up. So I know how you feeling at the moment, hang in there mate. B)

update Aurion Crew,

payment has finally gone through, so now roughly 4-5 days more and i will have them :D

Evo

Damn, looks like I am too late :(

Second group...?

it just makes me laugh sometime when i see someone's holden, and ferrari badges on the steering wheel or a HSV seat cover.. floor mat with trd? just buy a trd badge and sew it onto your mat~

I would laugh at those type too but this is not case here. I was after something originally from TRD. A badge on the mat is not a solution for me.

Gees 10k on your Aurion! You must be rich.

If you post a list of all the mods you did to your Aurion with 10k, I bet you something would be laughable too (to me at least0 but hey, that's not why we are here in this forum, right? B)

hey everyone,

i got a problem with my tyres. when i make a turning, i felt the tyres were very slippy. I just got these tyres for one month, the brand is KYOTO. and the tyres store ppl said there were very cheap, thatz why it happened. And i am thinking to get new tyres for the front. I got two brands, one is Falken, another is Kumho. Did anyone hear them before? They are all $160 each, which is one better? and should i need to change them? these tyres come with the new rims. i just feel unsafety. any suggestion?

all best

I have used both Falken and Kumho for my old car before(18's). Personally I didn't like the Falken, a bit too lound and hard. The Kumho I used had better grip and wasn't that lound. (On a RWD though)

I used to have a pic of it but can't find it. Anyways, the only difference between the TRD floor mats and the standard Aurion floor mats is that there is 'TRD' written on a metal plate instead of the word 'Aurion'. Same deal with the Sportivo mats.

I just want to see if it's worth the money.

I wouldn't say they are worth it but if I had a TRD Aurion, I wouldn't want to put the standard Aurion mats in mine. I'm just picky with things like that though.

Edit: This is about the best example I have to show what I meant about the 'TRD' text:

And to give an idea on positioning, these are what the Sportivo mats are like (mind the blurry photo, my camera is charging at the moment so I won't take another):

Thanks DJKOR for you reply. Didn't notice there were no mats after I took the car home. Damn, Could ask for free when I was bargaining there. :(

how much kw does that give on the wheel? <_<

Try putting those mats on the dyno and it'll tell you

Not everything is about power mate.

Did know there are rev heads here, or just spammers <_<

Anyone has a photo of the TRD floor mats for Aurion?

They cost close to 200 bucks a set. The shop didn't have the catalogue.

I just want to see if it's worth the money.

Anyone?

Inner west? I think i've seen you mate. have you ever been driving through auburn area?

Oh yeah...black is such a b!tch to keep it clean really..

and the problem is...once I wash my car, it rains next day...WTF!!

Yeah I go Auburn all the time, use to live in Lidcombe. But now trying to stay away from the drive bys hehe.

Welcome aboard mate.

Where about sydney?

I've seen a couple white TRD one on the road currently.

BTW, installing HID do not require the bumper off.

Also, for the fog lights, you can just open up the wheelhousing from the side.

If you have big hands, you're gonna have alot of swear words tho..

Inner west mate. Nice ride you got there. Love the black but I am too lazy to wash the car :P thats why I got a white one.

Thanks for the tips I will start working on it this weekend and take some photos hopefully.

welcome mate :)

white is a really nice colour in the TRD, HID's are a little tricky on the aurion but there are threads about it, and how to remove the front bar. K&N drop in is a good start, or even some mufflers if u want a little bit of a note (if your that way incline)

look forward to seeing some pics :)

S or SL?

Thanks mate. It's a S, SL only comes in black and silver I believe.

Yeah I saw that thread about removing the bumper bar. Had a look the engin bay, head lights conversion shouldn't be too hard, but not sure about the fog lights.

Eventually I will change the mufflers, have to see how quick I get bored with the quietness. (it sounds sweet when I floor it though)

Am thinking of strut brace too. where do you get yours?

Cheers!

I live in Sydney mate. Haven't had a chance to take photo yet. It's original in white.

Mods... won't do anything for the look, good enough. I got HID kits took off from the rolla,

Hope it's not too hard to put in the Aurion.

maybe start with a K&N air filter what do you reckon?

Nice wheels btw, the original silver wheels don't look good on black, good choice ;)

Got a new Corolla last year, after my V8 retired. Nice little thing to drive but in the back of my mind always miss the power and the space. Went past a Toyota dealer one day, nearly bought a Aurion ZR6 after test drive. Very impressive performance, plus all the fancy stuff...

but after tested the TRD, fell in love with it rightaway. The supercharger really made difference. And the suspension and brakes were awesome! Wasn't happy about the Camry looking inside (apart from the seats) but I can live with it. Found this forum few days ago, people here are friendly and helpful, signed up...

So here I am, your new member, looking forward to meet you (mainly in the Avalon/Aurion model page I guess). B)
