Commodores are 5x120. Gen 3/4/5/6 Camry is 5x114.3.

That answers itself.

wow thankyou for the speedy response lol

ur very knowledgeable dj

a friend of mine told me that the stud pattern on my car is the same as a commodore.

is this true? as im looking to purchase new rims very soon.

any help would be much appreciated

70litres??

i thought it was 60....actually im pretty sure its 60 lol

sorry to hijack the thread but i just looked on the HPF website that u posted

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/performanc...ement_Piggyback

does the piggyback need a dyno tune or is it plug and play....very tempting

turning 19 at the end of september.

I'm a full time uni student so thats about 30hours a week in class, plus study, assessments etc.

I'm also a driver for dominos currently working 35 hours a week.

Trying hard to save money, but petrol is taking alot away from me, and now i need service and new tyres. plus i still owe a little of the car, but its to my dad so he understands. As for spending it going out and such, i dont really have anytime to socialise.. lol work every night, and my 2 days off so.

i have started to try saving my tips which is tax free cash in hand for a rainy day. but the temptation is there to spend on the car :P

Spotted a black pre-facelift stivo on Mona Vale road last night about 11:30ish.

lowered, black, exhaust and nice rims

i think the plates were BDA-...

i was in the white camry infront of u trying to get u to go for it, but u were driving like an old lady...

im pretty sure he is from TOCAU as he had the DIY JDM taillights done..looked sweet thats wot caught my attention

EDIT: Think it might've been northy??

I'll have a sniff anyway, hopefully someone will make one up for me.

u could just use the 3inch stuff they sell at supa cheap. but the only thing then is u'd have to buy the silicon reducers, which i think are about $30 each????

but man, lol the end result is well worth it. :D

i asked a question in the aurion sub topic about engine parts being transferable from aurion to camry. i noticed that a few of the boys said that the suspension parts were similar.

will these fit on my 98 cam?

uni bump B)

just to keep you all informed of the situation.

i called the police the other day to let them know of what happened and to ask them if i now had a driving record etc.

The lady on the other end of the line was a perfect example of someone who was just doing her job, not going on a power trip like the other guy.

sh could'nt apologise enough to me for the behaviour of the other officers, but said that there really wasn't much point in putting a formal complaint as it would most likely result in nothing happening.

she also said that i DONT have a record now, so the officers at the time were trying to scare me by saying that i would get in alot of trouble if i got pulled over again.

so there, i can relax now. lol all finished

it will sound faster though

i have no experience with the sound that it will make on the sportivo, but on my v6

That P-plate looks fine to me. At least, it should be obvious what it is to anyone who has ever seen one before, imo. My P-plate is stuck inside my rear window, and whilst it is there I doubt that it is as obvious as yours.

NSW road rules state that by law the P-plate must be on the exterior of the vehicle and un-obstructed, that plate is clearly obstructed. and u can see from how obvious my front one is, that im not obstructing it on purpose or trying to be sneaky.

thats not the point. the point is the way he reacted. if he had of said mate ur plate is obstructed can u fix it.. blah blah ur lucky we're not fining people atm etc.

calling me a f***king d**khead and saying that i better be sorry and telling me to get the f***k out of here is wot i protest to

and there r people with MUCH more obstructed p's around, that honestly is not bad, i hnow have to put up with my reverse light being blocked, which considering im a pizza deliverer makes it hard to reverse out of peoples driveway's etc...

Were there other people around though? Maybe that cop thought you were doing much faster than you really were, and it wasn't until he went back to the patrol car and checked that he realised you weren't - hence to save face he started picking on you for other things.

Since it was at night too, chances are the cop was just ****** off and wanted to go home - every job has workers who don't want to be there. I'm not saying that justifies the actions, but it might explain them a bit.

yea he was directing traffic at a blackout so he probs was p***ed about that and took it out on me, ahwell.

= life i guess

The other night was driving home from North Sydney on Pacific Highway, minding my own business, no music not speeding, not doing ANYTHING wrong. anyways, as i was driving up ahead a policemen runs into the middle of the road with a red light waving me down. so naturally i stopped... as it turns out the traffic lights were out, and a few of the street lights so he was angry that i didn't slow down enough, even though i did not know they were out, there was no police car with flashing lights or anything......

i rolled down my window "your a f***king idiot, give me ur f***king licence. on the stop suspension, ur walking home tonight mate" i was like wtf? so i gave him my licence and moved up about 10meters out of the way of traffic. he gave my licence to one of the other officers who went into their car for about 5mins...came back to me, wtf r u doing driving like that, this is a high predestrain area, they dont want to get hit by u. i said that i was doing the speed limit. then he got all defencive 'u know ur p-plate is obscured, i cant see it, get the f***k out and change it now. so i got out, he walked around my car looking at it, i changed my plate and apollogised for it not being correct. he goes u better be sorry, gave me my licence and told me to ***** off.

i managed to take a photo of how it was positioned before i corrected it for the officer. tell me wot u think...was all of that fuss necessary?

btw i am not in anyway making judgements on the police force. i understand that the majority are champions, who are just doing their job, but there r sum real F***K heads around, the same with any group of people i guess. just happend to be my lucky night

anyway i didn't end up getting a fine, cause he said they weren't giving out fines for sum reason?? not sure

Is that what you meant? Oh yeah, got rid of the black strip across the doors...

sex on wheels :D wonder wot it would look like with an intercooler ...hint hint

thanx dude, lol u got wot i meant about the vertical supports. 1 more thing....lol smoke the indicators, both front and side for me and paint the mirrors white

here u go addy

perfect dude :D

can u change the grill to just mesh without the badge? and also at the bottom of the bumper can u delete the vertical supports of the grill if that makes sense...

Can u guys photoshop mine. I want it lowered about 2inches (realistic) and 35% tints and these light 5 rims say 18inch

thanks in advance

Hey,

a lot of the suspension components would be swappable. I know when you order third party parts, they usually list the same part number for both the aurion and camry.

ie. Pedders springs, coilovers etc

yea i was more after engine parts. like TB, manifold etc

thanx guys...thats a shame though

honda obviously think like me....lol

hey guys

a completely random question out of the blue. my friend has an accord euro manual which he is modding, he seems to be able to get alot of parts from dc5 integras etc etc.

was wondering if it was a similar story i got a 1mz-fe are there any aurion parts that can cross over? eg intake manifold or exhaust headers etc etc

thanx for taking the time to read :)

if u want my honest honest oppinion.....leave the body the way it is....

spend the money on the engine instead. make it go rather than just show.

but its up to u
