so im guessing th dyno day is not going ahead?

would've been interested to see wot my car makes compared to when it was brand new......

are one of the restrictions that YOU MUST HAVE A TOYOTA lmao

yes....no holdens aloud..

kidding i dont think it matters, however im not a modirator so not up to me

What next?

NSW...the police state :(

Anyone who deliberately tints their windows darker than legal and then drives on the road is an idiot, plain and simple. And I see nothing wrong with the police trying to get idiots off the road. For once this is an announcement to NSW drivers that doesn't effect anyone who isn't an idiot (unlike say the suspension laws that were recently knocked back), so I don't see the concern

I disagree with you hiro. I got my tints at 20% and I don't believe that I'm an idiot driver or is proud of having darker than legal tints. And I know many people who have gotten darker tints to help with the heat especially in black cars. But yes just my opinion

i also disagree with u hiro about it not affecting everyone. just like the suspension laws. if a cop sees a P-plater car at night with dark tints they will still pull them over even if it is legal. Its like saying that all P-platers are street racers.. I dont know if ur on ur full licence but police treat u differently when ur on ur P's even if ur not doing anything wrong.

the other week i was tailed by a police car for 40minutes, i had one passanger and was doing under the speed limit. little things that the police try to do to stop the people who are idiots affect EVERYONE.

looks great man.....can u take a couple of pics of the whole car for us?

Put us down for a very likely......thats a nice long drive.

I want other camry drivers to come aswell

I have tinted the rear tail lights,

is this legal? cause i always wanted to do it to mine but im not sure if there will be trouble with the coppa's

oo and also wot did u do with ur standard wheels?

hey everybody looking for anybody who has a strut bar that fits on the 96 camry vienta 3vzfe engine i have bought 3 already and none have fitted sick of wasting money if anybody has got one or knows where i can get one plz tell me

sean

p.s i have owned the following whiteline and 2 off ebay

change the topic to strut bar....lol

and i got the same problem with the gen 4 v6, seems to be an issue with clearence over the manifold..

Stock isnt 19mm thick. The whiteline upgraded one is 19mm thick! From the superpro catalogue the stock bars comes either as 16mm or 17mm as they are the sizes that are made for gen4s. Sway bar makes the most difference. So on a budget, I'd just get the whiteline sway bar for about $180 and then work from there. The lowering springs did their job of making it stiffer and lowering the car but I personally wouldnt say it made as much difference as what a sway bar would.

my bad lol. its not 19, but now i can't remember if it was 16 or 17.....anyways the whiteline is 20mm yea?

and r the whiteline coils any good? and do u know how much they lower the car by? sorry if my noob questions are getting annoying, just tell me if they r lol

Does anyone know if the 4CYL 1998 Toyota Camry is OBD II compliant

wots OBD i saw the fuse for it the other day when i was fixing my central locking, sat there for a good 10minutes thinking of possible abreviated words but got me stumped lol

If you were in brisbane, you could come pick up the thicker touring rear sway bar that i have just sitting here :P

Touring models do have bilstein shocks and have stiffer lowered (slightly) springs from factory.

how much would it cost to get it couriered down...lol i would drive to brissy to get it, how thick is it?

and do u have ur old coilovers?

Its too big for Auspost. And courier costs heaps unfortunately. It'll be easier if you find a wrecker with it in stock. And unfortunately i dont have my old set of suspension anymore (not coil overs), I sold them a while back, had kings superlows + stock shocks.

how much u pay for the superlows? make an difference to the handling? and how thick is the touring sway compared to the others...mine is 19mm stock

Yeah, i'd only rebuild it if there is something wrong with it in the first place. OR if you are chasing big boost ie putting forged pistons and stronger shafts.

[edit] And I'd spend the money on new suspesion than ones from the wreckers. You dont know what could be wrong with them or how long they have been sitting there. You may be buying into more problems + all the suspension bar the touring and the grande are the same.

the only thing stopping me from getting new suspension is the cost. on a standard camry is it the shocks or the springs that are the major downfall. cause i could possible change one of them.....

take the donk off the car and stripping everything from the engine and put everything back in :P

yes certain wore parts gets replaced and certified after the rebuilt...

mk well its clear that i dont need the rebuild done, lol

wot about the suspension if i go to a wrecker and get a higher model one will it be different? i got a csi

ring your mechanic to get a quote...

but for a good rebuild... expect around the $3 - $4K mark.

lol thats morre than i thought it would be....wot is involved in a rebuild?

edit just read lateralus' response..shame about the suspension is ther a difference between gen 4 models ie touring, csi, grande stiffness?

Hey guys,

you all know by now wot car i have....i hope. anywho i was wondering my cars got 216xxx km on the clock, and is due for service at 219. is it worth it to have an engine rebuild, it doesn't have anything wrong with it (its a toyota :D). Just wondering wot the benefits of having a rebuild are, will it perform better? last longer? run smoother? more econonical? better acceleration? and costs involved. and wot an engine rebuild actually consists of doing.....lol

also while im on the topic of performance, does anyone know is the gen 5 stivo suspension will fit on my gen 4? and if anyone is selling, prefer just the back ones but fronts wouldn't be bad either.

thanks all

oops acidently posted twice

Well, if the light blows, it might have had over current been passed down the line to blow the fuse... why it affected your central locking? Wouldn't have a clue. Maybe it relies on the dome fuse for the light to come on when the car's unlocked? who knows... you'd only be able to get this information from someone who's had the same issue and I doubt Toyota mechanics would know the answer to that straight away mate.

wot ur saying makes sense, but the light didn't blow lol.....got me stumped it just turned off and didn't come back

Yep I'd have to agree with the "Door" fuse too... not something that I've seen happen before though. I've blown fuses when replacing tail lights and the likes, there's a few to choose from... it should be in the driver side kick panel there. Been a while since I had to look in there though.

If not, ask Dave (SupaTouring), he's pretty cluey with this stuff as well.

hey guys, thanks for the input. that night i got home and checked the door fuse...was fine, checked the power fuse was fine. i eventually got very frustrated with it and checked every fuse possible. it was the 'DOME' fuse in the engine bay. i thought that the interior light blowing a couple of hours before the central locking went was a complete coinsidence, turns out we were wrong.

fixed now, will turn my attention to the interior light, see why it caused the fuse to blow, will give u an update if u like

Hahaha... yep, they fit alright...

Daryl (DJKOR) confirmed the stud pattern with me... I know lots about Camrys, he knows lots about Aurions, so I thought I'd check with him :P

So far so good mate :)

looks good.. :D considering it for my car

btw u know alot about camrys can u have a read of my other post? in the camry section about the central locking.....

Will the standard aurion wheels fit on a gen 4 camry?

This may seem really stupid, but have you tried checking any fuses? There should be a 25A fuse labelled 'DOOR' which could possibly be blown. If that one is okay, or you replace it and it doesn't fix the problem, checking the 30A one labelled 'PWR' or 'POWER' won't hurt. That one usually is only responsible for the power windows though, but you never know.

thanks for the help, i'll try it when i get home. if it is one of the fuses, is there a logical explanation as to y it would blow? i haven't done anything out of the ordinary however, now that i think of it the interior light was playing up a couple of nights ago and its blown aswell...the night the central locking stopped. not at the same time though.

btw the fuses that ur talking about...in the engine bay or driver footwell?

damn can't make this one either, saturdays r gay for me, make them on sundays from now people....

have fun guys

btw where the hell r the camry drivers, go out and make me proud dont let the aurions and corollas take over TOCAU

hey guys

as u may or may not know i got a gen 4 camry. as the topic states last night my central locking died. i orignaly thought it was the remote so i got one of my spares and tried to re-program it but it still didn't work. because it was late a night i gave up and went to lock the door by turning the lock with the key, expecting all doors to lock....they didn't, opened the door sat inside and pushed the button next to the auto mirror adjustor didn't work.

now i need to lock every door manualy from the inside which is very annoying since im a delivery driver.

anyone who can help me, please lol im stuck out of ideas and dont have the money atm to send it to auto-electrian

but still..i think ferrari went overboard n killed the car just bcos of the headlights n the exhaust pipes.. overall a very nice n sleek design n stuff u`d expect from ferrari..

I think Ferrari is just ahead of time...it takes time for ppl to get used to it! :-D

sex on wheels

should be called the Benzo (baby enzo)
