Just a quick update:
Has since been raised from the height it was at; she's now sitting perfectly.
Ordered an Ultra Racing Front Strut brace and a Whiteline 20mm Rear sway bar.
Ordered a new K&N Panel filter.
And its getting tinted tomorrow, 35% on fronts (darkest legal), 18% on back 3 windows (just a little illegal haha)
Its gonna be a handling demon.
(By the way I'm aware that the photos have been deleted, I'm in the process of re-uploading them for you all to see)

You can't blame me for this one Adam...You better freakin come to the annual meet.
It sort of is your fault, but I blame Andrew for this one!
I'm seriously considering it, though I think I already have an offer for that weekend. The car has truely transformed since you saw it last...from memory it was completely stock?
It might even put your camry to shame now :P
-
Ok... couldn't wait (sorry SILVA...)
Anyway, I contacted this bloke in Malay on eBay who has this for sale:
http://cgi.ebay.com....em=200588733611
$115.20 OFFER and it is automatically accepted as BIN. Free shipping to Australia too!
Will let you know how I go.
...Just bought one
RSB is about on its way too, damn this mod bug!
-
gosh i know what u guys mean (i think we all do) when we corner on a car with a heavy shell, all it does is understeer and the feeling of bodyroll is very very noticable.
just corning at 30km/h at a steady rate is enough to jiggle your bums
Coilovers will sort this problem out haha, if you can put up with the bumpy ride, sharp turns are a piece of cake now. Though I will need the RSB for longer, sweeping turns.
PS: I thought the stock RSB were 16mm

Very Interested. Where in Sydney are you?
Gidday mate, Bardwell Park Near Bexley
Mind if I come by next week sometime? (I work 7 days a week but I have next wed, thurs and friday off)
Just too see if they will be too big for my car?

I believe this is the same day as the end of month meet...not much point in doing two meets in the one day

Nice! Looking awesome Adam and totally understand raising it a little bit, mine will have to be the same once I do it, darn sh!tty country roads It looks great with the GTP kit as well, are you going to get the spoiler as well?
Thanks Tash, I don't think I will be getting the spoiler, I think its rediculously overpriced and a bit too 'out there'. Speaking of sh!tty roads haha the experience of going on bumpy roads just got a million times worse. Plus I need to raise the front a little cause if I take a left hand turn with a purpose...the wheel scrubs on the fender guard to the point where I'm almost worn through
Thoughts...New rims with cheapo tyres or keep the steelies and put good tyres??
-
Had the coilovers installed during the week....I think I made it a little too low. So far I am enjoying the massive improvement in the handling sector, though the ride softness has obviously diminished quiet a lot.
First picture, all 4 have been installed without being adjusted. So it was very low at this point...it got stuck on the hoist and they were hesitant to drive it off as it was going to scrape my front lip.
Fronts have been adjusted, just working on the backs. Not sure if you can see the camber on the fronts (I later removed)
Finally got it home, had a look and noticed it was waaay too low. Couldn't get it in the driveway so its on the street!

They arrived. Loving the look of them, now all i have to do is find time to install them!
Here's two quick pics with me playin around with my new camera.
I also took two side on pictures for before and after results. New side indicators aswell.
-
Been ages since I've been on the forums, also been ages since I bought anything nice for my car...
So I went and bought coilovers...say goodbye to rolling through corners and hello to dumped *****!
:D :D Will take pictures when they arrive!
-
Damn, would've loved to of come and shown off the GTP...but I'm working!
-
So I'm back from overseas and I had my car serviced yesterday to make sure all was good! Turns out the bushings in my engine mounts have had it. So I can replace them with standard bushes, but I want to ask if anyone knows weather I can get Nothalene or similar branded ones so that it will make it a bit stiffer.
If not I'm more than happy to put standard ones in.
Thanks all!

Might as well post in this thread
Gen 4 owners keep an eye out. I won't say anything else until I get the work done.
Where are you going with this?
-
Just thought I would add to your little post there.
My car has 250000kms on it and its still on original shocks...thy are completely wasted but I am too tight to spend the money to upgrade. I might be buying a Golf R next year...
-
No cat = 1 or 2 hp MAYBE but you'll kill the environment.
Adam. Because you can smoke the other bigger more powerful land barges :P!!!
Haha when I said camry I should've been more specific and said other than yours, Andrews and a few others...maaaybe Trents but his is boarder line cool. (haha wait for the sh!t storm)
-
Dont waste your time with the cat. The gains will be next to nothing if anything at all. If your wanting gains for 'track use only'just unbolt your exhaust from where the headers meet the cat and remove the back half...
Which brings me to the point of taking a camry to a track...?
-
They most probably wont have anything for a camry, it will have to be custom as the market for camrys unforunatley isnt that big in Aus. I remember when I was considering getting my exhaust done the guy was a complete idiot and didnt want to give me a price, he just refused to do the job for me. Which kinda turned me off doing it.
I you have the money then I would suggest you speak to Andrew as he has an awsome setup on his Gen 5
-
Oh no... He didn't hit anything half decent did he? Because that WOULD have been a tragedy
He was at a 'Peter Brock memorial cruise' so it would've either been a Holden or Ford that he ran into...
-
I wasnt going to say anything, but then I saw the picture...and the plates and the accident and well I couldn't help myself. They suit this thread perfectly:
BYL-05R
Thats one less Commonwhore we have to deal with.
-
EOI a Genuine, Brand New GTP Grille. I have found a dealer who has one in stock.
PM me for details if you are interested.
Also on the menu is a Black Leather shift boot (manual) and GTP spoiler risers - though the risers are very overpriced.
-
Can I recommend Pirelli P7.
I currently have them on my camry. They have sustained about 35000km of abuse (and I mean abuse) and still have around 40% tread.
-
Hey all,
Kinda a weird question, but is it possible to upgrade the interior from a Gen 4 to Gen 6? (just seats) I know Anthony has upgraded to Gen 5.
Does anyone know if it is a direct bolt on, can it be customised cheaply etc??
thanks

I'd be getting the whiteline rear sway bar, it is a touch thicker. Every bit counts.
