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

Yea, RON just stands for Research Octane Number. Its just more commonly referred to as octane. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they are phasing out 91ULP altogether in NSW. So your options will be E10; which is RON95, Premium Unleaded; which is RON95 aswell and Ultra Premium; which is RON98. Hope that helps.

@ Anthony and Vijith: Yes the stock headlight lens messes with the cut off - which is a tad annoying. BUT in saying that it is 100 times better than stock. I am planning in the near future to get the inside of the lens sanded down so its nice a smooth - but i just dont have the time or money at the moment. Atleast it is not blinding other drivers which was the main reason for me getting these

with petrol prices so low, seriously why bother with e10? just put RON95 its better for the car - performance and effiency edit: AND its going to cost you like an extra $4 at the pump which I guarentee will be cheaper in the long run that filling up with e10

Ok so I have finally gotten around to taking a few pictures of my Projector retro-fit. Overall I'm really happy with them and I would recomend them to anyone who doesn't already have them. Sorry for the poorish quality of the shots, there were taken from my iPhone. In real-life the Angel eyes are much more distinctive, you can actually see the full circle unlike its showing in the picture (as they are pretty damn bright) Nice and Clean isn't it!! With the lights ON...(they look greenish in the pic, but they are white/blue (6000K) And with my 2500K imported High-beams on aswell: OUTTA MY WAY!!! I have also ordered a few little gizmos for the car, nothing major though.

I shall do my best to show up. But can I make a little suggestion that for the nest cruise, we maaaybe head north? For those of you who know Bobbin Head and then onto the Old Pacific Highway - or up to wisemans or something?

Its just a matter of actually looking Took me literally 30 seconds to find these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INJEN-SHORT-RAM-INTAKE-03-04-05-CAMRY-04-05-SOLARA-V6-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2eae737584QQitemZ200495297924QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WEAPON-R-DRAGON-AIR-INTAKE-02-05-TOYOTA-CAMRY-SOLARA-V6-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem439e576cc4QQitemZ290419338436QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Take your pic...

Could cost you a little more with a sedan though, as the proper way to do it is to remove either the front or rear window to get the hood lining out... It is a good DIY project to do, if you have the time, patience or if you can stand to drive without a roof for a few weeks if you have neither of those two.

Where to start...just to let you know if you really want to go down the path to fix it properly, its not just a case of buying a new hood lining from a wrecker - because the car your getting it off is the same age as yours, hence it will happen again in a couple of months. I did do a quick write up of this before when I did mine and if you would like I can do it again (with pictures if I still have them). If your wanting a quick solution; get a staple gun Let me know which path you want to go down.

Sounds like it could be fuel related, ahh try a using a concentrated blend of the fuel system cleaner with injector cleaner on a full tank of petrol. If that doesnt work it could be fuel pump, but I'm just throwing around ideas here. The injector stuff is only around $15 so its worth a try. What kind of petrol do you use? (please dont say E10)

^^+1 what he said. Should we be keeping an eye out for this on ebay?

oh, sorry. Chances are they won't be interchangeable. I think the strut bar will fit the V6 model, as I remember seeing one with it on. But email them to double check...

Cheers man, do you know any good international courier companies? Theres a few things on SG.com that I want to get but shipping is expensive. Can Adam (ASG...) do it cheap?

yeah i'd love a cold air intake. my car is too... camry-like haha. the only thing holding me back from mods is money. i love those stock rims on your camry, looks stealthy. i've got very dated vienta alloys which i'm not a fan of at all. Haha you like my steelies? You can have them once I get my new rims haha...I hate them It does look good at night though, kinda looks like I'm floating yeah i dunno i just like them haha. i really don't know why. the postage would be a killer from sydney i think! i've got my eye on a suspiciously cheap set of 18" rims on ebay at the moment. still tossing up whether to make a bid or not You want to post up the link? Or PM it to me if you dont wabt others to see?

Would look good with the Alphas, the only thing is you'd probably want to get them fixed up before you put them on. A little bit of gutter rash. At least they'll come with some Federal 595-SS with tread. I'll keep you updated. If the price is right, then I don't really mind spending that little bit extra to fix the gutter rash. But yea keep my informed..

What kind of Head unit are you running?

You should get a CAI, once you hear the sound from the intake, trust me you wont want to go back haha. My car isn't lowered...yet I'm having to wait until I get back from overseas which will be mid January before I start with the more serious modifications. I've pretty much outlined what I would like to do in the first post on my ride thread. Borla/TRD exhaust should be coming very soon though - from a friend who is selling his camry

awesome! thanks so much for that! when i get paid on monday i'm so buying one . the handling is the one thing i don't like about my car and it's finally gonna be improved with this and the RSB so i'm excited as. when do you plan on getting your RSB? Hey Rad, Just looking at your Avatar there. That is a REALLY nice choice for an exhaust tip...thats exactly what I was planning to get. Mind giving us some details on what you have done to your ride? Oh an definetly keep us posted on the strut bar aswell...

I sold my brace to lateralaus, who has since sold his Gen5. My strut brace that I had made up is based alot on the TRD one except it's a one piece. The UR brace made the steering feel more direct and it somewhat reduced understeer. However, I had mine put one before I got the RSB so it actually amplified the body roll because the front was now alot tighter than the rear. If you are going to supercharge it, don't buy the UR brace as it won't fit. Look for the TRD brace. It's not as stiff as the UR brace (but stiff enough) and it will give you the clearance you need for the charger. I think I will get the UR racing early next year. With the intention to pawn it off to one of my fellow Gen 4 lovers later on. Not so sure about supercharging my car as it is a bit out dated... Who knows though... wouldn't mind heading down the track of a Gen 6.5 TRD charged 3mz/1mz-fe hybrid engine? Sleep with one eye open boys, I'm trouble

Yes I am running it off a relay harness, I have a feeling that it is just the globe...I shall put up with it for now as I'm spending too much money at the moment haha. I pm'd you about the kit!!

Hmm that engine bay looks a little...familiar, but its lacking one very important piece. Did you sell/give your UR brace to Anthony? How much of a difference does it make? Does it turn in better, reduce understeer, less body roll? I was hoping that by the next anual meet to have a whiteline RSB, new springs/shock combo and the UR strut and front undercarriage brace but not sure if those last 2 are worth the extra $300 as a pair. Any advice/opinions/experiences??

My Advice Unless your headunit has 3- RCA pre-outs then don't bother running the speakers off the amp. I did this with my first set up and because my headunit only has 2 pre-outs (which means its only sending out the rear signal for the sub) so my whole system sounded sh!t. If you headunit does has the 3 pre-outs then just run the sub and the front speakers off the amp...no need to run the back ones as they will be overpowered by the sub anyways, unless you have the money to buy another mono-block amp. Hope that helps you a little. Oh and I'm going to go against Hotwax and say that you CAN run 5 speakers off a 4 channel amp. Channel 1 + 2 for the fronts Channel 3 + 4 for the rears and bridge 1 + 4 for the SUB (depending on the quality of your amp)
