I am most displeased with you... All in good time...hopefully Ok, sorry my friend who took the photos is having a few technical difficulties at the moment, so all the photos I planned would be up obviously aren't. I did manage to grab one more off him; Update: - HID's are installed - White LED instrument cluster Ordered more white LED's for the centre console

Hey dude, its called a Strut Brace - Connects the strut towers together to help stop chassis flex during agrassive cornering, suposedly transfering the force into the suspension itself. There are ones on Ebay that you can get, but they won't fit the V6 - someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think there is a TRD one that will fit the V6, but I think you'll have to get it second hand and its pricey. Hope that helps

Once I start, I can't stop!

Mod Update: - Tinted rear lights and side blinkers - Carbon fibre Eye-lids - LED instrument cluster Sneaky Peaky of photoshoot. The rest of the pics will be up within the next couple of days. Overall really happy with how they worked out.

I had a similar problem, when my friend and I decided to do a DIY Throttle Body port. I have a feeling in my situation though that some metal shavings got in the sensor. The gains were good mind you. I thought I could put up with it however, on really really cold mornings the car wouldn't start without a little help from my right foot. So I just bought a new throttle body from the wreckers, cost me $100 so its not that expensive.

So I got paid last night from work. YAY! Looking on ebay for things that I used to dream about having for the car, and oops I accidently bought a few things. - HID kit; 6000k - and maybe some, ahh...carbon fibre

Corolla Sportivo has a bodykit... Camry Sportivo has a bodykit... Aurion Sportivo has a bodykit... (just to name a few) Generalising much? The cheaper alternatives are made from fibreglass but if your going to modify a car then do it properly, pay that bit extra for the quality. Shop around and don't go over the top. Paseo's are great little cars, they dont really need a bodykit in my opinion. Put a nice set of wheels (not chromies), lower it a bit, put a nice exhaust on it (not cannon) and you'll be turning heads for the right reasons rather than for laughs. But it is your car and most people can make something look really good if they put the time and effort in, if you've got a plan then go for it. I did, and I wouldn't go back!

By ultra vision do you mean those halogens that are coated blue and claiming to be white? if you are comparing the 35w HIDs to that there is no comparison at all because the 35w HIDs are so many times brighter than any halogens. Yea thats the ones that i have now, they are pretty good but i still find myself using my highbeams waaay too much haha. I think i might get one of those kits from ebay. See how it goes, if im happy with it then down the track ill buy a better branded one. Thanks for your help :)

So stay away from 55w, got it haha. Are the 35w going to be much brigther than the so claimed 'ultra vision' that i have in my car now?

Just a quick one guys. With regards to h4 HID kits is there a big difference between 35 and 55w systems? Will there be a brighter light with either one?

Seriously per tank its like an extra $5-8 to put 95 or premium depending on prices. Why bother with the ethanol?

Jealous! Most of my major mods will have to wait till early next year cause I am saving up for a trip to south america. Hopefully it will be in tip-top shape like yours for the next annual meet in Brissy.

That's a winner mate, looks great Check out the members ride thread that i just made to see some proper pics and any furture updates of my car. Glad you like it http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29097

Not that bigger fan of clear lights (plus i dont know of any for a gen4) ill most likely be tinting them a little; not too much to impeede the strength of the lights or to attrach attention just enough to get rid of the bright red during the day. As for slamming it on its a@$3, im going for more of a performance look rather than show. Anybody that knows me well enough will know my driving style, so slamming it wouldnt be the best option; plus i regularly have a full car so i cant be bothered to deal with the sag when i go over bumps etc. Lastly like Trent said thats a stock rear bar. The GTP kit adds the flares to either side. There arent that many rear bars for a camry and the ones out there look sh!thouse to be honest.

They're nice but I don't think they would look good on a camry. I was originally just going to get the standard GTP rims, but i wanted something a little different.

Ahk thanks man. I am more after a genuine TRD badge. Ill keep looking.

All in good time my friend haha. I have a narrowed done my wheels to two that i really like; http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=1357 http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=1176

Thanks. About the spoiler raisers...if you find anyone selling just them by themselves I'd be more than happy to buy them, might take a while considering it took me 2 years to find the kit. Yikes

Hey all, Been on the forum for a while driving just your ordinary white Gen 4. Car is a 1998 Model CSi Automatic 245000kms on it, high I know...but I take good care of it - serviced every 5000kms without fail! First mod that I did was the intake; I removed both the intake resonators so it still runs the factory air-box. It screams which is good for scaring people, but it also provides a deeper note to a SRI which i experimented with originally. Next came the sound system upgrade, all done in my garage. Currently running: - Ebay Double Din headunit. Touch screen (not all impressed with its opperations) - JBL splits in the front; with tweeters intalled on the door trimming - Sony 6x9's in the back - Fusion Mono block 900watt amp in boot - Explode 1000watt sub (with neons that flash with the bass - I know its gay but i was bored) - Sony 4channel wiring throughout - done VERY neatly. For this next mod, I really do have to give a BIG thanks to Trent for helping me find it. He managed to find me a Brand spanking new Gen 4 GTP kit. It arrived about 3 weeks ago in its 'Genuine Toyota Parts' box. I got it painted yesterday, then spent all night installing it. To be honest I can't stop looking at it, especially when driving next to office buildings with glass windows. A few little things that I have also Upgraded include: - LED number plate and parking lights - Mercedes Two-tone Horn - BMW 335i exhaust tip - White LED's throughout all guages, instruments - Tinted rear lights The Proper Mods: - Genuine Toyota GTP Lip Kit (purchased brand new) - Ksport Kontrol coilovers - Projector retrofit, with 6000k HID's - Whiteline 20mm rear swaybar - Ultra racing front strut bar - NonStopTuning lightened crank pulley - 17x7 Advanti Talon in Gloss black, with brushed aluminium higlights - 215/45/R17 Pirelli P7's - Corolla clear side indicators - DIY intake, with K&N filter - Tinted windows (front 35%, back 18%) - Upgraded sound system, DVD/GPS/TV, splits, 6x9's and Sub To Do List: - Exhaust of some description - Slotted rotors with EBC redsutff pads - Whiteline rear camber bolts - 15mm wheel spacers for back Thats all I can think of at the moment. All comments are welcome, weather they be positive or negative. Thanks for reading

Where did you get the Little TRD badge thats above the indicator, I want them for the same spot, except below as my car is not VVTi haha

There should be a sticker on the side of the black housing that says when it was last changed. The V6 has to be changed every 150x kms so if it hasnt been changed before its well overdue.

Whats your one look like? I've only ever seen the one that I have on other camry's. Is your direct from factory??? By the way, help me convince Leon to sell me his TRD exhaust his mum seriously doesn't need the extra power/appreciate the rarety nor the beautiful tone it produces!

Finishing touch...its official people!!

Interesting....

Been a little.....busy this weekend Sydney officially has another White Gen4 GTP
