My TRD Aurion does 209.6 ATRW and 12.5 miliseconds down the 1/4 kilometre.

You are a complete toss. I can accept people driving like a ******* when there is no traffic (otherwise I'd be a complete hypocrite) but you don't even try to hide it.

Thanks gents. Dwee, man you have a good memory. The baby is still baking with 1 month left, hence the Corolla. I couldn't have my baby driving around in my wife's old Ford Laser which is loves dearly but is falling apart. I hadn't noticed anything weird about the drive by wire, if anything it was more sensitive than my Aurion. I'm glad there is nothing to recall. Is there a way to make the mirrors auto fold when the car is off? I find it odd that they would add power folding mirrors but not auto headlights.

I hope this isn't true, it looks like the ***** child of a Subaru and a Mazda. Pretty sad that the best looking car in the Subaru range was designed by Toyota.

Hey people, It has been a while between posts. Some of you might know me form the Aurion forums. I'm proud to say I'm now a Corolla owner as well as the Aurion. Just purchased a '09 MY10 Corolla Ascent from a Dealer in Blacktown. It is/has: 56,000ks on the clock White No damage bar very minor door edge chips Full service logs Hubcaps (unfortunately) Still under factory warranty new tyres I picked it up for $13,800. No trade in, no finance. Is that a good price? Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I can check to be replaced under warranty? I have approx. 2 months of factory warranty left and I want to squeeze it for what it is worth. Even if there are no immediate problems I prefer getting unofficial recall items replaced before the warranty is out.

Not many people like the new look Aurion Sportivo, I award you on your nonconformity. I personally hope the Sportivo sales die a quick death.

You won't have any rubbing at all.

The Aurion isn't a racecar and this is one of the dumbest "mods" I've seen in a while. If you are going to "hoon", this is by far the pussiest way to do it.

Are you serious? The TRD should be taken from you and replace with an old Ford Festiva for that comment.

Had you changed the VVTI Oil pipe? How many Ks had it done? Who serviced it last? If your engine is actually ****** claiming under insurance might be an option.

Should have left it at that. The rest of your post was just fluff.

Interesting topic. Adamsy, any more information for us DIYers? Like Torque?

The new Aurion Sportivo body kit is embarrassingly ugly. It is very surprising that they have a luxury look for the Aurion and a tacky rice look for the Aurion Sportivo.

I can't see the diff in size. I still have my old one at home if you want me to take a pic as well. When I bought mine online from the US (TRDParts) they came in the red Toyota Packaging.

That one comes to over $107 delivered. Searching on eBay there is another listing in Australia which come to $84 delivered. Did you search for FK20HR11 or something else? Yea I did, can you please link me to the website. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-Denso-Iridium-Long-Spark-Plug-FK20HR11-Toyota-Aurion-RAV4-Tarago-2GRFE-/270938575329?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f153291e1#ht_1142wt_1396

I just went into that website and they had over 5 other non OEM branded spark plugs listed for the 2grfe. Are you affiliated with the site or just unconsciously incompetent at giving advice?

Looks worse in real life if the prototype I saw was anything to go by. The fog lights look ridiculously bolt on and out of place.

As Vic pointed out, I have been slack updating this thread on what happened with my insurance.... so here goes. The damage to the car has been fixed by Silverwater Smash and they did a supremo job. I cant fault it and they colour matched the plastic/metal better than factory. The wheels could not be fixed without applying heat (GIO insurance policy not to repair wheels using heat) so I was paid out for the damage to that single wheel + tyre a total of $940. Yes, $940 for one wheel and one tyre. The wheel and tyre damage are completely superficial so I am still using them on the car. I plan to fix the damaged wheel and spray all of them using 2pack but I am undecided on the colour as yet and I'm going to miss the chrome lip. My wife is still pregers and she is now at 4 months. Not long now and I can actually use my family car as a family car. On that note, I need to replace my wifes car and I'm thinking of a Camry Hybrid as an option.

Anyone else found that they are getting more mileage after replacing the spark plugs? It has only been 2 or so weeks but this last tank has gone 80k over the point that it usually complains about being on empty.... And I havn't gone on any long drives. I'm a little freaked out at this because if it is true then that means over the last 3 years I have wasted a hell of a lot of fuel.

the exact same engine is 32KW more in Japan. No, they use the 2GR-FSE which has direct injection. Maybe the next engine will be a 2GR-FSZE............................

I'm not calling the service manager a liar but why would it take 2.5 hours if this if they don't need to take it apart?

I just did mine at 93,000k and they looked fine. Having looked at them I would have been comfortable with going until 120,000k but you don't know until the inspect them all. It took me and my brother just less than 2 hours to replace them and that includes him dropping a bolt and searching for it for 20 minutes.

Good on the cops. I completely endorse cops defecting people who either knowingly broken the law or are stupid enough not to realise that certain mods aren't safe. It is great to see cops doing more than just cruising for speeding fines.

There is plenty of potential in the 2GR-FE its self but the biggest limitation/barrier you will face is the ECU. No matter the changes you make the ECU will always adjust back to normal "fuel efficient" settings. If you want a tuner then the Aurion isn't for you. The best bang for buck investment you can make with an Aurion is in handling.... Lowering, sway bars, rubber, etc....
