Are we comparing the Aurion resale to cars in other car classes (silly)? or to other family sized 6s? Looking at the market, the Aurion seems holds up pretty good compared to the likes of Honda, Holden and Ford cars for same price range. Mazda on the other hand seems to hold value very well, but to be honest I don't see why.

Adamsy, If I have had a warranty replacment using the part 45220-06132 (Shaft Assy strg int) does that mean I don't need the 45250-06510 part replaced? I am experiencing the old knock that they seem to have temporarily fixed with the 45220-06132 (Shaft Assy strg int).

I am very surprised someone actually said that any Toyota have a poor resale expectation. That is the first time I have ever heard that from anyone. You should shop around and try every car.

That is one ugly mofo. But you have to hand it to Ford for having an "inspiring" range.

Given that my Aurion has only done 1/3 of your Aurion's Ks it might not be a good comparison, but I'm noticing the opposite effect. Did you recently get new pads or rotors?

Now that is a nice car. Well done.

I'll go on a cruise day once it is done. If you can keep up, you can see it! Just to scare you ... calculated 0-200km/h time is 10.2 seconds. I'm working on some weight reductions to improve that, plus trying to source the right manual transmission to get it under 10. You should be documenting all this by video so you can sell your story.

HAHAHA. Hellllsss yeahhh!! That deserves a thread for its self.

That is good advice! I'm going to do that. I had a nightmare last night where I didnt pay my rego and they took my car from me. LOL

No need for worry, I had the same reaction with my car at first. It is simply the engine adjusting the timing based on the fuel and heat. This is completely normal. My suggestion is not to use E10 in your car as my experience with E10 is that the 2GR-FE is much less efficient meaning you get less Ks per tank and it makes the car sluggish.

Typical! So hard being a middle aged white guy in NSW. (That was a joke because I'm a wog) But seriously, I'm and sick of paying more to live in a hole.

Anyone else have rego due soon and have been feeling postal about it? I am over 25 and for the first time since I started driving 8 years ago my rego/ctp is over $1000. Who else is sick of NSW RTA? Seriously tho, what do they spend this money on? Because every time I jump in my car I am for ever dodging pot holes all over. Does anyone know of a Rego/Pot Hole complaint site/line? Or at the very least a punching bag that I can smash a chair over?

I'm not sure why you would want to upgrade a car that you don't have any more especially when you don't live near it any more.

Welcome!

I might make an appearance... If things work out my way today.

That is the catch. Nothing in computing will ever feel "polished" if it is open and vice versa. The Iphone OS and Hardware is great and I would recommend it to anyone (after recommending an Android phone), but it isn't for me. If all development and new product releases stopped for the next 10 years then in my opinion the majority of people would be using Android phones.

I wouldn't say it's that radical, more like Apple apps being official genuine Toyota and TRD aftermarket parts, and JB'ing allows you to use non-genuine accessories. Putting a Honda engine into a Toyota would be like taking an iPhone and trying to transplant the better screen from a Samsung Galaxy S for instance. Ok sure. But an even more accurate analogy would be loading Android on the Iphone. LOL.

That's the first comment I've read about jailbreaking that let's me see the forest through the trees... If you know what I mean. Totally makes sense. Btw my iPhone is not JB. Most people without an iPhone (and even many with) don't understand the point of Jailbreaking 80% of the apps in Cydia/Rock/etc (Jailbroken App stores) would NEVER get in to the normal app store, they use API's not available in the offical Apple SDK, or break the submission rules. I like having access to these apps, as many of them are VERY useful and let me take full advantage of the iPhone (hardware/unix core). However, this by no means negates the need for the App store... I have purchased (and will continue to do so) many, many apps from the official store. Sure, you can pirate app's with a jailbroken phone, and its not that difficult.. but why bother? with 50% of the apps you would ever want being either free or under $2 its not worth it. IMO 80% of people who jailbreak are not hurting apple in any way as we still need/want/use the official channels for obtaining apps/etc I agree about the 80/20 rule in the sense that they are not hurting Apple by way of not purchasing apps and music through them, but they are hurting Apple by recognising that the product isn't good enough not to be JB. What I don't understand is how some JBers can still be loyal to the Brand when it is apparent that it doesn't serve their needs and wants. That's like buying a Honda then putting a Toyota engine in it.

With hundreds to thousands of people writing code for an operating system it is impossible for any one person or company to truly know where ALL the holes are. Add on to the fact that the fundamental operating system was coded by a completely different company/organisation (BSD Unix) as well as the different components of what makes up the applications on the OS then it makes it even more impossible that a single entity knows every hole. We are talking millions of lines of code from thousands of people. A JPG and acrobat vulnerability are the most common JB methods and they are not even core OS functionality but a layer above the OS. I highly doubt Apple purposely left any holes because it only means less app sales. Look at the way companies with Apps or Attachments work. Apple make money on the hardware and phone sale then on the music and app sales. It is in their interest to make sure people buy apps and music by locking the phone and have feature updates. Toyota make money on the car sale and the services. It is in their interest to not have the same engine as another manufacturer so it is preceved that support is second rate else where (warranty periods). Xbox lost money on the 360 (but now makes) and make lots of money on the attachments (games). It is in their interest to sell more games and have game functionality where games are best "online" where updates are needed. All I am saying is Apple have 3 ways of keeping you spending money after the fact.... Locked into buying music from them, locked into buy apps from them and buying a new phone. Anything outside of that and they don't want it to happen.

Same thing with skiiers, it's to filter the glare, but has nothing to do with fog penetration/dispersion/scattering. To add mine, cyclist as well as sharp shooters uses yellow lenses for "sunglasses" Same as urine. So drunks can see their pee against the white porcelain.

Seriously tho..... What really IS the price of fish?

Isnt it like Golf? The lower the number the better? Thanks for the info... I nearly bought a 1.4 Lancer.

Can you guys check something for me? Stand at the wheel facing away for the car (so if you leant on the car your butt would be above the wheel) Grab the wheel arch and lift it up and down. Can you hear the squeeky rubbery noise while your reverse dry humping the car? Because I can.

No solution as of yet as I still haven't figured out what it is. I hope when we find out it isnt serious..... because it has been like this for months. :P
