It is different from the factory Sportivo lip.

It also looks REALLY good. If I didn't have my kit I would buy this one.

$330 couriered to your door.

For all you know it's twin turboed.

4 struts only, you transfer over everything else (bump stops, springs, hats etc).

I can't comment on the ride VS a 4cyl as I've never been in one.

10K using full synthetic is fine.

Unnecessary though.

I am no mechanic but I simply have them left because my dad's car was written off the other week and we didn't get time to change the struts over.

You are looking at $430-$460 for a set of KYB's new for the Gen4, I can let them go cheaper than that; if you're interested, please PM me.

So how exactly does the car feel when you hit bumps and things? My dad's one was awfully bobby after being run on the same shocks for 175km

5000km is excessive for the 2az. You can get away with 10000km no problem, just use a quality Semi-synthetic oil.

I change mine every 7500 and I don't exactly baby it.

What do you mean by noise?

Simply replacing the struts with some new ones (i would recommend KYB Excel-G ones, which i have a set for a gen4 brand new if you are interested) should give you some ride quality back. I found the suspension on my dads ex-conquest too soft for my liking. Soft or hard; really depends on what you like.

A set of SuperPro steering rack bushes will give you a much better steering response and sharpness.

KYB's are good... Koni's if you want something more exxy/better

KYB make the best ready to go off the shelf struts.

Koni don't make off the shelf shocks for the gen4 but you can get some made up.

Wait till are you are off your P license.

The car you will get then will likely to have more technology, better fuel economy, more power and in general be a better car than anything you will be allowed to buy now

Ruined with all that stretch and poke.

Crap. Not sure if I can make it or not.

If I can't I'll definitely swing by so you guys can inflict Blairs Terror on Daryl and Steve.

I will also have the seats Trent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

yes lets all get a camry instead. :P

and dont forget to SC it

Oh piss off.

Where have I said anything about Camry's being awesome and the best? I haven't even done it on FB.

The numbers listed in the guide has barely changed (in terms of how much), Solaraguy is still the place to look, ASG14 is probably still the person to chat to for help, GLP Motorsports is a mob I still wouldn't deal with, the installation manuals posted has not changed or been updated since then; so it will still come down to your technical prowess. The 1mz-fe ECU hasn't been updated since the original post so you won't need a tune.

I didn't know the H7 bulb sells for $25-29 per bulb and that's the cheaper version.

Since when do they get this pricey?

Given the Gen4 and Gen5 do not use a H7 bulb, what does this have to do with buying a Camry?

There is a some difference between the Altise/Ateva VS Sportivo in stock form; with respect to parts.

From what I know, the differences are:

- Stiffer spring rates on the Sportivo (front and rear, V6 and 4-cyl)

- Stiffer shocks on the Sportivo (front and rear, V6 and 4-cyl)

- Front strut brace on Sportivo. From memory, the Altise and Ateva did not get the brace from factory standard.

There may be others but in terms of driving it makes for a big difference between the classes. I've driven a friend's 4cyl altise and it's a significantly softer drive compared to the Sportivo.

If people are awesome for owning an Aurion, there are plenty of awesome people about.

The Aurion is a great car but lets not get too ahead of ourselves.

Possibly yes. With a few minor changes.

Not gonna lie.

That's pretty cool!

Fair enough so just replace the fuel filter anything you can reccomend in branding?

Fuel filters do they all do the same thing there abouts or do some have little differences ie more filters for cleaner fuel or less for more flow or something?

Don't laugh please :)

The fuel filter (also referred to as the 'sock') strains junk before it gets into the fuel pump. if out have done enough mileage, it will be clogged/restricted which will affect economy and the smoothness and speed of acceleration.

Just get a genuine filter and the locking ring which holds it to the bottom of the pump. It is not expensive.

If that is the case then, you are simply filling he tank closer to it's capacity (ie when you aggressively fill the tank and it triggers the stop signal, it isn't truly full as you don't press the lever again simply cause you assume it is full). That has nothing to do with economy as you simply have more fuel to burn which will give you more mileage.

Changig the fuel filter is probably the only thing you can do yourself (and worthwhile in terms of time).

Edit: Since when did a bowser pump, pump air?

Edit: A cold morning has the potential to give you more fuel as it has the potential to be more dense; but bundled with the tanks being in ground and quite sizeable the gains will be close to 3/10 of bugger all.

hello guys , hows it going ?

i am looking to buy the same after market lights , i was wondering if the the lighting (like when i turn on the headlight)s , will it be fine or will it get into on coming drivers vision and get them angry ?
