Wowzers, that is a very cheap upgrade for what out ser getting. Nice

Eyes off the TCT/VSC button in the Lexus in horror

Ahh! Going to bog it or?

Side skirts?

I cannot see any change. Talk about subtle...

Speaking of e-Manage Ultimate; how intelligent is the 2GR? The Viking (plus multiple tunerrs) have said the e-Manage Ultimate won't allow for optimal tuning if i went to 6psi on my 1mz. Given the technical advances of the ecu... how restrictive would the emanate be when paired with the 2gr?

You should see the brace now. Steven got his grinder on so they aren't sitting on the washers anymore. Looks mint with no rubbing. I'll get some proper pictures tomorrow. And on that note, I also need a new muffler as I've got a rattle that I can't get rid of. Partially tempted to go for something a little louder (ie - Lukey UltraFlow muffler) than the Lukey Turbo muffler that I currently have on it.

22th works best but both days are feasible. Camry will probably not be ready so I will be in the Rexus

Alrighty. Update time. Finally resurrected project 'Fully sick subwoofer' which I initially canned after I had all the wood cut due to the sheer size of the box. The box comprises of: - Dimensions: 1100x550x500mm - 25mm MDF - Internally braced (front to back, top to bottom) - Holes drilled for 4x12" drivers - Stuffed with cloth offcuts and old clothing The drivers used are 4x12" Kenwood KFC-W1012's which I picked up for $69ea sometime last year. They are wired in series parallel to run @ 4ohm (each driver theoretically capable of 200w RMS @4ohm). In terms of demonstrating acoustic theory (my dad is intelligent but crazy) the project was successful but was a major fail as I neglected when sizing up the enclosure to factor in getting the finished box into the boot. As a result it is currently sitting the backseat while I have a box made to suit the boot by a cabinetmaker; who won't have 2 left hands and will be able to make a box that is more complex than a rectangular prism. The awkward moment when you realise it's not going to fit in the boot. Had a new strut brace made up since the once I initially made up to be frank sucked. It's very solid and a big thanks to Troy (2XS) who made it up for me. It's nice to have a strut brace where you bang the bar it doesn't do a Rolf Harris. Some major maintenance due to be completed on her as well as the final of the parts have arrived and I might have the rocker covers painted in wrinkle black and I'll redo the supercharger in wrinkle black as well.

Just got a message from The Viking who says he is hoping to attend the meet this evening :)

Correct. To use the 296mm rotors from the 40 series you will need a set of the front brake calipers from a 40 series Camry or Aurion to use them.

I was thinking something was wrong with Google Chrome. I'll be there on Thursday.

Replaced the passenger rubber/plastic roof mould today. $56ea

Spoke to The Viking yesterday and he mentioned your thread. The wheels really suit the car :)

Lets just say we both keep our cars cared for ysing different products and rechniques. I also am garageless and feel the pain of non covered parking.

I see what you did there. When visiting The Viking regarding the large amount of maintenance work required on the Camry, he goes "How's the brake upgrade going?" To which he points at some squareish flat boxes which remind me of Genuine rotors and goes "I have some TRD rears here which are good for at least another set of pads if you want them". You know how it is, he has that look and you know you can't do anything but begin negotiating. But for the first time I had some hand. He's contemplating keeping his Gen4 and I've tempted him with a Gen6 front and Gen5/6 rear brake upgrade for it Standard is: 286x10mm, solid TRD is: 310x18mm, vented Both single piston calipers but the TRD are alloy. From memory the rears are cast.

Picked up some rear TRD Aurion rotors for her. The time for a TRD rear brake upgrades has begun
