The TRD camrys were the super 2gr

There were no Australian Camrys with the 2gr-fze.

The TRD Aurion was the only one and they were made in very limited numbers.

That doesn't look good.

Hopefully it isn't too expensive.

Yep. I'll be there at a reasonable time.

'The' TRD engine.

I think you're mistaken.

TRD Camry engine?

The 2GR-FZE?

Gen5 seats are a direct bolt on for the Gen4.

Cause most Aurions are owned by older people who dont drive like lunatics!! Maybe lunatics is the wrong word... they drive like grandma's/grandpa's...

My TRD Aurion on the other hand gets a good thumping every now and again!

I don't get why anyone would purchase the Aurion if they're gonna drive it like a Camry!

I feel after 100km/h the IS250 catches up with Aurion

You don't have to hoon around like a knob everytime you drive to justify the purchase of a 200kw vehicle.

Those idiot Ferrari, Aston Martin and Porsche drivers are d*ckheads because they only do the speed limit and drive it like a grandpa car. What weak, pathetic human beings. Waste of life.

Probably just stopped caring. Happens alot. The old men move out, the new boys move in.

The circle of life.

John.

You bought my old struts and King Low springs because you had trouble with the springs you had. You bought them from your friend in Sydney and you told me that you scrubbed, the spring fell off the spring seats and the car wasn't as stable. That's what YOU told ME, to my face, when I came to sell you my old gear. That is why you wanted to buy MY springs because YOUR springs were giving you trouble.

I have a set super low front king spring if you interested , the rear are custom made from king spring , it maybe to low for you !

You plainly offer him a set of springs which you know are not fit to be used on a car and all you say is 'maybe to low for you !'

I'm letting OP know he should be careful.

I have a set super low front king spring if you interested , the rear are custom made from king spring , it maybe to low for you !

You mean the ones you were telling me about that you got from your friend in Sydney? The ones you had problems with once you installed them onto your car?

Hrmm... That's quite interesting. I've hated how unwieldy the Gen5 lights are.

Looks good!

Have your strut tops come loose?

As for dealerships, my dad's Yaris has been serviced at Southside Woolloongabba with no problems.

Whoops, didn't realise the Gen4 came with the 5s.

There was a TRD supercharger kit for the Scion TC (2az-fe) but I did a bit of reading and there were a few reports of oil leaks, not forgetting to mention the kits are not easy to find.

There are also a multitude of turbo kits for the 2az-fe but none of them will be a direct bolt on. Nothing ever is.

A wise old Viking like man told me to use a good quality semi- or full synthetic oil.

I have been using Mobil1 5-50w and Penrite SIN 0-50w with no issues whatsoever.

Not sure this week.

Absolutely bogged down today. Have a rather large list of errands and tasks to complete first.

Arggh I bought a H7 bulb as that is what powerbulbs.com said it was

Thanks heaps for the steps I will give it another go :)

The MCV/ACV30 that is Non-AU is likely to be H7. The MCV/ACV36 series are much different.

From memory the Australian Gen5 Camry has something like 75% locally sourced parts.

Powerbulbs will do an exchange for you.

That's a H4 bulb, dual filament. You can remove the grommet if you wish but it is not necessary (but it does make it easier).

1) Grab the connector as close to the bulb as you can from the sides (ie; not the top bottom and grip as far away from the cable as you don't want to pull it out).

2) Squeeze and wriggle the connector and it will come loose.

3) To remove the clip, push on the unhinged side (that will be the side that is facing the outer side of the car) so you are pushing it towards you in a downward fashion.

4) The bulb should just pop out.

5) Insert the new bulb and pretty much do the reverse.

I have the mechanical know how of a Neanderthal and the dexterity of one as well, but even I can change my bulbs; hopefully this helps.

In, after 9pm as I have to close

Ahh ok, that's wierd. I wonder which filament it is using.

Facelift was mid-late 2004 but going from the OP's pic, it's a Pre-facelift model.

I purchased these http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/SCA-Automotive-Globe-Stop-Tail-12V-21-5W-2-Pack.aspx?pid=120228#Cross

They are working fine but I am not sure which one lights up when I press brake, 21w or 5w ? how much is the difference bteween visible light output?

21W will be the actual brake/stop light element, 5W will be the tail light element (aka the dim red light that comes on when your headlights are on)

The 21 and 5 are referring to the wattage of the globe, so the brake light should be roughly 4 times brighter than the tail (21/5 ~= 4)

OP: Is the replacement bulb you bought a dual filament bulb?

Ian's comment got me thinking about mine as the Gen5 uses a 5W T10 for the tail light. I pulled out my stop light and it's a single filament T20-21W bulb.

I shall be in.

Minor servicing my 3 yrs old Aurion car the dealer at south**** quoted me ~$600 is a rip off.

I did the same maintenance at the local workshop ~$250. and they performed the job as outlined in the handbook.

Now, tell me about it.

Tell you about what?

It's an Aurion. Not a Ferrari. Anyone can service the thing.
