SCOOTA44

yep the cards are still there, business up for sale though.

How many did you manage to get down there Scott in the end? I thought about coming down but i won't be in the state lol. We'd do one up at Symmons but its a pretty boring point and shoot track so doubt we' get much interest.

I would have a go up there, stretch the legs a bit! but she's now up for sale :(

Mine has 302k on it now, and apart from a rattle on startup, she's going as hard as day one!

Been running on E10 for some time now , and im getting constant 10.5l/100 avg. Very happy with that the best power performance with that fuel. Also the Aurion is 300K old.

This coming monday the red rocket will be doing laps of Baskerville Raceway ( Hobart) been waiting a long time for something like this! BTW the red rocket clocks up 300K this week.

wow not pretty, makes mine look like a scratch ! all the best with the repairs.

Extractors/Headers

That was a while ago, no wonder i couldn't find it ! im getting old!

Hullo folks, its been a while. Has anyone tried the stainless steel headers for the 2GRFE ? If so how did the perform?

Bud shoot me through your VIN or rego and i'll get it priced up for you. It's not that expensive. iI replaced my whole front end when i shattered it on my driveway lol. :)

Thanks Matt, got the info, cheaper than thought, mmmm maybe the upgrade front end. lol

I have had the unlucky runin with a large marspial, and need a complete front end for my SX6 , I thought I got away with just the bottom section, but took chunks out of the top too. Already have to replace the radiator and condensor. Any ideas from the mainland as I think I would be extremely lucky to find one in Tassie.

Hullo my name mentioned, yes mine is a clear one put "AURION" signwriting on the inside, then sprayed the inside with ordinary black paint.

Just an update, I spoke with one of the owners, and the head gaskets blew as well, and it was cheaper to get another engine rather than repair it.

I am going to get my new exhaust guru to design and build a single system, cant see the point of trying to build a full twin system.

just my 2c.

I had one waterpump failure recently, vehicle was company car and driver kept driving it. the vehicle shut itself down and driver let the car cool down. we replaced the pump and vehicle is perfect still.

thats good then, just keep an eye on fluid levels and temp guage.

well getting a bit labour party round here!

We're talking about 2 cars our of how many? Not to mention the 2GR-FE is used in other cars as well. I wouldn't really start to be getting concerned about all this.

Still a concern, though I am wondering, like the previous V6 the waterpump is replaced regardless if its ok or not at 300k. Maybe this should be done with the Aurion too. I do have to drop the engine out soon to fix an oil leak and replace the manifold, so will put one in then.

Now you mention that im concerned!

Any note as to if the Aurions where "Race Car" or just used by nana/grandad ?

What year / Model etc ?

both 07 atx and nana'ed , mine gets the racecar treatment.

There has been 2 engine failures in recent times, both caused by waterpump failures, both vehicles had below 300K on the clock. Has anyone heard of this happening? Im rather concerned.

Need to replace my fuel filter. 2007 Presara. It's a taxi guys (probably the only one in Australia!) and I need a new fuel filter.

Found this but wondering if it is the right one.

http://www.discountf...Ntt=Fuel+Filter

If this isn't right, does anyone have any idea where I could get one? Ebay, whatever. I'm sick of being ripped off and I've had great success on here before by going to the experts. Keeping a taxi on the road is an expensive business, so I'm trying hard to cut down on my outlay when it comes to parts.

If anyone knows where I can get air filters from too I'd appreciate it.

Your not the only taxi here, anyway that is the correct filter, and if you can get it at that price go for it! you will pay around $80 from a dealer.

When was the last time you changed the intank fuel filter, I also experienced this problem, replaced the filter, problem solved. It was very black!

I am going to do this mod next year to mine, I was just wondering, are the vids that are on here so we can hear the sound, are the cars in them supercharged models or naturally aspirated. Just need a comparison cause mine is not supercharged, I imagine the note would be different from a supercharged car. I like the idea of leaving the resonator and deleting the mufflers and straight through pipes, not sure wether to stay with 2" or go to 2.5". I noticed some have listed they have deleted the resonator and changed the muffler. I like the sound of blue Aurion that Vijith555 posted and was wondering what the proper specs are on the mod, that is the sound I am after.

The video I posted of my car is pretty much the same setup as the Blue Aurion video I posted earlier. My car is not the supercharged version. I have deleted the rear mufflers and gone with 2.5" pipes at the end nothing else. These vides wont show you the sound you get from inside the car though. Will try to make one or find one.

Is there a problem with too much sound on the inside? I did something similar with 1 3/4 pipes with 6 inch length resonators and the drone was bad. just wondering if theres more sound on the outside rather than inside. Another point, has anyone tried to fabricate a single system, or a full twin system?

Hi guys,

I have done this to my aurion. I sounds ok, a bit drain-pipe like down low but gets a nice bark above about 3,500rpm.

I was going to try some hot-dogs where the original mufflers were as its a bit droney in the car especially at 100kph. But after scoota44's comment im not so sure.

Oh and its 2.5inch pipe.

Cheers

Richard

Thats where I have gone wrong, I did mine in 1 3/4 diameter and with the hotdogs ! I have tried it with the mufflers off and I thought it was tooooo loud !

would be interesting to know how loud it would be, as I made up 1 3/4 inch bolt on pipes with a 6 inch length hot dog on each and they were a bit too loud.

get the intake, very easy to install and sounds great.

So i can get the nice sound without having to install an exhaust system? (which i intend to do in the future anyway) But if theres a cheaper easier option in the meanwhile, i'll take it...

It is the easiest mod that will turn heads. Matching an exhaust is still a very difficult.
