Does anyone know where i may possibly be able to get Mirror Indicaters for my 36 Series Camry. I came across the following pick, not sure if it is aftermarket or genuine, but am pretty certain i havent seen these on NSW Roads....

Id say to go for one of the Bridgestone range, either Taranza ER592 or ER300 . My Camry originally came with Dunlop SP300 tyres which were really good, i got almost 70, 000 Kms out of them. The downside is these tyres are no longer made in Australia. So i wouldnt recommend these tyres any longer, regardless of what the Tyre Centres say.

You will need to partially unscrew the bumper (if u can the whole bumper but partially should also be fine), then unscrew the headlamp move it slightly forward then replace the bulbs.

They are not illegal but should only be used in diverse conditions. From memory its a $90 fine with loss of 2 Demerit points. I havent seen your fogs so im not sure how bright they are but if oncoming traffic high beam you then it must be bright :) Your other option is to upgrade your low beams to HID lights if your willing to spend the money or even get night driving lights.

They look great, i was about to get a set from ebay, they sold for about $160ish but were the first ones, 5x100 Thanks... The Kappa 17's would look pretty good on the ZR Corolla, i know they are not cheap though. Seeing as you went to Stewart, you must be a local, i'll keep an eye out for you :D Yeah sure why not :)

I finally got my Tyres put on Today, i ended up getting the Adrenalin RE001 225/45/17. I think size 235/45 would have fit aswell..... The Speedo is only 1 KM higher which isnt really a worry.... The next thing i have to do is get Locknuts for the wheels.. anyone got any ideas how much they will cost or what is the best ones to get?Not sure if toyota has Genuine Locknuts.. In the meantime here are a few pics that i took of the wheels.... i will take more clear ones during the day

Thanks for your input everyone, i have decided to go with The Bridgestone RE001. I Went to Bridgestone today and have placed an order for these tyres for $220 a pop (225/45/17) and should get them by Tuesday. I wanted to get the ER300 since they are more quiet and use the RFT technology but they are out of stock :(

Sorry about the car :( , atleast you and your dad are ok thats the main thing as you cant put a price on that...

Yes it has almost everything, the only few things i saw that was missing was a DVD Player (it has a GPS however),rear Camera and HID lights... Otherwise all good :)

$2000 is not worth it. The max i was willing to Spend on Climate Control was $1000 (Tops). I saw one of my work mates 36 Series Azura Model Camry the other day and it had the Climate Control Air Con.... It seemed like one of those Must have Items for the car....

I came across the following Website by the name of Carbon Black, it allows you to review/Compare Tyres and Centres in Australia. Feel free to have a look, Carbon Black URL As mentioned in the forum here, Re0001's are good Tyres but they seem to wear out quick, others have left the same review on Carbon Black....

Does anyone know how much would it cost to upgrade to Climate control on the 36 Series (Gen 5 im assuming) Camry?

Something Similar happen to one of my mates 2008 model Sportivo. The dealer changed the spark plugs, that seems to have fix the issue. If your car is parked on an angle driveway that can also cause it to choke. Sometimes (but rarely) Battery can also be a factor.

David (SupaTouring) has provided this answer before for a thread on the Aurion boards. Same deal really: The "kit" has items for removing the wheel nuts if the nut hex is a different size to standard as was the case with my gen4 Camry with the GTP 17x7 wheels. The nuts for those were 19mm instead of 21mm so a wheel brace was included along with a piece of felt to protect the wheel when in the boot and I think it also came with another bolt to hold the spare wheel down in the boot. So really the kit is to give you any extra items to remove or store the accessory wheels from/in the car. Toyota accessory wheels that I have bought have always come with wheel nuts, centre caps and valves So in other words This is an option item to have and is not a requirement? Or should i just go and get it just to be on the safe side :)

Looks like i will be getting Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001 Tyres. I might give my Local Bridgestone Tyre Centre a call and see if they can Match the Price with Jaxquickfit I Called Bridgestone last week for a price, they quoted me $256 Per Tyre. were as Jaxquickfit quoted me $230 each if i get set of 4. I opened one of the Alloy wheel Boxes today and was looking at the Instuctions, one of the sentence said to "Install With a Fitting Kit (Refer to Dealer) If applicable. Does anyone know anything about that? What is a fitting Kit. The box had wheelnuts, Centrecaps and Air Valvecaps....

yes it is 225/45R17...the RE001's in that size are made in Australia. and they are right now priced @ $249 @ JaxQuickFit" And i did have those same wheels for the V6 Camry(Gen 5.5)....but i ran 235/45R17 on Bridgestones RE030 and they lasted like 55000kms... If i use 235/45/ instead of 225/45 will there be any issues with the driving or the speedo showing incorrect speed. I have come down to the following Three tyres, Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001 $230 at Jaxquickfit Toyo Proxes 4 (Price Unknown) Dunlop SP SPORT 3000A $225 at Jaxquickfit Take your Pick :)

I previously had 20 X 8.5 on my 2005 Camry, i had to get the rear gaurds rolled in. I only had those wheels for about 6 months then ended up selling it due to the following reasons. Rough Driving, Feel every bump on the road Constant wheel allignments. steering wheel shakes once speed is over 100 Kms

My Brothers 2008 Sportivo lights had the same issue. you can tilt it up which slightly improves the vision. however in the long run you may want to consider upgrading to 6000K HID lights. cost my brother $400 installed

If Possible, Try a different Battery if you havent already done so?

Shouldn't this be in the Camry section? LoL Anw, 225 sounds about right. Aurion's is 215/225, cant really remember. Dpending how much ur budget is. Consider Pirellis as well? Thanks VF-X :) I was looking to spend between $200-$250 per tyre. Any particular Pirelli Tyre?

I Went down to the Toyota dealer Today (Stewart Toyota in Sutherland) and picked up 4 Vortex 17X7 Alloy wheels for my 2005 36 Series Camry. The Vehicle currently has 205/65/15R (15X6 alloys im guessing) tyres on them. Two questions, does anyone know what tyre size will i require for these new 17 inch wheels? e.g. 225/45/17R Secondly what brand name tyres should i go for? i had the following wheels in mind Bridgestone ER300 Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001 Yokohama S Drive Dunlop SP SPORT 3000A (downside is that this Dunlop tyres are no longer made in Australia) Please feel free to recommend other brands..

With my 2005 Altise Limited 2.4, I usually get approx 650 Kms (with Air Con Use) on a full tank.
