ALEXH-

I cannot believe the design on the Sportivo's. What the hell were they thinking? I think I'm stuck with my current ZR6 until the facelift on the new Aurions. What a shame :(

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried hitting it yet :P will do tomorrow. I really don't have time to pull it apart ay, besides, I'm not very technical when it comes to car parts so if fist doesn't work and Unit doesn't fix it self then I guess I'll buy another. Any good ones you would recommend? There are too many to choose from on ebay.

Hey guys, has anyone experienced similar issue with the OEM CD Player? All the lights are out except for the main screen but that displays weird characters on it, you can't understand anything. Every now and then the main screen also turns off for about a minute so when I was driving earlier, it was really dark in my car (yes, headlights were on lol) Here is the picture of the problem Is it worth fixing or just buying an aftermarket unit? I never dealt with anything like this before. All the buttons work etc just the lights and the screen is the issue. Thanks for your time.

Wow thanks for this man. I've had my car for about a month now and I've been wondering what this annoying sound was coming from the boot. lol this explains it all. :)

That is one awesome looking Camry.

Very nice car man. Def. tempted to get coilovers myself. How many km do tyres last on 20inch wheels? I had 18s before on my commodore and they lasted a while. Cheers

Now that's different. I like it. They could have put projector headlights on it though.

That's alot of fuel. How many kms has your car done? I just clocked over 45,000 mark and around Gold Coast (traffic lights + heavy traffic) I get about 9.9 - 10.2 average and highway use goes down as low as 6.8 using 98 octane. I haven't seen mine go past 11.1L and I'm being honest. My tyre pressure is around 37 - 38psi.

Thanks man. Your Ford is outstanding too. I got use to the slim plate now. Doesn't bother me anymore :) I'll leave parkers for later. Don't have any time atm. In the mean time they will sit in my glove-box lol. Thanks alot man. One question if you don't mind? Hows do coilovers compare to standard suspension? Do you lose ride quality at all? And how low can you go with the springs since they are 'adjustable'?

Nice car man. Colour is different, I like it. I only had my car for 2 1/2 weeks too :D so far all I did is HID conversion. Massive difference in night driving. Maybe sound system? Wheels? Suspension? I bought the bright white LED parker lights too, waiting for someone to install them for me as Toyota makes it so damn difficult to access the bulbs. My next purchase will be gps/dvd to replace current 6cd stacker. Hope that gives you some ideas.

Holy KW! That thing is a fkn beast man. Silly question, how's it on fuel?

Awesome. Can't wait for the results man. Might be taking longer but it'll be worth it.

Are they going to charge you extra for that?

Damn man, should have saved a set incase a new member comes along and needs one haha =] nah all good. Rstyle? is that from ebay? Sorry I didn't have time to search, too busy with work etc. And yes, stone cold, none of that Jericho sh!t lol Why thank you. I keep thinking about the back plate. It could have been a thicker one but can't change anything now. I just need to polish the car after all this rain is over. I don't think I'll be able to go to annual meet. I'll see how I go with work etc. Def. organise something for later in the year. I'll be keen for some photos with your car and Steven's. God, last time I went for a cruize/meet up was in 2006 with all the holden bogans :D lolol My LED parker lights have ARRIVED! I tried installing them and gave up. God I am useless when it comes to cars, really. I had to get a mate to help me with a HID install too. Just not a labour person :( I gotta find someone to do it for me. Arghhh

Woah! Very nice man. Didn't know you had the same colour as me :) You put so much work into it, congrats. I don't have time now but when I do I will read all 10 pages before I ask any questions.

I guess you're right. When I have 2k to spend, I'll probably go with something else too. Yeah VF-X, that was you. You had your wheels stolen too? Those tips looked amazing on your car man. It's too much effort for me to do that unfortunately. 316 came from back in the day when I use to watch wrestling :D Austin 316 was my fav. wrestler so 316 stuck with me. I was going to put 085 (year of birth) but too many people have that. btw, where do you get eyelids from?

Thanks man. I didn't think it was going to look as good either. Thanks man :) What I was thinking is maybe putting a twin exhaust tip. I don't know how good it would look though. One member here did it and it looked awesome but he had to cut through the back bumper first. Any way I can avoid this? Or should I just leave it as is? Another mod I was interested in is Sunroof. This will be my long term one, it's around $2,000 from a Brisbane based company. Anyone else did a sunroof or know of someone that had one done?

That's one hell of a car you got there man. Post pics as soon as the bags are in. Awaiting results :) Did you run 14.77 stock? Any mods to the car?

Thanks man. Yeah I need to clean up the back of the car, infact, I need to buy cut n polish and do a proper clean. Been so damn busy lately it's insane. I'll do it either monday or tuesday. Sorry to disappoint on being a vampire member :)

Hey guys! My personalised plates have arrived :D :D Before I post pictures, I'd like to say that New Registration fees are very expensive. I bought the car from NSW so I had to do a complete new vehicle registration here in QLD. It ended up costing me $770.00 for stamp duty + another $350 for 6 months registration. I wasn't expecting it be that high but anywho, it's done. So with plates and rego I ended up paying around 1.5k. Oh well, it's worth every penny :D In this photo, lights look green for some reason I think I could have gotten thick plate for the back. It seems to me there is alot of empty space but it'll grow on me And lights appear normal again, 6000k power ;) Before anyone comments, yes I do take crappy photos :D About the plate; Aleksandar is my name, so ALX suits it. 316 is from WWF. Yes I use to watch wrestling as a kid and I loved stone cold hence 316. I also have a hotmail account since 1998 and it has 316 in it so I thought why not. Oh and I'm not that old now, only 25 :) I'd love to attend the Brisbane meet one week so someone can take a better picture for me. haha You're right man, cheers. It's a great place with some great cars :) Thanks man :) As you might have read, I just spent 1.5k so my modding will stop for a little while. I did however order the LED parker lights (white) to suit the 6000k HID. My next item on the list is a DVD/GPS headunit. They are fairly cheap on Ebay. I don't know about suspension/wheels yet. I had my old VX commodore lowered and it ruined the comfortableness of the car. Coilovers I'd go for but they are bit too much for me atm. I'll see. I'm quiet happy with the way it looks now though. I also don't want to get 19s and not touch suspension, if you know what I mean.

Why thank you. I quiet like your colour choice too :D haha - I hope my personalised plates arrive on thursday or friday *fingers crossed*

Couple more pictures from tonight. Just random HID shots :) I'm very impressed. Much better than my old VX :D Another thing I'm impressed is the fuel consumption. It's outstanding. When I was driving from Sydney to Gold Coast I was averaging 6.8 - 7L per 100km. Since then, I been driving around the coast and it hasn't exceeded 9.2L. Is this normal? I heard average is 9.9 but most people are hovering around 10.5L. Will the number go up? I'm curious.

Cheers for that. I probably won't be able to make it to Nationals due to work but I have every Thursday night off so I can come to the meets in Brissie. I'll post in that thread :D

nice looking aurion man. wheels suit it well. I use to live in Currumbin for 6 years haha. I'm in Varsity Lakes atm. How long you on the coast for?

Love the new Aurions. Those lights suit silver the best. Did you sell your old one or you still have it?
