No need to rip out headlight unless your hand cant get in there. There is usually a plug that goes into the bulb
Check out illumo LED lights. The build quality is now higher than previous LED bulbs

Nice and cloudy Melbourne day top of 18° ... although it was showers and raining everywhere else, Melbourne decided not to shed its rain in the area until the last sessions in the afternoon. It was my first time racing on the track of broadford, its another level comparing to what im used to at winton. Its 850m shorter than winton and also has 12 turns, its usually used for motorcycle racing. The differences ive noticed straight away are the hills, the course has some nice uphills, and downhills. So this track has given me another perception on the car and a new learning curve on how to deal with gearing throughout the lowspeed corners on downhills and uphills. Paid attention to the tyre pressures today keeping them between 34-36 psi. Spun out on the same lap on turns 1 and 9 😅 in session 3 after adjusting the tyre pressures from 40 down to 36 and two clicks stiffer (from 7 clicks) on the coils on the fronts.As a final note, broadford super fun on another level with the ups and downs, tune in for the next track day
Thanks for looking !

Hi all,
Was thinking of getting the new 2019 Corolla hatch in the ZR trim. Only thing I've got left to decide is whether I want a black or a silver one. Could everyone just say which one out of the two colours they think looks better? I also think the electic blue looks stunning but I wouldn't want to own one so its black or silver.
Thanks
not gonna go by which looks "better" because everyone has their own perceptions and opinions on said matter,
but i will say: silver cars look cleaner than black cars when dirty, silver cars tend to be "good" at hiding minor swirls on the paint and some minor dings/scratches
also: i agree on the new blue corollas: they do look stunning
21 hours ago, ajs13 said:thanks for the replies. I do want a black car but a lot of the cons people say about black cars has stalled me a little.
some say because the car is dark shade, it will lose visibility during night

Depending on which part of Melb,
North: Toyrolla, Epping
All Toyo Parts, Thomastown
West: BIP Toyota (although theyre a rip usually) Ravenhall
Toylex , Derrimut/Sunshine
Not sure about the east side as i dont got there much.
Try checking gumtree as well, just type in "wrecking camry sportivo"

I need to add:
Bluetooth Streaming as a priority due to needing to listen to audiobooks (for work) via my iphone on my 80 minute trip to work and back each day. I have seen a couple of different units that claim to be a perfect replacement for the existing (which has touch screen based CD stacker, GPS, MP3/WMA capability ... just no BT streaming)
Hope to add:
Reversing camera if possible.
Any help greatly appreciated. now, to dive into past posts to see if I can find any answers ... I did look earlier without success.
Seeing as you're new to the forum, it takes some time to search for things; so welcome.

vouch for vmax, i have them on right now, but i have aggressive pads (qfm a1rm). ive also used rda rotors and dba t3s .
rda and vmax come from the same person. but i wouldnt get anything other than slotted/blank discs from these guys, (even the dimpled ones will turn or look like a blank disc after) if you're in the northern suburbs of melbourne, you can pick them up from there.
From experience the bendix general pads are okay for day to day normal driving, but the moment you take it on a spirited run, or even some downhills with some braking. Your fluid will cook, and your pedal will loose brake feel. i found remsa pads ($50) to be a bit better and cheaper compared to the bendix generals ($75)
On 6/13/2019 at 9:53 PM, AurionX2 said:Be aware on Aurion there can be 2 types of pads, DB1474 or 2243. See this article: https://www.bendix.com.au/bendix-news/comparing-db1474-db2243-toyota-camry-aurion-v40
i may try the 2243 pad in the near future, thanks for the info !

Not a bad day, although i wanted abit more sun as it was cloudy. 25°C felt a lot colder.
Got off track on the sweeper of first session right off the pits 😅, broke a little bit of my confidence which lead to being a bit more cautious the whole day.
Didnt know what tyre pressure were initially set at but this time it only went up to 30psi (previous track day was 5-6psi more) for me i felt like it didnt warm up enough.
I also took out the strut bar halfway through the day as i felt the car was too stiff and twitchy (21 clicks and front strut), and went back to 7 clicks on the fronts. Car felt better swinging into the sweeper and the boob.
Either way, still had fun 😄 and extra seat time and experience is good too, now looking at getting an lsd to help through the "boob" sections (turns 6-9) as my forearms started to hurt after the day 😛
Thanks for looking !

yes i agree, combine with thick tyres
popular brand is quaife

This is a separate wired unit. It allows you to independently run the foglights without having to use the parkers.
If you wanna use OEM wiring, iirc you would need the wiring harness that comes from a Yaris that has footlights installed.
I remember sending out a wiring plug to another member about 6 years ago, as he tried to use the oem stalk for his foglight switch.
EDIT: pics added
This is what yours would look like if you open up your stalk. Its Tedious to go OEM, which is why i opted for the independent wiring.
But if you have enough patience its also doable, Members ride with OEM wired foggies:

i had the same situation and used this as a guide, i know it says lancer, but car is a car, and this helps with pics
goodluck :] !

Beautiful cool cloudy day at winton, with no rain in sight, Finally broke into the 1:50 mark and beat it by two seconds a few sessions later. With a1rms back on the car, my confidence on braking at the 25/50m mark came back. Learnt more on gearing through corners, and putting foot down earlier, room for improvement to break pb next track day

Welcome !
Currently still using the front strut bar from Ultra Racing as one of my first few mods in 2012, fairly straight forward to install as there are two bolts per side.

none that i can think of: you have projectors on your ones so yours will aim correctly, where as if you dont have projectors (like my car) and the light output is scattered
