MR PSI 213

Hey Mate,

Sad to see you losing the Aurion but you have definetly moved on to bigger and better things..

Evo's have the potential to scare the living sh**t out of STI's etc.. They are absolute weapons !

Congratulations on the new purchase and I KNOW you are going to have lots of fun :P:P

Morning Gents !

Ok so After liasing with a representative from my local pedders this is the low down on a few questions I had:

Adjustable xA coil-overs all round + Camber Pins + Control arm adjustments (even necessary?) + Wheel aligment (F&R) + First re-visit after installation I get another free wheel alignment other necessary adjustments all up it was quoted at $2,100

Sports Ryder shocks and sports ryder coil springs all round + camber pins+ wheel aligment + control arm adjustments = $1,850

I have seen in a few other threads that people have had massive quote over - pricing even when just inquiring at different branches of the same company ?

Please shed some light !!

Cheers

Thanks for all of the advice guys,

It sounds like it makes a massive difference on the intake sound at high revs, TBH I already through the Aurion sounded like a beast at high revs but this takes it to the MAX!!

I shall be ordering mine shortly :):)

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Keen to get my K&N intake ordered..

I searched the forums and found that quite a few guys have the K&N Typhoon intake installed on their Aurions.. this was suprising to me because up untill I saw that I thought the ony option was to replace the Factory panel filter with a K&N one which is LAIM

Can someone confirm with me that this is the right one to order, found it by searching for 3.5L Camry

Cheers !

:P:P

Thanks for your advice man

I will give the prepsol a go!

It wont damage the window / chrome will it ?

Ok Guys,

So Being a typical 20YO I made a 'wise' decision to remove my drivers side weather shield as I convinced myself it ruined the 'flow' of the car..

The screws / clips came off fine but when I pulled the shield off there was a thick layer (4-5mm) of sticky tape like stuff that left A LOT of sticky residue (some even in clumps) on the chrome window surround :(

Obviously it looks disgusting and I have tried eucalyptis (incorrect spelling) oil and lighter fluid but they were not very effective :(

Has anyone else come across this problem or know how to fix it ?

Any help is appreciated :)

Cheers

Reviving this thread,

Finally cleared some debts so Slowly moving ahead with some MODS now... As stated originally the LED PARKERS were going in first along with the HID's.. I settled on T10 LED Parkers and 6.3K 35W HID'S (Low beam only)

There are some pics attached of the install and the result

So the next mods are once again very common, Ultra racing strut brace is on the way along with K&N Panel Filter :)

After that there are coil overs to come (can anyone provide some feedback on BC Racing Coils?) and I was thinking 20" BBoss Elanors (Similar to the Biaggi's.. more refined !)

Later Mods :

Double DIN HU

2 12" Kicker (Comp Spec) subs in custom box (I <3 Hardstyle music, so epic bass kicks are a must !)

Alpine Type R door speakers (Only going to replace fronts)

4 Channel 1000 Watt amp (Bridge 2 fronts off and fade so stock rears are hardly used)

:)

Glad to be back on the forums and getting up to date with what other Aurion Owners have done !

Cheers

Before I bought my Aurion I was with Justcar (I think they are a subsiduary of AAMI).. I had an extremely minor accident where a girl backed into the front end of my car and stuffed my fibreglass bumper... I only had third party at the time but I called Justcar for advice on what to do and even though it had nothing to do with them the consultant made sure I understood how it will work and how to protect myself in the case that the other person wouldnt accept being at fault...

Since buying the Aurion I have moved onto AAMI comprehensive.. The consultants seem very helpful with 24/7 enquiry lines and you get 1 free windscreen replacement per year !!.. Being a P-Plater under 20 It was hella expensive but AAMI was still the cheapest... Hopefully I never have an accident where I do have to claim, but if I do then I guess i'll find out what they are really like ??

This thing is PHAT !!

Looks drift spec hahah !

Thanks Defyant, Im loving your Aurion!! Yeah atm I'm at work all I had was my phone As soon as I get home ill update with more pics Yes it's a darker blue called "Carribean Blue" (stock toyota colour, apparently they stopped producing them in that colour in 08/08)

Yeah I originally wanted 20' 20 spoke rims but I saw these at tempe tyres and fell in-love

Cheers mate :) Oooo! Tempe Tyres lemme know when your headin there to get em fitted and i'll meet up with ya :)

Brought my first set of rims and tyres from there :) R.I.P they now sit in the back of the garage collecting dust :(

I looked long and hard at the Biaggi Blacks really wish i hadda brought em now.

Yeah Tempe Tyres is tops (try and say that one as as fast as you can :P)

Why dont you try and sell them and put the money in your pocket !!

As soon as I saw the Biaggi's all I could picture was the car dropped on coilovers bearing those rims.. Im sure my bank account was scared :) tbh I think your car looks awesome with the rims it has though, are they 20's?.. I just like the Biaggi's because of the sleek silver machined spokes and it will flow nicely with the blue.. Still undecided on whether to get thin line whitewalls on the tyres though.. I hope I can afford to get them soon (Insurance aint cheap as a P-Plater :() but yeah that would be great we could meet up at Tempe i'd get them done then we can go for a cruise ;)

Looks nice, sounds like you got some good plans, make it a bit nicer to drive and look nicer :D

Cheers, reckon the strut brace will make much of a difference handling wise?

Nice Car.

For HIDs, go 6k.

And pls go 20s. :)

I want to order the 6k HID's today !! Do you have any good links for an Aurion conversion kit?

But 20's will look HUGEEE!! I dont know why but I can see defyant persuading me on the day to go 20's haha :P

Nice car there. Since you're a P plater it's best to use 4300k HIDs to avoid popo attention. 6k is pushing it but your should be fine but increases your chance of getting detected. Using 8k is too obvious and you will be defected.

4300k may not look the best as it isn't blue but it's the most powerful making it the most practical. Also 8k is pretty much useless in the rain.

Cheers mate :), Hahah on that note I have already been followed by 3 cops in 2 days. I could see them running the plates in the computer systems then getting angry when they couldnt pin me for anything ;). I also think I will be fine with 6K HID's

nice looking car :)

Thanks mate!! Cant wait to get stuck into the mods though. I have to let the piggy bank rebuild a bit though. As you can imagine it just copped a bit of a thrashing ;)

Better pics are a must :) nice lookin car is it dark blue?

19" Kspeed 'Biaggi Blacks" on 245/30/R19 can't wait to see these.

Thanks Defyant, Im loving your Aurion!! Yeah atm I'm at work all I had was my phone :( As soon as I get home ill update with more pics :) Yes it's a darker blue called "Carribean Blue" (stock toyota colour, apparently they stopped producing them in that colour in 08/08)

Yeah I originally wanted 20' 20 spoke rims but I saw these at tempe tyres and fell in-love :D

I have been driving with 10000k and also 8000k for a very long time.. No problems with cops. Just dont get 12k and upwards lol..

But I would get the 8000k as I like the look.

How much did you pick this one for if you dont mind me asking.

Hey mate I'll most probably go to 6K, I like the colour in 6k's after looking at it closer and as Buff said police attention is something to be aware of !

I'm not divulging in an exact figure but lets just say somewhere in the 20's

Look for the steering pulling the left - even after an alignment. Mine does. :(

Hey Mate just thought I would let you know this affects everyone that drives an Aurion, what you are experiencing is 'torque steer' which is evident in most high power FWD cars, the reason having something to do with the left hand side drive-shaft being different to the right hand side resulting in a 'pulling' sensation (always to the left). Getting a wheel alignment would not really improve this at all !!

Hi All,

Picked up my 2007 Aurion ZR6 from the dealership last Saturday.

It has just under 60K on the clock and is 'Carribean Blue'

I can honestly say I am not dissapointed with ANYTHING about this car :)

It is stock standard at the moment apart from an aftermarket Bluetooth Kit and Tints all round

My Mod wishlist is (in order):

6/8K HID's (cant decide which ones, feedback please)

LED Parkers

AUX Mod

Ultra Racing upper strut brace

xA Coilovers

19" Kspeed 'Biaggi Blacks" on 245/30/R19

Here is one quick snap I took with the I-Phone, I have plenty more post wash & polish pics on a digital camera that I will upload ASAP !

Cheers :)

Cheers Guys,

Picked up the Aurion on Saturday, couldn't be any happier :D:D

Pics will be up soon in the "Members Rides" section !

So 20" rims with 245-30-20's and Pedders coilovers have no problem with scrubbage?? Or do you find you are constantly making adjustments to avoid it?

no...i've had no real probs only when i've got a load on (passengers) over around 100kilos then i take it easy over bad irregularities but still no probs because now i just turn the dampener up a notch or 2 n bobs yr uncle. for regular driving and common sense no worries atall.i thought before i got the coilovers i would have scrubbing etc but was pleasantly surprised that i had no probs with the 20inch wheels/tyres.

hope that helps you out a bit

cheers cam :)

Yeah, I suppose thats the whole point of having the adjustable Coil-Overs is you can make adjustments depending on the situation !! Are they a b**ch to adjust, Or is it literally a 2 minute job ? Im just struggling as to whether I should settle for a KYB Setup w/ Super lows or fork out the extra $ and get Coil-overs put in :(

you get 4 dials 2 in the boot n 2 under the hood ( one for each wheel) you just turn for harder or turn for softer ride.back in this thread you'll see different settings liked by all the guys so it really is upto your most frequent driving requirements.if you decide to have them pro fitted then just say how low you want the wheels set to the arch n go from there...i said to pedders an inch n a half or two away from the wheel arch will do because it's a daily ride.it really is a 2 min job to dial your ride after the initial instillation.check out their site n go from there.i hope this helps yu out regards cam :)

Oh thats awesome ! Plug and Play type convenience right there, Favouring the coil overs at the moment lol ! Yeah I think 1 1/2 " is a good benchmark, I definetly dont want $260 tyres scrubbing :( I was thinking of going with these wheels in 19" (20" looks teenage d****head spec :P)

Hi Matt,

Any feedback on the 7 LED you installed in your mates car? I really want to do this to my ZR6 but it seems like there are so many options!

Hey mate,

Could be a number of things is there any specific sounds that catch your attention? It could be the tappets but it shouldnt really be that bad at 75,000 K's

Hey all,

At the moment I am driving a 94 VR Commodore ute but I am picking up my 2007 ZR6 Aurion from the dealership on Saturday and dont think I have been so excited in my short 19 Years on this planet !

I have already been doing a lot of research about Aurions and some good starter mods and unsuprisingly most of the information has come from this forum so I thought it would be a great idea to join :)

Expect to see a few threads from me initially as I discover more and more about the car

Im from the Bankstown area (Sydney) and have a mate that already has an Aurion and we are keen for cruises / meet ups etc

I'll have some pics up and a mod wishlist when I get the car this w/e

Look forward to the discussions

Cheers !!
