Oh Kay. Will keep it for a while may sell it later to get a 7 seater. So wont change it at the moment. Thanks

Only have service two months ago. They mention about the brake pads but didn't say anything about the shocks. Not sure if they just want me to install the coilovers.

At that mileage, I would certainly consider changing your shocks. If you don't get the coilovers, get KYB shocks or something like that.

I have about the same quote. I saw there are a few on eBay and about $1200. I am thinking those and get someone to install it. Will save a lot $$$. Also saw some shocks only $220. That maybe a better solution.

does anyone know how long do the shocks for Aurion normally last for? I have 07 Sportivo and been to Pedders today about lowering. They recommend me go for the coilovers. My car is about 130000k. What they are saying is the shocks normally worn out in 130000k so if do the shocks and springs will recommend me to change the whole thing. I don't want to spend too much on it so just wondering if it is ok I don't replace shocks or when I should replace it? Thanks

Hi,

i am a newbie. ive been reading some forums on the after market zr6 speakers. I was wondering if there are speakers that has good bass, trebble, clarity and no distortion. let it be known i am no AUDIOPHILE, and i still think my sx6 speakers are pretty good, but i know there are better speakers. i will keep the factory head unit, so what speakers can you recommend for me? also which speaker installer would be good? jb hifi lol? i am in melbourne and my limit is 600 for the front and back speakers + whatever addition for installation.

thanks tanny

I used to think the speakers are good in SX6 but after I took them out for upgrade, I found they are ****. I just throw them to the bin as they are not even worth anything to sell on ebay. They look like a piece of paper to me. Rockford Punch series 2way and 4 way combination is good. I brought them of ebay for only 110 per pairs. I have the sub fitted in before I brought the speaker but I shouldn't buy the sub as they are real good. They are enough bass for you. To be honest, I read lots of forum and found it is not easy to find the right size of speakers for your boot. Rockford is one of the good power and small size speaker will just fit. You can also go back to my another topic "show your aurion" and check the photos.

It is a brand new one never used. Looks good to me but not sure how much it may cost to fit on my SX6.

Still thinking (7 days left)

I like the light smoke film on the headlights. Has that nice, subtle look to it.

Thanks mate. I brought it of ebay and do it myself.

Just tinted my head lights last night. I am a little bit scare of driving it out now. I brought two rolls from ebay for $26 includes postage. One is light black and one is dark black. Was planning to dark tinted the tail lights and light tinted the head lights. The dark black just too smoky, I give up and only doing the head lights. I don't want to pull off the road and get fine.

Dixonzhai i dislike you greatly for two reasons lol 1. you too have a Caribbean Blue Sportivo (they only made 500) and 2. You have the clear lights. i was hoping id never see one with them in case i liked it hahahaha. Looks nice. The blue must just suit Aurion all of them modded or not just like damn nice!

Just a question. Where you get the TRD brake from and how much it cost you? Thanks.

Funny you should ask that JMJ102 asked the same question just the other day.

Well it was pretty straight forward and easy for me as i actually work for Toyota lol so of course i get thr employee discount. i have also gone and had braided lines made up as with blue covers over the braid ( stops grit from getting in the braid rubbing against the hose) . Best way for you to go about it is simply either go to PBR who supply the package and get the spec to suit Aurion (however these won't have TRD imprinted on them as they are trademarked to Toyota same as Harrop/Eaton can't sell you a red TRD TVS Aurion charger as that design technically is owned by Toyota. So next option would be to shop around Toyota spare parts dept till you find the cheapest price ont he genuine part. However be aware that like FPV/HSV dealers your local Toyota dealer may want to confirm you actually own a TRD before supplying you parts but some aren’t so worried about this however.

Ok, seems like need more money to spend on the car LOL. I am looking at HID at the moment. Car is just like never end. You want to do something, finish one day then you will come up with something else another day.

Well while we're hating, I hate you both. (But Adamsy already knows that).

I like the white one but prefer blue color. All my cars are blue. But white with black looks good.

Those tail lights and rims look amazing!

Cheers for the extra shots Dixon, really nice ride

Thanks mate. I like yours as well. I want to get the rear lip like yours but the wings can tell me where my boot is when reversing. May put on the eye lip later on. I am also thinking dark tinted the tail light. I have brought them from eBay already but my friends said don't put it on. It looks better with the clear.

I start first.

Just put new tail lights on last week and take some shots today. ANZ wheels, Full Rockford punch speakers and sub, amp with Kenwood head unit. Pedders lowering. The last pic is my Mazda3. I always think it looks like Aurion (the front).

This light is clear but actually has light blue color inside which fits the blue color of the car very well. Just have the car wash today and will take some photos tomorrow.

BTW, so there are only 500 of them in this color? I　am so lucky then, haha just know that.

It's better to get a good brand product like sony, pioneer, kenwood, alpine, jvc etc.

I have put my one up yesterday with help of my friends. Those screws up on the wheels just hard! I have even put one of them back yet. Will upload more photos later. I brought them off eBay from Mars. They are great.

do you have to take the whole bumper off to fit it or just the two top screws and unclip the top bit?

thanks

Head unit is mainly about the digital processor and power of amp inside. As I know, Alpine and Kenwood have the best power of AMP so you don't need to have additional amp to run your good spearks (about 45 or 50 RMS per channel). Those cheap chinese head unit you can found on ebay may only have about 15w RMS per chanel which is ok for factory speakers. You always pay what you want to get. I have apline on my Mazda 3 is great. After I got my aurion, I think Apline is bit too expensive so I went for kenwood. pioneer is good as well. Kenwood is better on quality of sound but pioneer is better on control (like ipod, iphone interface) better touch screen etc. Depend on what you want mate.

just buy those carbon look skin on ebay and stick on it. Cheap, fast and easy.

thanks mate, it looks great. I was thinking buying the light from Mars on Ebay but not sure if it will fit my 07 sx6. What is the year of model you have? Did you buy them off ebay, Sorry I am talking about the tail lights.

Amp under front passenger seat and sub in the boot

sorry, yes, I am talking about the center console. So it is normal then? Cause I have driven a few different cars before but they don't have the same problem. I am just worry about this. Sometimes can get a bit hot (in summer).

Does anyone feel the gearbox of Aurion is hot when driving? I find my gearbox is a little bit hot when driving. I am not sure if it is normal. It doesn't happen to my Mazda 3.

black wheel with chrome dish will look better. Black car and wheels
