WhiteTRDAurion

I havent seen too many goldies. Looks really nice imo. when u re do the roof get your rims done to match. dont agree that the discs make the wheels look too small... I cant really tell cause im using a phone to view the pics, reckon gold calipers with black rims would look sweet! Very nice Steven

I have had my car for a few month now with only minor issues that i was aware of at the time of buying the car. It's now just gone 81,000km and recently has not started as it did when i bought it. Instead of turning over 1st go like it used to, it now cycles for about 1-2 seconds before turning over. It only happens when it has sat overnight or for more than 8hours. Once warmed up it starts fine???? It almost sounds like it is struggling for fuel, BP ultimate for the record... I was hoping someone with the TRD might know if it is a specific issue as i never had any similar dramas with the ZR??? Any idea other than a possible waning battery??? It does turn over fine like thrre is plenty of juice???? Regards

I had mine done through Toyota as a fix for the pull to the lift issue. Hasnt really fixed the issue for me. When its starts to really bother me i'll book her into Fulcrum....

You could almost slap a Honda badge on it... It might grow on me... I'll reserve my final opinion until I see the Sportivo models

Yeah DJKOR I certainly miss some of the features of my zr... Push button start, power passenger seat, smart entry etc, etc... There's probably a reason they only made 7 :) I wonder if TRD will ever look at the new Aurion???

Seems the statistics were a little off the mark: 209 Ink.....................237 (38.0%) 1D4 Silver Ash.........233 (37.4%) 3R3 Wildfire...............99 (15.9%) 061 Diamond White...47 (7.5%) 8T4 Tungsten...............7 (1.1%) You'll now know how unique you really are ... Heads up, there's a Tungsten one on carsales ATM. The jury is still out for me... Still prefer white and in no way am I biased.... :)

No idea. If it's bad as u say I wouldn't be messing with it mate. Get it to a trustworthy service centre for a diognosis

Squeak update!! No mice located this morning disproving theory 1... Looks like theory 2 is the most likely... Offer still stands if anyone has the tools/know how to fix the issue... Have lost faith in the Toyota 'sevicing' deartment who deny the fault exists.

Sorry to highjack this thread but I believe I now have the Aurion with the most dash rattle in Aus.. Just picked up my car from the service centre after having a suspension fix on the RHS. The drive home was an experience to say the least. The suspension was firm and felt better however I can no longer Hear myself think above the sqeaking and groaning of the dash. I used to have a multitude of squeaks above the clock area and the centre console but after the 'fix' I have developed a new one around the steering wheel area and it's twice as annoying as the other two combined. Even on the smoothest of roads it squeaks all the time. I decided to ask the guys at the workshop if the could look into it but the told me the have to remove the whole dash and can sometimes make it worse... Trust me it can't get worse... I have two schools of thought on this; 1- I have mice in my dash and they are slowly multiplying and nesting in different areas of my dash/console. To disprove this theory I'm going to leave the car doors open tonight and breadcrumb trail some cheese to a series of set mouse traps. If I wake up tomorrow and have failed to catch any mice I believe theory 2 may apply... Theory 2- Toyota Aurion dashes are inherently prone to squeaking and Toyota dealerships are inherently prone to denying theory 2... I'm offering to anyone lives near Brissy and wants to earn a premium carton of beer/bottle of spirits to physically help me in ridding my car of the dash mice/squeaks... On a side note, after today's fix my car now pulls to the left again... I can see myself buying a one of those castor correction kits mentioned in these forums.... :) WhiteTRD I'm guessing it has something to do with stiffening up the suspension

Thanks guys, I have my combo worked out Steven. I just gonna go with my initials and year of birth. A lot of the combos only afford the opportunity of 3 letters 2 numbers... Cheers Djkor, I wanted to know if it would look out of place on the rear. Job done, 1 slimline 1 standard...

Hey guys, looking to get some plates from PPQ. Thinking of running black on white 3 letters 2 numbers for $435 or there abouts. I'm thinking slimline for the front and standard for the rear however also considering slim + slim. Just chasing thoughts on what looks best from those that already have QLD pp's on Aurions... Cheers! WhiteTRDAurion...

Where did you locate those stats 450HP? Thanks for the figures Never seen a tungsten TRD. Anyone have pics?

Can't complain about the service dept Oldmac Cleveland

Thanks for the fast response u54mot... I'm with Djkor. I would have sworn that there were more red than white. I had to wait on carsales for a white one to come up in QLD... I'm pretty sure there aren't any on atm either... Love to see pics of the one off... Djkor, I read somewhere on here u were thinking of letting your girl go for something a little quicker... Was that just a passing thought or are you still feeling that way?

Slightly off topic and sorry to turn this into trivia night... Adamsy, or anyone else in the know..... What percentage of each of the four colours (black, silver, red & white) did the 600+ TRD's come in????? Law of averages would have to say silver & black = 1 & 2 just because they were colours used on both models..... But I can't find the answer anywhere. Cheers!
