  1. TRD to VIP transformation in progress progress photos.... CCFL Angel Eyes fitted (Vick, Thomas, and Luke.... thanks for the tips) Blest Bahnsports are re-finished and fitted (cheers to Mick Wheels) Centre Console wrapped (gonna re-do the headunit surround, I'm not happy with it) Countdown to April 27th when the transformation is set to be complete. Remaining works: roof wrap, spoiler delete, coilovers ($$$ permitting this month), cosmetic paint, JDM badges, tow bar delete, hood vents, new grill, new mesh, 5% tint rear glass
  2. Luke, what is your rim diameter, width, and offset? I am about to pull the trigger on some 25mm spacers. Worried by the rubbing issues you have from 20mm.
  3. Ok, lights are installed. My TRD has sexy angel eyes. Cheers to Vick for the idea. Vents arrived Rockstars sold but new wheel aren't done yet... hehehe... So the car is on jacks in the garage. Gotta wrap the centre console Booking into the body shop this week. Progress photos tomorrow.
  4. Speaking of diced up bonnets..... My vents just arrived today. Ordered these from the states http://www.bodykits.com/3dCarbon/Hood-Scoops/3dCarbon-Hood-Vents-with-Grille-_-Pair-_-691101/554861/ Hopefully I can figure out how to do my lights over the weekend, they arrived on Tuesday. Too bad you and Vick aren't closer to QLD.
  5. Ok here is a video of 0-140 in my car. Going uphill on the entrance ramp to the motorway. http://youtu.be/jgJaAeHS2nI
  6. Will do a zero to 100 run video today or tomorrow to capture the 'real sound' from the cockpit. Maybe I can get the missus to film from outside the car too.
  7. Pretty much a direct fit. Oddly, the support bolt threaded into the bolt hole just to the left of the build number plate, connecting strap I turned up and fixed it under the last hose clamp before the pod filter. Besides the awkward positioning of the sensor and vacuum hose, it's a good fit. No cutting required.
  8. Cheers everyone! Sounds great on the road too. No need for music.
  9. Ok, I have installed a Weapon R Dragon Intake. It is for a 2008 V6 Rav-4. Check it out. Let me know what you think. http://youtu.be/CTE6qgy-hf8

    oh the waiting is f-n killin me! So jealous! Keep me posted on fitment
  11. Wow! That looks awesome! Great look and stance!
  12. Update: Halfway through installing the weapon-R intake. Will have a video up this weekend. The supercharger whine is insane! Dropped the Eurolines off at the wheelshop to get stripped and polished. Get them back in a week. Once the 20s sell, it's off to the paint shop.
  13. I'm thinking ur right. Definitely loosin the spoiler.
  14. and here are the nonqueenslanders mocking me with their freedoms.... No... Just coilovers for me.
  15. Bahahaha! Nice Getting rid of all the silver on the dash and steering wheel. Getting rid of all the dark grey on the bodykit. Switching to 18" Work Eurolines and lowering her down. At least that's the concept I have in mind right now.
  16. Inspired by members ZR6XY and dutchie101, I'm abandoning my current look, and heading toward VIP. - Dash is dismantled - 20" Rockstars are up for sale - Lukey mufflers off and up for sale - Parts on their way over - 1000 new "ideas" a day - undrive-able car in garage - frustrated wife in the house As you Aussies say.... Such is life
  17. Darryl.... You and the others can't rain on my parade. Even if they are dilusions of grandeur, it's tough to argue with cruise control on the same 100k trip every Monday. As for power.... eh... let me dream. I couldn't care less about an 11 sec car at this point in my life. Stage 2 Turbonetics fitted 2JZ Lex IS 300 left behind in the US did me just fine. Happy with the bad A$$ saloon I have now. Hoping to get in the "12"s eventually. Happily spending copious amounts of money doing what I love in the meantime....
  18. Speaking of my rims.... I think I may sell em and get some smaller lighter wheels.... Rays or Advan... all black still, but now that I'm gonna start doing performance mods, I don't want to weigh her down.
  19. Got rid of the mufflers on my TRD.... Sounds great.... I swear I have more power... and my highway fuel consumption went from 8.3 to 7.4 litres per 100k.... Why didnt I do this before? Video on YouTube... search TRD Aurion Mufflers deleted... I would upload it but my PC has a virus, and work PC blocks YouTube
  20. Is your roof painted or vinyl? If vinyl, black or carbon fibre? Trying to decide what to do with mine. BTW, ur beast is lookin very good. Classy mods, not over the top. Well done.

    I put Dyno-mat in my doors and rear panel...... Rattles are gone.... Ok, doesn't help the roof issue, but one step at a time.
  22. Nice ride.... U should see the crap I drove at 17. sigh.... it was sad. But u are doin it right. Well done!
  23. You should round up the crew and head North. I'm sure some of us QLD'ers could head south. If we planned it well, could have an unofficial eastcoast meet at Coffs Harbour or something.... would be sick
