I'm in

I'm in on either Saturday, 22nd is prefered. 29th is last Saturday before we move to Sunny Coast.

I just did a muffler swap. I still had to do some Dynomat to reduce the droning annoyance on long drives.

Ooops! What happened??

B)

Dutchie.... this is too hot! well done! VIPs are the best auto sub-culture at the moment. I will be taking my TRD the VIP direction once she isn't my daily driver. You have the perfect blend of aggressive and classy...

Cheers guys!

Anyone have insight on what happens when your odometer doesn't work and it takes a year to notice? Otherwise this may be the magic cruiser that had 256,359 when purchased and miraculously de-ages herself back to that overnight.

Didn't notice till I thought about selling it and noticed the milage hadn't moved. With my attention to detail, I could be the next Sherlock Holmes, SMDH!

I would service it if i were you... and then fix the ODO.

...and the shameful story continues... its been serviced twice since I've owned it. Nobody noticed the odometer wasn't ticking over, they have even replaced the reminder sticker on the glass.

God only knows how many k's it has.... good thing its a Toyota!

Cheers guys!

You don't see any of them Odyssey's done up here in Adelaide.

I reckon they look pretty good but not as nice as a nice Tarago.

Many TRD's getting round in Brissie (if that's where your from)?

mmmmmm no, not so much. There are a few around, far from "many".... I like it that way tho. I don't wanna be like the commowhores

Dam.... U coulda bought my wheels!

I'm sooooo glad to see someone mod-up a Tarago, I'm soooooo sick of done-up Odyssey vans. Well done, great start

Very nice mate! Were they taken at the spit? Tis a nice background for a nice car!

Thanks man, yeah, I was showing off the new shoes for a sunday session at the spit. Or as the say back home, "i was stuntin"

I need to post some pics of my FJ45 too.... She's never had any forum love... Good thing my missus is a proffesional photographer!

I'm an all around "petrol head"

I also don't recall seeing those wheels the other night.

Nice to see some work done on a TRD. Hopefully it might encourage certain other TRD owners on here.

What's the little red button below the air con for?

Ah Yes.... The Red Button.....

The Geniuses at Southside Toyota (Mount Gravat) thought that was the most logical place to put the kill switch for an iPod transmitter to the stock radio.....

I will use it as the kill switch for my amp once I'm wired for BASS next month

Yep.... sure do... you need 4 spares? hahaha!

okay guys, I finally posted some photos of my TRD. Check em out in Member Rides.... Lemme know what you think of the new wheels...

new pics posted in member rides.... let me know what you think

OK, finally, here are some shots of my baby.

2008 TRD Aurion 3500sl

MODS:

• KMC Rockstar 20 inch mags
  
• Gloss Black Toyota Badges (front and rear)

Smooth lookin Aurion... Not over done, just right. U need some proper photos but

I have an 84' FJ45 ute, I think the suspension dates back to 84. eBay has Ironman full suspension kits for 1500, does anyone know if they are any good?

Cheers!

and by fit in well, we mean "unlikely to fit in anywhere else" B)

This is true, hahaha. But there is no fakeness with you guys..... Who would fake depravity? Even the rap.... er... um... rav-4 is welcomed in. Good times!

22nd is fine by me. O'Reilly's Plateau is a fun drive, but we'd still need to go back over to Tamborine for a decent BBQ spot.

"click"

That's a little late isn't it? I'd leave soonish for a 8-8.30pm arrival.
