  1. Waiting to see one cool picture of your roof?

    Yesterday I saw a SX6 with the B-pillars & rear spoiler done, look really cool.

    I want to have a go at covering my console, as the paint is starting to look tried, then the silver parts in the dash then the silver parts in the doors.

    yeah i got like a extra metre just in case i decide to do my internals, but looking at it it doesnt look easy, i will give it ago but going to concentrate on roof, bonnet and mirrors first and b pillers.... hmmm interesting, cant do my spoiler, took it off lol

  2. hery guys, got a heap of carbon fibre vynl bulk cheap from work, they did the 86 and a new shape aurion zr6 and it looks prity cool, so i decided to give it a go, if i dont like it its easy as just pulling it off since it was cheap, think it cost me like 50 dollars for enough to do my roof, bonnet and wing mirrors with lots left over.

    im going to put some pics up when done, i should be at least do the roof today hopefully, and than it will be really good if i can get some honest opinions on how it looks :) cheers guys will keep you posted.

  3. People, if it a aurion IT IS A RECALL. fixed on complaint. if it is a rattle noise on cold start up and when oil is changed it is vvti controllers, big job, motor out to replace. it is done free of charge if your car is in the specs. contact your dealers about this. i cant remember if it is with klugers as well due to same 2gr motor. i see that there a few complains on hilux's and corrolas, hiluxs have the 1gr motors (v6 petrols), it happens when the car has lack of servicing, never heard it on corrola, thats a new one. if you just brought the car and the noise is happening please check in the oil cap for oil sludge, even take rocket cover off to have a better look, dont buy it if there is, it will need a motor re-build due to it and not long after be getting black smoke out of exhaust. (this is a common thing, even if it misses 2 or more services this accurs!!! be carefull. (most common with the 2gr')

  4. i have read into this, i am a toyota qualified mechanic, im also looking into supercharging my zr6, for my price its 5.2k for the supercharger gen, getting it aint a problem but it 5k just for the supercharger, you need the patching harness, TRD ecu, breathers etc list goes on, DO NOT GET GEN! its a harrop supercharger, friend of mine thinks you can go to a specialised harrop dealer and get a kit for little over 5k, will be looking into it and letting you know :)

    also not cheaper for me to just buy trd, i like my car and mods :) plus prob can only get 20k for my car at 80k kms, 5k for a charger, and trds are still going for 35k plus.

  5. hey guys, my name is Matt and i have owned my silver 08 zr6 aurion (top of the range with all gadgets) for about a year. I am a qualified toyota tec so any question please dont hesertate to ask :) i will help as much as i can, as im sure you guys will do the same :)

    things i have done to car:

    • removed spoiler
    • de-badged all badges (including rear toyota badge and removed recess that badge sits in)
    • new grill, got some security screen and used that due to small holes to minimise sight of air con condensor
    • powder coated zr6 5 spoke rims to gun metal dark gray
    • lowered with king springs
    • 16% window tint

    hope to chat to you all soon :)
