  1. Does anyone know what the actual specs are for a 2007 Camry, assuming Toyota data are being compaired with at tyre centre like Bob Jane?

    I read that new cars do not have 0.0 figures like Toe, Camber etc. Is this true?

  2. A big reason to upgrade your stock wheels to aftermarket is to make your car look better. That said, getting stock offset is a no no in my opinion as no matter what wheels you get without a flush look your car won't look good,

    So if the stock offset is +45, you should look to get less than +30, ideally with staggered setup.

    Eg for 18s, i would get something like +25 in the front and +30 in the rear (18x8, 18x8.5).

  3. Don't understand why you pay $40-$50k for top of the range camry only to find out there's no HIDs or washers. You would expect them to be included since you're paying that much.

    Toyota forgot to fit them mate, that's all.

    These days i would expect any car costing more than 20K to have Hids.Halogen is 80s technology.

  4. They are not, the MY10 (released in 2009) is an upgrade to our 2007s which has improved fuel economy at 8.8L. Our Gen 6 is 9.9L. You know it's a gen 6.5 (sportivo) when you see the door having no strip on it. Gen 7 is the new one.

  5. Your numbers are pretty much what i get if not they are a tiny bit better than mine. Although are you using E10 or 95/98 fuel?

    What about the models after 2007, they say fuel economy has been improved for those post 2007 cars.

  6. The car feels light and quick off the mark so it's not weight that is causing it to drink i don't think, rather the the 2.4L displacement, big engine drink more.

    If it's 100km i don't usually fill up but before i know it it's down to 30km.

  7. Hi all, yesterday by car fuel warning light did not light up till 30Km left on the Range.

    I know the indicator is not 100% but yeh 30Km is very far off. Normally it's 50Km.

    Has it happen to anyone else?

    Btw the camry drinks like crazy and i'm left to feel insured about the reading.

  8. I just realised i've beeng using the the "wrong" oil filter for my 07 Camry. I used the the Ryco Z386 twice before never occur to me that i should be using Z432 untill today. Luciky it fits.

    Z386 according to the book was for 96 camry.

    Anyone know the difference? the Z432 looks to be a little longer.

  9. Also sometimes, when driving slightly uphill on cruise control the car doesn't hold the set speed. It accelerates just above the set speed, then drops just below only to accelerate again. Very annoying.

    That's normal, when going uphill/downhill the engine has to increase/decrease speed due to more work/less work done.

  10. The fuel that you fill affects your petrol consumption as well, I usually fill 95 or 98 in my 07 Camry and get between 9.9 and 12 depending on my driving style, however when I fill e10 in the tank it seems to stick around 13-14L/100kms. Also depending on how you drive, I seem to get further on 95 and 98. I drive about 500kms p/w and have a bit more than 1/4 of my tank left.

    Im unhappy with my fuel consumption. I seldom hit the freeway so the comsumption is alot. Between 11-13 and for a 4cyl it's heaps. I might try 95.
