VIPZR6

Gave it one last wash ...And said goodbye to her a couple of weekends ago :( Had a great time with it, but onto bigger (in this case probably slightly smaller) and better (faster) things :)

Bump - updated first post to be in line with what I actually have after various ebay sales Also, price drop! on all items, getting sick of looking at them

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281273569062?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Set of 3 Weathershields...on a count of I broke one when I was removing them :(

Really want to detail this thing...its calling my name :O

Aurion is HOPEFULLY finally going this weekend...

Update time :) Been a busy month or so with work etc, in the mean time getting the Chaser moved into my name with roadworthies and such Started with raising it up to a legal height. Love the TEIN coilovers and their simplicity for achieving this :) Then the task of removing the split dump+screamer for a standard dump+cat (for obvious reasons haha) Anyone who has worked on these before will know how much of a tight squeeze it is trying to get a spanner and hand up between the bracing, steering arm, exhaust and everything else that just happens to be in the way - tenfold when you take into account the design of the split dump :( Still in tow minds on whether to get rid of it and get a simpler designed 3" dump or get it modified so the wastegate is plumbed back into the exhaust Did a bit of detective work on the bodykit; Threw the wheels off the Aurion on for the roadworthy :P Made a new local friend And this is how its currently sitting :) Got onto the paintwork last night and cleared up a few scuffs and things, Have been doing little bits and pieces here and there where I've had the time but the main focus at the moment is getting a 100,000 service organised as the km's are creeping up there :( bit of a dark cloud but once it's done I'll atleast be able to really start enjoying the car to its full potential. All in the midst of trying to sell the Aurion at the same time :| Slow progress...

Glad to see my eyelids went to a good home :) Looking smart mate

Confirming Having owned the K&N for over 12 months I never got heatsoak even in the hottest days. The shield is actually metal and forms a seal on the bottom of the bonnet, with the way it's designed it still uses the factory cold air Intakes to draw cool air In from the air dam

If anyone is interested, here's the carsales ad :) http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Aurion-2008/SSE-AD-2534227 Oh, the eyelids are gone to prodigy 07 Typhoon intake still up for grabs

Mate, it doesn't feel like a10yr old car at all. It's so tight! one of the main reasons I picked it up. And it will only get tighter as I plan on giving the undercarriage a complete overhaul (if funds permit of course) Hoping to make a start this weekend :) been such a busy time of year (as it always is) and have really only given it a wash and threw the wheels on for ****s and giggles...and they are still on now :/ First things first its needs an RWC so standard dump pipe, airbox are going in and I'll wind the coilovers up a little. Will try and put the 17's off the Aurion on while I still have it too After that, 100,000 service, then the fun mods can begin :D Yeah clear indicators and repeaters are on the list. Has HIDs aswell so the clear bits will really set it off I think :) paid 17.5 for it with some standard bits thrown in to get me a RWC/out of defects

Eyelids sold, Typhoon intake still available :)

Parts are up for grabs if anyone is interested; Eyelids painted in white; http://www.ebay.com....=item417afb03b0 K&N Typhoon Intake kit http://www.ebay.com....7afb16c2&_uhb=1 Also have a set of 3 weathershields (cheap Chinese specials) as I broke the driver side rear when I was removing it :/

Can always take the listings down for the right price :)

As a few of you guys might already know, this is for the rest of you :) Enter the new project, the JZX100 :) Picked it up last weekend, more or less a bit of an impulse buy. Once I saw it I had to have it, photos don't do justice as to how neat and tidy this is for a 14 year old car. Has done less K's than the Aurion, which is believable given the condition its in. Almost due for its 100,000 service though however :( Quick run down on what its got; - Factory manual - Factory LSD - Factory sunroof - Factory (looks to be anyway) TRD 320k cluster - Power FC - HKS FMIC - Split dump (with screamer :P) - Cat-Back Kakimoto 3" exhaust - Some crazy ***** Panasonic head unit that does pretty much everything, all in Japanese :/ - Leather look seat covers - Random Japanese gizmos - Now sporting the BBS reps off the Aurion :D Apparently sporting 235kw atw @ 16PSI It makes all the right noises and is a dream to drive. Already have a shopping list of things to do, which is more than likely going to start with (once its transfered) installing a cruise control module for those long day trips I dont have many detailed pics at this stage, only a few from when I picked it up, Enjoy! More photos and progress to come soon

Update time...as you may have guessed from the modified topic title, yes the Aurion is up for sale... If anyone is interested in the car, or any of the bits (wheels, eyelids, LED lights etc) PM me for more details. New arrival will be posted up in due course :)

Flyby vid :)

Sounds about right, they don't change in price much, I think that's how much I paid a few years back so yeah, great quality item though :) Golden rule with them is to make sure the car is spotless and dry before you put the bra on

Mine will most likely be up for sale in a few weeks if you want to wait :) Will save on shipping costs from US

http://carbra.com.au/ - Very good to deal with, have had bras with them for over 10 years and never had any issues with quality etc, have a very large database of vehicles to go off too http://www.invisiblecarbras.com.au/ - Havnt had any dealings but saw one at a car show, was impressed but a bit pricey

My 08 ZR6 has all of these features aswell...and a nicer kit to boot :)

How do you go in the rain? Id imagine having a pod filter down that low and exposed, would get a lot of water thrown at it, especially if you happen to be travelling behind someone. Which wouldn't be too effective after a while...

Even if you tinted the other one it would most likely never look the same. You'd be better off trying a wreckers, or getting a set of after markets so they are both the same shading unfortunately

sure is, and this is Up Garage Im so keen for this, 2 weeks today I'll be jetting over to Tokyo :)

Short Ram Intake/Typhoon are the same thing (in terms of K&N products anyway) From experience, my economy has been better since I installed mine nearly 12 months ago. Sound is mad, got an extra kw on the dyno. Do it

Loving that ducktail :) The 2013 gear knob is a nice little touch too, where did you pick it up?
