buh with CAI .. what does it basically do ? like i know it brings in more air to the engine which i believe will gain a li lbit of power .. does it change the sound of the car ???

thanks for this guys .. IM NOT ALOOONNEEE WOOOOTTT

LOL gw man :D. Firstly with the CAI, when you start your car up in the mornings it's going to make a 'hissing/suction' noise others have called it a 'vacuum like/hurricane' noise. When it has warmed up, it sounds awesome. You'll never want to take it off, more aggressive sound will be achieved.

Performance wise..er.. bit of a problem. lol. Most people have found including me that you tend to get more lag then usual down low (low rev ranges). Though you get a bit more gain in the higher rev ranges.

In the end it's upto you. I sacrificed laggy bottom end for the noise factor.

Hope this helps :D

AEM CAI and a sportivo cat-back sitting in the garage.

Looking good man! How better does it look now! How much did the TRD grille cost ya? I thought it came with carbon fibre film already? When are the eyelids going on?

hey guys got a 06 sedan, just wondering what shocks you have replaced your stock ones with? i have lowered springs. just wanted to know which ones you are using and their performance? thanks..

I've been riding on King super-lows for the last 20,000km's. I heard the Koni's are the way to go in term of shocks. I need a set soon anyway, don't want the stock shocks to die anytime soon.

Not much, hahaha a heaver right foot, seriously thought im pretty sure with the light weight pulley i will get even closer.... :D

Dugong aka Andrew has a tank of laughing gas kekekke

Hey I saw a Smallville episode with Kyptonite/NOS mixture. That 180sx was flying, i was thinking..

me and voy have already cracked the 16s....

i got 16.6 and he got 16.8 i think...

Nice! What mods are you guys running atm? I have a stivo catback with AEM CAI. 1 second is pretty good lol

off topic, but what does the white resonator box do? I thought the resonator was part of an exhaust?

so how is the challenge going Voy? Why couldn't my dad just save 2k and buy manual :( Why would you want to pay more for a slower and less fun ride, i will never understand. LOL

buy genuine!

generally aftermarket will have fitment issues that is just the way it was moulded. try brute force if you want to change the shape.

genuine from toyota ???

Yes, Toyota does have a genuine SPORTS MESH GRILL, (Part Number: 0842312820). According to the Pacific Toyota Accessories list your looking at around $204 unpainted I am assuming.

The TRD Aero Grille is around that price range as well I think?

But you should definitely ring around. Prices do vary dramatically. Gary McMillan on High Street, Preston gave me some good prices.

hahaha, im saving to lower me car :D , after that save up for phillips hidssssssss

Man your sedan is kikin ... i love it .. my grile and eyelids i can't wait for and those foggies look hot ... perfect for corolla if it wasn't for my cold air intake behind fog light s i would buy these straight away

did you go low or super low springs ?

did you say you were getting JDM taillights .... i want different tail lights but no one in australia has them for sedan ?

Thanks man :). As you can see with the grille its a bit off. But it does look much better. I went superlow's. The car jumps around way too much I think I need to invest in some shocks $$$.

Yeah tail lights would be awesome! Like kcorro's they look really unique (they are) there's also LED's available for our car. Maybe if you beg kcorro he will help you source that stuff.

mate it was 100% bolt on as when he sold the sedan it was put onto a 1zz hatch...

well i would like to see cause i wasted $200 already and 3 exhaust shops say no ..

everything available for hatch ///nothing for sedan :(

the hatch is 200mm shorter maybe sportivo exhaust doesn't fit but the mounts under care i can 200 % tell you DO NOT match

see pic below .. quite a difference

they do not fit as the size is different i was upset beliving this forum that it would fit - sportivo hatch the smaller one

LOL, I purchased one off a member too.. GG

Yeah, I purchased off kelvin5878 aswell. The eyelids fit nice and snug but the grille wouldn't fit in flush. the right side was abit more out. The grille fit 95% correctly.

Then I purchased the TRD Sport Aero Grille (off another member), the carbon fibre looking one, this was a 100% fit. But it does cost more than kelvin5878's grille.

Just a tip as Arthurs seat is my second home :D

Don't speed as you enter the ascent/exit the descent because it's a bad thing to do ;)

wink wink

Shouldn't speed at all. It's bad!!! I'm a good driver, and never speed

LOL! true, you just overtake onto oncoming traffic. :D

Haha love following the journey of the Goose :D

how many people here go to Deakin? I drive an ae82 twin cam hatch, only ever seen two sportivos there, silver one and a done up white one. I always park on level 3....

I go Deakin too man, I usually park wherever I can find something in the multi-story car park @ 10am lol.. it's usually chaos. I'll be sure to look out for your ride :D

What about the custom charges issue?

Wasnt this a major issue when the bitracer (i think it was bitracer) that tried to organise an AEM CAI group buy from the states?

Tempted to join this GB however, i may be giving the car away to my younger bro later on this year......

Are there really any benefits installing a CAI on an auto?

Btw who can install these things for cheap??

I got an AEM in mine (auto), you get more delay and lag down low when u get this fitted, but it sounds and feels better in the higher revs. It's only worth it if your going to plant your foot down alot. It's not hard to install it, I took it to professionals who told me it wasn't made for my car. But I fitted it myself, the hard part is taking off and re attaching the front bar. But I think you could find a way through the mud-guard lining.

black stivo tailgating me out of deakin carpark to burwood hwy.. i think he has a TOCA sticker... i was in my integra.

where do u park man, i was in the multi story.

where was this when i needed one? I had to settle with the AEM :(

Hit VTEC in reverse yet?
