There is only 2 options at the moment for springs in the Aurions and that is king lows or pedders. the trend with the other owners is to go with the pedders.

Wait 6 months or whatever until Lovells or Whiteline bring out a spring and buy those instead?

Looks like an AE101/102 to me, key giveaways are the side profile, aerial and side mirrors

Makes me ashamed to own one actually.....

here's the path i've taken ....... another approach for u ;) ;) ;) ;) ..... plenty of room for ur SRi

You used a newspaper as a battery? Interesting concept

Seriously, what battery is that? I'm looking at getting a new one for the 102 soon, smaller is better because of the CAI but I still want decent power, if I stayed at current size I'd be looking at a Yellowtop, but smaller would definitely be preferable

i know how the system works, just asking can i remove the valve and run my hoses derectly to a breather can with out a vaceum, but im thinking this wouldnt be very effective

Considering the vacuum is the thing providing the suckage, bypassing the manifold and just plumbing it to a catch can will do jack all. Something has to suck the vapour out of the cam cover, it isn't just going to go by itself.

My fuel light will go on and off around 35 litres when on a steep hill or going around corners, I've managed to work out that the gauge sender is in the front left side of the tank, as the gauge goes up when facing downhill, and when going around roundabouts really fast.

Will come on solidly at about 40L, and the pump'll starve at about 45 litres on corners or steep uphills. Most I've ever put in is 47L, for a 50L tank that's cutting it _very_ fine.

If you get 10kw at the weels from just the intake and exhaust on a 7afe you're doing VERY well indeed. the hed itself doesnt flow very well.

Depending on which dyno results you take, I got exactly that. The exhaust is a big restriction (intake not so much), especially where the intermediate pipe goes over the crossmember before the cat.

First dyno (SAS in Sydney on an absolute stinker of a day, 40 degree intake temps, in Shootout mode) = 67.8kW

Second dyno (Hunter All-Wheel Dyno in Newcastle, normal intake temps) = 61kw

Both of those runs were on mechanically identical cars, just on different days in different weather on different dynos

Third dyno (SAS again, on a nice cool day), with full exhaust but still stock intake = 71.1kw

Add in the cold air intake, and timing adjustment to suit the 98 fuel, and 75 could be possible.

problem is...

Rudd also used the same tactic over the old Howard and got into power...

also so far alot of ppl reckons nothing has change either.... (you could argue over the stimulus package that they were forced to act...)

US mind u has alot more problems on all levels than Australia... I'm just hope that by the end of his 2 terms... (given Bush was...) he will leave US in a better economical shape...

Remember that Australian Labor is just about as conservative as the Liberals (who aren't liberal at all)...at least the controlling faction are. There are huge differences between the American Democrats and Republicans (the Democrats are quite liberal) and the Republicans are very conservative.

there are 2 types of write off's. Economic and statutory.

Economic is where the cost to repair the vehicle outweighs the market or insured value of the car. A good indicator is airbags, basically if the airbag goes off, the car will be written off for economic reasons. These cars can be purchased to repair or for parts.

Hence the term "repairable write-off"

I've been told I look like David Arquette, on more than a few occasions

ok i lie its n ae102 RV but now its technically a ae101 as it has a 4age (1.6l) engine in it easy conversion only had to change 2 engine mounts 1 for the engine the other for the ze5sp lsd (big box i put in to handle the power)

Oh, and all the wiring you'd have to do too. And the GZE gearbox (E-series) is a waste for a n/a 4A, the ratios are all wrong. And saying you need it for the power is a laugh, since 1) it's torque that kills gearboxes, not power, and 2) whats wrong with the C52, C56 or C160 that came standard behind the 20Vs?

Im just glad i got the 7afe 1.8l engine cos their the best of their kind. instead of the 4afe and 7afe 1.4 & 1.6l models which are common

Only engines which came out in the AE10x in Australia were the 4AFE and 7AFE, and most of the models were 7A powered. CSi was 4AFE, Conquest/CSX/RV/Ultima were all 7AFE. And there's no such thing as a 1.4L 4AFE, there's a 1.4L 6AFC carby twincam model in the povo-spec AE92s, but that was it.

umm to my knowledge, any modification done to a motor while on your P's in NSW is not allowed. By modification, means anything aftermarker, other than things like replacement parts, panel filters, sparkplugs/leads, oils, things like that.

Any engine modification that increases performance isn't allowed, but most CAIs/SRIs don't increase performance anyway, so it's a bit of a moot point. Would probably come down to how ****ty a day the rozzer who pulled you over is having.

u'd also have to look @ the range end-2-end ..... chances are if ur in the market for a hyped up rolla and prepared to spend the cash u might b better off checking into a lexus dealer .......

thats just the way it is in big business

Supposedly there's a FWD mini-Lexus due to come out in 2010, based on the Prius platform, so maybe that's why, so they don't have a conflict.

An -F version of that could be quite tasty, most likely based around a 2GR or 4GR

Camry 5 stud, Corolla 4 stud

Unless it's a new Corolla, then it's 5-stud too.

i've seen the plate "1" on an older e class

There's a BMW X5 that lives down the road from me with the plate "V". Always forget to take a photo.

And a couple of doors down there's the number plate ATOYOT, so in the mirror it says TOYOTA. And it's on *drum roll please*

*more drums*

*keep going*

A Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhkayyyyyy.......

13B, hands down :)

I've seen a few 4A-GTZE's going around, you should grab one of those. Mate it up to a W57 box and she'll be awesome :)

Don't make posts like this, you're not making it obvious enough to the n00bs that you're not being serious.

And if you are being serious, you have major problems.

Yes, of course I'm going to suggest RWD engines/boxes into a FWD car I would have thought almost everybody would have immediately taken the post as a joke, but I guess not.

You'd be surprised the number of people who don't have a clue about their cars.....

And remember that the internet is a terrible medium for sarcasm.

It may seem like a stupid question, but did you remember to plug the aerial back in?

guys its pretty simple ...... they are in the complete business of purely selling cars ..... y invest in such a small market i.e. hot hatches when u can own the wider hatch market ...... all down to s.

Exactly. The only reason for the TRD Aurion is because Toyota needed to stamp some extra credibility on their "new" car (I know it's still just a Camry, if you change a name you change a car. Look at the Laser/Focus, or Pulsar/Tiida). The Aurion is supposed to be going up against the Commodore and Falcon, both of which have hugely successful performance models. The Corolla is a tried and true formula, in a segment where the real performance cars (Focus XR5, Renaultsport Clio, Golf GTi, Astra Turbo/VXR) are very low volume sellers and/or really expensive, and the volume sellers are nothing more than tarted-up base models with little to no extra performance.

lols thanks, hsc is rigged damn scaling bs

The scaling didn't bother me when I did it......then again I did get 92.95, and went to a selective high school. My g/f's school got owned hard by the scaling, I think over half the year got under 50.

92.95!?!?! Mofo! less than 8% of people your age where more studious than you. you must feel so alone. hehehe

That was with a pretty crappy Geography and Chemistry finals, should have done better. At my school, probably half the year got in the 90s, and 100s are not unknown (you get one every couple of years)

It's been done but we'll probably never see it down under...

Toyota Blade Master G

there already is a 3.5 v6 rolla in japan its call something like a willies v or s but it exists

It's called the Blade Master G (nothing like Willies, no idea where you got that from), and it has already been mentioned in this thread at least twice.

n when if trd releases a trd corolla it will either have v6 2.4 or turbo or s/c 1.8 all i do know to be trd it has to produce atleaset 40kw more power (dont ask how i know this)

How do you know this? Sounds like rumours and heresay and bull**** to me, any evidence to back it up? And to be a TRD product they just need to brand it as such - there have been only two TRD models so far, both of which use the same supercharger on the engine family, so of course the gains are similar and both around 40-50kw

k ill look it up tomorrow for now u can be right u might stay right find out tomorrow if u r right thank u for the info

Care to enlighten us on what you found?

Please tell me you're going to get decent wheels in the very very very near future........14" hubcaps do NOT suit lowered AE101/102s, you need at least 16s or even 17s to even go close to filling the front guards.

Remember, any mark higher than a pass is wasted effort :P
