Don't think cruising on Easter Sunday would be a good idea, cops will be out in force as it will be double demerits

What the hell is going on with quote tags? Basic replies don't show them, and half the time your post ends up inside the quoted one

EDIT: What the hell is going on with quote tags these days?

Well there's really only one other modified AE10x sedan in Newcastle, and it looks like a pile of crap, so I do tend to stand out more than your average Corolla :P
-
lol unfortunately 90% of Newcastle people drive Bommodores or Falcons Good old Bogan Chariots...
-
This forum needs more Newcastle members :D

Technically US models had the option of a manual aerotop turbo (in quite limited numbers, and for only 1 or 2 years), but that wouldn't be very helpful for RHD Australia...

Lexus owners don't need to see all the nasty mechanical bits, they might get their gloves dirty :P

A Honda

That's not a gain. Max power figures on back-to-back dyno runs can vary by a couple of kw anyway, even with no changes to the car. Also, that max-power indicator thingy is in completely the wrong spot, the peak is clearly about 15km/h to the right

A thermostat is designed to keep the engine running at a particular temperature (and are rated accordingly). Unless outside conditions are either hotter than the surface of the sun or colder than a witch's chesticle, then it will work perfectly fine regardless of the outside temperature. The RADIATOR on the other hand, is dependent on air temperature, and if it is insufficiently sized for the task then it may not be able to bring temperatures down far enough to keep the system in equilibrium, and that is when engines overheat. Still, I can't imagine having to change a radiator on an import to a bigger/thicker one unless you intend on doing some hardcore towing/track-work (which place much larger demands on the cooling circuit). -
And a couple more from the Toymods photoshoot night on the weekend

Pictures tell a thousand words...

Ha, promote that man!

Had to go to work this morning so checked out the HEZ (Hunter Economic Zone) on the way home, it's an "abandoned" (never developed) industrial estate near Kurri Kurri, couple of nice straight roads and no thru-traffic, managed to grab a break in the weather too

It's amazing how much improvement the ear- (sounds louder, must be more powerful), butt- (can feel a bit of a kick, must be more powerful) and wallet- (it's expensive, must be more powerful) dyno can give.... I'm all for K&N filters, but the main benefit from most of them are the slight increase in induction noise (not linked to power at all) and wash/reusability. And of course changing to a brand new anything will give you an improvement over an old/dirty original
-
It's a Camry body, just with a few unique Holden features like the grille and the front/rear lights + garnishes. Still made by Toyota though, just with Holden badges Odd post much? He's not asking about getting a 4WD, and Surfs have a rather bad history themselves when it comes to engines, especially the diseasals.

4x114.3 is the bolt pattern/spacing, no idea on the exact offset but expect it to be about +20 which was common for RWD Toyotas of that era.

Honda?

Honda?

So is it cruise or Greenacre this month?

All TRD Aurions had a build number...
-
What's your point? That's just a Google Image search, I see plenty of fakes and plenty of genuines on there.
-
I've got nothing wrong with copy-style stuff as long as it doesn't try and pass itself off as the real thing ie I had BSA AU229 wheels on the AE102 at one stage, they are a TE37 copy but I made sure that the RAVS VORK stickers weren't fitted. If I'm going to fit something with a TRD/Cusco/APEXi/HKS/whatever sticker on it, I want it to be genuine, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it in the first place, otherwise I'd buy something generic or cheap-branded.
-
That sounds a bit suspicious, even if its not for the Aurion one would think a genuine TRD item would cost a lot more Except for the 86, TRD oil caps are made to suit a wide range of models (there are only 2 basic designs - threaded and bayonet).
