  1. Lights and accessories specifically? Even interior trim?

    edit: mechanically I am confident parts are available. But I've just got a few things inside that I would like updated/replaced (ie worn seats, fit a gps, bleeding LCD clock ect) 

  2. Hi guys. I've got a 2004 Kluger and wondering if there's any parts from other models that are compatible with my car? Or if there's a resource that I could connect the dots to. 

    Sorry I hope my question makes sense! 

  3. I have a 2011 aurion atx, I've been looking around for a while and can't seem to make my mind up on what rims I want.

    I have a bit of chrome accessories on my car and was thinking i should stick with the chrome and try to find some chrome rims but then again i could buy some silver ones,

    Anyways I've been looking at some 5 spoke rims and yeah just wanna see what everyone rekon I should get. By the way I am still a student so $800 would have to be the max I could spend.

    Thanks!

    Shadow chrome is probably what I would get if I were you.. (im assuming that your car in the pic?). full chrome probably would be too contrasting imo.

    I guess at that budget ($800), you're looking at buying 2nd hand rims or something on special at a tire shop - perhaps not even including rubber - excluding tempe/ozzy; their prices are disgusting.

    Additionally, you can broaden your searche for mazda, ford, nissan wheels too as they (in most cases) share the same PCD.

  4. 18x8.5 +35 will be fine. I am running 19x8.5 +28 as shown above.

    18x9.5 +35 I think you will have start having problems. I know that Whitezr6 has a few mm's between the rim and coils on his above setup (you might also have to get coilovers). The extra 7mm in offset will get you a bit more space here but could push the rim too far towards the guard. I would imagine that you would want to roll the guards and hopefully not but possibly flare the wheel arch.

    9.5 is unknown territory for me, try PM Whitezr6.

    Make sure that Territory rims have the same bolt pattern, Camry/Aurion is 5/114.3.

    Thanks mate. Damn my calculations!

    I might have to keep the rears the same as the front (8.5") to avoid any issues. Last thing I want to do is start fiddling with the guards

  5. lol, thanks mate, all the monitors are purely cosmetic, they are not practical.. only for shows.. etc, i picked up the monitors at a price i couldnt refuse, i love the way it looks now, i have made room to garage my box now also which helps

    Pretty sure you could squeeze in a 50-55" tv in the boot.

    Just sayin'...

    Love it mate!

  6. People just dont get it.

    Had a lady rest her rear drivers door against my passenger door with no hesitation whilst I was in sitting in my car. First I thought it was an accident and that she would immediately tend to it but she continued to put her bags in with the sound of her door intermittently making contact with my car.

    I was ******. Accidents are ok, we've all been guilty of making contact with another car, but she had no intention to avoid contact.

    I finally got out and stood around the front of the cars and ask if she thinks it will buff out. She looked at me, and looked my door, at me and at her door. She responded, 'it's not even touching..', just as she said that her bags fell out hitting her door resulting in a domino effect of her door hitting my car really hard All of a sudden I hear, 'WHAT THE F**K!!??' -- and at this point I'm thinking *Jeebus fking christ, I've approached the wrong woman* . Turns out to be the womans partner.. anyway, the guy was really apologetic and empathetic. He owned a R32GTR and cant stand it this type of stuff. We stood there talking about my Supra (2JZGTE) and his GTR for a good 20minutes and he gave me his details and $300 for the initial costs to repair...

    Ended up costing much less and I gave him the change.

  7. Stone/Grey genuine Aurion car mats in mine. I'm stumped as to why genuine floor mats for the ATX don't fit the Prodigy or Presara models, or vice versa. Sounds suspiciously like BS to me.

    Yeah, I dont think he was reading it properly.

    is Castle Hill Toyota 'THE' place to head to for spares?

  8. Hi guys,

    I bought a 06/2007 Aurion AT-X with 'fake' floor mats. It wasn't genuine Toyota and therefore didnt fit correctly.

    Contacted the Toyota dealer here in Canberra and they said it would cost me $116 to pick up. No dramas there, I just have question about the colours.

    I believe the exterior colour of mine is 'Titan Silver' (which is apparently champagne/beige?) with the grey-ish (stone) interior. My initial guess of what the original floor mat colour would have been was grey/stone; so when I requested that colour the dealer said it would only fit the Prodigy and Presara.

    He said that the only floor mats that will fit the AT-X are black.. which I find hard to believe because it's so contrasting and I doubt that Toyota would make such a decision. lol

    Is this true? What colour floor mats do other ATX owners have?

  9. Very much 'each to their own'.

    I like the uniqueness and 'eccentricism' that the Rukus brings, so I see how these lights are at home on it.

    When I had my LS400 and 'VIP'd' it up, puddle lights were the extent of the 'suitable' undercar lighting, everything else was shape, poke/tuck of the wheels etc.. so you can imagine the horror and critique that would have received from other people who dont understand it. lol

  10. Im not entirely sure of the locking mechanism, but I'm assuming if you're handy with a coat hanger you should be able to get it.. or get road assistance out to do it for you.

    After that I'm pretty sure that you can go in to the Toyota dealer, or get Toyota out - or they subcontract someone - to recode a key for you - presuming you provide them with sufficient identification and proof that it's your car, of course.

  11. It's been a long time between drinks/toyotas.. but now I'm back.

    Since joining here in 2006 I have had 10 cars (literally) but have finally decided to move on from the 'rice racer' scene due to [marriage / wedding / child story]. The missus can't/won't drive manual and I was sick of babying my car/s around town and planning trips ahead of time to avoid speed bumps, driveways and un even surfaces - so I decided to move on and simplify myself.

    I've always been a fan of Toyota's and grew up hearing about it's awesomeness. Needless to say, my Celica, Soarer, Crown, Supra were a pleasure to drive and I can't ever imagine myself owning and tinkering anything but a Japanese made vehicle.

    Anyway, long story short, I bought a 2007 Aurion.

    I never thought I would go down the path of playing with this. It would be my daily, zero worries, economical etc. But in the 3 days of owning this I have already found larger rims, bought an aftermarket HU, looked into handling improvements and maybe perhaps regret choosing one so quickly.

    Fabric interior.. but worst of all, Champagne paint.

    I can't find any modified champagne coloured car to use as inspiration.. if you know of any please post a link :lol:
