JDM101

Mods can move this if they feel necessary.. and sorry Toyota Aus.. but I kinda got over having to pay the premium :P ... Get part numbers from http://www.toyodiy.com/ Plug those part numbers into http://www.amayama.com/ Get approximate delivery dates and pricing ... always on time, quick to respond and keep you update with your deliveries.. How do I know? here's how: I've replaced nearly every clip/screw in my interior using this service.. and I'm just working through the suspension bits now..

I've done a search and couldn't find any solid reference to my question - do excuse me incase I missed a thread as I'm new on here. I've recently purchased an Estima 04' via Prestige Motor Sport (personally chose the car, where it was complied etc).. Love the car, perfect for the growing family and the quality JDM build. I don't intend on changing the factory headunit.. I know I can't get it to work here for Sat nav but its ok .. I have a digital tv tuner I purchased via a friend who has tested it in his own car and confirms it works well. So I'll use that via the VTR cable and plug it in to the standard HU through the unit under the passenger seat. My only question is - has anyone got the front camera working ? or know where you can activate it from? The only time I saw the front cameras work was when I picked it up .. after that day they seem to have stopped showing up. The reverse camera works fine but the front don't show up.. Last qs. - anyone recommend an aftermarket headunit where I could utilize the oem front cameras to work in conjunction to the rear one?? Thanks!

I'd like to share this brilliant product for all those nasty wheel stains (grime, brake dust, **** accumulated on the inside of your wheels over the years). Been doing a fair bit of trolling and was advised about it on detailparadise.com.au - Alot of the stuff off the shelf will suit for new cars or wheels that were never TOO dirty to begin with.. but with years of crap on your wheels, that softcore stuff just does'nt cut it... I tried Sonax Wheel Cleaner: *gasp* wait is it actually working?? ah no.. little bit cleaner but not 100% SO back to trolling.. ok so lets give this a try, it's got Oxalic acid in it (not that I actually looked it up, but being acidic it should be hard core!) same wheel from Sonax cleaning attempt: *drum roll* holy feckkk!! actually WORKS! now if you'd like to get this for your wheels - then click here. Enjoy

Nice score - it's funny that for the majority of 'car enthusiasts' the current generation producing.. it's actually the cars maintained by older ladies that we want to buy if in the market lol.... Not sure you're aware but if you ever need OEM parts for it .. get the part numbers from: step1) http://www.toyodiy.com/ and then plug those numbers into step2) http://www.amayama.com/ step 1 + step 2 = success.. and very affordable too :)

don't by shy if you see me out..

I used to be on this forum a long time back when I was new to the community and the car modding game itself. It's been quite sometime now, have been lucky enough to meet some genuine people in the crowd of cybertrolls and what not :) So here's my take on doing up a JZX100... This will be a lengthy to the point thread so I'll try get through it all... then: From: To: I didn't like the Series 1 bar: comparison: First dyno run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7YeTkNO0eHU Got rid of the HKS canon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AAvj6AB32Mg Had a change of mood so decided on some other mods (besides cleaning it) Auto had open wheeler 3.9 ratio, got it a torsen from a manual (3.7 which I still have to change to 3.9) While I waited on more parts, went to the drags: lol.. results: Turbo coated: getting there.. random interior shot for no reason lol some brakes: did a service: oh yeah it had a cooler install too: I went to the drags again, only one run - untuned, just to see what it does: most recently: results:
