I bought the TRD front bar from Castle Hill Toyota

Do you know if there are any preouts on the new L3 unit?

I am amazed no one commented on the green calipers on this machine

Not only does it look better, but it's miles better! operation is in another league. simply as to use and reliable as the rest of the car now! which you could not say about th Bluetooth or sat nav operation in previous models I agree, the bluetooth on the previous models wasnt as good as it should have been. We have both the full size and the Follow Me II the bluetooth in the full size was excellent but the Follow Me II had a few compatibility issues.

I would guess so as there was no difference between models for the TRD one, but check with your local parts dept to be sure

Cleaning out the garage - Free to a good home is my original ZRE hatch rear muffler, it is still in good condition I only took it off to replace it with a TRD unit.

Unfortunately I have been unable to off load these on ebay and they take up too much room in the garage, so for anyone who is interested my original springs and sway bar from my ZRE Corolla hatch are available for free just contact me to sort out a time to pick them up. There is nothing wrong with them I just changed them over with the TRD items and so have no need for them.

Don't confuse with Avensis and Avensis Europe, they are completely different car, just the name is the same In Europe the Avensis was a range - Sedan, Wagon and Verso we only got the Avensis Verso in Australia. I presume Verso means people mover. Disturbingly the new Verso which was previously referred to as the Corolla Verso is basically a 7 seat Corolla!!!

Does anyone know anything of the sat nav audio unit that will replace the Folow Me II headunit? (The new full size in dash Sat Nav unit is shown in the new HiLux Interior )

A couple more items for sale Corolla exhaust and springs and Camry handbrake and Rear Number Plate Garnish

We got the Toyota one installed in ours (2009 Tarago) when we had the full size Sat Nav installed, the view is perfect in daylight and nighttime (the reverse lights do a good job of lighting the area). There are no guidelines on it like some of the aftermarket ones (I am not sure if this is a camera or headunit feature). The current Tarago's have a punchout/cutout section in the rear door garnish to mount the camera. As to price I don't know and don't want to (we spent a lot of money that day) On a seperate note there are some wireless units around but I don't know how well they work or install

McTarago (or McEstima in other markets)

Getting towards the end of the ebay auctions for these if anyone is interested

Old Wald

I had been looking to get the full TRD exhaust for mine but that Wald twin exhaust has got me thinking

This is what I am talking about

Current Modellista

This something that has been done in the Corolla forum and whilst searching for JDM parts for my GSR50 I have come accross a few body kits for the Tarago/Estima. Feel free to post images of any model (there's not enough of us to make it model specific). Any real world pictures would be greatly appreciated Veilside 03-06 Current Wald

Details of the parts are now available (at least in Japanese) Google Translation and in case something is lost in translation Original Japanese Link

you and me both mate.. i want that and the modellista rear spats to give my girl a prettier rear. Spats? You mean the rear spoiler? I googled spats and wiki came up with detachable wheel covering found on classic American cars. I don't think that's what you meant. lol I mean these: Spats used to be the term for the hard mudflaps. Many years ago (in the 90's)the likes of Falcons and Commodores had the choice of either semi-floppy rubber mudflaps (that hardened up over time) which they caled "mudflaps" and semi-hard plastic mudflaps which were called "mud spats"

They are a "standard" TRD item that's been available for a while, I actually have a set on my ZRE they basically sit over the factory plastic ones, though at over $300 with no lights they are not cheap but do look good TRD Scuff Plates

Wald IS F

TRD treatment of IS-F
