RoadRunner

anyone?

Hey all,

Purchased some sportivo headlights to match my sportivo tail lights that i have installed on my 2007 ATX, they bolt into place but the bumper won't fit. 

Is there a way to make this work? could i purchase a sportivo front bumper and it will fit? or do i have to sell these?

This topic has been on my radar for some time. I have done heaps of Google searches and watched a few worthwhile YouTube videos. Just looked a video by Eric the Car Guy where he demonstrated using a cup of water to de-carbon the engine which was at operating temperature. In his commentary, he said that short distance driving is the culprit for carbon build up and a long distance drive can be the best way to blow out the carbon from the engine. I do recall a YouTube video where various products were compared and the results were not that impressive.

As for fuel, from what I have read the Aurion engines can use 91 RON but are really tuned for 95 RON so you will get benefits with the higher octane fuel. 98 octane is considered to be not such a great economical proposition unless that is what the manufacturer recommends.

.

I sometimes use e10 which is 94 or 95 octane depending where you get it, will sometimes use regular 95. May i ask where you read that they are tuned for 95 octane?

If there was no issue before the HIDs, I would suspect there is an issue with kit or installation.

Had a friend help me and checked the install and angle of the headlights still had the issue so returned the kit and got some white phillips halogen globes and no issue :)

So no one has this issue? or that has installed HID's can just say whether this is normal?

Here are the black spots are these normal when upgrading or do i not have the bulbs in correctly?

Hello as the title says i have installed hid's and there is a black spot just before the car that wasn't there before with  the halogen lights could someone please post a photo
 so i can compare and see if my alignment is out or its normal when upgrading the lights.

Happy to upload a photo if needed to show what i mean if someone could tell me how to do it?

Just thought i would update this thread, was in buying some parts at my local dealership and mentioned my sticky dash to the parts department. Who informed me there has been a  bulletin been released by toyota and as long as your vin number matches any aurion in the last 10 years it gets replaced free, getting mine done in a few weeks when it arrives.

Im so happy to get rid of my sticky dash and have a non-defective one :)

hi all,

I have a Camry 2008 model, i'd like to upgrade the grille to Aurion TRD version.

Is there any of you guys know where to buy ?

And would it fit on my Camry cuz they look quite the same

You can get aftermarket TRD style grills but not sure if they would a camry.

I haven't seen the exhaust for a 2014 Aurion, i recently got the exhaust done on my 2007 Atx got a resonator delete and muffler delete with hotdogs and new tips.

cost me $480 for the lot, sounds great is quite loud and does drone up hills. Might be worth taking there offer and getting the resonator taken out but might drone, guessing they

charged that since they most likely hadn't done one before.

Look at the back of the engine on the driver's side and you'll see a pipe that goes downwards. You'll easily be able to tell if you have the full metal line or the rubber one. Here's some pics for your reference:

Thanks for the helpful pictures, it appears that i still have the rubber hoses ill look into the cost on getting it done. Will replacing them stop the rattle/grinding i hear sometimes on startup or is that something else?

Do i need to make some base pods for the front and back for 6x9's or does it depend on the speaker? any tips to make a pod if i have to?

What do i have to look at in the engine bay to see if i still have the rubber hose?

I never ended up doing it, but found out that the H1R1 is a different size to the hb3 bulbs that the handbook states will fit. On some Aurion models they do have normal HB3 bulbs and sockets instead of the H1R1 bulbs.

Mine doesn't but i find it funny that some do and some don't

Steering wheel lock? they can be bypassed just like a alarm but its a visual deterrent and might just make them go to another car

without one.

Or you could just take the steering wheel out like Mr Bean :P

**BUMP**

Will do for $200 plus postage :)

Hey i have installed the super cat mufflers on rear as well as removed the centre hot dog and sounds great

How much did it cost you all up?

Thanks guys. It was starting to drive me nuts, glad it was only something simple.

Hey Brendo, Just wondering if you could tell me where is the fuel pump and is it easy to get to? mine is having trouble starting if it's not been driven in a day or two and i would like to check to make sure that it's not the same thing :)

Glad that you solved the issue, something to remeber to check if you have isssues starting.

I call dibs on the centre console ( everything in the middle on the seats) and maybe the gear knob depending on the colour :)

If the price is right ;)

I wouldn't mind the centre console (in between the seats) depending on price and where are you in QLD?

If that's not too much of a hassle, please do!

Thanks!

Let me know if you still want the pictures or did you get the taillights off bangtown?

If that's not too much of a hassle, please do!

Thanks!

I will get on it :)

I do think they will fit but maybe someone else could comment and confirm, i do have my orginals that i took out that look just like that there is a small crack on one of them i can post some pictures if you want.
