  1. Ahh i see. I think black is probably the easiest color to spray so i'll try DIY spray it... if not i'll just sand it down myself, prime it and give it to someone todo it

    I'm planning to just get the rear diffuser, get it wrapped/painted then put it on

  2. yeah same i wouldn't buy it myself but i'm planning to get an exhaust system for my car... Trying to find one that's not too loud though.
    Yeah anytime. Mine aren't loud when idle but when i put my foot down you can hear it. It's not that loud either

  3. Luckily I got on to this guy early, like pretty much the first dealership I got on to. Everyone else I tried was just to compare prices but yeah havent been able to even do that. I think its gonna cost me about 1500ish to get delivered here, then round $500 for paint and fitment. From memory the rear diffuser is around $450 USD. Also using myus.com as a freight fowarder.

    Sounds pretty good. I wanted the rear diffuser and was gonna prime it myself then get it wrapped matte black... or if that's not possible then i might just try DIY spray and fitting, maybe.

    Let me know how it all goes!

    I also thought about the xsp rear bumper and diffuser, looked at a few grey ones and didnt really fancy it. But instead I might go with an entire Aurion rear end.

    As in the stock aurion rear end? or an aftermarket one? I've seen an aftermarket aurion rear diffuser and it looked like the 86's rear diffuser. Looked pretty good but seemed like no one was able to source out where to get it from :\

  4. Ahh sounds good! Thanks for that. Sounds like you went through alot of trouble just to get it haha. I only started my search a few days ago to just find the rear diffuser but it seemed impossible. I did contact 2 places that sold XSP items (no body kits or anything like that though) and no reply lol.

    Nice. Should be looking sweet

  5. Gotta play with the air suspension more to get it to sit properly, the way i want it to

    I'm also trying to source where i can get the XSP camry rear bumper from the states and i plan to DIY side and front splitters

    umm looking for a new set of wheels too but that'll be later on

  6. Car is done. Full AIRREX kit installed! Won't be able to pick it up til tomorow morning though due to being busy with work... Tyrepower north staff took the photos and sent it to me;

  7. Airrex installed in the fronts. Unable to do the rears cause the people who worked on my car previously, tightened the bolts too hard so we couldn't get it off using 'man power'

    I have yet to set the front suspensions properly but once the rears are done, i'll set all 4.

    Must say, the handling has slightly improved with the 2 airrex struts in the fronts :)

    Routing of airline/power cables to engine bay:

    Folded the backseats down, didn't need to take off the back seats luckily since there's plenty of space to feed the wires through

    post-34303-0-04895900-1407326374_thumb.j

    removed kick panels from back passenger side

    post-34303-0-56959700-1407326387_thumb.j

    removed kick panels from front passenger side, fed the wires behind the panel of where the seatbelt hangs

    post-34303-0-99262600-1407326648_thumb.j

    Located where the firewall to engine bay was

    post-34303-0-67013100-1407326747_thumb.j

    Firewall was pretty easy to get to. Removed the groumet and drilled a small hole into it to feed the wires through.

    NOTE: Pictures only show power cables and no airlines. I did the airlines after (exactly the same way i did the power cables) i took these photos.

    I always forget to take photos when i do **** like this so i apologise for the poor effort but... this gives you a rough idea...

  9. niice

    would you be going to toyota winterfest coming in 3 weeks ?

    Not too sure if i will but if i do then i'll let you guys know.

    Update on the install: We did all the power and airline routing, covered it all up neatly and jacked up the car to install the Air Struts BUT after taking out one of the front BC coilovers and picking up the AIRREX air strut, we noticed the front air struts were missing a sway bar link... So today's session failed. Had to reinstall the Bc coilovers and contact AirRex australia about it.

    They said the air struts shouldve came with an integrated sway bar link or a clamp on one and they're going to try resolve the problem ASAP.

  10. got lowered finally

    with -3 degrees camber on the back

    need to get camber bolts to fix that dont want too much camber wear

    very nice.

    Gees -3 camber? How much did you drop it by?

    Camber bolts will only bring it to about -2 to -1.5 camber but sadly there's no adjustable control arms for our model to fix it completely
