  1. haha yeah he did a good job on the car. Happy with the outcome! lovin' it
  2. View from afar You guys get the jist of it
  3. guess it's the price i pay for being lazy... hahah
  4. the same one? I got mine off ebay. Too lazy to make a membership at costco + travel there. Bought it this morning and was delivered few hours later
  5. Finally purchased a low profile jack; ARCAN low profile hybrid aluminium/steel trolley jack. Got it for $180. Now i can finally jack my car up without having to drive on planks of wood. Love it :)
  6. Anyone know where i can get low profile jacks for a decent price? I know costco used to sell it but from what i've heard, they don't anymore. I found an Arcan low profile 1800kg aluminium hyrbrid jack for $240-250 on gumtree. Thanks.
  7. hahaha i can't wait for the airrex to arrive! Most likely will try DIY install... Can't seem to find anywhere close that'll do the install. Can't help you there with the bonnet bra. Other news: Wheels are getting repowdercoated Gloss white. Should have it done by wednsday/thursday. RAYS genuine stickers came in on friday and planning to get my roof wrapped matte black in a week or 2 :)
  8. If none of the things the guy is doing in the video, works for you, then you have a problem with the buttons/connections
  9. Thanks buddy :) I'm thinking of DIY install because all the places that do installs for air suspension are over an hour drive from here Yeah you'll have to let them know for a more specific quote. Yep it's due to how the car rrears are designed. The front has a independent macpherson strut, while the back is a dual link. All coils/air suspension offer rear tops but not for our cars because the rears are dual link struts. We do however, get the front camber tops
  10. Anyone know where i can get air suspension installed in Melbourne? preferably around west side or surroundings? I know a few places around dandenong that do it but that's way too far for me lol
  11. Yeah I'm pretty sure it's only the fronts. I even asked around to see if I could get a custom rear top but they all said it can't be done because the rear isn't a Macpherson strut
  12. Yeah hahaha... they won heaps that's all i know. I won from the last 22million lottery but only won 10k and me and 2 others just split it since we put money together to get the ticket performance should the same... or atleast not much of a difference from what i've heard If you purchase coils for the SE then you won't be able to use it unless you can somehow alter it. If you buy the coils for the LE, it will fit with no issues BUT you will have to use OEM top hat/strut. It's just the way our car was built. Even with the airREX kit i bought, they said i can't a rear top mount cause our car isn't designed to be able to use it... sadly
  13. Yeah I know. Wish I was part of that... Oh the SE struts and springs are different to all the other 7th gen models. Our one is made exactly like the Camry LE so that's why when I bought BC coilovers, BC asked me to measure the bolt spacings and bolt sizes cause there are 2 different coilovers for our cars. One is specifically for the SE and the other for the LE, which is technically for ours aswell. I got the caps for half price at 115$ off a Facebook page that has private sellers selling genuine wheels only. Yeah for our cars because it's not a McPherson type strut, we have to use our OEM top hat/strut for the rears and can't use the pillow top that ussually comes with the coils
  14. Just an update; Bought genuine RAYS centrecaps for my wheels. 2 sets of 2. Now just waiting for genuine stickers to come in and re-powdercoating the wheels gloss WHITE (originally wanted gloss graphite grey but thought i'd keep with the white on white) Also... Just purchased airREX air suspension. Originally wanted to go with airtekk since they're pretty cheap but they only have a kit for the Camry SE. Ended up spending alot more than i intended... $4,750. But after hitting the lottery on a shared ticket with co workers, (10k win split between 3) I thought might aswell :)
  15. Sorry that was the measurements from the sideskirts. Fronts and rear i'm not sure but i changed my mufflers so the rears are lower than when i had the stock mufflers. It's really up to you. I know people who go as low as 9mm-10mm. Some people take pride in their car's scraping over obstacles due to being too low... I got it installed because I didn't have spring compressors and wasn't sure what todo with the rear installation since you had to use OEM struts
  16. On stock wheels my car is about 130mm off the ground, but my muffler is about 120mm. Currently 140mm off ground with my te37s and barely have any problems with speed bumps if I drive at low speed (what you're supposed todo anyway lol) But with my stock wheels, depending on how big the speed bump, I would have to go over a speed bump on an angle. Ussually that would eliminate any scraping You could go even lower than my car and still probably wouldn't have trouble getting over speed bumps if you know how to properly
  17. Yeah kits aren't too bad over there. These contain shocks awell as upper struts for the fronts. I think you'll have to use OEM rear struts like with the coilovers. Not sure but i'll ask. Install should probably be about 300-500 i reckon
  18. Coils seem to be in good condition. Only had them on for 5500km (Since start of January this year). If i do end up getting bags, then i can give a better description on the condition. Spring rates: 6/3kg Yeah the ones i'm looking at, Airtekk VP kit, are roughly 2800AUD + est 350AUD delivery from the states
  19. Just wondering if I sell my BC coilovers, would anyone be interested in buying them? Would sell for 800 ono. Thinking of making the switch to bags
  20. Hmm i don't exactly remember to be honest. Better be safe than sorry and not install the seats :\ haha i worked on dashboard and the doors on the current model before i left Toyota, and the doors are exactly the same. The only difference is the trims (which are just mainly clipped on) and the wiring for the locks and power windows since some cars don't come with smart locks and etc When it comes to your model, my memory is abit fuzzy so i can't exactly remember
  21. Hey Tony. I used to work at Toyota and the 2008 models + the current models of camry and aurions, both use the same body. the only difference is the front and rear treatments (grills, bumpers lights etc). As for the interior, i think the aurion door trims should fit the camry door trims, though i can't exactly remember. I know the current Aurion's door trims will fit into the current model Camrys though. Front seats and rear seats should be no problem. Don't take my word on this though, It's been a few years since i've worked on a 2007-2009 camry. EDIT: The dashboard trims are different from the aurion and the camry just an fyi!

    Window tinting

    My dad's car has 35% tint all around. He has GPS and dimming rear vision mirror. From what i've experienced, it doesn't affect the GPS signals. I've yet to drive his car at night though... I have 20% tints on all my back passenger windows and rear window. From the outside, you can barely see inside of my car but. i can still see through them clearly from inside. So my guess is there won't be much difference to having both tint and dimming rear vision mirror
  23. hiwtf

    Window tinting

    I think it depends on what kind of tint is used. There is a tint that contains metals, which may interupt radio frequencies but most places don't use that kind of tint. That's what i've heard anyway
  24. Same thing happened with my iphone cable. Kept having to wiggling it for it to work. The problem for me was the usb cable though. I bought a new cable and now it works fine. Have you tried using a different USB stick?
