Bruster

hi defyant, i was driving by Hurstville and im pretty sure i spotted your car parked not far from Dan Murphys. this was last saturday i think, car is looking good...i really like the rims and the lowered stance. do you have pedders? cheers Bru

If you wanna lower it and concerned about scrapping, here's a win win. Fix the driveway! i wish it was that simple, unfortunately its council area i even looked into getting little metal ramps but can not find it anywhere. i also experimented with a large piece of wood but apparently i can not put anything there that blocks the storm water from flowing....according to my neighbour...im sure it was a hint not to do it when he approached me. the only other option is coilovers because i can adjust the height but that has to wait until warranty runs out.

Well lowering it should be next but im concerned with the ride quality and scrapping in the driveway. im quite happy with the look so far, maybe HID kit next... cheap mod...

LINK: BRUSTER'S AURION its been a while, but i have done Window Tint and obviously the wheels were done late last year but now with better pictures. im unsure if i should lower it, my driveway is already a little steep.

ok cool, good to know for the future. at the time i owned my rav, i didnt find any info and dealers werent very helpful cheers Bru

true, maybe i was not as direct as you. but the answer is there on the fuel cap, any car that can take E10 will take any other fuel. unleaded or premium mixed or not. i would be worried, if my fuel cap mentioned Premium only and i mixed it with E10..

are you from the USA? because i dont recall being a TSB for this fix here in australia. and i dont think they call it a TSB be here..but i could be wrong.

there is alot of threads about E10 but if you look in your fuel cap it states the car can take E10 fuel. its not bad but then again its good either. its your personal preference whih one you take.

i too have this noise, its faint but annoying, im pretty sure its inside the seatbelt area. i mentioned to toyota last service amongs many others but as usual, they cant hear or see anything unless its your credit card or cash

Hi Mate, i got rid of my Rav4 for that reason... if you see my posts im now own ZR6 Aurion. they refurbished my transmission in December 2009 and the noise disappeared for about a month and then came back. thats when i realised this problem was never going to be fixed and after having so many issues with Toyota i decided to trade up. my Aurion has been really good so far, its been exactly a year now... My advice to you is to keep bugging them, i took mine to Fergusons Toyota and from there Fergusons towed my car to Terry Shields Toyota in Parramatta which apparently is where the transmisson specialist are. if you are in Sydney give them a call or a visit, you mayve chance withem considering they at least made an effort to fix my car. but i totally understand your frustration. Cheers Bru

i too enquired about this for my wifes car. the finance is over 4 years only, therefore the monthly repayments are the same or similar to normal finance over a period of 5 years with a lower baloon payment. the 2.9% only applies to new cars only and not demos. if you buy now chances are its a 2010 model. the other thing is they will try and get full price for the car...too not much bargain power considering you getting 2.9% its only the base model Accent, not the conquest or ZR. this i what i experienced...in december. my suggestion is , go to the auctions get the same model for about $17000 and its only 1 year old with low kms. you still have warranty left over and save close to $10000 from RRP price.

A friend of mine in Canberra has put the Speedy Fin 20inch on a white Aurion. the wheels have the blue colour surrounds. it looks good and the 7.5 width ensures you will get minimal if any rubbing depending on the offset you get. My opinion is the Kappas are desirable wheels, they sell well on Ebay and they fit Corollas and Camry's as well. the Speedy Fins is more of a look at me type of wheel and ride quality will suffer. I dont know your situation, but if i had the money i would go for Kappas 18inch just for comfort and if i decide to sell down track im sure i would not have any trouble offloading them. my 2 cents

damn im a few months late with this reply. went good thanks, most of the scratches came off, looks almost like new. i now put pepper on the floor surrounding the front area of the car, so the cat wont come back. apparently Cats hate pepper.... so far it worked. i know, i know sounds funny...but annoying.

i'd like to know which dealers in Sydney have replaced your shaft under warranty. i have gone to two dealers and both said nothing wrong. however i went to NRMA service and i also got the guy who installed my wheels to have a quick look and both said shafts may need replacing... so i have 2 independents telling me difference answers to what toyota dealers are telling me. what do i do? i hear the noise over incline bumps, even when turning the steering right to left the steering feels loose and noisy. my friend who owns a standard Aurion does not seem to be affected so in know there is something wrong for sure.

Hi Guys, As anyone here attended this years Motor Show? i did yesterday evening after work and i have to say i was let down. after 2 years without a motor show in Sydney i was expecting Car Manufacturers to come out with all guns blazing. turns out this years motor show was just like going to a Dealership, except you have to pay for this one. Cons: * Hardly any Concepts * Cars on show most of them already on the road or about to be replaced. * BMW, Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Fiat,Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler,Ferrari, Aston Martin, Saab.... all missing in Action Pros: * Lexus LF-A * Audi stand... love the cars, quality...but way too expensive * Range Rover new 2 door 4wd what are your thoughts, to people you have attended the motorshow this year??
