Hi Team,
Just wanting to shed some light on the 1990-2000 model TCR10 tarago keyless entry and chip key, information doesn't seem to be readily available.
Looking at purchasing a 99 tcr10 but only has 1 genuine key, which looks like it has an immobilizer chip in the key fob, Are they easy to replace?
Only saw one guy selling a generic Toyota "97-02" key with unprogrammed chips on ebay for $40, are these the same for all Toyota keys of the same era?The other thing is the keyless entry remote, there is alarm and security light, but it never turns on according to the current owner.
Haven't found any luck with this, did some searching but doesn't seem to have much if any info the the remote.
Anyone got a picture of one or part number? easy to program?Thanks

I too am in the same boat, I was looking for a Tarago but found the Estima had way more factory options than the overpriced Tarago's with over 300,000kms...
Just watch out for those hybrid or diesel models (mk1?) as servicing could be troublesome
Also some of the notifications and buttons might be in Japanese, the estima hybrid I had a look at had a touch screen in Japanese
side note: why not go to a car dealer and have a look at one?
Ie. Pickles or Manheim auctions who display the cars out in a yard like most car dealers
Have a look and sus it out, not obligated to purchase...

This is why we can't have nice things. :(

Response is noticeable over 4000rpm with a 2.75" inguard CAI and 2.25" exhaust with high flow cat and magnaflow turbo muffler on my old 1zzfe powered zze122r.
The engine revved freely to redline, but not sure if it made more power, maybe 1-2HP?
When the car on the market, the CAI was removed to make the car more stock, anyways drove the car around for afew days and the revs bog down enough to notice around 4000-redline consistantly compared to the CAI.
At the end of the day, better off getting a sportivo or something engineered for more performance. ie:
-
normally get 500-550 out of a full tank of for a 1zzfe city driving, but it didn't matter if i used 91 or 98 so i just use 91.

Shipping was quote at $120 for the coilovers.
Will put the items on ebay at lower price.
-
Not sure on the spring rates, will remove them on the weekend and find out the part number.
And have updated they are the early V1 spec coilovers
-
yeah when they are out of the car, 10-15kg per corner, maybe more
-
postage will be alot

Fawkner tyres charged about $150 for fitting of 4 springs on my lancer cc gsr, but that was like 2-3 years ago

Id go the bendix for daily driving, I found my greenstuff on the ae86 too inconsistent when cold, but excellent when heated up and hot but they tend to give of dust.

Base seat
Sport seat
Confirming seats are different, my acsent being the pov pack 2002 version it even had 14" steel wheels from factory!
Ended up buying one from a wrecker, choose these seats over a recaro LN seat, even when the LN is a good daily seat i tend to find my balls get squashed over time :S
The more the bucket the more the squash... Bride brix? never again in a daily...

Have a similar issue, went to 5w30 and burnt most of it until the oil pressure light turned on around corners in 2 weeks!
went to 15w40 and so far so good.

Can confirm those ebay strut braces are rubbish.
Bought a whole 4 brace kit (front/rear strut and crossmember brace) for $75 off ebay for a lancer cc gsr, bargin? hell no.
They have so much flex I can go to bunnings and use a 2x4 plank of wood that would give more rigidity than these strut braces.
-
update:
just had a seat in my friends zze levin and the seats are way more firm than the acsent
unless the prev prev owner was some huge person :S
-
blocked of a similar nipple on the cai as well, but whats it for?
-
would be good if the postage want $425usd
-
factory paint protection, good for the 1st few years but then this happens after awhile or if the car is cut and polished alot.
is that 1800 for just the mirrors and wings?
-
The st141's weight under 1100kg so the 4agze 'should' be enough.
But if you are going to pay people to do the work, its going to cost over 2k.
ie. 4A Engine/Gearbox crossmembers need to be changed to suit 2S
Tailshaft if you are going to use a T50 (better of with the W series)
If using the W series, will need custom bellhousing/clutch setup to the 4A block
Fuel system, ECU and loom
a 3S swap may be more affordable or 7M maybe?
ACR30 Tarago middle row bench seats to Estima 60/40 split seats?
in Tarago Club
Posted · Edited by rthy
update
Hi Team,
Seeing if anyone has successfully swapped from Tarago 2 channel bench seat to a 4 channel 40/60split seats?
The middle row in the tarago is abit wonky and they all seem to be this way.
The Estima have smaller seats and probably better design/less wear and tear on the rails
Did some googling, it appears the outter channel part numbers are the same.
Need to find out of the tarago has space for the 2 middle channels to bolt into.
Thx
