In the real world, these cars are slow. They are not a performance car.

Just drive and enjoy & look after it, and it will reward you with years of reliability.

Nice work mate

I had all my pulleys & belt done by my mechanic, it didnt look like a fun job.

They did give me back my new tensioner assembly, stating that only the pulley from it was needed, as the rest required water pump removal i believe?

Good luck. They were plentiful on ebay a couple years back, now nothing.

Both of mine are cracked from attempting to open & reseal them, after the factory adhesive deteriorated.

Manufacturing has changed last couple years. NOS parts are disappearing fast.

Ive seen a few people fit the 19" kluger rims. However, from what i can see, the kluger (7.5" wide) wheel offset is 30mm, and aurion (7" wide) wheel is 45mm, so if my maths is correct, the kluger wheel will poke out 27mm more than the factory sportivo. I cannot tell you if that will cause issues or not sorry. The tyre size you would run for this wheel is 225/40/19 or 235/40/19

I ended up fitting 18" CHR rims which are 7" wide, with a 50mm offset. Perfect fit. I originally used 235/45/18" to keep the exact same rolling diameter as factory, but with mine being on lowered springs, i found 225/45/18 eliminated tyre scrubbing

Im not sure how people are using aftermarket rims because ive found the toyota uses an extended shank style wheel nut with shorter studs. When trying on other rims i found conical wheel nuts didnt have enough turns to safely grip the thread on the studs

Toyota were quick to find that the previous mechanic had fitted one of the wheel sensors "incorrectly"

Glad was fixed, but at my expense left a bad taste in my mouth 🤦‍♂️

No, car was stationary. So my regular mechanic spent the day checking it out to no avail unfortunately 😩

Will book it into toyota

So not long ago had both cv shafts replaced & car was driving beautifully again.

Washed the car couple days ago, and by coincidence (?) when slowing down to a stop, at about 5kph the brake pedal violently shudders for a couple seconds as the car finally stops, almost feels like traction control kicking in

Thinking it might be a failing transmission, I downshifted shifted manually into first & the noise still appeared, so I'm leaning towards the abs system, sensor etc but I know nothing of this. 

At least its not a nissan TB where u have to do a reset after moving the valve 

Sounds like the rear mufflers u had fitted are too quiet. In that case get the centre resonator removed & replace 3rd cat with a cheap 100cpsi version. 

Doing this will let a bit more white noise though, creating a throaty burble.

Deleting the resonator on a stock exhaust wont do much. I wouldnt fit a hot dog

Yeah the plug from the wrecked car that goes to the passenger seat will make it easier to wire up

Ive put zr6 power seats in my touring. Getting the wiring plug for the passenger side will make things easier. 

Upper grille & foglight surrounds done. Looks sleeker & more modern i reckon. Photos dont reveal much with this crap weather.

on ebay, the surrounds looked like they might have brackets which are screwed on? I wasnt sure so i did it the hard way haha. Will take a better pic another time. I think it looks much nicer. Honestly thinking about doin the grille as well. Might need to photoshop first... 

 😠 edit

Welcome mate 👍

Paint has nice depth & shine for such a light colour, & living out in the sun.. Mothers cleaner wax was applied 1 month ago, & bowdens wax wash weekly. 

I found this video interesting on bleeding the 2grfe after messing with the coolant for whatever reason. The spill free kits are $50 on eBay

Cold weather will affect the voltage. Driving the car wont charge it fully so get a trickle charger onto it.

I couldn't see any way of manually adjusting height, so i tried the dpdt switches again, but this time instead of piggybacking into the circuit, i cut the motor plugs away from the factory loom....... And bingo, it all works, and i can adjust downwards without wires melting. 

Obviously a replacement seat switch is needed, but this will do in the meantime 

 Thanks to the following page i was able to understand how to wire the switches up to the reverse polarity motors.

Something thats bugged me about my wrecker sourced powered zr6 seats is the driver seat height adjustment has never worked.. 

Have narrowed it down to a faulty switch assembly which is near impossible to source without buying the whole seat. Using my own dpdt switch & running power straight to the motors only made it go up to max height & now i have a bigger problem haha. 

Surely theres a way to manually adjust it but after a quick inspection it looks pretty daunting. Any ideas? 

Thanks 👍

New dash is in. The color is dark Grey, so contrasts a little against the charcoal door trims, & the fitment behind the clock isnt the best, but overall I'm really happy & there's zero noises coming from the dash for once 😂 oh and also had the oil cooler hose recall done at the same time... Winning 👍👍👍

The ability to quickly disable the TC was removed by Toyota, to prevent fully sick hectic uleh's unleashing the full 200kw of savagery on the poor innocent bitumen. 

Good luck with retaining factory camera, another member here bought the correct harness and still couldn't make it work. Much easier to just bite the bullet & spend 50 bucks on aftermarket cam & run wiring through the car..
