I don't mind the new front end on the Sportivos, it looks quite good. Not a big fan of the clear rear lights though.

niiiiice, sorry, i forgot to look in your sig as to what you have done to yours!!!!! hahaha.

I have lowered mine with pedders as well, though I haven't got a camber kit, but knowing that yours is okay is a bit of piece of mind if I decide to get the 20's. I might have to get the camber kit if I get them as well I suppose. Thanks mate.

1st kill, is your Aurion lowered and do you have any dramas with the 20" rims scrubbing/rough ride??

I have used Tempe Tyres before, and you get what you pay for. What I mean by that is the wheels are pretty average when it comes to quality, however, mine lasted quite a while. The tyres are usually the cheap things like Nankang's or something similar, unless you request another brand of tyre.

Chances are, they will be the same kind of quality wheel with slightly better tyres from Jax. So check out what freight will cost you and pay another visit to Jax, remember that you are the customer and have bargaining power. Just don't expect them to do you any favours if you get the wheels from Tempe and ask Jax to put them on.

I had exactly the opposite experiance with Tempe. You need to be precise on what you want and expect from them, it helps to do your research and speak their language (I mean car language not Lebanese).

Also,

Its 1stkill with the killer atx.. His in Melbourne so it shouldnt be a problem.. althought if I saw any Aurion anywhere with my rims on id be ******.. But i doubt itll happen.

I would take it as a form of flattery mate :D

Just doing a quick look through the net, seems Tempe Tyres have the KSpeed Biaggi's which look identical to the Eleanors for $1999 with tyres (not sure what tyre they fit to them).

Anyone had dealings with Tempe Tyres????

I think I should be able to do them at home mate, hehehehe.

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.

EDIT: I think these would suit a black SX6... but.... that is quite a large sum of cash.. I can tell you I got my 19" Lensos with Kumo tyres for less than $2000.

I am not a a fan of these sorts of wheels.. I dont want to offend anyone but they arnt very unique and are always seen on white commodores. What I am trying to say is they are very Australian..

ps. Much love out to the AU.

I know what you are saying, but I think on a black SX6 the Eleanors would look excellent.

Uniqueness of them doesn't phase me, up here in Townsville there are a few cars getting around with them but not a great heap.

I saw these Fox's and I think they would look pretty good as well on a blacky (someone else here has them as well I think) $2350 delivered sounds pretty good to me, will ring tomorrow and chuck up what tyres they come with

They only come in 20"s though...........anyone had dramas with putting 20s on their Aurion??

Well after being on a bit of a hiatus from my Aurion (been away with work) for the last 6 months, I finally thought about heading in to Jax tyres here in Townsville and getting a quote on some 19" B Boss Eleanors with tyres for my black SX6 and the price ........$2900!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked what the difference was for 18" and the quote for those were $2400.

do these prices sound a bit inflated????

I must be the only person in here that isn't a fan of those aftermarket grilles :(

$hit, Hyundai have made a good looking car there.

Any word on what Donks they will be using on those things????

I would love to paint my toyota emblems gold (i have a black sx6) but getting them off will be a *****. The Aurion and sx6 lettering on the rear end was hard enough to get off let alone this one which is set back.

The lack of an AUX input in the head unit.

My Sportivos lowered and whilst the ride is even a tad harsher than normal, the handling capabilities were worth every cent spent on the new sport springs............

Wheres the best place to get an LED bulb replacement for the stock globe??

7 Psi might lead to too much power for the drivetrain, well more so a FWD car to handle. Just my opinion. Would love to see whoever buys this item with the end result.

Mate I hope they hurt themselves bad on those quads..............................hang in there mate.

$600 at Pedders for me.

i went with Pedders, i have had no dramas at all, and the drop was around 42-45mm. The handling/cornering is alot better than the standard suspension, I am only running the standard 17's.

Glad to hear you are alright though Daryl. That is the main thing mate.

Be wary of that exhaust mod though mate, the last thing you want is the other insurance company cracking the sads and not paying up because of your mod.

Your new rims are 1000000% than your first set you changed to, well done man.

Got any photos of your finished interior??

Where did you get your LED's for numberplate light and interior lights???

And how hard is the numberplate and reverse light to change, I havent even looked at changing them, hopefully it's not too much of a drama!!

And the fact your username is the same as your number plate...........................

Sounds good though......

:D hey anyone .Im new here. I have pictures posted always looking for new idea to add to my aurion. looking into gps. Anyone fill me in on those HID lights everyone seems to be getting and whats the go with the air intake? I am a family man so ill give the lowering a miss , my wife would scrape the hell out of it. ANY IDEAS?????????????

Welcome mate.

Maybe try de-badging her, makes them look a hell of a lot cleaner.

I lowered mine and I have absolultely no issues with mine, in fact i wish i had done it sooner, it was the best $550 bucks I have ever spent (Pedders)

Just on that supercharger, I wonder what other accessories you would need in order to put that puppy on a standard 2GR-FE..................external oil lines, drive belt, gaskets, seals...............I wonder if you tried to get these wether or not you would need to give the serial number of a TRD Aurion in order for toyota to hand over the goods, me thinks they would be a little concerned that anyone with a TRD Aurion would be getting these accessories and not having the car booked in for work to be done..............I reckon they would be a little suss............

The hardest part of the filter change is getting a hold of that specialist tool (09228-06501). The step of draining the filter assy before cracking it looks more like it's a process to avoid making a mess as it a reusable housing and all. Just have a container nearby for when you open her up. I wouldn't be too sexed up lads, I reckon the first time you will be very tentative and it will take you half an hour to do this but after a few goes at it, you will halve your time. Don't be too worried about checking the oil pump output as outlined in the very first step. I am assuming that you are doing these filter/oil changes in between your proper toyota service(so as too keep your warranty and all), so the interval for that is still being carried out as per the book, you are just being a bit more conchie with the interval of the oil changes. Have fun with it hey!!!
