That grill looks fantastic, I would leave as is. MMM I really want an Aurion!, thinking of trading my camry

I did alpine to ipod in mine and cost $599 for the unit and i-pod conection, + then the cost of i-pod. The alpine takes full control of the ipod and I keep mine in the glovebox so no one can see it ;)

Well worth it if your a music fan. The sound is really good much better than dodgy connections

Yeah mine was the same price plus price of ipod...setup from westside audio in osi park did a great job. I havent got an amp or new speakers the speakers in these modles i reckon are excellent and sound is sufficient enough for me at the moment. My ipod and deck both come out of car when not in use. Probably goin to look at suspension again next with struts.

hehe nice

:)

how much did the grille set you back? where did ya get it from? n don't you hate how the colour doesn't match? -_-

The grille set me back $80 plus postage from Hong Kong which was another $40 (US dollars), from ebay mmm yeah at first it annoyed me the colour but ive gotten use to the chrome colour. :D

there's like... 30 characters on that thing... how do you get that? what state are you in? i want to go there.

Im in WA yeah thats the maximum characters that you can have on the plate which is 9, bit of a bugger if i decide to sell the car :)

Sure is mate My work mates bought me that for my 21st bday goin back a year ago.

G'day

Thought i'd finally post some pice of my Alpine deck with ipod connection (60gig video). I also recently got a new front grille hope you like

( EDIT: Sorry photos now added )

Hi guys

I always get my car serviced at Grand Toyota in Wangara Perth. They are excellent and the car is always 100% cleaned for us on pick-up my last service cost me $275 and that was for a 30,000km service

G'day guys

When I changed my rims I was advised to go with Brigdestone 225/45R18 G111, and i have no complaints with these tyres in my opinion they are excellent at $368 a trye they want to be!!

Hi guys

I recently had my car serviced and they picked up a few issues including the squeaky noises when turning from my steering wheel. Today had my power steering flushed as that was one of the issues and Grand Toyota picked up that my steering was noisey, which I have also noticed.

I was told that Toyota have developed a new grease to overcome this problem and its about a 4 hour job which is getting done on Monday, if anyone else has this issue speak to your toyota dealer because it is covered under warrantry!!! :D

Also I had toyota fix both my front window seals last serviced which was covered under warrantry (as this seems to be very common with these camry's). :D

At the moment the Camry is running excellent!! :D

Deano's 2003 Camry Sportivo

Hi Kelvin

I also own a V6 Sportivo but 2003. My fuel consumption on cruise (which i use most of the time) is down to 7L/100k. I also use premium unleaded and have fuel catalysts in my fuel tank which have made a difference. My tyres pressure is around what Terry suggested but i also have nitrogen gas in them not air. :D

Perth guy from the "north side" for over 21 years :D

Hi everyone - I'm David from Racing Performance Works and was sent the link to this to answer any questions on

Once we got all teh wiring worked out on the vehicle its acutally a very straight forward job, be it a greddy emanage or the haltech interceptor unit which we woudl use.

Next time we do a car whether its this one or another one we will be changing the igntiion setup to be able to do teh igntiion timing setup for full complete tuning ability.

But any questions on this feel free to ask away as I am happy to answer them. I trust everyone like the cold air kit we did on the vehicle :D

G'day David

I'm also from Perth, i drive a 2003 v6 camry sportivo. The cold air intake looks awesome and i'm seriously thinking of coming in to talk to you guys about some tuning work on my car.

The guy that owns the RPW Magna with twin turbo lives down the road from me and the work done on that is awesome!! :D

cya soon

Pethcamry

That is AWESOME!! Definitely going to pay a visit to Racing Performance Works. I'm very impressed with the cold air intake!!! :D

Yes ive finaly decided and gone ahead with ordering a sportivo sports muffler for mine, cant wait

Once again that looks fantastic!!

Hi Terry

Muffler sounds great I also have a V6 and r like you continplating on whether to go for the sportivo exhaust from toyota or goto a exhaust place mmmm.....decisions, decisions 

←

yeah it is a tough decision...

especially if you as paranoid about it being loud as i am

ive was thinking about it for months, and finally got around to getting it :P

if you want a muffler, but dont want something super loud, however it still noticable that you have an aftermarket muffler installed, i reckon the Sportivo Muffler is very good choice :)

its probably one of the quietiest 'Sports' Mufflers out there im guessing...

if you want one, better hurry up, only 20 left in all of Australia according to what my local dealership has told me

they arent making them anymore apparently.

←

Thanks looks like i'd better make my decision quickly or i might miss out cheers for the info :D

Hi Terry

Muffler sounds great I also have a V6 and r like you continplating on whether to go for the sportivo exhaust from toyota or goto a exhaust place mmmm.....decisions, decisions

the front of the camry definitely looks like the front of my bros mazda sp23, unsure whether i like the shape of the back though

WHo are you going through to get your sportivo chipped and how much will it cost ya?

←

going through RPW in Osborne Park. $1400, CAI 150ishand headers ???? not even sure if there are any

←

Yeah I know the place the owner has a turbo charged magna just lives around the corner from me, its great that they are helping you as they usually only deal with mitsubishi lets us know how it goes

WHo are you going through to get your sportivo chipped and how much will it cost ya?

was your stock tyres 205/55/16 OR 205/60/16???

If that is your stock tyres (205/55/16)and now you're on 225/45R18 

your speedo reading will be 4.4% slower than what you're actual speed is. (speedo reads 100kph but actual speed is really 104.4kph)

←

Thats an interesting point. Because I have one demerit pt left I use cruise nearly all the time. For example coming home from work down reid hwy the limit is 90kmph, I set the cruise on 95, theres always a speed camera in the same spot at least once every week and I dont get flashed. From your theory I should get flashed at 100k's <_<

hey! nice camry!!

just a TIP: paint the calipers RED looks more sportierr   :D

EDIT:  u sure those tyres are the right size for that rims? coz if im not mistaken your speedo reading might be slower than what your actual speed is.

←

The tyre package is: 225/45R18 Bridgestone Potenza G111

Thanks for the advise im definitely goin to paint the calipers red :D

Nice wheels!!!!

i saw them today, the fella really wanted to sell them to me.

thumbs up

←

Cheers

They came as a package from bob jane about $3000 all up i was very impressed :D

I'd have to say the first rims as well they look great!!

Hey Spordeano,

I was thinking about your fuel economy being so good, did the Fitch thing make much difference?

I have it in mine too now. B)

←

Yeah I think it did, I've noticed the difference anyway, to me its worth the money :D

Sounds like there will only be Perthcamry and I for the camry's that doesnt worry me, name a place, time and count me in :D

get the rolla and camrys to go for a cruise in perth together?

←

Sounds great if we can get enough people i will definitely be up for that
