    Beaves looking good mate .... really good ... u outa try hooking into a few of the roundabouts on the way into town and u'll feel the difference. The mather street one I took it at 110 the other day ... hung on like $hit to a blanket. IMO 19" are the way to go ... but each to there own ... go for it mate. Well done looking gr8
  2. Ouch ... trust no-one was hurt
  3. Looking real smick there Bondie ... you have done well ... pleased you got your stuff sorted
  4. Changing camber adjustment, correct me if I'm wrong, brings the top of the wheels either in or away from the strut, castor being towards the from or rear of the car, so if you change the camber you'll not only effect the performance of the vehicle but also wear tyres out prematurely.
  5. Quark:- What a bloody nice looking car ... very prestige indeed. Thanks for sharing Alby's photo's he looks ... well ... just nice. Ohh what a feeling hey
  6. Congratulations on the purchase of yet another Toyota. I'm sure Andrew will be missed and I'm sure he served you well during his life in Broken Hill ... now you have Alby and he too has great expectations placed upon him to shine through as yet another fine member of the Toyota family. Excellent choice and looking forward to the pics that may follow. Cheers and welcome to Alby :)

    Looking good .... Lowering and wheels .... interested to see the finished result ... good on u. Who did the tint for you?
  9. Cheers, im going to try and shave off the lump on the inner guard and see how i go. But till then im just going to drive my other car. The ride is still pretty good actually, its only on dips when it scuffs and it sounds bad. But speed bumps are fine, and is normal road driving. But i planned for that when I put a softer low profile tire on, so it would smoothe out the ride. Hopefully shaving off the lump helps. Thanks Bondie. A softer lower profile tyre? And I'm not real sure that the tyre will wear b4 the inner guard does ... anyway IMO I think it's got a lot to do with the softer spring the ATX has in it. Mine, a ZR6 on the same section width and profile but 19", does not rub at all. I have had ppl in the back and driven as normal with none of the rubbing happening. If your wallet alows I'd be considering changing the shock/struts which will also firm it up a bit which you may not like ... just my two bobs worths :) I'm sure it looks the part .. and looking forward to seeing some pics

    Your right .. they are a nice wheel ... you'll just have to save your bucks m8 if you wanna change them. Your car looks great as it does ....
  11. Seems as though I may have been mislead by an expert in the suspension field. The question when I lowered mine was directed to the shocks/struts as well as the spring. Knowing a little about it I naturally thought these components had to be changed as well. Not necessary, so I was told by the guy at pedders. I'll make myself a couple of calls tomorrow and find out not only from Pedders but also Fulcrum suspensions, who are the Kings springs dealers here. Will let you know the outcome. One talks of a standard Aurion .... ATX? ZR6? I think somehow there is a bit of difference in suspension between the two ??
  12. :D lol ... I know ... Gota ask? Why would you be wanting to change the struts/shocks? No need to m8 .. an unnecessary expense I believe !

    So your lowering it on the standards?
  14. Bondie:- Welcome aboard mate .... nice car I like the colour. It'll look good when you drop it down a bit. custom billet grill? interesting .... might have to google that one :)

    Beaves:- That is going to look awesome .... bet you can't wait. Did you see that guy I put you onto? Did he look after you do you think? Can't wait to see your pics
  16. springs AND shocks for $500? i think you are just talking about springs right? even if $500 for TRD springs? still doesnt make sense.. too cheap? That does seem a little cheap ... especially considering most OEM parts are priced outa the market. Sure you got that right EVL?
  17. All depends on what you want out of car ... totally your choice ... luxury and the joy of driving a REAL nice car ... yes maybe heavy on fuel, in your eye's, then go the Aurion. If your more concerned about running costs then might I suggest the Prius ... not quite my cup of tea .... my avatar is what I prefer. Happy hunting .... hope u find a happy medium
  18. RME1 You got that right .... I saw it on the LOT .... drove it .... imagined it .... and done it .... thanks for the input. I doubt , when it comes time to replace it, that I'd ever go back to a Holden ... best move made the Aurion ... what is they say ... happy as a pig in $hit
  19. Nearly as nice as your TRD that would have been nice ... just a little outa my range. Thanks for the comments .. cheers M&
  20. Well done m8 ... good buy for a good car you have done well. Looking good and driving well huh?
  21. EVL-184 How u doing M8 ... I'm still in orr with this damn car ... so ... well .. just nice. Numerous comments on head turns on the car ... which I must admit I just love ... lol The wheels are B.Boss 19x8 Silvia's take a look at his site ... got a few nice contenders there. http://bbosswheels.com/
  22. Congrats on the purchase m8 .... I'm sure your pretty stoked with it. What colour u end up with and where there many to choose from?
  23. A competitor for the Aurion ;) lol ... nah .. never happen
  24. looking good ZZR88 ... really nice done well mate .... she'll look good dropped down a bit B)
  25. Hi Pacie We have had our ZR6 for about a month now and I was only just thinking the same thing one night whilst driving. Seemed a little strange to me that they weren't backlit along with the mirror controls. All the effort put into a great car like the Aurion and little things like this are not addressed Still a bloddy nice car
