    Have a look around(Google, etc.) for the one you like the most. If nothing else, the genuine ones will make fitment a bit easier. The one I linked is just one example from a dealer who also sells on eBay.

    In that case, I would suggest that you take it to a mechanic. Not to be mean and I know you said that you don't have the money; but if you mess something up, it will cost you more in the long run. If it is a shared system with the brakes and you do something foolish, you can kill people. Aside from that, buy a repair manual or watch a tonne of Youtube videos on the subject.

    You could potentially look into something similar to this:

    As you can see, aftermarket has varying levels of quality. OEM body panels almost always fit better.

    No one makes aftermarket transmissions for them, so it sounds a bit suss to me. Odds are it may be a second hand transmission. It probably just needs to be serviced and have the filter replaced. If GSU45 model, do a search on Aurion(same drivetrain) transmissions on these forums and you should come up with some answers.

    Yes.

    This is the first instance I have heard of with an Aurion or any other Toyota model shattering without a direct impact.

    Welcome.

    There are plenty of aftermarket ones for sale on eBay. The best option quality-wise is something like this genuine Sportivo one. http://ebay.com.au/itm/271427408165 I'm not sure of any local shops that sell aftermarket ones though.

    Short answer, no. If you want to make noticable power, you will need to fit a turbo or supercharger. You would expect depending on the quality of work for it to range in the vicinity of $10,000-$20,000 for parts and labour. If you want noise only, with minimal at best power gains, then a CAI is for you.

    Bodykits are usually more of a problem than they are worth. Most of the time they are poorly built, don't fit very well and are easily damaged. At most, fit a lip spoiler. Sound system can be purchased from any car audio business. There will be nothing vehicle specific. What performance upgrades did you want to make? A "cold air intake" rarely gives any performance improvements. That being said, it is not the case every time. You will get fully sik brah induction noises though. What is your budget?
  12. trentmeyer23
    That is quite expensive, especially with the current exchange rate.
  13. trentmeyer23
    I can't see it being a costly vehicle to refuel. The difference in price will work out fairly minimal.

    O2 sensors, if not cleaned/checked already.
  15. trentmeyer23
    Probably not to the point that it would make a large difference. It would; however, keep the engine cleaner internally and potentially increase longevity of some components.

    The modification listed here is not a plug and play modification. You will need have a reasonable understanding of electrical wiring to complete it.

    It's a busy time. It seems like the C-HR might be quite popular.

    Welcome. Feel free to create a thread with lots of pics in the Members Rides section when your car arrives.

    Has someone mowed nearby recently? Any rocks, etc. around?
  20. trentmeyer23
    Not really, there is minimal information out there. From memory, the thicker shims were around $10 each plus postage. I was lucky that they had some very thin ones on the shelf that I needed, they were around half the price.
  21. trentmeyer23
    I think they use electric servo motors to control the mixer tap. Has there been any work done behind the dash at all? Sound system, etc.?
  22. trentmeyer23
    His posting slowed down, then stopped. He was really busy with work prior to that. I think the last time I saw him was at Big Pete's funeral.
  23. trentmeyer23
    He has been missing from the forums for a while now, not sure if he will be back.

    The drivers side bearing cup is fixed. The passenger side bearing cup has the preload shims. I used these guys for some shims I needed. Located in Melbourne. Ordered Monday morning, delivered in Brisbane on Tuesday afternoon. http://www.precisionshims.com.au/

    The system may utilise the same light; however, I would like to see if it is the park brake light or brake failure light.
