  1. Got my sx6 6 months ago for $27k wih 33,00kms on the odo.

    Realistically I'd advertise for about $26-27k but dont expect any more than that, if not $25k or so after negotiating.

    With the apparent 'economic crisis' everyones not buying big things like cars & houses so it may take a while to sell unless you sell it cheap...which may look dodgey...so you cant win either way.

    Can I swap you all of your exterior panels?...cos I wanted a green one when I was looking...

  2. Bondie,

    In addition to the grill...what else in parts term similar to our Aurion?

    Lip Kits by any chance?

    And also, what are the things in the discs can be applied to our car, apart from things that we've been discussing in the forum?

    Cheers

    I have the aforementioned CD. I will take a quick squiz through it and look into the possibility of uploading some stuff.

    Edit: Oh dear. I thought it was a CD. Turns out it is a DVD with 3.89GB of data. This might be a while.

    Sharing is caring Darryl...

    I'd be willing to send some $ your way for a copy of it...

  3. To save money and trouble, I would just sell the car and buy a 2nd hand TRD Aurion. Apparently there will be a lot of them hitting the market soon, probably in the 30k-40k range. Then you'll not only get the body kit but also the other go-fast bits too. Rumour has it that the QLD police are ditching all their TRD Aurions within the next year or so because of the unacceptable torque steer during wet conditions.

    Ooooooorr, you could lend me your front bar and I could get my buddy to make a fibreglass replica......

  4. There's about 6" of pipe exiting the back of the muffler that bolts on to the centre pipes... be easy enough to knock up a custom piece to compensate for the offset.

    Otherwise most popular universal mufflers come with offset & centre options - usually shown as O/C (offset/centre), C/C (centre/centre) etc.etc...

  5. Hi apg39,

    Thanks for the link, but it looks like its dead. I realise now they have two web sites...http://www.rtnmotor.co.th/

    I searched for rstyleracing, which brought me back to the forums, but to a different thread by BONDIE:

    I'm new here. Bought myself an AT-X recently and stumbled upon this post. I really like some of the mods you guys have done and the efforts you have gone to post them on this site. Can anyone point me to the Thai site that has the black grill? I may be able to import this into Australia because my wife is Thai. Thanks!

    First of all, WELCOME.

    The site I've been trying to contact (not any more, bought one on Ebay) was www.rstyleracing.com

    There's the mesh grill & chrome VIP style as well as lip kits on there, but our car is known as new camry.

    Speaking Thai means you can translate www.camryclub.com as well.

    Link worked for me this morning, but had trouble going into the Camry items, now its not working at all.

  6. My biggest question about turbo on an aurion would be where to mount the turbos? Typically you would use twin turbo in a V6 I would imagine, but it is so rare to see a FWD V6 that i don't know where you would place them...

    I reckon the engine itself could take a bit of boost... maybe about 8psi would be safe with it at the most. Supercharger is the only option I can see though, as you can't easily reroute exhaust from the back of the engine to a turbo, or is there something I'm overlooking here?

    Yep, correct. I did some quick reading on ToyotaNation & where to mount turbo & lack of space for more exhaust piping were the biggest issues.

    IMO there *could* be some room where the air filter box sits at the moment, taking that out, maybe put the battery in the boot & there's room for turbo & some intake pipes, but exhaust I've got no idea because I havent got underneath to have a good look.

    Looks like I'll have to get me a Ebay Super-electric-intake-turbine-crap-charger instead......

  8. The only things banned at my workplace is new technology - all of the computers are running Win98...with one on Win95 and he can't do half his work cos the programs don't work. The boss barely knows how to check his emails let alone check what were doing.

    And my work mobile is a Nokia 3310.

    And the receipt printer is one of the old dot-matrix jobs.

    21st Century here we come !!!
