  1. Still go the first one apg39... But i personally don't like black rims :P
  2. Just thought i would let everyone know had the camber bolts put in by toyota on warrenty and the problem is completely gone.... runs straight as a die
  3. *** I must sound like a prick now :o Didn't mean to send in 3 posts but i guess you can't say you missed the thread :P ... Good to see that forum flood control is working
  4. Good point I wasn't debating which fuel was being used just that V- power is 98 RON does anyone have any idea why shell only offers V-power and not 95 RON as well?? Sorry i realise i am going a little off topic!!! :(
  5. Personally I like the mesh grill like JIN got... Think it really suits the car...
  6. Thailand mate as aforementioned look at the thread that bondie posted about it!! All contact details and instructions of how to order and pay are on his profile as well!!

  9. 3s-GE engine is ok but if you got the extra coin dump an SR-20 in the chassi can handle it and it's a lot better engine :D prob can't say that though as it isn't a toyota engine oh well!!!
  10. A bit off topic - but I think Shell's premium unleaded (V-power) is actually 98 octane. 100% correct
  11. Did the Avalon come with adaptive AI for the automatic transmission though? It seems like a reasonable explanation, but only if it is one of the features that it has. Good point didn't even look to see it was the Avalon not the Aurion we were speaking about... my bad
  12. Mate do you do alot of highway driving?.If so, i found that in my last car, that alot of highway driving, high speeds for long durations will customise the gear changing, so when you drive around residential area at 60 or 50km the car gear changing in automatic will be jerky and all over the shop. For example if you drove from brisbane to melbourne flat out at 120km, it would take about 1-2 weeks of driving around melbourne city for the gear changing to settle in and get use to stop start gear changing. Im not sure if this is the same for the aurion, but found it happened a fair bit with some of my other automatics. I am pretty sure that with thte learning gear box in the car does that.. Easiest way to fix it would be to reset the trans ECU..
  13. Hi. I think you better contact argie. He is a member of this forum as well and I got the grill from him. It costs me $165 incl. postage with insurace for upto $200. another suggestion, search for bondie's tread, get one yourself, contact thai, paypal is safe as. Organising group buy takes time and not really worth the wait. also, better delete your email address? and u get the choice of black and chrome ok no problem, do you have the contact details handy for this guy in Thailand ? Also, like i said im new to this and want to update my ZR6 the way you guys have but worried about warranty. Does any modification to the engine and exhaust or to any body parts void warranty?? And i want to kill the rattle in my dash !! Its bloddy anoying everytime that its cold in the morning it happens until i have the heater on full blast and the plastic expands..... And sorry 1 more thing, a strange noise from the motor also when its cold sounds like something tapping as it drives until i get the RPM's up then i cant notice it but once the motor is warm as i speed up going through the gears the noise dispears ! Any suggestions, Toyota think its normal and they cant hear anything abnormal from the motor when its cold d?? Please Help ! Thanks Rick ZR6 In regards to the warm up noise i am very sure there is a thread in this forum that they talk about noises while the engine is warming up.. Can't rember whether they resolved the problem or not though... Just do a search in the aurion forum pretty sure it's one page back... Congrats on the new car mate know you will enjoy it.
  14. its been 8 years since but I do remember things like that when I was a P plater certainly doesn't encourage P platers to stick to the speed limit that might have been the 4 cylinder Accord, or maybe they used gross weight? Aurion A-TX is 200kW power 1540kg tare 1590kg kerb 2110kg gross = 95, 125, or 130kW/tonne ? the last two ratio is typically assosicated with "hot hatch" lol Sorry for my naiveity but which weight do you typically take it off of...
  15. Just wanted to let everyone know that i took my Aurion ATX in for it's service today had previously had a mate (who runs a Beaurepairs) do a wheel alignment and print out the results.. Still puls to the left but wasn't as bad told toyota about it today and are putting camber bolts in on warrenty... so happy.. Guess the morale of the story is if you can prove that there is a problem they will fix it no questions asked.. keep everyone posted on the results with the camber bolts on..
  16. Hi am contemplating buying a 200 series Sahara and was just wanting to find out how everyone has found them.. Any problems and alike.. Have heard positives and negatives
  17. Sure canon my last car, fixed mine twice once did it myself which looked ok but second time got a guy to come round to my house and couldn't tell that they even had scratch cost about $200 for all four wheels but this is about 3 years ago..
  18. Looking at this months wheels mag which as flawed as it sometimes is the stats are normally pretty good the Honda accord they test drove was 92kW/tonne.. Just for the record what is it for the Aurion??
  19. Mannn i dont know. Ive worked out - that amongst all the pics ive gathered, they aint all the same lipkit. What i mean is one of the lipkits actually comes with the car, the car is called the camry extremo and it comes with a smoother type of lip kit, that actually blends in with the car, which is in the pics ive attached. The one that thailand sells looks similar, but up close - completely different - it doesnt blend in so well, it looks like it just been stuck on, too many curves and corners and looks a bit sh*t. ( attach pics with 2 different kits) Has anyone else had any luck with lip kits. What about you dannywss, any luck yet. Bondie which of these two is the extremo kit?
  20. LoL...This 1. This is from the same company in Indo I've contacted to custom a Kit.. But yea...Back to fittings.. Btw Bondie, I barely see any differences to the LipKit.. Better ask them whether they can custom a Roof-Spoiler.. ;) IMO, dun think it's worth the value considering u gonna spend like almost 1k for something people can hardly tell the differences. I'd rather spend it on brakes with those red clip covers. Looks sickkk.. That is true, what i needto do is to find one between the wald kit and the lip kit.((like the siver kit below) As i think the wald kit changes the curves of the Aurion too much and makes it look like a holden. Some sort of kit that is going to give it a fuller look but not change the shape it too much. I might have to keep looking. I dont know about the roof spoiler,......im not a big fan. Each to their own. Below is pics of the wald kit, ........too much i think: Good point does look very holden like. My opinion is you need something between your orignal idea and this. The First one you displayed i had to look look twice see if the car even had it on...
  21. Best bet would be to go to your local auto barn and get them to mix you the correct colour. Toyota only has body paint colours.
  22. Cheers mate, much appreciated
  23. Sure does!! I think the fact that in essence the gear box is still a automatic that can be controlled somewhat by the driver has a lot to do with it. Only baseing that assumption on a previous thread I have seen here though!! It will be interesting to see how Fatsatman gets on with the dealer reflashing the ECU though!!
  24. Like your idea about changing the colour think it would be just to much chrome!!! Just my thoughts anyway
  25. Thats hilarious and true!!! If only the bigger companies could learn from that example
