I just got back from a driving holiday up the coast and did find that some times when changing down if your pushing it hard You will get a thump.. I think it's the norm with sequentials cause my mate who was with me has the same thing happen to him in his Mitsibishi's sequential.. When i am driving sensibly though it is smooth as.. Taking mine for a service and am mates witht he service manager will ask him if knows for sure what it is!!

Congratulations mate looks fantastic. Where in Brissy is Pipeworx? wouldn't mind going in and having a chat to them.. Also how much did you find the fuel economy changed when you completed the mod??

Apart from having the Quad Exhaust, There's nothin we're similar in our interest.. The fact u uploaded this means 'Some1 PLZ steal my idea'. :P I reckon the quad should not be too small..If it doesnt fit, that means u just need to cut till there's a space.. :D Man...U're pretty good @ photoshop, You should do us some favor sometime when u're free.. Sharing the ideas..:P Agreed I think everything on the ***** is perfect.. But a quad exhaust would look nice

How the hell do you get from corolla to that!!! :P

Love the Mags :D never use to like anything over 5 spokes but are really growing on me. Don't know about the grill though <_< hahahha... yeah... those peoples are hardcores on spending on wheels... LOL... regularly, they spend on equivalent to 3 grand aussie bucks for their wheels T_T... but u can find dodgy, cheap , replica wheels too LOL..... yeah... the grilll.... i know what you mean... these peoples always take the aurion as a luxury car... so they always want it to be as elegant as possible... T_T... but honestly... i dont really like the grill too.. but the rest is ok LOL I can't understand why? Wasn't the whole reason for bringing the Aurion to australia so as to compete in the XR6/ SV6 market and promote that Toyota are still creating good performance vehicles.. Anyway each to their own, I personally think a nice mesh grill like JIN just got, with those mags would look stunning..

HaHa Thanks. Yeah it really does. I really love it! Should I paint it in ink black? or just leave it like that? I think you should leave it like that. It matches matt black piece in the centre of the bumper =D Agreed leave it that colour and see how you go getting a TRD badge.. Would look hot as!!!

Just refer to the query about the springs in the back. I just installed a set of MTX TDX6293 6x9's which have a massive magnet on them. Tried raising them but they wouldn't stay under the original trim. I took it to my mate who is a panel beater and he was able to place a bend in the brackets so it would clear the magnet. Easy solution!!!

So i take it from the pics you drew your power from the light straight from the existing one??? Nothing too it really, but here are some photos of how mine is set up. I didn't even cut the 2 metres of power cable that it came with. I just tucked it into one of the spaces there in the boot (you can see where in the fifth photo). All I needed was a couple of crimp connectors and a 1.5mm drill bit to drill two pilot holes for the screws. With 21 LED's that cover a good length of the boot, this is one useful light to have.

Definatly have to agree with that been raining up here in brissy for days and as soon as you apply a bit of pressure at the it hopslike a bitch... Also traction control has been given a workout with the rain been testing it's limits a bit and it's not a bad system doesn't let you do anything to stupid which i guess froma saftey point of view is a very good thing... Also so true about the cops give them a traffic infringment and they will jump right on it ask them to investigate a otheft and it takes days to get a response and even then it'll just be a slip to say it happened and they don't have any evidence.. any way thats my bitch for this evening :( on a lighter note got a full take of fuel and going to try turning the traction tonight and lighting the tyres up Road was very wet tonight, was going about 40km/h so i pushed the foot right down & it dropped back 2 gears, held wheel spin for about 5 seconds then shuddered & I let off the gas. Speaking of yet weather, I'm always extremely conscious about accelerating in the wet with my Sportivo. The wheel hop on it is horrible.

All i could get in the At-X was a small skid when i planted it till the traction control did it's thing. Then i tried to intentionally smoke them and as i said traction control came to the rescue.. Be interesting to see how long you could hold it for without out it.... Im guess a while

Ok clarfication if i was to go on ebay a search like "T-10 style LED (RED)" would probebly get me a selection of what iam looking for. Sorry to sound lke a dumb ***** but I usually would just go to repco but they alreaduy gave me my marching orders :o To difficult to get!!!

With the search parameters of "traction control", you will find this thread: Turning off TRC (Traction Control) Thanks again DJKOR, Have never really used the inter-nerd to find out stuff about my car before!!!!

Same with the normal Aurion mate!!! maybe not as bad as the TRD though :)

EVL, I was in the same boat was looking at the holdens and glanced at the fords ( never liked them to heavy on juice from some of my mates experiences). Ended up witht he Aurion and have not been happier I have managed to get the fuel consumption down to 10.8/100km and only have 30,000 on the ODO. Have also smoked most of the V6 versions of the holden and fords which always makes you happy :D Just drive sensibly and you won't be dissappointed with consumption.. drive fast and you'll be impressed with speed win win if you ask me!!! ;)

Blinky I have never had this problem at all my mate has a magna sports that I found does exactly as you said hence i was hesitant in buying a car with a sequential but with the AurionI find it to be extremly responsive and it always goes to the gear i want it to....... Unless you are doing something really stupid like changing to first @ 100km/h

Anyone have any idea how to turn traction control off. Getting new Mags and want to at least wear a little out of the current tires just for ****s and giggles!!!

I am interested in the Black one, depending on shipping and also misc cost that will be inccured.. Anyone imported stuff before and got any ideas!!

Thanks for that DJKOR... didn't realise that it was that easy .. One more question while we are on it coloured lights for the interior does anyone have fav's cause i tried a whole bucket of differnet types in my old car and just found they were way to dull!!! any suggestions???

QUOTE (mrdau @ Jul 18 2008, 02:00 PM) Sorry but it reminds me of a lime green milk shake yuk Inferno red is the way to go!!! Did you mean Inferno or Wildfire? I'll take the benefit of the doubt and say you meant Wildfire. Why... because that colour rocks. LOL Sorry mate i ment wildfire same as yours.... I heard it is no longer being produced? :o

Hey guys, Just got a new Aurion and have recently put NEONS through the interior. It looks great only problem is i had a thought of changing the interior light to match but it's got me stumped how to get to it. Looked in the manual but as usual no help there... Any idea's

Sorry but it reminds me of a lime green milk shake yuk Inferno red is the way to go!!!
