Not sure how many people will be happy to disclose what they paid. You may get lucky though.

there was an old thread on the previous GSU45R kluger where alot of people have mentioned the prices paid and helped me with getting a good deal on the previous price. :D

Hi all
would like to know what model and the prices paid brand new for the toyota kluger. So that it could help myself and others who are in the market to buy.
Would be great if you can list the options/accessories also.

Ive got a 2012 kluger and ive experienced the clunk. I had 1 month warranty left and i booked it into canterbury toyota who did a test drive and acknowledge the issue. I just mentioned that i know of a friend who had the same issue and had the steering intermediate shaft replaced and it fixed the problem. They disagnosed it and came back concluded it was that and waited 2 week for a part from japan which is a permanent fix of the known issue.

Have got the car done and it hasnt made a noise since.

Hope this helps others out in the future who look to get the clunking noise rectified.

thanks all for your input.

seems xenon extreme and morimoto HID kit is the 2 kit i am deciding with.

both with very great feedback and reviews.

for anyone interested, some info on hids is available at

www.theretrofitsource.com

i think im leaning towards morimoto.

both is priced the same

Would like to know of a reputable brand for HID/Xenon kits that anyone has used.

im after 4300k or 5000k for the light output.

cheers.

hard to tell apart the fake philips hid kit on ebay whether genuine or not.

would hate to pay $239 on a fake philips hid kit.

appreciate everyones thoughts on this.

Interesting what you've done.

I just read through from the very first page.

About theKluger as i only skim read through it.

What mods were done for you to achieve the 0-100 in 7.1 secs?

i want to know if i will have any rubbing issues with the tyres 205/45/17 offset is +42.

i am on king springs superlows. the rubbing issues i am concerned about is most probably under full load .. like 4 or 5 passengers in the car on superlows n 205/45.

i am currently on 205/40 with no issues ... i am aware of the speedo inaccuracy

thanks

maybe the s15 grey, pewter

Bad experience? Who??

i think it was blackrolla.

thanx heaps xtarcy n gazoom for the feedback .. jus needed some reassurance ..

if anyone has some pics they can post up it will be gr8 ...

How did it turn out ? im referring to the finish of ur products and also the color matching.

i'm getting like half my car resprayed there cos someone keyed my car. kinda worried abt the job such as color matching n the finish. reason why i chose him cos the price he quoted was half the price of other places. btw my car is white. going in for respray on monday and hopefully all turns out good.

been hearing alot of good comments and hence i am going to d sports to get it done. hopefully all turns out good. i have read from the forum that someone here had a bad experience onli but rest is all good.

sorry for the lengthy post.

Anyone else had their panels sprayed at d sports?

when i had springs it was 50mm drop superlows.. running 215/35/18

wheels still had 2-3 inches off the guard

plenty of room.

serious? what if you had a full load ?

another one for the ferodo DS2500, i haven't had them long enough to notice rotor wear, but they are awesome! no fading at the track in the ST185 and braking power is heaps better then stock pads once they have a little bit of temp into them (don't need a lot)

i think i paid ~120ish for the front set...can't remember exactly...but i will be using them on all the time now i think

Hows the brake dust on the ferodo ds2500?? same as the stock ones or less ?

yes im 100% definate

count me in also for 280

hey mate, what year is your ascent?how much is your injen cai?is there alot hp after you install it?or is it just few hp increase?thanks man

my one is late 04 ascent and i got it for 370. theres heaps more torque as it hit 3.5 and at 4 it just pulls pretty good. but i have a cat back exhaust. can't seem to hear the induction noise much but can hear it on idle.

i have a facelift acent and i installed my injen cai and apparently the fit is really tight. the piping is touching the headlight. any advice??

saturday prolly 3.30 - 4

saw a black rolla think it was a stivo riding low with 2 passengers and an exhaust.

had a c one cf bonnet on the hume highway and turned into cabramatta rd.

if you have short stroke struts and lowered springs, you need shortened bump stops to allow for the appropriate amount of travel.

Maybe Northy should offer his expert advise :P

...I can hear it now... "get cusco's cause they're the best..."

muahahah

whats short stroke struts?

dont get angry, ive had to do it to 3 cars, always works (on datsuns at least and on corolla), but depends on the design i guess of the wheel. it has to fit tight when you smack it on, you are basically forcing it onto the lock nut. otherwise, get out your chisel and mallet and start hacking it off.

If you were in melbourne i may be able to help, or maybe not... its an old trick that has worked for many people for may years.. i got taught it from bob janes... works for them.

YUP !!!! :D well i brought it to some dude and he got it off for me .

he charged me $10 and was more than happy to give him ten bucks

he did wat u did and didnt work and he just tried again and got it off. took him a well ten minutes to get it off.

the yokohama c drive is good, very grippy, good wear factor and would last 40000ks around $200 mark

wat abt the x-force twin loop exhaust?

isnt that pretty quite also ?

just a suggestion as i neva heard a twin loop b4.

find a socket that will go over the lock nut.. just but will be tight, then smack it on lightly with a mallet. I find usually 20mm 21 or 22mm will do the job. if you get it just right you can even knocjk the lock nut out of the socket and use it on the next one... you must use a ratchet or breaker bar if put on with a rattle gun though.... been there done this many times, have a habbit of loosing lock nut keys.

nope doesnt work .. my friend tried it with his breaker bar and ratchet and rattle gun. tried many socket sets too.
