Well I was just cruising along, and there was a weird burning smell then BANG! a loud bang, i thought it was just backfire, but now the car has alot more power and when it gets to like 80 its alot noiser as anyone who has this car would know, the engine is very quiet

I don't want to tell my parents yet till i know what it was, and if i tell them they wil probably think i was speeding or thrashing it

The next time your Mum takes the car out, offer to go with her. She'll think you're a good lad!

Then as she starts to accelerate, you already know what it'll do if it hits 80, so get the rubber mallet ready.

If she doesn't go over 70, wait for trip back home. And on the way home, get the rubber mallet ready.

Even if she only gets to 70, ya hit the door panel with the rubber mallet and she'll say, "What on earth was that?"

So you ask her to pull over. Lean under the car and tell her what you've learned from SAUer '116.hks' "I think it's the cat!"

She says, "Where's the cat - is it hurt?"

You say, "It's what is the cat - not where's the cat? Don't you know anything????"

...you know the rest!

...you're safe!

This is one very good sounding plan.

Another option it to hope they don't really care about the extra noise and enjoy the extra power

yerh that would be nice :D

so its not bad to keep driving the car?

The only option now is to kill your parents and burn their bodies in the car. It's harsh i know, but it's unfortunately the only plan.

Or you could spend a couple of hundred bucks at a mechanic to get them to replace the cat, but that's a stupid idea.

Show some respect for other people, especially your parents, and stop thrashing their car.

i wasnt thrashing it... i was behind a slow indian so its hard to thrash a car at 40 k/m

and thanks PM-R33 so it should only cost a few hundred?

lmao and burning the car isnt a option :D

go to your mum and tell her that something happened.. obviously a POS camry lol

tell her to take it to a mech for a diagnostic.. get her to ask the mech if thrashing caused the prob.. mech should be able to tell that you did/did not thrash the car

if you indeed didnt thrash it then you have nothing to worry about.. then tell her since you were driving the car at the time you are willing to chip in as she is such a lovely lady and the greatest mother in the world for allowing you to drive her car

if you try hide it and she finds out then she's gonna suspect you trashed it.. then she'll spank you

haha yerh i told her, and my dad thinks it was because i was thrashing it :(

but my friend who works at toyota as part time apprentice said camrys arent ment to be put on gas (mum brought it dual fuel as it was a ex government car so lots of highway kms) because the compression rate is too low

so i think that would have been the cause as the car is run on gas 99% of the time

thanks heaps for your help guys, yerh she will take it after new years cos she will be on holidays by then and il pull the nicest mother in the world line when the bill comes in ;) haha and then chip in

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
