I remember reading awhile back about the new Camry thats supposed to come out to rival HSV and FPV from Toyota's Aussie performance division. (TRD?)

Supercharged V6 Engine with 180kW or something, 0-100 in sub 7 secs or something and 18" wheels standard.

Anybody got any new info on this thing?

Haven't heard a peep from the cardigan carmaker about this thing for ages.

But 180kW and only 6's for 0-100km/hr? That's no HSV / FPV competitor. And Aussie car buyers have proved time and time again that they want their big sports sedans to push, not pull.

I haven't seen any sketches of the new camry, but the new one is to be a 4 cylinder. I own a 96 V6 Camry, 5 speed and it goes pretty well for what it is. There were rumours floating around of them producing a few V6 supercharged camry's, but thet have appeared to back down from this idea.

Instead of a "Lexus" Chaser, Toyota should put the 2JZGTE VVTi in the Lexus IS300 in place of the atmo 2JZ it comes with. That would eat chasers for breakfast. But with the IS and 2JZ so close to the end of their life cycles it is not a viable option unfortunately. But maybe I could do a conversion myself :P

Back on topic, I think making the Camry 4cyl only will help Avalon sales signifficantly, as V6 Toyota buyers will be forced into it, but I think total sales will suffor. The supercharged V6 should give the Avalon a much needed image boost though.

And as for big front wheel drives not handling, I've heard good things about the new Mitsubishi 380, but ultimately it still isn't my cup of tea. If I wanted a $35k+ big car, I'd go second hand, rear wheel drive and German, not new, front wheel drive and Australian. Mid to late 90's BMW 7-series come in at around those $$$ (I strayed off topic again :()

They should get rid of those high ass lights that nearly go all the way up to the window, they look shit, they are on every new car except Ford and Holden, and Toyota should make some sexy 4 door pimpin style RWD turbo beast that still looks family driveable but a few years down the track available to the drifters.

Also Mitsubishi should get there asses together and make a RWD magna and then maybe they'd make some sales.

Man i should go sell my parents camry n buy that supercharged one if it ever comes out.. I still dont know why toyota dont make any new sports car.. I mean Mr2 came out, but thats the uggliest thing i have seen.. n its shit..

Or maybe they just done release it here in aus..

Whats toyotas latest sports car?

FWD cars are gay ;3

and no.. if the chaser came here, u'd have to pay a shitload for one..

that's y i was hoping the next GTR wouldnt be released here.. now i bet it'll cost us over $150k and it'll stay that expensive for ages..

gay ;3

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
