JapanParts.com. Cost $460 for the part itself.
Apparently as of TODAY, TRD has released their new selection of TRD goodies

I will have to email them, and see if they can also include the front fog Canard in the order.

Had my 2nd Service (30,000km/18months) done today at last.
Car runs ALOT better with new oil in it. I'm part of BOTH 30k clubs now
30,000km and as many in $ spent

The Toyota techs put in some of this "United 0W-20" oil in the car, but I will no doubt be flushing that out by end of tonight after work. Gonna let the car sit and drip that out and then put in the GENUINE Toyota oil which I bought bulk of the other week. Only doing it because I hate the environment nar not really. I'm really picking on what stuff I use as engine oil in my car.

Here's an invoice run-down for the guys who have not yet had their car serviced at 30,000km.



Just a heads up..
NOTE, for all the OCD OWNERS who actually care how their engine bay looks like(as in spotless and immaculate like the day you bought it). Put a note to NO DEGREASE/CLEAN THE ENGINE..

I just had my 30km service too.

I didn't know they cleaned the cars ... my car has not been cleaned once whilst its been in for a service or repair! I feel ripped off!

I forgot to add this to car's online diary/journal. My good buddy with Perths hottest RED GTS Supercharged helped me install my P3cars vent on Wed night (2nd Oct). Took about 10mins. (He was the one who bought the vent listed a few posts above off me last week and was first in Perth to get it fitted)

This package took ONE week to arrive instead of 3 months.


Best of all, it doesn't have that FA20Crap logo silkscreen onto the face of it

Compared to the 'other' P3cars digital guage vent kit, this one comes with the P3cars.com sticker


Also, this came in the mail today while I was at work.
TRD sticker ordered off eBay


Oh, and a video too. Coming back home from a long day of work.. THESE... people.. are my damn neighbours :/

Hit 30,000km tonight. From 5th July, 2012 to 4th October, 2013 = 15months.
2,000km per month.

Not much happening atm. Loving the P3cars digital vent though. Very handy to have and use, I should have bought it at the very beginning months ago. No need to crank up the Torque App on my phone to check the oil temp is warm enough to drive the car off with(I baby my car on start up - don't drive until oil temp is at least 50deg C.

Gave my car an oil change(even though I had a dealer service last week - the put in some "United" engine oil) using the GENUINE Toyota 0W-20 oil. I suppose the United was good, use it as a kind of 'flush' before I put in the good stuff

While the car was on jackstands on Saturday night, I decided to give some TLC to my exhaust tips(being the ricer that I am). They haven't been cleaned for at least 6 months. I gave the RB diffuser a good clean too. I must say that the RB diffuser is actually functional.. in that it helps to stop the soot from coming above the bumper section.

Gotta love the way the Japanese design their stuff though. Some 'other' exhaust systems, if you wanted to clean the muffler/tips - you would have to remove the whole CBE. Not so with the HKS. I just removed both cannons from the Y-mid section. Here are some pics

you can leave those on the car and do that.
Edit* so you don't have to replace gaskets (if applicable)

What kind of intake scoop is that?

Yeah, you could leave the muffler on the car while doing it, but it wouldn't be as thorough as a job. I had my car on jack stands anyway since I was changing out the oil so I thought might as well. Spent probably 30-40mins extra doing the removal/clean up of those mufflers.

Best part of the HKS Spec-L is that it doesn't use any gaskets. The two mufflers use a small 'ring' or small donut. Very similiar to how the stock front pipe connects with the cat back section.

Here is a pic of the small gasket type rings I'm talking about(from my HKS Spec-L post)

My latest acquisition...
These are replacement bolts that are required when installing the SPOON Sports rigid collar set. I believe they are the rear ones(need to double check with City Toyota)
