TRD

[RAJSTA81]

see where it dies in the ass from the TC then its just gets up and gos pretty hard

[BandyAir]

@RAJSTA81 Pretty much. I will shoot another vid with TC off.

@BandyAir

That would be good too see. There are hardly any good uploads of the TRD Aurion accelerating...Just curios, did you fit an after market TC switch???

My brother has the ZR6 and TC is constant.

[BandyAir]

@RAJSTA81 Will do soon. No Switch. TC can be switched off on all Aurions here is how. Before turning on engine foot on break - turn on engine - step on brake twice and hold, press hand(foot) brake twice - step on brake twice again and you should see the TC light come on. Don't burn the tyres.

@BandyAir

Wow,all that to to turn off the TC, Unreal... Toyota really didnt want people having fun..

Cheers for the tip mate.

Let ya know how we go.

Big up to the TRDs :D

[BandyAir]

I usually do... it helps a little.

[BucketheadWraith]

GReaT CaR :)

[BandyAir]

too lazy for that sorry:)

@BandyAir nice fast car.

But i've always wondered all that power to the front wheels????

[BandyAir]

@razehey well I wondered as well until I bought it and got used to it. Once you learn to drive it properly you don't even notice it is FWD it's not your everyday car thoguh you need two hands on the wheel. I think TRD has done a fantastic job putting the power through the front wheels. If this car was AWD it would have been selling like hot cakes. I am very happy with it.

[razehey]

@BandyAir yeh mate from the looks of the video, looks fast enough.

I agree should have been awd or at least rwd.

nice car, wouldnt mind having this car too.

[razehey]

@BandyAir how is the petrol cost with the trd though? weekly cost?

[BandyAir]

@razehey surprisingly lower than the standard Aurion I 've done as low as 7 litres on hgwy and the average in the city under my really heavy foot is around 13 litres. Supercharger actually seems to lower the consumption.

[razehey]

@BandyAir thats amazing results.

I was thinking of choosing between a vz sv6 or toyota aurion sx6..the aurion just looks amazing (sx6/trd etc).

did you have any problems with your old aurion or the trd now- reliability issues mate?

[BandyAir]

@razehey well that's why you buy Toyota in the first place: reliabilty. The sx6 is beautiful to drive. You have the sportiness and still very comfy ride. The TRD is more for the enthuisiasts but offers amazing performance (not just acceleration) brakes suspension and body are also fantastic not ot mention the interior) but you pay premium price. I think my old SX6 is still avaialble at the dealer with just only 13000km on it.

[BandyAir]

@razehey sorry forgot answer your question. Yes I had issues with them both. They use petrol so they need refilling:)

[razehey]

@BandyAir LOL cheers mate.

You should do a walk around!
