Queensland Highway Police Car - Toyota Aurion aka Camry

There are plenty of hot car out there, but this one really awesome. Toyota Aurion aka Camry in Malaysia is use as Highway Patrol Car in Queensland, Australia. If you read our previous post on this machine, Toyota Racing Developments workshop has bolted a supercharger on to the Aurion’s V6 engine to lift power from 204 kW to 241 kW.

The TRD Aurion was locally developed in Australia and the supercharged engine gives TRD Aurion 0-100km/h acceleration of 6.1 seconds and standing 400m acceleration of 14.2 seconds.

So far in Malaysia, the most powerful police car that I have seen only Satria GTi. What do you think ? Is it necessary for PDRM to have performance car in their line.

Lexus IS300 powered by 2JZ-GTE

The Lexus IS300 featured here is another great modification by the western on the IS300 or also known Toyota Altezza in Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). Eventhough, the factory setting 2jZ-GE engine is good enough in term of power, but many of the IS300 enthusiasts choose the 2JZ-GTE taken from Toyota Supra simply because of the possible engine swap with minor mod.

If you thing that the swap is easy, you are definitely wrong, nothing bolts in and fits, some of the things need to undergo major mod.

Not to mention that all IS300 comes with auto tranny !

The engine swap also maybe very much related to the famous legendary rear wheel drive AE86. What do you think of this Toyota monster.

What was reported, Toyota would equip solar panels on the roof of the high-end version of the Prius when it redesigns the gasoline-electric hybrid car early next year, and the power generated by the system would be used for the air conditioning.

For record, Prius is the world’s first mass-produced gasoline-electric hybrid car, first went on sale in Japan in late 1997 and in other markets in 2000, and its cumulative sales have topped 1 million units worldwide.

Farinaracer’s Caldina GT-4

Just wanna share with all my ride.I bought this in February this year from Mutiara Motor. Eventhough my first choice was altezza, but after being poisoned by BoyComel, I decided to grab this turbo charged car which I believe will best suit my needs. I need enough space for my small family and this sports wagon just good enough for me, and its turbocharged.

Don’t confuse caldina is just a sport wagon and not MPV.

Nothing much that I have done to this car simply because it comes with many extra accessories such as TRD bodykit, TRD exhaust, TRD coil, 18 rays versus and of course few goodies from mutiara motor, oil cap fillar, radiator cap and also e-manage.

There are many type of cadina in the market, the one that I have here is GT-4 NSpec. It has kewl part as factory standard such as Recaro seat, LSD, red Sport absorber and also engine strut bar. White is nice but not easy to maintain huh !
