Wez Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The 3 holes you are talking about never came with mesh in them, some people retro fit mesh which they have sourced and cut to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QSC Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Replacement auto knobs are about £50 or so I think from Toyota, the overdrive switches are a bitch to fit though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 hi again redberet - Ill get in here first. Stick with the stock airbox if you have it. The aftermarket ones often filter very poorly and dont give you an advantage horsepower wise. Toyota spent a lot of money and R+D getting the airbox right and giving it nice cold air feeds rather than sucking in hot engine air. Best bet is getting hold of a TRD (or other) pannel filter. Im sure a trader on here can supply one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest redberet2252 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Cheers good advice, whats a pannel filter??? sorry this is all new to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Cheers good advice, whats a pannel filter??? sorry this is all new to me It's the standard filter that sit's inside an airbox;) Also the metal bars your on about are strut braces, loads of places do them and it's not really something you can go wrong with.

JustGav Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Welcome aboard... N/A = Normal aspirated...non turbo.. My only comment would be regarding the 19"s, you may find the drive and handling isn't as good as stock, but that is a different debate and one that has been done a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Welcome aboard bud. Your motor will look like this if it's turbo mate. NA's look totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
