today i replaced all the 4 shocks with kyb and brought from taas.costed me 35k for the shocks.also i had to change the bushes and the covers.all together costed me 40k.i'm yet to experience the ride.shocks are gas ones.and the genuine ones are completely worn out......will share my new experience as soon as possible...thank you guys for your advices.................

thnx for your replies.anyway mine is a jdm, yom 2000 g grade one.does anybody know that what is the exact type of shock absorbers(hydraulic or gas) do i have to replace?????

hello everybody, the shock absorbers of my corolla 121 seems to be replaced.all four.so i called toyota and the quoted me rs.100000 for the all four.(60k for the front 2 and 40k for the rear two.)seems they are extremely overpriced.so i decided to go for something like kyb.so i have these doubts. -what is the best option that i can go for????(not the genuine toyotas) -would the replacement of kyb makes any difference other than the price??? -i heard kyb's are pretty bumpy.is it true??? -in kyb are there any options that are more comfort oriented??? -if i change the shocks,what are the other components that i have to change related to the suspension system thank you

hello everybody okay,i just dumped the idea of going for a navara. The civic hybrid seems like a fine option for my price range.anyway i have few doubts regarding the car. -do i have to change the hybrid battery in a very short time period??? -do i have to face any extra ordinary maintainence?? -how is the maintainence cost?? -is it more comfy than my current 121??? -does the low ground clearance (121 is 16cm and civic is 15cm) make huge limitations???? -fuel economy -interior space compared to my corolla -performance(compared to the corolla as civic holds a 1.3) -build quality(not so important) what i have to say is i've never driven a civic hybrid.have driven the insight,but feels a bit bumpy.anyway i am a little bit curious of going for a hybrid.i know if i buy one i have to update the system software if it is made before 2009.what i'm worried about is the ground clearance and the comfort as i've never driven one.so i need a good description.thanx......

i didn't get much information regarding the maintainence and the common problems

hello guys, i've been using my car for about 3 years and now i plan to sell it and go for a double cab due to the high ground clearance.also had an idea for a civic hybrid fd3,but the ground clearance........extremely low.So nissan navara is the one which falls in my category in terms of price.also had an idea for a x-trail and rav4.but they're petrol. what i need to know about the nissan navara, -maintainence cost -common faults -why it's cheaper than the l200 and the hilux -fuel economy -is it worthwhile trading my 121 and go for a navara???? i found a complete description about the dpf maintainence in AL and was very helpful.any opinion (specially owners') would be useful...thanks

Thank u everyone who replied.those information are vry useful.

Hi everybody. I'm planning to move on to a new vehicle.i like to own a navara,but many people say it's harder to maintain.is it true?i would like to knw abt these, -common problems -fuel economy -maintainence cost -is it worth to trade my 121 and go for a navara? Thank u.

hello everybody, I have an idea to replace my original cd player for a dvd navi system,in my 121.during last couple of months been searching,i found that it is good to go with a reconditioned japanese dvd unit,coz many of my frnds who replaced originals to chinese craps are now having many problems.one's unit lacks bass response.another system cant read cds or dvds.so where can i found a original jap made reconditioned dvd unit for my corolla 121? cheers

Really, what is vvt-i technology?

Thanx schiffer..ur ideas are really valuable...mixing 90 octane and 95 octane petrol, is it harmful to the engine?anyway my friend has a 2.0g model,and i've heard many said that cefiro's are not good when it comes to acceleration.is it true?and how does the vvt-i improves the performance?as we both got automatics,can i increase my acceleration by shifting manually?how is the best way to shift manually?

Same thing happened 2 one person i know.when he was going for honeymoon in a 121, the engine check had lit up.so after enjoying..he..he..he had taken the car to t*y*a* l*n*a, they have said the whole engine has a problem.they have said it will cost him over 200k.for his luck,he didn't gave them the job,and again had taken to a known place and he had only asked 500 rupees for fixing a problem in a circuit...monawa karannada?sri lankawe kattiyane..

Not only with prius.all ladies and new car owners too do the same...

Hey guys, one of my friends own a cefiro a33 2.0g model.he is quite jealous about my car,so he wants to held up a race,to see which 1 is faster(i know its more of a childish idea).can i win? cefiro is 2.0g model,and the engine is not tuned.Clocked nearly 125000kms. -mine is 1500cc and engine and the performance division is very well maintained.Clocked at 102000kms. could i win?what do u think?give ur opinions.

Not quite sure abt ebay.where can i find them here?
