Auris is sold now after owning it since new for 10 years. Will never forget her! My new car can be found here. Packed with original parts waiting for new owner: Some of the last pictures I shot for the ad:

Hey Tavy! Thanks for support and advice you've given. Unfortunately, the new car isn't Toyota... Will update about it a bit later :)

To update and close this thread I would like to thank everyone on this community who's been following the progress and helping. My Auris is for sale now as I got a new car recently. Auris was and still is a great car. I made it even better by modifying it. Things it's still lacking is powerful engine, comfort and good interior. It also was leaking from rear end couple of times (rear lights, air vents behind the bumper, then rear door). After taking it apart and drying and sealing for several times I got a new car. Decided there is no sense to invest in this car anymore. Could have just kept dr

The car was originally white then wrapped in vinyl.

Modded Hybrid from Finland:

Already used two sets of GoodYear Eagle F1 in 225/40/18 but as I am more lowered now with coilovers they were rubbing so I decided to go for 215/40/18. They did not produce them in this size so I decided to change and went for Yokohama Advan Sport V105. Let's see how will they perform. Ordered from the UK BTW (Camskills) :) I also bought couple of Edding 750 markers in order to paint the texts on the sides of the tyres. Wanted to get something like this (I know these are stickers, but you get the idea. Car is GT86 BTW. But my resul

New year new projects. But first one of my problems. I experinced this with my custom Goodridge brake lines. I sent them original lines to make copies of but obviously the guys messed things up. First time the front line got broked after rubbing against something and Goodridge sent me new set. After installing it and driving for a year or so I lost my front brakes almost totally because the line was worn out again and I did not notice it in time. Almost an accident but was lucky so everything went fine. Now I am having a dispute with Goodridge and they promised to return the money. Let's see w

So it's done. There are "hooks" on both sides of the sensor cover. I "lifted" them a bit with a small flat screwdriver, one side at a time. Finally the cover popped off without damage. I put some black electric tape on the inside, mounted the cover back and lights started to work as I wanted them to. In AUTO mode they turn on every time the engine starts and turn off when engine is off.

Here are colour codes for non-UK model. Left lamp: Yellow - blinker Light blue - fog light (on UK model this one is on the right I guess) Red - reverse Green - parking light Blue - brake Right lamp: Light blue - blinker Red - reverse Green - parking light Blue - brake

I will post on here after I've tried.

Yes thanks that trick seems to work. Was just wondering if it's possible to remove the cap and put some tape on the inside then put the cap back on so that it won't be that noticeable.

Long time since I visited the forum last time. Now some updates: Full dark optics done. Now have smoked side blinkers installed. Tried HKS muffler but did not like it because it's louder and not as classy as my Remus. If someone's interested it's for sale now. Installed darker tints on all front windows, even the windshield. Now they're done with 50% Crystalline instead of 70%. Also have 5% dark stripe on top of my windshield. 50% is really dark compared to 70% as the old one had a blue-ish hue and more

No it can be left to AUTO as the lights will turn off with the ignition in AUTO mode now even it's dark outside and they are on while driving. To answer my own question the sensor is inside the car close to the windshield air vent. It's the black "button". I found out by covering it during the daytime and the lights came on. During the night I was pointing it with LED torch and the lights went off. So solution seems to be simple, just cover the sensor with something. Could look better and more stealth if I'd be able to remove the cover and put the tape on the inside, then put the c
