Various little things - Toyota Caldina, 1.8 L, 2004

Whenever possible, purchased a leather steering wheel and an automatic transmission handle from the gt-handicap. It has become prettier, the 1.8 version has a very simple interior. I myself found problems with the installation of the steering wheel. Now there is not enough optitron for complete happiness. There was an opportunity to screw it in from the same gt-handicap, but some icons on the instrument panel are missing (the automatic transmission mode is on - 3, 2, L). I haven't come across versions from ZT yet.

Also, from the top-end Kalda, a native sub is delivered under the driver's seat (power 80W, volume 2.4L). Despite its modest size, the sound decorates the low end quite well. Everything is installed just Changed my head - a 2din radio tape recorder Panasonic CQ-VW100W5 was installed, the simplest version - without usb, Bluetooth and others. The main requirement was the presence of an information input for connecting reversing cameras (overtaking). I don't watch movies, I burned one DVD with mp3 and forgot. Minus that wma does not lose, and so is a normal mafon for his money. A color overtaking camera KPC-230 with a focus of 16 is installed, it slightly enlarges, which allows you to see the situation even better when overtaking than at 8 and 12 focal lengths. The camera is mounted on the left pillar. The plans include a reversing camera. Of course, the result of a standard system with markup cannot be achieved, but still better than nothing.

Installed radar detector Crunch 213B (the simplest model in the line). The thing is quite useful on the highway, rarely helps in the city. Connecting through the cigarette lighter does not really decorate the interior, so they connected directly to the ignition.

In the spring, spacers were ordered and purchased through drivefast.ru (Kir-ka) in front (Cusco 193540A) and rear (C-ONE), a low resistance air filter in a regular place (TRD 17801-ZE200). Many will say that there is zero sense from the filter, I will not argue - I put it purely for the sake of experiment. Feels like the machine went more fun))), tested with Honda Torneo (2l, 150sil) - goes on a par. And in general, it goes well for 1.8 on the machine, only in the summer the heaviness of 17 cast wheels is felt, and they also affect the consumption - in the summer in the city there were no less than 12 liters, on the highway 7-8 liters. The most effective tuning will be a replacement for forging (and not spacers, filters))), but so far it does not work ...
