Hi Guys,

Just thought i would let you know i found this review on the Corolla Run-X Rsi which is the Corolla Sportivo in Australia.

Apparently the Torque has been slightly changed, in short there is more torque available in lower revs than the previous models. Subtle changes but sure to make a difference in
0-100 times.

Hi Bruster,

I wonder if this has anything to do with the ECU recall we all had done on the pre-face lift s'tivo.

As after the ECU recall was done it exaclty matches the description mentioned in the article and i believe the ECU recall was done on the new s'tivo's from factory so owners wouldnt really have to do / know anything about it.

cheers
Bill

In addition to the revised ECU and air cleaner caps (as part of the recall process), the new RunX RSi's also include a slightly revised exhaust system.

The exhaust system used on the Aussie spec is slightly different due to the difference emission regulations between countries.

There is NO change from the pre-facelift stivo to the post-facelift stivo.

Most stivo's on this forum have modded there exhaust systems, and most who update to the post-facelift stivo would do the same, therefore this article is redudant.
