  1. I took my 03 sportivo to Toyota for the 80k service (478 **** dollars) and the MIL was on and they told me I needed a new o2 sensor - another $410 plus fitting but there was no stock. I told them not to do a **** thing with it and I got another o2 sensor from Autobarn for $110. Now the piece of **** is running in a limp mode - I bought a ELMScan 327 but am having problems clearing the code (it doesnt appear to have logged a code). Is there a quick way of resetting the ECU?
  2. GGG... I think they're king springs - not 100% sure though... I had the dudes at Keith4Wheels do the wheels and lowering.. As for the ride, you can notice it a bit, but I wouldnt say that it's really bad... I live on the southside and the roads are fukn crap and I'd say you'd feel the bumps probably around 15% more, but the improvement it made to handling is excellent. I'd recommend it to anyone, heaps less understeer!!! Damn front wheel drives
  3. I cant post any pictures for some reason!!!!! Here's a link http://www.creditcollections.com.au/corolla.jpg Sorry about the size, I'm too fukn lazy to resize it and stuff..
  4. Damn your right eddy... seeing thost pictures (& they do look impressive guys - well done) I regret trading my stivo. What was I thinking.... It's time i should right the wrong.... Selling 1 slighly used metalic blue RX8, will be happy to do a direct swap for sportivo (and no I am not talking about you bill)..... Any takers... Anyone :P :P :D :D :P :D But seriously though I probably would not have traded the stivo if Toyota Australia had shown a little more loyalty to their car and customers. Best bang for your buck in my mind still, just a pity I had to pay for my own clutch to be able to use it, not to mention the Dash that creaked/groaned/rattled & vibrated even over the top of my radio. She and I divorced out of frustration not because I did not love her no more! Still can't beat that lift experience though ← Hah! I traded my series4 rx7 in on my sportivo 14 months ago, it's saved me truckloads in fuel but I really do miss the performance of the rotor!!
  5. I'm running Koya 18x7.5's on my sportivo with 225/35's.. I've noticed no difference in performance, I worked out the rolling diameter to be different by a bit over 3cm, so there's bugger all in it. I also had it lowered 4cm. My insurance is with RACQ and it was like $800/year (I'm 25). I dont have any problems with turning circles or anything like that
