Congrats mate! But silver again :blink::blink::blink: :D :D :lol:

Mike really doe's take care of you doesn't he! There's not a nicer bloke in the car business.

Lets just hope the new Stivo is minus the issues of your old one.

Were you having a lot of problems with your 04' Feb. built Stivo mate otherwise i cannot see why you would want to swap a 6 month old Stivo for another 04' Ausgust Stivo? Maybe for another car yes but for the same car? :huh: Unless it doesn't cost you a single cent for the swap. But you would now have to go through the running in process again! Anyway, its your car and you are still a Stivo driver which is always good to hear.

Btw you said the New Stivo will cost too much and leather is option. Is that a fact and do you know the rrp for the new Stivo next year as a friend of mine is thinking of getting one next year.

Cheers,

Zee

The last "old style" Silver 2004 plated vehicle in the country.

Hmmm, not true. Northpoint Toyota (SA) has had one on their lot for 4 months, awaiting recall parts.

Was still there on Friday, waiting for an owner. Maybe not as new as yours, but still a silver "old style".

The Toyota Corolla Sportivo is the best bang for you buck vehicle, and also the ones with the most features. And that's why I bought another one.

I have considered other vehicles, such as the SP23, Focus, Impreza, 206 GTi180 etc; and having heard their horror stories, the Stivo has far less issues.

Then again the HSV R8 and Commodore SS came close, but with their problems of oil leaks and pre-mature detanation of their engines, rear tyres wear out in 20,000klms. No thanks.

I will keep my lovely new Sportivo, and will be buying another vehicle in the next 12 to 18 months, a Honda Civic Hybrid, and the Stivo will be right next to it in the same garage.

If I had money, I would keep the current one I have, and have two.

Honda Civic Hybrid is cool! I want one too but there was none at my dealership today when i went in to have a look. Considering getting one in the very near future. It is cheap too for a Hybrid and its a Honda Civic! I think it is a better hybrid as compared to Toyota's Prius. Not just in price but also in looks and handling (double wishbone) plus Honda cars are almost fully reclycable if you are really green :D

Rang them, Build 2003, Compliance 2004.

OK, I stand corrected. I was however just repeating what one of the (obviously lying dirtbag) sales guys told me last Friday - that the car on their lot was 4 months old (i.e. complianced around May). Clearly that car has been kicking around longer than he suggested.

Anyway, I'm all for people upgrading every 6 months. Keep up the good work.

Why? Because I can, and the new one will cost a lot more, and leather becomes an option.  Looks dreadful.....

Just wondering where you found out this information?

If toyota is going to bump up the price an have leather only as an option then im really going to reconsider purchasing a new one :(

All the information ive been hearing says that toyota are only going to increase the price a little but keep all the key features of the old model....

hey sport1vo, good choice! i'd deposited and now waiting for my new rolla'stivo to arrive! the guys from the 2 dealers that i went to told me that it'd be here around Oct/Nov so hurray, no next year bs :) :P as for the price, it'd be a tad increase, prolly in 'hundreds' and Quicksilver was right, leather is "standard", thanks ***! i just wish that we can choose our seat color tho! damn, dark colored seat with my black stivo! :( off the topic, is black a right choice? i heard that u'd take extra care and regular cleaning to make it look decent! :unsure: damn the waiting is killing me... :ph34r:

Black is THE choice for me :ph34r:

It is like a really nice chick: high maintence but wicked to look at :D :D

Silver with black windows is a really classy look, and heaps less washing (hides the dirt well) ;)

Depends on what you are after, I don't regret getting black :D and when you give it a nice polish :o

As far as extra cleaning goes, if you dont need it absolutley mint, a trip to the car wash and a blast with the suds gun, followed by a rinse (NO BRUSH) keeps it neat, with a wash every couple weeks.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
