but i sooooo want to see some aftermarket kit on this corolla or the new is250 tho.. c-one, trd, bomex...... oooooooo yehhhh~!!

until then.. its still not in my next car list :P

Australia

The new Corolla will be introduced to the Australian market on 18th May 2007. It will be available in both sedan and hatchback models, with more safety features and higher levels of luxury. The new 1.8-litre 2ZR-FE Dual VVT-i - with variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust camshafts - will be the only engine available for the Australian model.

does that mean.. we have a different corolla to the jap again... muffler to the right and stuff... and some aftermarket part wont fit it... :unsure:

Hrrrm no sports model? Disappointing Toyota.

It'll come...

its got to, its hot hatch craze of the centry even honda is bringing the type r

Well there is all the talk that TRD are going to be doing a Corolla next year (why it should take six months to hot up an international car is a bit beyond me, maybe there trying to put an Aurion engine into it, Toyota Aust seems to be putting it into everything else)

xploshun I didnt want to quote the whole lot, just the end.

"does that mean.. we have a different corolla to the jap again... muffler to the right and stuff... and some aftermarket part wont fit it... unsure.gif"

I think it means we only get the one type of motor, whereas japan may get a choice of 2 engines. It should mean that some stuff will fit if it is for the same motor....maybe

The current 'performance' in the UK is the 2.2D4 turbo which puts out 178hp/132kw. It sucks how we only get the 1.8L Dvvti . How about the 2.4L outta the camry or the 3.5L outta the aurion!!

But at the moment the current craze in OZ is economy and the 1.8L sits right in the middle. I don't think it will be revolutionary with an engine that is pretty much a slightly more economical version of the 1zzfe.

It could be wishful thinking Rob, even if they brought one out I'm not sure how they would make it look sporty... As you said, it's a bit freakish in the looks department.

Also there are no new high-compression VVTL-i engines from Toyota so they would either have to bust out forced induction on the existing 2ZR (ala TRD Aurion) or shoehorn something bigger in there... 2.4L from the Camry would be like copying the 2.4L Lancer wouldn't it?

What to do what to do........

Wow, the Levin SX is a great price. Now I have the decision of deciding wether to buy the Levin SX, or a 05 Stivo when I upgrade later in the year...

Dammit.

hmmm, yeah, what to do, what to buy....

does anyone have any pic's?

EDIT: don't worry, just checked toyota website and there's pic's there....

hmm, now i can't decide what to get...

Guess i'll also wait till i see the new rolla in person...

Yes I have it on authority we will have a TRD corolla by the end of this year and the production model is to be a FWD 2 litre turbocharged item with approx 200kw.....

I was chatting with a head honcho at the dealer roadshow today and he says its in the testing phase with neil bates as we speak.

Will load some pics tonight

I have to say the sedan actually looks better than the hatch. Especially the wintow line, looks more chopped. I think ill steer clear for now and wait for a hot model.

As for ultra conservative Toyota making a 200kW version, I seriously doubt it. Altho I have heard the suspension in the Japanese "Blade" version (AWD 2.4L) has been set up for a V6 powerplant. So maybe TRD will bring out an AWD Aurion engined Corolla to take on the Golf R32. More than likely it will be a 1.8L Turbo with around 140-150kW. But why not do both like VW.

AND WHERE IS THE TWO DOOR!!! DAMN YOU TOYOTA AUS!!!

:lol:

your "Head Honcho" needs to pull his head out of his a$$.

The Bates TTR Rally team DID NOT win the contract for the TRD models in Australia. Why would they be testing them, they have much better, more important things to do.

I bet my sportivo that the car they are testing is there S2000 Rally car which is a 2 litre beams engine.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
