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.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP
