I hope it lasts for more than just one model run I just renewed the lease on my ZRE Corolla for another 4 years, if I knew this was coming I would have made it shorter but then again maybe it will take a few years between being announced and actually appearing in showromms

But would we get the Blade or the Master/Master-G? The article only mentions Blade (which has the 2AZ) but then contradicts that by saying it is V6 powered, which is the Blade Master/Master G. It would be akin to saying we get a V6 Camry when we really get the Aurion.

Tried squeezing info from my guy today while i was at Toyota. Nothing yet on Blade/Master. Hes heading off to Toyota conf next week, he will try to get some answers for me. :spiteful: Maybe BKS might know more? All i got was the API for the Rukus (Rumion)...

It looks like toyota are waiting to see what the other manufactuers are bringing out as a hot hatch

Also I suppose they will want to see how the Rukus fairs before unleashing the weapon know as the BLADE !!

I would be very tempted to get a Blade as absolute power corrupts absolutely

All i got out of my insider is that Toyota have 2 "Niche" vehicles in the works for the end of the year. For sure i would say the FT-86 is one, can the other be the BLADE??!! Apparently Toyota HQ were very tight lipped about this, and refused to give out any names or models...

God I want both the Blade and the FT-86. But if it comes down to it, I would only get the Blade if it comes as all-wheel or rear-wheel drive. Given that the FT-86 is definitely going to be rear-wheel drive I'm more tempted by that until more details of the V6 Corolla come out.

FT86 won't be ready by the end of the year going by all statements made by Toyota Japan.

The Blade has been in production for a number of years and I doubt they will ghetto mod a chassis to be RWD that was designed to be FWD/4WD. The 4WD version is available in the straight 4 engine (2AZ-FE) only.

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.

      Cheap modifications for 2006 Corolla sedan

      Hey all! Am new to the world of Corollas (and Toyotas). Acquired a 2006 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport sedan in February 24. Manual, done approx 178000 klms now - and stock. Car is in fairly good condition. And really surprised at how well it does drive for an 18 year old car. Anyway, looking at getting some initial modifications done just to get back into working on cars, and also making the car more fun to drive. What are some things that you recommend? Pod Filter? Exhaust? Suspension? Any particular brand names? I did a quick search on ebay, and found Max Speeding Rods branded suspension - but couldnt find much else. Thanks all 🙂

      1gr tone wheel...

      G'day all, I had a head gasket replaced on my 1grfe 5 months ago. Since then I've been having power issues and 3 weeks ago it completely cut out. After a bit of mucking around, I was able to find a mechanic who told me the tone wheel had slipped back on the crankshaft, which has thrown the sensor... it's also bent the tone wheel and filled the crak angle sensor with metal shavings. The ute has just ticked over 300k, I'm wondering if I give up on it and buy a 1kd, or look into chasing up the idiots who put it back together after the head gasket.(they did a cv boot at the same time and held it in place with fencing wire and zip ties. Not the brightest bunch) Anything thoughts or sympathy appreciated.
