Not that I approve of speeding, but I am interested to see what types of speeds you guys have had your 'tivos at....

My max to date was 175.....had to slow down when I thought I saw a speed camera....but turned out to be a Telstra Van

Ive had my rolla up to 180km before, its not a sportivo though, just a little ascent. :D

Took a while to get it up to that though, after 170 the acceleration was pretty minimal.

Are you talking Kph? If so, I bounce off the limit almost everyday. I've gone to 190kph pretty often. Thats where the fun stops. I dont have 240 on my clock like you guys, my speedometer stops at 180kph but actually cuts out at 190kph. Real easy to get to. I hit that in 4th gear at 8000 rpm. Really exhilarating to hit those high notes. I wish I could go through 5th and 6th too.

230 on a cold morning, was about 3 degrees. Redlined every gear except 6th, there was still a few hundred rpm left. Its cold morning like that, when the weather makes you feel good about spending $500 on a CAI.

On the road, 110klm/hr as per highest hwy speed limit.

On the track, 180klm/hr (calder raceway).

SPEED KILLS. KEEP IT ON THE TRACK PEOPLES.

220 in Craigs, 195 in mine

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Aus spec Sportivo speed limited to 215 kph? I'm sure that I had read that somewhere. If that's the case, (and the speed is sensed at the ECU - not the speedo which may be a tad optimistic) then you should feel it go flat at that speed and cycle slightly as the engine soft cuts.

Guys

all you need is a cop to read this and they might book you

Anyways 220 on the way home from Sydney :D

You'd be fine if you had said "220 on the way home from Sydney via the Stuart Highway in the Nothern territory where there are no speed limits"

In know that's what you meant.

Maybe this is a stupid question, doesn't the police need evidence to charge people??

We just say something in the forum, is this still an offence???

What if I say I went 300km/hr last night which is impossible for a Stivo, :lol: , can the police still can charge me??? <_<

As moderator I would suggest this thread is totaly unappropriate. Please desist as this does not promote the car in any shape or form. In fact if anything it could cause more harm. All it takes for some insurance company to see this then they may start reviewing how much you pay on your policys and others as well as making the car a possible target for cops. Please be sensible at some of the speeds you state ..one slight thing wrong and you are dead possibly taking someone out with you. I am not saying I am totally innocent but please have some sense. It all will do if you get caught is that you will end up in jail with huge fines. Take it to a track where it is a lot safer.

Internet legend has people being charged through video evidence of their antics posted on forums.

That said, Many years ago when radar guns were first introduced in Australia, I was stopped for doing 888 kph in a 60 kph zone. The police officer and I agreed that as delightful a speed that would be from a Lotus Cortina, it was a bit of a stretch to prove if I decided to contest the offence in the Magistrate's Court. We mutually agreed that the radar unit was at fault and he sent me on my merry way. The funny thing was that as I was leaving he asked me to "take it easy in future lad". Which to this day I still believe that he thought I was speeding (which I probably was).

Peekeay this is exactly why people get ****** of with forums you start a thread and then the mods jump on you, if you are on the forums chances are you have a car and have a licence and then its your call weather you speed or not, if people choose to share then thats there business IMO at times on the forums threads are moderated WAY TOO HEAVY

Guys, that's the job of the moderator and that's to moderate the forum. There were complains from members before that it was not moderated enough and that we were not doing our job, but I guess when we do do it, no ones happy about it either. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I think that Peekay was just trying to caution everyone about speeding, in other words, just doing his job. Every forum you go has their moderators and some are way way more narchy than any one of us here. Besides, this is a sensitive topic to begin with and it's not the first time that we've debated about it.

So let's chill guys and drive safely (whatever that may mean to you), especially during this holiday season. :D

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
