Not sure if this has been mentioned in other forums... but i'm almost 100% sure i just saw a Sportivo on the ad for ACA tonight at 6:30 on channel 9 (Sydney). Its going to be a story about high powered cars etc... it looked like they had the sportivo on the race track giving it a good work out.. spinning at high speed etc.... i could be wrong... but it looked like it on the ad.

Check it out if you get the chance... it might show a couple of clips of it... or it could just be the intro. I'll record it for those who don't get to see it. (if they show anything).

Wasn't really worth it, well for the sportivo factor anyways. It was about TV commercials and their influence on teenagers... there was one with a corolla (either sportivo or levin) shown where they show the corolla going at a decent speed then just throwing it sideways... but it lasts like 5 seconds or something... I never saw the ad on TV so it must have got rejected or something. If anyone wants it i can post it up... but its really not worth it if you only want it for the corolla factor.

When the current shape Corolla was introduced in late 01/early 02, they had an ad where a sedan, hatch and wagon were travelling through the countryside towards each other and when they came to a junction, they all hit the handbrake and spun in unison. I'm a bit of an ad nut, but I don't remember any others with Corollas spinning.

ACA is on in a few minutes here in Qld ... I'll check it out!

Bubbha, you hit the nail on the head... that is exactly the add they used and there were many complaints at the time that add was released and a big reason why the commercial standards board for motor vehicles was set up... There was also one on the new Holden Ute which was the main concern of the story.

If you ask me, people that drive like fools, are going to do it regardless of the way the vehicle is portrayed in an advert...

I know I am guilty of some tom-foolery when I am on the roads, but not because of any bl00dy ad on TV, its because this is the way I am.

Lets look at the reality of the situation. Certain groups of people wanted the Holden ad *****-canned because the dude was doing circle work in it. I could almost guarentee that 80% of the owners of holden utes, especially SS & Maloo utes are going to want to do some circle-work anyway...

It appears to me like another situation where there is a small group of people that don't have anything better to do with their spare time than complain about something.

The article portrayed I believe a young girl's life that was lost at the hands of immature driving. All I can say to that is that perhaps the people that taught the driver responsible for this incident, be it the young girl or other, should be held accountable for not correctly showing the driver some basic common sense...

When I am a fool in my ride, it is usually on the back roads by myself, not doing doughy's in suburban streets...because of a silly TV ad...

My suggetsion, if you don't like the ad, turn your telly off....

Thanks Buddha..

It's like video games and violence, the worlds most violent people have never watched a violent movie or played video games with a little blood in it. What could be blamed for the Boston strangler, 'PONG'

I thinks people need to realise that people behave and act in ways that are in their nature and are set their long before they see TV ads. Let's take car ads out of the equation and look at the negative influence from other ads...

'McCain Pizza's' make me want to try tight-rope walking on a fishing line...

'Pork' makes me want to dance around the city like a tool...

'Libra Tampons' make me want to waste my wife's supply by playing with them with the cat...

'Bonds Shirts' make me want to strip off in First Class...

'Dri-Nights' make me want to wet the bed...

Like I said, let's turn off the telly if we don't like it.

Geez, isn't TV for "ENTERTAINMENT"

      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.
