gday guys listen i know out here there know as SPORTIVOS and overseas there RUNX but i recently got a performance car mag and didnt notice till i got home that is was a new zealand mag. anyway as i went through it i came across an article about the stivo anyway just a write up about when they were getting released over there.

what i found funny was the pix they had on it had GT badges and not SPORTIVO or RUNX and the article also states its called the GT.

anyway what i wanna know is can ya get these GT badges from anywhere and if so could someone let me know where. as me being me i wanna be different to evryone else who has sportivo or runx badges.

thanks guys.

Contact a Toyota Dealer in New Zealand the GT (Sportivo) was only on the market for a very short time. I did this when I bought my Honda Parts. Works like a dream.

ive only got the GT pix in the mag i have but i dont have a scanner or anything.

and ive been on new zealand sites but its now called the runx over there.

i also got onto the performance mag but no pix online.

i might do what peekay said and try to get in contact with a toyota dealer in new zealand and see if i can get the same badge.

but they look very similar to the GT badges on the fords but more like the old XY GT ford not quite as big as the new ford GT-P ones.

but theylook good on the pic i have in this mag.

if i can find a pix or get mine scanned ill post it here for anyone interested.

The Corolla GT was only produced to order also so very small volumes and only a couple over there in dealers to test drive. I think they ended up just being rebadged Sportivos from OZ, but I could be wrong. I think I know the mag you are talking about and, read that article, They actually give it a good wrap unlike the narrow minded journos over here who expect everything to be one of the big 3 (Commodore, Falcon or Magna).

      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.
