Sweet mate.

I bet you are happy. The exhaust will only sound sweeter as the carbon builds up.

I want to do these mods myself.

Why no change in between extractors and cat?

Im just curious thats all, is there no need to change the diameter of the pipe?

I couldnt be happier with my car right now!

Except maybe those springs to have it handling a little better. ;)

You will definately not regret doing these mods to your car. Totally worth it.

As to not changing between the extractors and cat, I couldn't really tell you.

I do know that the stock cat in the Sportivo is quite big for what it is!

And I am pretty sure the piping was 2.25" all the way through, someone correct me if I am wrong.

The replacement from the cat back is now 2.5" which I think is pretty big for a 1.8L.

Maybe ask someone like SB or Northy, they'll definately no more about it! :lol:

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. I'm sure the guys from tonights cruise would have something to say as well. :P

Next thing to do is to take those damn Sportivo badges off, and then get my King Springs installed.

Then, Power FC and Turbo... only kidding. ;)

Cool, thanks Nate.

That is huge pipe for a 1.8L NA.

I guess i will have to stop being lazy and put it up on jack stands and take a look.

Time to start saving for some mods, oh what to do first!

I recommend saving all your pennies, and getting the headers, intake and cat-back exhaust all at once. :P

That is a great recomendation!

I think I will paint the brakes, drop it a bit....

Then do the triple bunger CES style!

Not much change from $2K with dual tip and S/S flanges and K&N filter?

Glad you are stoked with newfound HP. :)

I paid just over $2k for all 3 options installed. That included SS flanges and K&N Filter.

I decided to get the Single Muffler Tip rather than the Dual Tip.

Quick update guys...

Unfortunately my car has been written off due to flood damage from the recent storms here in Brisbame.

A new chapter will begin as I have bought an AE93 SX Hatch.

Will post up some pics and info within the next few weeks.

Thanks to all who showed interest and helped me out with my short journey with my Sportivo.

My insurance company paid out what I had left owing on my loan. Luckily for me I got some extra cash leftover for myself.

I could get another loan for a Sportivo, but at the moment I will struggle to make the repayments.

Oh, how I miss LIFT.

It no longer has the rims that are shown in these pictures.

It now has the stock rims on it.

Also, I got a nice little present on christmas eve when a lady reversed into my car.

The damage isn't huge, but no one likes driving around with dinted doors...

Getting the damage assessed tomorrow, and will hopefully have it repaired ASAP.

Got a new 2" exhaust put on it yesterday, so it sounds a lot better.

      Help with AirCon

      Hi all, need some help please … I have a 2004 Gxi Avalon I recently purchased. Aircon not blowing cold. Fan works, AC light comes on however no cold air. On line people talk about the Relay switch that is usually the problem. Most videos show the Magnetic control relay is the problem and it’s usually abbreviated on fuse box however for the life of me I can’t find it on this Avalon. Any ideas where this relay is found ? Apparently this is the one that kicks in the compressor. Happy to keep troubleshooting however thought I would start with this. All help is MUCH appreciated !

      New Member, I just Love Toyotas,I have a Corolla & a Hilux .

      Hello, I just Love Toyotas, My dear Mother gave me her 2011 Corolla Ascent w/ only 45,000 kms and I just Love having a car with No Issues as in Fixing things up and things going Wrong as they Do with other Well Know cars(Its an Easy Guess what Brands we are talking about here) But to have and drive a car that Nothing Goes Wrong is a seeing Miracle and a Return to Sanity. Now I have purchased a 1996 Hilux 2.4 carby one owner, 205,000 kms new tyres in a Pretty Condition country car. Now I've checked the coolant overflow tank and it is'nt green or red but a murky black which has got me concerned as I checked the radiator contents after a big drive before buying and did'nt see any Bubbles.It has'nt overheated on a big run.The previous owner spent close to $1800.00 on serviceing etc about 6 months ago. Now I'll do a radiator flush proper But what type of Coolant and what Brand do you People recommend and anything else for that matter. Thank You for your time and advice. Mark W S.

      GVM UPGRADE FOR LC300 SERIES GR-SPORT

      I have a GR-S with a JMACX 4200 GVM - the key component to answer your question is the electronic version of the alpha dampers. its a bit of a double edged sword - the drive mode wheel now only controls throttle response and transmission/streering gremlins, as the Toyota dampers are gone, however the replacement supersedes function quite nicely. You get a cute little panel that can operate the shocks in different ways. You can set your baseline firmness for each shock, and either lock this in ORRRR turn it to adaptive mode and feel the outside dampers firm up around corners, front ones firm whilst braking etc. It presumably uses a 2-axis accelerometer to tell which corner to do what. You can even get to display the data it’s utilising to make the realtime changes. so… this seems to work like the Toyota system - in my opinion, it feels less ponderous than the factory suspension, but the relatively inconsequential issue of the drive mode not controlling the shocks can trigger the OCD amongst us. I’ve only had OME suspension prior to JMACX - I must say I’m overwhelmed with how much engineering has gone into the system. Driving the vehicle around, it feels like it’s dominating the road, rather than timidly subbing. Coming from a 200 that felt like As mine is black with an ARB bar and BFG 35’s, it’s also somewhat intimidating - which has its advantages at the school drop off - and its disadvantages as I’m pretty sure most drivers just think I’m another obnoxious black monster truck driver with a loud snorkel and exhaust. im actually not that obnoxious. have I even answered your question? I know of no system that fully integrates that knob. oliver - very tired IMG_4387.dng IMG_4391.dng
