i just bought a pod filter for my 2004 corolla (facelift) and i thought id install it myself, i opened the bonnet then i said to myself 'what do i do now!'.

I looked at the filter that was already there and there were cables runing to it, so i kinda didnt know where to go from there and how to even remove it!

cheers

As someone else has said, you can't really just slap it on the intake due to the MAF sensor.

Unfortunately, the tuning support for the Sportivo doesn't appear to be very strong at all so finding a Cold Air Intake kit in Australia is near impossible unless you want to pay big bucks. It seems the only place to get one for a semi-decent price at the moment is the States. So the model over there is the Matrix XRS, but i'm not sure how well things line up in our Rollas when it comes to the install. I got a quote from CES racing (Jan 2014) up in QLD for a CAI to my door in Melb and it was bang on AUD $600. Insane.

I've been trawling around for a Simota CAI (part no. SIM-AN1CA-53) but can't seem to find one in Australia. I did get a quote of AUD $169 for the item from the Simota supplier, Australian Auto Accessories in Nunawading, but they are completely out of stock with an unknown date of getting more. Don't be tempted to buy the Simota kit that Vic Performance Parts has listed on ebay also because they are definitely out of stock as they just issued me with a refund.

I brought one from EBay.com and sent from USA within 10 days for $150 Aussie dollars and fitted to my 05 Corolla Sportivo without a problem

Yeeah I wasnt really wanting power gains, just liked the sound of a pod filter so I guess ill just have to leave it all standard :/

Well your situation is easy. Do what I did and buy the K&N 33-2252 panel filter for your stock airbox and remove the factory snorkel. It makes a little more noise if you are using a genuine Denso filter. The Denso filters are very dense. I can't say I have noticed any power gains at all from this though. If you want to go FULL GHETTO intake for noise, rubber band or cable tie the filter in place on the top part of the airbox and tilt it away from the bottom part which is bolted in. That's getting pretty desperate, but i've seen it done on youtube. The K&N panel filter is $60+ not including shipping.

brendon08, nice. Any problems at all with the seller or install?

      Upgrade from 2012 to 2023

      I have recently bought a 2012 Prado and was wondering if i could buy a 2023 strat write off prado and upgrade both interior and exterior so all the functions from the 2023 works regardless of the newer features and buttons. I'm planning to upgrade not just the exterior, I'm also planning to upgrade the interior dash and stuff as well.

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon
