New Levin SX and ZR gets front sports seats, but ofcourse Toyota only did the fronts which is fine but at least re-trim the rears to suit, great seats but interior now looks crap with two designs..

Those seats are belonged to RS Version of Japanese Auris, not a new thing, and they also got lower suspension(not in Australia), why don't they just directly import the RS version? 1.8 engine with 108kw Valvematic.. http://toyota.jp/aur...e/rs/index.html

They may belong to the RS Auris in JP, but that doesn't mean they're not a new thing to us in Australia, for Levin SX / ZR.

thats fair enough P_T. I was on the whirlpool forums and someone recently purchased one for 30k drive away.

I do understand your frustration, i think most corolla owners on here do, but most of us have just accepted that it is a corolla.

Lets just hope toyota does choose to enter the hot hatch market.

Thanks for understanding. I really don't want to sound like a Toyota basher in a Toyota Owners Club forum. lol

Maybe the dude in Whirlpool bought the Levin SX and not the ZR?

Anyway, I'm gonna try emailing Toyota and ask them if there's any plan for a more sporty Corolla hatch if not a HOT one. If you guys are wishing for a more sporty Corolla too, one that you can buy brand new, I would suggest contacting Toyota as well to let them know that there is enough interest for them to bring one in Australia.

Edit: Just emailed Toyota to enquire about the possibility of a new sportier Corolla hatch. Let's see what they have to say. You guys should email them too.

I'd be happy with the side skirts at this stage. I see rear spats too :ph34r:

yeah sideskirts + rear spats + rear spoiler would do me for the time being, but really... that front lip just tops it of with moar sekz.

Add the Modellista front garnish corza and you'll be sweet! :spiteful:

And about the seats, interesting but IMO buying a set of Recaro's would be a better option like others have said. :)

Nice seats! Agree it's a little late on Toyota's part and buying Recaro's could be an equal and possibly cheaper route.

haha maybe if I win the lotto. I think that would be the last thing on my list to get done.

that's the Modellista front lip from the S package

http://toyota.jp/customize/auris/modellista/index.html

Ahh I see. Me likey

yup. personally I'd still opt for the TRD front lip. for us ascent owners, we'd need to buy the levin 2-piece lip, then the modellista lip as well.. end up costing around the same (or even more)..

      ST-162 front door-glass seal availability

      Hi all, my wife has a 1988 ST-162 Celica which I have been lovingly caring for since we met 25 years ago. It is in VGC, but of late the wind noise at freeway speeds has become much louder, and with the current wet weather the front doors are leaking rain through the 'seal' point between the window glass and the door seals. The doors are hanging in the proper position and the windows do not seem to be unduly loose in their carriers. I am trying to find a new set of door seals to try to fix the problem, but have had no success anywhere. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated! My mobile is 0427 478874, or reply here!

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..
