Hi all

This is my first post but have followed the forum for a time

since buying a sportivo (2004 year) not knowing what I was getting into, was

looking to buy a small corolla for my partner after the camry was

written off. That's the back ground so my problem is like a few

others have had LIFT ok took it back to my dealer service manager <_<

says not to rev it to high his feelings are that 4000 rpm is the max :angry:

So any SA members know a good dealer that can fix it. :)

thanks

I always went to Cornes Toyota before I moved, could give them a try, but they are part of the CMI group anyway...?

Welcome - I wish more of the Adelaide owners would pipe up. It gets lonely cruising by yourself...

Anyway, I bought the car from and use Northpoint for service. They are great if you ignore miscellaneous charges for fluids that they don't actually use.

I almost went to Peter Davey on Port Rd for my last service, but chickened out the day before as their service bay was smaller than my garden shed and lacked the look or professionalism.

Haven't used anyone else so can't comment sorry.

sportivo's must be few and far between only seen about 4 down

south and it looks like the dealers don't know how to maintain

them. I can see why they are not more numerous.

Waiting for the dealers head mechanic to get back to me may be he

will be able to help :rolleyes:

Bougt from Peter Davey Main north road and I Get serviced there - absolutely no problems with them.

Whenever the car needs a wash, I go and get a service ;)

oz_viking > Their workshop is actually across the road and behind their used car yard! The entrance is deceptively small, but they have a huge area you cannot see until you step into the workshop.

Out of couriosity, What is the average price you are paying for a service?

I think all mine have been between $130 and $160.

ausportivo - welcome to the forum!

We should try and get together sometime for a little run somewhere - we need to see more than 2 at the same time/place in SA! - What colour did you go for ?

It was Peter Davey's Port Rd service area was talking about - I've never actually noticed their Main North Rd workshop. I may give them a go next time...

I paid $156 for my 20,000 km/12 month service.

Silver the only colour on the lot :lol: 5 stivo's together would be a site thats the most I've seen 3 Silver and 2 Blue in total at different times, did park up next to a Blue stivo at Garden Island but no driver around love to get other drivers veiws on the car

Not being a car enthusiast bought it on the spot not knowing about the Sportivo so I'm on a learning curve thats how I found the forum

      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.
