Hi Guys,

I saw the new sportivo today. I could not take any pictures as the dealer was not happy that I was buying from anither dealer. :angry:

The car is basically the same as the old sportivo from the inside especially from the inside

Similarities:

1) dark grey leather trim

2) chorme bits on the side and the middle console

3) same 141kw but a smoother curve for the torque.(improved engine)

4) same 16' rims

Difference

1) Front looks like the levin but has a bodykit

2) has round fog lights

3) the silver "sportivo" badge on the side skirt is no more on the side skirt. It is on the front door and is red in colour.

4) comes with MP3/6 CD in dash system.(no more cassette player)

There volume controls that we predicted are not on the steering wheel.

The price is also the same. Did not get much into it but he stated the it will cost $32000 on the road.

My white sportivo one should be ready for pick up on Monday so I will take pics and post them then :)

Looks Good, it will not disappoint anyone :)

How different is the bodykit between the levin and sportivo??

I was thinking that they would be the same except the sportivo would have some fake metal mesh

You are right it has a thin fake metal mesh on the front left and right sides just under the headlights and has the mesh also on the rear of side skirt as the old sportivo did.

The one I saw was black so the black bits on the front like the fog ligts did not stand out much. I think a lighter colour will look wicked.

It is hard to describe the front bodykit but if you see a levin from the front amd the sportivo you will be able to tell the difference.

Mate, the interior is the same no changes AT ALL apart from the stereo system.

Wish I had pics but that stupid dealer :angry:

      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.
