Lol. I assure you we are not one and the same. I couldn't think of a better name and I wanted to keep all my forum personas different. Thanks for the welcome!

Panic Blue, I love that bishop blue colour as well. Go Toyota for splashing around with different colours! :)

[Saiya]

Welcome!

Yeah there is another member blue_steel ;)

Heres his ride, same color and model as yours.

Isn't that a cascade blue?

I've a conquest, not an ascent.

I will think about changing my username in good time if that is possible.

Hi all,

I'm yet another newbie. Always loved Toyotas and fell in love with the sw20. At the time I was a uni student and couldn't afford one so I got the AW11. Had it for a number of years and fell in love for ever. Had to sell her to live in the land of her birth. Got another one when I came back after 5 years...

Whats with all these sportivos out there? Must check one out to see why everyone has one.

Saw you can fit a 7AFE with 4AGZE pistons with a 20valve head and turbo - 300hp. Oh what a feeling that would be! So that's my project, and if anyone can help out with details feel free to add a comment on the MR2 forum.

Umm, personal info. hmm. Live in Melbournes outer east, 31, love cruising - if we need milk, I go on a cannon ball run. (showing my age? ) Smokey and the bandit? Roadrunner? :( . . . Oh I give up! B)

Will hopefully see the MR2 guys and gals out there on a cruise day!

[IMB055]

G'day all,

Another newbie here, from Wollongong NSW.

I have a white 2003 Sportivo with 18" wheels, 30mm lowered springs (which it needed badly!) and dark tints. Oh, and it's got cruise control, which was a bit of a surprise. (Haven't got any pics yet other than those I took on my phone but I will post some soon)

Aside from that, it is as it left the factory - and to the SP20's I was looking at buying at the time this little baby makes me feel everyday (even below 6200rpm). Loving that Toyota build quality!!

I have previously owned a few other cars that were decent, a couple of modified MX5's, a Cordia turbo (back in the day!) and a Commodore SS but the Sportivo is perfect for what I need for now.

Anyhow, I'm off to browse the sticky posts re: cold air intakes as I am chasing a few more KW but realistically just some more intake roar would suit me just fine. Might also do an exhaust later once I get a little bored. And maybe a rear swaybar......hey, you guys go to Wakefield Park???? If so, my Visa may be cruising for a brusing........

Oh, the username is the same as my number plate - I don't really have the ego to go with it, but when a girl that worked for me had MZB05Y, well, I couldn't just let that ride - a quick trip to the RTA showed her that IMB055 :D it was all a bit of fun and now my mates know the plates so they stay!

So hi to everyone here, hope to see you on the street sometime soon

Hey guys!

im fudd. i drive an '06 lux

this is my first toyota. before this i had a Eunos Cosmo, '78 e21 316 (with 2.0l in it) Seat Cordoba and a N12 pulsar.

the seat had a showy stereo install in it and had it at FB2002. the Eunos had a nice stereo winning me many trophys over 2 years in CAASQ (sound quality comps) including Vic champion twice and Aust champ once (and a second)

the Hulix will be bigger and better. got planned a half decent stereo including

Apine 7998r Phantom face

Soundstream Reference 404 and Rubi 502 running the fronts

OZ audio Matrix Elite 2 ways (soon to be 3 ways)

Qmax 6.5in subs x 6 will be mounted in a FG box under and behind the passenger seat

DDz1a will be powering the subs

and full Scosche wireing

all the install will be getting done by the guys at Phatt Audio who are responsible for the Alpine 300c and Eclipe Tarago

ill post pics up when it's getting done :)
