anyone seen or installed one on the Stivo ?

I've done it on my T-Sport, which is damn close to the Stivo :whistling:

It's a pretty simple job, really, takes about an hour all in all depending on how my work you have to do in order to fit the button :)

Yes, Odd did quite a nice job on his start button too. It looks like it came that way. I think he used an S2000 start button too.

Scroll halfway done on the page I've linked to underneath and you'll see some pictures of my install. I think I have some more as swell that I didn not put up.

I used a Honda S2000 start button. Set me back about £65 inc. shipping (mind you..that was from England to Norway). Installation does not really require any special skills. You gotta take apart the center console and the covers underneath the steering wheel. Then butcher the ignition cable (hehe), do some easy wiring (instructions comes with the button) and some plastic work where you will be putting the button. Before you know it it's installed :)

Hey supra you should do a write up !!

Maybe I will... :whistling:

What did u do with the parts for your lighter ?

It's in a box somewhere in my garage...hehe It will never go back in the same whole unless I buy a new plastic cover. The button I used had a larger diameter so there were power tools involved :clap:

First linky should work just fine.

Second one would also work, but you'd probably see the wire when it crosses over from the gearknob to the stock gaiter. Minor issue, though.

Is the starter for the corolla 12v ?

What do you mean? The ignition signal is 12V. The starter runs off the 12V battery. Does that cover it? :)

Here's one I did on my 1ZZ-FE a while ago.

Got the button from UK eBay and it's still working.

with these you still need to put the key in and turn it all the way (just not start position) yeah ? almost seems like more effort having the start button....love the look of them though just be nice if could get it to work more like factory fitted starter buttons....i think new xr5 the key just needs to be within a distance of the car etc...can leave it in pocket...boss's beamer you have to stick the whole thing in the dash before you can press the button

True..you need to turn on the ignition with the carkey. I haven't looked into bypassing the immobilizer, which obviously would be the ulitmate solution. Would be cool to either have keyless ignition, or rally-style flipswitch and then just hit the startbutton :g: Don't think my insurance company would be too thrilled about a fliswiptch solution on the ignition though...hehe

Off topic, but oh well.. ;)

They were bought locally, but are now off the car. Check the thread or my site in a couple of weeks time. I am replacing the ones depicted with Redline Tuning lifters which appear to be of much better quality and more importantly, better design! I already got them, just have to find some time to hit the workshop...

There were some new car models built this way but didn't pass the freaking ADR which is why they still require u to stick something in.

Deprived politicians i must say. Trying to make their existance worth while and valid .....

Depends on the car really, not all cars require you to slot in the "key", you just need to have it in close proximity.

ZR6 Aurion doesnt require to take the key out of your pocket to unlock or start the car.

Im sure other models are like this as well but i would rather not think about what other cars have over what mine doesnt!

      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.
