Hi, Been a while since I have been around and have been missing the Sportivo.

But to get my dose of fun I am now into vintage motocross.

I purchased a 1975 MX400 in racing yellow. For those that know it should be white.

Here is a couple of pics of me from Sunday.

Hope all the Sportivo people are still around and having fun.

Hi Trev,

That's a really tidy bike. It reminds me of my dad's Hodaka back in the 70s. :)

And don't worry, the Sportivo is being looked after. Now enjoying Eibach pro-kit, fake TRD grill and Philips Crystal Vision indicators.

The old rolla is looking great. I like the grill. Yeah I remember the Hodaka bikes. They were produced by a subsidiary of Shell.

Mate had a 100 Dirt Squirt which I bought off him and was promptly made to take it back by my mum.

You should have kept the HODAKA there is one on evil bay for $6500 which seems crazy as I think I only paid $250 for the one I purchased.

      New member seeking advice for parts

      Hi guys! I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it! The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement? I don't mind if is not oem part as far as it works 😅 I'm based in Brisbane if it makes some kind of difference Pictures attached as reference

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
