What made me sell the liberty? Um. Mostly Unreliability and the amount of km's on it. In the last 2 weeks of owning the liberty i spent 5 grand fixing it lol.

The rims on the rolla are 18" Advanti's

Unshure of what type of tyres are on it sorry :S Im actually picking the car up tomorrow morning from the gold coast.

Mods: for now i dont want to do anything major. I wanna put a sound system in it, paint the brake calipers, eye lids. Exhaust and CAI probably will do to start with.

I just wanted to ask everyone a question. What would you expect to pay for my 03 Corolla Sportivo with 61 000km's. 12 months rego, with 1 owner and all log books filled out and up to date. Car is in perfect condition. I was just wondering to see if i got a good deal or if i got ripped off. Thanks

Dave~

P.s - Thanks for a nice welcome. Im glad i could find a good place with nice people who actually know what they are talking about unlike most Boostcruising members lol. Im sure u all know what i mean. lol.

Congrats on the purchase mate and good luck with it all. For a 03 sportivo with the info you gave and from my experience a gr8 buy would be under $16k but common price they hold round $18k, thats in nsw as well.

ps. Your wheels look tops.. I'd say 18s on a rolla is the shizz, haven't experience ride comfort though.

Happy stay mate!

It still is missing boost. I mean, lift is great but i still need more ;)

Of course the liberty was much better handeling aswell but thats to be expected going from an AWD turbo to a front wheel drive lol. I have the HID's installed now :) at the moment i have to slow down with the mods as i need to pay a very big dental bill :( you know how it is. lol

Then when i have some cash spare im doing CAI, exhaust, painting brake calipers, eyelids and grill. Then ill hold off for a year or 2 and then turbo time :)

thanks for comments guys.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
