Hey guys,

I have never been to thailand before, but whilst im on holiday i wont be able to help myself from sneeking away from the gf to seek out sportivo parts?

Before i leave i want to have a list made up of things i could possibly bring back. But i dont know what they have in the way of parts over there or where would be the best place to get them from. If any one knows of shop names or addresses, please forward them on.

Dont want to really bring anything back that wont fit in a suit case!

What is the 2005 Corolla Sportivo called in Thailand?

Some things already on the list are:

Intake's / CAI kits

stubby antenna

trd knobs

slim wind shields

wing tips

eye lids / tail lids

led globes

trd badges / Black toyota badges

short shifter

angle eyes / HID kit

Please give me more ideas......

If you have parts numbers as well please add them.

Just wondering, where in Thailand are you planning to go to?

As the hatchback body style isn't offered in Thailand (Not even as a JDM import. Most South East Asian markets have a preference for sedans over hatchbacks.), some Corolla Altis parts will fit, while some won't.

General parts like bulbs, badges, LED wing mirror housings, HID kits (Not headlights or taillights, the 2001 - 2007 SEA Corolla Altis have totally different front & rear ends.), gear shift knobs & stubby antenna should be fine.

I'm not an expert on the Corolla Sportivo, but I'm guessing that some Celica engine parts may be compatible as they share the 2Z-GE.

You might want to ask people in Altis-Club & Wish-Mania (I know there's one English speaking member from Bangkok on W-M.) as they would know better.

Thailand didn't get the Sportivo/Runx. They also didn't get the hatch, they only got the sedan called the Altis/Vios. So no CAIs will work due to using different engines.

Stubby antenna are easy to find same with copies of badges/stickers. If you are after genuine the price is no different to here, go to Japan if you want genuine for cheap. You won't find any copies of short shifters or angle eyes. Just buy the globes here so they don't break when the throwers at the airport move your bags around. Black Toyota badges are just off of the Camry Sportivo here, wouldn't know if other markets got them. There is a lot of rice parts over there, there is a car parts shop in MBK in Bangkok, can't remember the level but as of a couple years ago it was the only one in the centre. I know of a half decent place in Phuket Town too.

would this be the same for shopping for parts in Hong Kong?

You're right, Thailand is quite near Hong Kong, and would be great to go shopping if you pass by there! don't miss this chance!

When I was in Thailand at the start of the year I'm pretty sure I saw Corolla's with 2ZZ's, I didn't go looking for parts but I'm fairly certain they were around, although they were sedan and not hatch as previously stated.

That would be a Corolla Altis with an engine swap (Like this car.), as Thailand never got the option of a 2ZZ officially (Only two options, the 1.6 3ZZ or 1.8 1ZZ.).

      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.
