Firstly congrats :)

I would do simple things first.

Rims & Rubber, Lowering, Stereo. in no particular order.

With any mods, it depends on your budget and location. You in Sydney? There are heaps of places, but more info is required

Let us know how you go and if your Sydney, i'll take you round to some places to get your gear :)

Welcome!

Your easiest conversion would be the 2ZZ 141kw motor out of the Sportivo, and if you need more shove than this you can turbo, or supercharge it.

Speed costs money - how fast do you want to go? :)

Congrats on the new car - you'll find plenty of good info on here for you.

to my knowledge, if you want to have an engine conversion you can only convert to a newer model engine. i.e. in your case the engine must be 2002 and up.

Please correct me if im wrong.

I dun think so... Anyways if u could fit the 2zz engine into the e11 chassis U would have alot of head****s. I wouldn't convert it IMO. Just do external mods and some upgrades for the engine Depending how far n how much u wanna spend ;)

This is unusual for me, but I agree with Modena, look at poor evo7, all that work and still behind a stock sportivo in performance. not saying it doens't look good evan, but still slow

Sure you could do a old celica engine, just like Fensport:

Oh, btw its really freaking expensive and has heaps of custom work.

2ZZ or new car if you want another engine, unless you have gold bricks lying around :lol: .

omg :o 600+ bhp!!!

If that was meant to be an insult to Modena, then that was just stupid, especially considering this thread is nearly 8 months old.

      Current Oil Specials

      You're not wrong there Ash, greedy retailers trying to make a dollar. I say let them all bleed & see how they like it, surely they must be hurting by now. I have rarely walked into either of the big 3 auto stores, essentially purchased nothing all year. Have plenty stock to keep going, anticipating big Black Friday sales. I have also been considering swapping out my Aurion for something much taller (cos lower back issues) & super efficient but I just can't bring myself to flushing all that $$ for the sake of it, especially given the Aurion is still like a new car. Also concerned about leaving the very good safety of a car manufactured by Toyota for something a little unknown despite also being Japanese made. Then there's the ever changing landscape in the middle east which is excuse enough to instill fear into everyone from producers to stockbrokers to retailers and of course those that live there. Interesting times ahead for sure.

      Advice Please

      Welcome to the forum John, Depending on where you are your best option may be to get your existing alternator checked first to be totally sure that is the issue.The next if unable to find one suitable even on the aftermarket you may have to have that one rebuilt ..That may be your only option..I am sure somewhere there is one suitable but finding it is always the issue. I would get good advice from an AUTO ELECTRICIAN as they will have the inside knowledge of any sources that may able able to help you mate. KAA

      Current Oil Specials

      Times have changed post-COVID and no great bargain oil specials worth mentioning until now. Latest Repco catalogue has 50% discount Penrite Vantage Semi Synthetic 10W-40 Engine Oil 6L - VANSEMI10W40006. $35 for 6 litres is worth considering whether it will be applicable for your vehicle's engine and servicing requirements. Because most of my driving is short distance and as preventative measure against oil sludge, I use a comparatively short oil change interval between 3-6 months. It is a cost benefit decision. I use full synthetic for my long distance road trips. https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/engine-oil/penrite-vantage-semi-synthetic-10w-40-engine-oil-6l-vansemi10w40006/p/A9611158

      Advice Please

      I have an imported Hiace 200 with the 2.0l 1TR FE petrol, engine. There is a noise from the engine that i'm pretty sure is the alternator. I'm finding it difficult to source a new alternator at a reasonable price, It seems there are plenty for the 2.7 engine. Does anyone know if one of those would fit my 2.l engine. Thanks

      Hi Team Toyota, I am fortunate enough to be the proud owner of 2 Toyota's - an '03 Rav4 AWD Cruiser and an '07 Toyota Hiace. Both have been reliable and strong with incredible components that are so well fitted, it's a struggle to dismantle any part of them. I'm modifying my van and will probably have to sell the Rav to complete the project. I will look forward to learning much from you all and wish you all happy and safe motoring. Gidget

      Car Detailing Recommendations

      I recently came across Car Detailing Sydney, and they seem to be a great option for getting your car detailed around the area. I had my friend’s 2020 Camry detailed there, and it turned out fantastic—the shine was like it just rolled off the dealership lot. It cost about $400, and they were really thorough with both the exterior and interior. Definitely worth checking out if you want your Corolla looking fresh again.

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I got mine from GTzone, a 7-inch head unit for my 2018 Land Cruiser. I think all the aftermarket Android screens are very similar. My one from GTzone came with a GPS antenna, I believe the one from Brummstadt should include one as well. It has two options for using the navigation app, one is to insert a SIM card or share a hotspot from your phone to use the navigation apps, which uses the built-in GPS antenna, the other is to use the built-in Apple CarPlay system, which uses the phone’s GPS for navigation. In my case, because I always travel to the outback during my vacations, some areas have no signal at all. So, I downloaded offline maps from the Play Store to use for navigation, which doesn’t need internet during navigation and only uses the built-in GPS. It saves your phone’s power at the same time, I guess? So far, it has never failed me, never led me to the wrong roads, or shown me in ridiculous places like driving on a river LOL This is the product I mentioned above from GTzone, in case someone is interested: https://gtzone.com.au/products/toyota-landcruiser-200-series-2016-present-7-inch-wireless-carplay-android-auto-head-unit-navigation-bluetooth-wifi-head-unit

      300 series turbo issues

      We have a GR that had the 7th Injector replaced June 2024 (warning came up on dash Dec 2023 @ approx 18k) toyota cleaned injector in Jan when they inspected the problem and said parts will be 8 - 12 weeks (i dont know why so long for a common problem) but they advised to continue to drive / tow as normal. 3 months later parts arrived and they said they will complete job at june 2yr service interval. It was notated on paperwork torque bolts were re torqued. Today driving up blue mountains 70kmh to Katoomba towing 3.2T Zone RV van i experienced the turbo chirp on and off and the power dropping / surging. Lasted about 5-10 secs going up mountain but gave me a shock as havent experienced it before (hence the googling now and reading about previous issues) it didnt happen again but we arrived at caravan park 15 mins later and i didnt find a hill again with same steep incline as when it happened. In the 18 months of towing i havent experienced it before and car has been faultless. Todays trip was only fm Toowoon Bay to Katoomba so be interesting to see if it happens when we head to Bathurst in a few days on any steep inclines. Car is at 33k now. Currently 1 month into a 5 month trip.
