Welcome.

You should start a "Members Ride" thread and put some photos up.

Also do a search and you'll find everything you need to know about modifications.

If I was as smart as DJKOR, I'd put the link up here for you... but...

Good luck.

hey mate nice buy

14k for 110,00km isn't too bad as long as you are happy with it, i remembered getting my 05 Sportivo for only 20K with 35,000km clocked.

if you are looking for some tiny mods than a CAI and an exhaust to would be good to start off with. :)

I paid $14k for my car but with more ks on it .. 140xxx . It was from Toyota Dealership so i had to bite the bullet..

Like mentioned CAI and Exhaust might be your starting points.

I have a CES Cat Back exhaust on my car and im very happy with the performance and the sound (DB.)

Plenty of fun and at the same time not loud in the cabin for those long highway trips.

Just a tip , after a fews weeks driving you might feel the car is not driving as hard as it first does , its just a mind over matter thing and other members assured me it was just me being used to the power after a while.They were right !

welcome mate! Have fun!

i picked up a 03 sportivo dead stocker for $14k a month ago with 94000kms on it

read this ...... i changed my clutch to a trd + oil + longer push rod within a few months of getting the car from factory ..... so i never experienced this crunching issue ...... as per the post above was discussing it with cme-lft and it seems to have fixed his issues ...... just hope u havent ruined the syncro's bcuz then its stuff either way.

My mate works at a shop in Hornsby. He just did the pushrod, brass bushes for the gearbox and a new Exedy clutch.

Fixed all the problems your talking about. It seems the standard toyota clutch arrangement is GARBAGE!!
