But with the stock suspension didn't you get real taily!!

It was taily like you wouldn't believe, but I realised just how much room there is coming out of turn one, I was almost able to be in lift in 3rd on the exit, if you get the turn in right it just flows nicely as it straightens. But I straight away lost confidence in my tyres so backed off. Hopefully I'll have some semis next time I'm able to make it ;).

rollamods - and it'll grow expinentially until people are bored of it!!! Maybe you should charge and make some cash out of it ;)

I noticed that that too, and i was juggling between 2nd gear wheel spinning out in LIFT or 3rd gear having a smoother transition which is obviously better and quicker but the damn tyres just won't let you grip!

p.s. MAP81 is going to be rich and famous, everyone i know that owns a car has seen that clip!! :lol:

I noticed that the car looks like it handles better with the bloke with the red shirt on compared to the other fat bloke. In that pic it looks like the struts on the passenger side have given up all together. :P

Mark has also put another question rest.

This has proven that you should not have any problems at all with rain, puddles or minor flooding with a CAI.

...did you not see the photo's of marks motor with the intake plenum off?

It had to be removed to drain out the water, then clean out the residue before attempting to start the motor!

The CAI did a good job of filling the entire lower section of the plenum with water.

Yes, but what I'm meaning is that hydrolock did not occur ( The Engine did not blow in this most extreme case ). I and Kcorro know of a Golf R32 that did have it's $32k engine replaced ( Insurance ) due to being in a minor flood in Melbourne. People have previously raised the question about driving in rain or hitting puddles with a CAI, this to me has shown that your engine should be pretty safe driving through rain with a CAI.

The reason the car didn't hydrolock is because fuel in brisbane these days is water'd down so much the car couldn't tell the difference between petrol and water.. it just thought it was an even lower octane hehehe...

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
