Nice,I would not buy it due to 2 doors, but i hope it's successful so that Toyota has a good look at it's strategy and stops pushing the corolla levin as a hot hatch cause it's a grocery getter.

Last fast corolla made was in 2005, and we all know even that needs some improvements to really zing.

Duy, are you giving the sportivo to Lauren now? :P

When your not looking, I might stick a TRD badge on your Focus if you manage to score it. :ph34r:

actually, remembering the concept back in 09, i was hoping they'd make a 4 door version of it for australia... but i'm with ya on that if they only come out in a 3 door hatch :(

Impressive? Hardly. But I do like it and I do want one.

60K for a FWD sports car. In my opinion anyone who purchases this is an idiot.

I don't believe it will ever be possible to "eliminate" toque steer completely. Another PR campaign by a car manufacturer telling porkies.

The proof will be in the pudding if it manages to out perform the likes of the WRX and the EVO on a track.

It's as fast as an GD STi around the Top Gear test track

One day torque steer will be eliminated on powerful FWD factory models...someone will crack it. :)

would be interested if someone could give me the low down on this RevoKnuckle system/setup. :unsure:

But then again, the TRD Aurion could have the same comment applied to it when it was sold and instead saying you could get an FPV or something :lol:

Anyways, I'm not a fan of smaller cars so my comments are already biased. That said, I don't mind the look of the front end of that Focus, but the car in general just doesn't do it for me.

but in that instance u r comparing a large car with a large car ...... in this scenario the question is do u spend $60k on a ford performance hatch ..... thats a lot of coin to be spent on such a small car ...... the r32 was already borderline acceptable but it made up for it in being awd and other bits n pieces ...... i dunno only time will tell when more info and results come out about it but yeah like u i am not sold

"it's not mine..." (with a strong european accent) "i'm running it in for the dealer... it will go on sale on the 1st of october"

"can i run it in for you?"

"haha, u can wait until the 1st of october... oh wait let me get you a brochure"

Running it in my a55. Probably cooking the clutch :lol:. That's just my jealousy speaking.

I'm not a fan of small cars though, so even though it would probably be wicked to drive, it's just not my thing. Still hate her though.

Plus I just hate Ford for personal reasons. That said, I'd love a Ford GT or Mustang.

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
