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:

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.

Nice,I would not buy it due to 2 doors...

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

Ok, that is impressive. But IMO not enough to warrant the costs and how ugly it is.

some middle aged woman driving it. i beeped and asked her "when did u get it delivered?"

"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"

then took this picture and rode off as the lights turned green...

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.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      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.
