All owners of white Corolla's are hereby requested to wear a white arm-band tomorrow, as Buddha has officially decreed a day of mourning.

Owners of other colours may join us if they choose.

BTW, I'm serious ... post a pic of yourself with an arm-band on tomorrow to show you care! :D

i just saw the news on 10 and it was nice of them to indicate that the corolla and it just happened to be a sportivo was the only small car that was able to maintain body integrity in an accident ..... I wonder did anyone tape it ?????

just watched the article on Ch10

was on crash testing over the last 16 years, all data combined and older and smaller cars are less safe... suprise suprise

but they say the Corolla was an exception because of the unique Toyota Safe-t-cell :)

Yay for the Corolla, and it was a white Sportivo they tasted too

Mozzies and Flies

Silver attracts chicks / girls (and only good looking ones) - Right SilvaB

No no no.. you've got it all wrong...

Silver attracts old grannies.. Blue attracts the chicks.. isnt that right wei wei

Mozzies, flies, grannies and chicks aside guys (btw its the driver that attracts the chicks :P )..

I was told the S2000 is one of the worst for driver and passenger safety due to its super rigid body structure, hence all the shock gets transmitted towards the driver? So does that explain why the corolla bodyshell doesn't feel as rigid as some of the competitors -> more roll and reduced cornering performance? but improved safety? :blink:

A white casualty :(

There isnt enough of us as it is!

I only noticed last weekend how the white attracts the flies.

Another obvious one for the black and blue teams is that their cars attract more heat in the summer.

But yes it is the driver that attracts the women. Big rims, exhausts, CAI's and shiny paint help attract the initial attention but from there your on your own!

If you've got it, flaunt it!

      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.
