Cooorrrrooolllllling along...Toyota.

For those who are suddenly thinking that I might running with "less than a full tank", its from an old Corolla ad campaign from Toyota in the mid-90's...its still amusing. :)

I am now the proud proud owner of a brand spanking new, lift-enabled, black, 16" sporting, leather filled 2005 Corolla Sportivo.

Might I say that it is indeed quite nice.

Of course, you're probably already aware of that.

Black certainly is the new red, infact I'd go as far as to say its the *old* red, before red was popular (although apparently yellow is the new red but thats unconfirmed thus far). It's making a comeback.

Its the only colour that a cool response can be given to when asked "what colour is your car?", the only response would be "black as your soul".

That has a certain jene se qua-iness about, one can't deny.

Anyway, enough of this, I just thought I'd express what could be termed as glee at my latest purchase.

I'm glad to be among you all. :)

Scott

come on fella's, the colours not important.

I can't even type that with a straight face. :)

Here's an angle to look at, black isn't a colour, its a tone...same as white. Whereas white is the lack of colour, black is the combination of all colours.

Therefore, black is actually concentrated versions of red, blue, yellow, etc to form a super colour, i.e. black.

So in actuality, white is pure and any other colour in between is a diluted, less powerful version of black.

You just couldn't cope with all the power that comes from the different colours when combined to form black.

:)

hah!

Dude!!!

Are you seeing all weird colours at the moment, like rainbow swirls etc....

Everyone knows that Red & Blue are the only colour options available that are actually colours, because as you mentioned, Black, White and Silver are just shades.

Being that the Blue option is destructed by adding a metallic flec to it, then this leaves RED as the clear choise as the only virginous (is that a word?) colour...

White = pure....my trotter....

Look at Danthuyer, the most unpurest of all of us :P

      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,
