:clap:

but still, it ain't gonna do much good i don't think... but worth a try... lol...

was actually having a discussion about this last nite at the weekly brisbane meet with someone and it just seems that people nowadays don't know how to look for anything themselves... they expect just to ask a question and have everyone barrelling towards them with answers and forthcoming information... its like "God dammit guys, everyone else had to find out for themselves, what makes u so darn special"... so lets hope they read this post... :toast:

but at the same time it's a forum so technical questions that the average person may not be able to solve is legit right?

Over the time I have had help to solve some problems and I have observed the forum, I have seen a decline in the interest of the forum "Corolla Sportivo". The reason I believe this is the case; the Factory have stopped the production of the Corolla Sportivo and the problems that plague the 2003/2005 Sportivo have been highlighted and are archived in this forum. The other reason is that people sell their cars and the new owners haven't found the delights of this particular forum. In saying all of this I am biased against the 2003 Corolla Sportivo. I can understand if a "newbie" searches to no avail for an answer to his problem, they also may not understand the terminology of what they are asking for, so it is important that the questions are continuous and free ranging (within reason). I hope the questions and discussion do not dry up, and we can all enjoy, repair, make better and admire the sacred vehicle that Toyota has blessed us with.

Amen.

Luke.

I agree, but when u get ppl posting messages that are simple that they could look up the yellow pages for its rather annoying... some ppl are lazy and expect everything handed to them... technical questions or opinions and questions on other ppl set ups (as long as they are positive and non derogatory opinions) are good and informative.

"does anyone know the phone number for tyre king at ......." is crap...

end rant...

:D

      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.

      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.
