I think I also hold the records for:

-only person to have a TRD oil filter fitted

I had one fitted when my corolla had its 10,000 km service back in 2003...

Decided never to fit again as it didn't really make much difference (except it being red..)

I think I also hold the record for 'most expensive damage done to a rolla without it having being written off by my tight insurance company': $15,000.

Apparently it was cheaper to fix than write-off.

I come close to big-bum's records, but not quite there. However, I'm also having trouble removing the stains. I think I may hold the record for the biggest sex-related stain on my front seat... :blink: :o :P :D

Got my car sometime in Jan 04 - I'll go for the record of least washes, which to my mind is three times by hand and say 6 times by gurney at the place down the road = 9 washes in 18 months.   :)

I think I also hold the records for:

-oldest Silver Sportivo driver on the forum (33 years 9 months), kick_ass has a blue one

-only person to have a TRD oil filter fitted

-only Sportivo driver in SA to ever go on a cruise and exceed the speed limit

Probably more obscure records too but I'll have to think about them.

oz - pretty close to some of my Records :)

Well, I think I had the 1st Blue 'Stivo in South Aus - took delivery on 3rd August 03 - and I think it was number 5 or 6 in South Aus.

Oldest Blue Sportivo driver ( 37 ) - Guess what I bought for my 35th birthday - and it actually turned up 2 weeks early!

There is one other record that I could claim but won't ever admit to it - Again and won't post it here ;)

Closest to 40,000Km at 2 years old - 40,137

Least number of washes. Me - 3 times, plus 4 times at the dealership when it has been serviced - making only 7 washes in 2 years and 2 weeks.

Sorry to kill your excitement but I took delivery of mine on 17 July 2003 from Cornes Toyota. :P

Mine is also the first Sportivo in Australia to be fitted with the rear bumper skirt (hence all the problems with the melted bits, as they simply didn't know...)

they LIED! - Fancy a dealership lying!

Well - how about the first person to simply lay down the $$ - and only getting to within 10Meters of one before owning one! - yeah my test-drive was post-delivery, and I only saw one thru a showroom window before buying.

2. Sterling Silver (post-facelift Ascent) -test drive 1, Oct 04

3. Lucifer Red (pre-facelift Sportivo) -2nd hand, same day as above, trying out different models

4. Shimmer Silver (post Sportivo) -test drive 2 when facelifted model arrived, Feb 05

5. Cascade Blue (post Sportivo) -routine test drive before purchasing, Jun 05

6. Ink (post Sportivo) -current vehicle

I took delivery of my Stivo on the 24/6/03 and have only travelled a little under 15,000kms (works only 10mins away). I would've been the first to let the dealership know of the gear change/clutch issue. Not to mention some of the other issues....

About 2 months later the local council truck scratched the drivers door. I'm sure mine's the first Stivo at the Beaters.

Car not washed for 5 months straight last year... cause i was in Europe (really enjoyed driving on the high speed European Motorways)

I think i might beat u on the 1st stivo to see a panel beater.... Mine was there in Sept after an incident with the council also.....

But i finally thought of a record.... Im the first sportivo to be at the panel beaters so soon after picking it up from the dealership..... Picked it up on Thursday night before the dealership closed.... Incident happened on Saturday.... At the panel beaters on Monday....

I'm not sure if this counts, but as I switched the wagon off tonight, our piece of crap cat decided that the bonnet would be a nice warm place to be. I disagreed.

Judging by the elapsed time from when I hit the horn to when he left my field of vision, including the time he spent a foot in the air with his paws flapping, I'd reckon he was doing 250 easy! :P

How about the most cyclists knocked down by a Sportivo.

Oopps. One

And being a cyclist myself this one really hurts (the ego the driving record and the back pocket)

My sincere apologies to the cyclist.

      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.
