I recently heard through a guy I deal with for business (whose brother is a parts interpreter at Southside Toyota) about a limited edition Sportivo being released some time next year. He heard this through a mate of his who works for Toyota research and development that this limited release Sportivo will have a 3L V6 out of the Camry with a turbo on it. Toyota will be selling approximately 100 cars same as the turbo AE112 Sportivo. I then asked about "will it have a limited slip diff, rear or front wheel drive etc etc. He's been told it'll still be front wheel drive which would be a nightmare with wheelspin etc but that's about all he knew. When he knows more he'll let me know. That's if this is all true though? Sounds a bit far fetched for me but if i do hear more I'll let you all know :D

I think the Corolla Kompressor looks awsome. I'd be hoping it had more features like cruise control (for us highway drivers), better suspension (the stock Stivo one's suck), better stereo with buttons on the steering wheel (keep an eye on whats ahead) and perhaps even AWD (Impressive). Oops, I forgot to mention the drink cup holder..... I'd hate to see the price though, I'm sure it'll cost more than $40K for a Kompressor ????

Yeah Yeah, old news really, but not accurate, they are releasing the Toyota Corolla Kompressor from overseas here mid next year before the all-new-body is released. I believe this has been covered before in this forum. Some members on this forum have rallied for this model, and seems that it is finally paying off.

I have located pictures and the specifications and are attached to this thread.

Technical data Toyota Corolla Kompressor

Base vehicle Corolla Kompressor

Engine 4 Cyl. DOHC VVTLi 4 valves per cylinder 1796 ccm

Achievement 225 HP (166 KW)

Torque 250 Nm with 4200 min -1

v-max 235 km/h

0-100 Km/h 6.9 s

Light alloy wheels 7J x 17"

Tyre 215/45 R 17

Your contact seems to be a little confused with the Toyota Camry 4cyl Sportivo, which also will be released with a supercharger at the same time. The V6 Camry will be dropped in favour for an a all-new-model Avalon V6 Sportivo.

Fricken niceeeeeee..... rims look a bit :huh: ... other than that.... fricken niceeee! :D

I'm afraid you're mistaken there.

The TS Compressor will not be released in Australia. This vehicle was a limited one off range built on the docks of the USA based on the 2 door TS released in the UK.

The gold urbo Sportivo was built in the same fashion. They were Standard AE112R Corolla Levin's with a bolt on turbo fitted on the docks.

The red Corolla you have attached images of were from a USA Car Show where they were announced in the USA.

'IF' a vehicle like this was ever to be released in Australia, you'll find that for $40K, Toyota Australia will be looking for more power than 166kw for that price.

I cant see it happening because toyota sports models in Australia have always failed miserably. Look at the names, MRS, SUPRA, Celica GT4, 7th Gen Celica, Corolla Sportivo(turbo). What makes you guys think they will exercise that again? I cant see it happening.........although having said all that, the current sportivo is more likely to be successful simply because it has 4 doors, and the hot hatch market is on the increase as these vehicles have more room and more more practical for everyday use.

Like I said.... sounds all a bit too far fetched for a corolla and yes he's prolly got the Camry mixed up with the corolla. As for the Kompressor coming to Australia that's a dream a few of us have had for about a year now.....

even if the sportivo camry was released in a supercharged version, it would still be a bucket of ****. why make a car with that size and weight and still be pushing a single pegger fwd drivetrain. Thats a recipe for disaster, i think the camry should of been produced in a RWD format, it would make it a bit more exciting anyways

if its as ***** weak as the last sportivo its probably not worht your time!

interesting to see the netherlands supercharged version. You need some fatter tyres and a nice LSD with a slightly higher final to make it really good though

      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.
