Toyota clutch isn't cheap, so you'll be going aftermarket. Can't comment on which one though.

With the flywheel, it isn't all that harder to drive with a lighter flywheel. But the lighter flywheel isn't going to make the car significantly faster. Up to you what you want to do.

my opinion is just to machine the flywheel back, and get a exedy heavy duty clutch (a lot of members have had good stories from exedy).

like you mentioned, just a weekend car right? don't need to blow out your wallet.

The 1st to 2nd issue in my car was the clutch i changed the clutch and the flywheel it made changing a dream i highly recommend do that 1st with changes of the gear box oils. and your car would most likely be shifting like a dream unless your not the best of drivers and pretty much wrecked the box.

red p plater with a bright red sportivo on black wheels in mint condition at St leonards Or Crow's Nest station draws a huge key attempt already had it done twice

Sorry I don't get the last part, someone keyed your car?

And you think getting the madly styled Type-R is going to help? I've only recently started getting interested in sporty cars and even I know what a Type-R is. To be honest, before I joined this forum, I didn't know there was a sporty Corolla with similar performance to the Type-R. I thought Sportivo is just a cosmetic upgrade.

I'm pretty sure you'll draw more attention with a Type-R than you do with a Sportivo mate.

i guess if you're worried about future resale value than id say sell the sportivo now and get the FN2. As long as your FN2 looks stock, i cant see it getting anyone's attention to key it.

My only factor would be insurance.

should change ur clutch soon since the clutch is warped as it will do damage in the long term and end up costing more in the repair bill, but if u want to change ur car then dont bother

ps. with ur current condition of ur clutch u shouldn't push the car hard until u get ur clutch replaced

I wouldn't be changing the box it sounds like you just need to do the clutch and have the flywheel machined to me.. by the way you speak it sounds like your one of those guys that flogs the absolute snot out of the car all day every day.. nothing last forever especially with harsh treatment.

No offence but what's the point of owning a Sportivo if you're just gonna baby it? Might as well get an Ascent.

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k
