Well every one the sad day has come where i have finally woken up and realised that i can not in any way afford to drive my precious Stivo! :(

With my fortnightly payment of $300 and $1600 worth of insurence coming up my lowly wage of $230 a week as 1st year apprentice cant cut it.

So its going.

On the bright side i am looking into replacing her with another toyota of course so any ideas on a toyota with in the prices of $5,000 to $7,000 would be appriciated!

i must now go be alone with my baby....

That's a shame Richie now Azza has to fly the red flag all on his lonesome :(

I'd be looking at late 80's modded 4age/ze perhaps for that kind of money.

Good luck my friend we'll miss the sight of a red stivo racing everything in sight.... then again we've still got Azza :P

Someone talk to this guy's boss and get hme to pay a better wage than $230 a week!! Come on, waitering earns more than that! :angry:

You can also get S13 or 180sx but check for oil leaks. btw i pay almost $1200 with NRMA insurance with 65% ncb , i'm 23 :(

Yeah, the SX sounds like a plan. I dun mind that shape. But is it the SX-Fi that has the 4AGZE?

I'll do alright here by myself as the only red beast. But then again, whoever buys it can always join our group.... :)

Unfortunately that's the story of an apprentice, you have to eat sh!t for 4 years.

An AE93 SX would be good, still a little bulletproof screamer.

Stay away from any Supra's/Celica's/S13's/etc if you want to keep your insurance below $1200. Basically anything that fits into the "Sports Car" category will be expensive to insure at your age.

But if you're looking for something basic to move around in until your means change and you can get something nicer, just save your money and go for an econobox of some sort for the time being.

      Both license plate bulbs not illuminating?

      Hey peeps, I purchased a 2013 Toyota Camry. Both seperate light bulbs for the licence plate are not illuminating. Ideas on the issue? Steps to solve? Could it be a fuse? I assume if it was a fuse other lights would also be out? On that note the transmission option light inside is also out (drive, park so forth). Any advice appreciated.

      Toyota Expert need - Hilux Workmate Ute 2010 Engine/Head

      Hello, Purchased a Toyota 2010 ute (petrol), all seemed great until one day I missed the temperature going up and the sweet strange smell of the coolant and the first I knew I was in trouble was when the windscreen had a shower of water/coolant as the radiator top had blown apart. I had a local mechanic suggest using the head/weld stuff, possibly not a great idea, it seemed ok for a while at least in terms of I could drive back and forth to work. I don’t use the ute much. We then found a metal pipe on the right side of the engine which was cracked and this seems to have been the what caused the problem all along. This was fixed and the vehicle seemed OK. I thought perhaps I had dodged a bullet and it was not the head gasket having blown or a cracked cylinder head etc. Recently noticed the tell tale vapour from the exhaust and also from the rear part of the engine (with the hood up). Now realise there is a major problem and I did not dodge any bullets at all. I have another different mechanic who is due to come and collect the vehicle on Tuesday and is going to replace the head gasket and the cylinder head for a quality aftermarket head. Now I am trying to find out if this is the right move. He is a good mechanic, recommended by trustworthy people, he mainly works on diesel motors. I cannot afford to spend thousands fixing the vehicle to only find that the base part of the motor is screwed and the vehicle really needs a new engine (wreckers engine). Is there any way to tell? It was making some horrible knocking sounds the last few times I drove it, probably should not have drove it the last few times, just did not have much choice. Hoping that after all this a new gasket and head will sort it out. Hoping some people who know what they are talking about can provide some sound advice. Appreciate your feedback/assistance. Cheers.

      Please help Reverse Trigger wire harness for Camry Hybrid 23

      Dear all I have a Camry Ascent Hybrid 2023 with standard version, 7 inch touch screen Fujitsu Denso FT0106B head unit. Today I removed the head unit and replaced with the Alpine ILX-F511A and connect the plugs by Aerpro wire harness. I connected all the plugs but there is a 28 pin plug does not have the wire harness from Aerpro cable. Everything is working except the reverse Camera. I connected the reverse trigger wire to Aerpro reverse trigger but the camera does not work when I change the gear to reverse position. I think this error comes from the 28 pin plug which is not connected. If someone knows which wire harness color and which pin is the car reverse trigger please help me with it. And the FM radio is not working too, I do not know which car wire color to connect the blue wire from antenna connector too. Thank you so much.
