Haha as title states, who thinks the sportivo will make it cross country 4,000km, 41 hour drive.. It revs at 4k @ 120 so ? Lol never driven it past the snow fields at nsw-Vic boarder from syd which is 5 hours....

It's a one way drive its not coming back..

Ideas on preps and stuff for the 2zz is most welcome. Thanx in advance!!

i would definetely be running the stock air box and a good panel filter and not a cai and pod. never know what water/dirt/bugs you will suck up on this trip with a low hanging cai. you can easily clean the crap out of your panel filter at a stop when its full of bugs at least haha

I don't see any reason why you can't just get in and drive it. Whats the difference between doing 4000 kms in 40 hours or 40 days? If anything, the 40 hour trip would cause less wear because there would be no cold starts. I read somewhere that a 2zzge is rated to do 4000 rpm continuously.

I'd rather put those miles on my car at 100-120 km/h than at 0-40 km/h in rush hour traffic.

i'd say it's abit silly if toyota designed thier motor and gearbox to sit at roughly 4k at 120kph if there was any risk of internal damage with extended periods of use at those rpm's. toyota are alot smarter then that.

Above comment is true. I'm In Sydney now n I drove almost non stop from Melbourne to Sydney. I was sitting on 3.5 to 4k rpm for at least 5 hours straight. Dow mate I think I read somewhere that the 2zz could sit on 4k rpm for a few hours with no problems at all. I'll link u when I find it :)

i bought my sportivo in bris, drove to Darwin after basic tune up, 15 hour day drives in 30 degree plus tempretures, 3425km spred across 3 days. no drama's at all. recently did darwin to kunnanurra (800kmish) in 7hrs, again no drama's, lot hotter up here and my stivo loves roadtrips. On the bris- darwin road trip, if i remember correctly (it was a while ago now) i acctually got close to 850km out of a tank.

yeah i heard that.... sucks to have a speed limit on that highway. wasnt the reason because someone from an organised event smashed and died on that highway? that was pretty dumb considering it was probably a one off thing. and no exhaust? i was thinking maybe my new spoiler would cause a bit of drag. that and maybe my spark plugs need replacing... almost 100,000kms on that now...

I'm planning to take my Corolla from Adelaide to Melbourne at the end of the year for a two week holiday, then driving home again. Looking forward to it, especially with cruise control.

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
