on our recent trip (Screaminrolla, Zeerolla and Myself) we were getting times between mid 1 minute 17s to 1 minute 20s. A consistant pace at mid 1:18 was the most common... this is in the Sportivo though...

I will point out that we were all on street tyres too... I know your friend has semi-slicks so don't start!!! :P

Curious as to what suspension he has though. That's not a bad time.

Zee and I have virtually stock suspension and Dave has Koni Adjustables, which are moderately firmer but not in the coil over league. We were also dodgilly hand timed on my stopwatch in car. I was just giving an indication of some times, this was not a competition of what is better...

my friend's stock DC2 (with street tyres too) can do 1:13s...

1min13s is a bloody good time if it is true in a stock DC2R. I have a Wheels magazine in Feb 2000 that showed the DC2R doing 1min 18.4s. But in comparison the Celica ran a 1min21.9s and the Civic VtiR coupe ran 1min23s. I have also seen a DC2R with AP 6 pot front brakes and no muffler run a 1min9s (spectator hand-timed). Seriously i think our Stivos that day easily beat the timed laps as it was done in our 1st or 2nd sessions. Later in the day we picked out better lines and got braver with our braking, we definitely went quicker. My rear swaybar also felt loose making klonk klonk sounds making me oversteer more than my last 2 visits combined :D but i guess i got better turn-in that way..

But what Dylan said is true, we are not comparing our cars to Hondas because they have double wishbones :( and the DC2R we all know is made for the track, weighing only 1085kg. All i know is the Celicas are currently kicking the DC2R's azz in the Production Car Series! :P

Actually now looking at 2004 BFYB, Rick Bates drove the Mazda SP23 to 1min16s!! Pug Gti180 and Astra Turbo with 1min14s times. Cooper S Works ran 1min15s. EVO8 is 1min10s, Elise 111R 1min10s, M3 CSL 1min7s.

Now i would say all cars that day were unusually fast. It was winter though when they did the 04' BFYB and its Rick Bates driving. Dave in his Stivo would have easily been in 1min16s or maybe high 1min15s in the later sessions judging by how much harder he pushed :P

Just want to get an idea on what sort of times can the Corolla do on this track.

My best time so far is 1:21 in my 1ZZ-FE hoping to do a better time with the car lowerd, will find out next weekend.

Wakefield park doesn't provide much advantage for horsepower being a tight circuit, it's all about the suspension. As Zee stated, Hondas have double wishbones and fully independant rears so stock vs stock of course they will show better times there. The weight difference is also a big thing at Wakefield into the breaking zones especially. I notices another time we were out there that we were kicking the @rses of some Monaros with the biggest gain being into the breaking zone , but it's also imprtant in our cars to carry the speed out of the corner too, and get on the revs early... tis is where the stivo, with someone who knows how to use the gearing to it's full advantage, really comes into it's own (as with VTEC also for the Hondas)

But he was asking about the 1ZZ corolla... and IMO I would say you would expect to get ~1:20-1:22 in close to stock trim.

      Sad day

      Hi all just signed up, I have a Toyota 2011 Orion, yep the dreaded oil cooler lines, a hose blew, I had pulled up to a 99degree turn all was well , then 30 mtr up the road sounded like a truck was next to me then noticed it was my car rattling it’s ***** off, being not even 10mtr from my drive way I idled it into the drive way and oil was everywhere, i placed oil in the car as it read empty on the oil stick , had my partner start the car and wow it was pumping strait out of the hose it had a hole in it ,I turned it off strait away, and researched it, so disappointed I have owned Toyotas all my life and owned this pride and joy for allmost 3years iam second owner with around 212000 on the clock, I am replacing it with the upgraded lines but am know afraid it’s done some serious damage, as idle sounds fine but not game to give it a rev till it’s all fixed, I don’t understand, it states if leaking to return to Toyota, I had no leaks the hose blew a hole, the recall also says extended warranty and has no date or km, for the oil hoses , Am I say up **** creek with out a paddle ?? I will check log books to see when last serviced from Toyota and when recall was made. ??????

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll also try taking the key off the ring. After all, I've tried everything else from using extreme profanities, kicking and crying. What do I have left to lose? Ha ha 🤬🤣

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi Helen1234 I went the cheap option also from Ebay for my 2010 Hilux. It took multiple attempts to get mine to work but after the 4th or 5th time it did exactly what was supposed to happen. The instructions need to be followed perfectly and if you dont the fob will not learn the system. I was personally having the issue where the car thought I took the key out of the ignition because the key barrel is worn. I had to take my key off my key ring because the weight from my house key, canopy key and bottle opener where weighing down on the key when it was in the key barrel. Good luck, hope you get it to work

      Backlash clunk when slightly on and off accelerator

      Hi all, I'm new to the forum and hoping the brains trust here may be able to help, maybe even seen the issue before. I have a 2010 Hilux KUN26 193k on the clock. I have been searching for a possible cause of a clunk which has developed which sounds and feels like backlash. It seems to be coming from towards the front of the vehicle. While the vehicle is idling along in lets say first gear and if I was to ever so slightly touch the accelerator pedal I get a clunk sound like something is engaging and then let my foot off again it happens again but like its disengaging it can felt through the car. I have had it up on a hoist and checked all the engine and gearbox mounts which all seem fine. The tailshaft and uni joints all seem fine also. The clunk happens in all gears but once cruising in any gear you wouldnt think there was an issue. Originally I was leaning towards a clutch issue but only because I was noticing it while changing gears but with further investigation I have noticed it happens without touching the the clutch pedal and just on and off accelerator. I have a throttle controller on the vehicle and thought this may be the issue so I unplugged it and nothing changed. Im hoping someone has seen this before and can point me in the right direction.

      project 2007 camry grande

      The wreckers don't want to sell the centre caps , they only want to sell complete wheel sets. Toyota dealers can supply them new in a packet , but don't know if there is one in a packet or four.

      VSC light flashing when using DAC

      Hey Mate, Im no professional so dont quote me on this, but I think that's normal. They flash when you break traction and the DAC kicks in. If it's constantly flashing at you even when you're not breaking traction, you might have a problem. But it's the same thing with traction control on newer cars. It flashes at you when the traction control is activated and you are sliding or drifting, or whatever.
