Hey Stivo owners,

Just wanted to check with you guys to see if it's just my Stivo that is like this. I realised only today that my driver's headrest is different from the other 3 headrest in my Stivo. And the worse part is that it's not even leather, did I get jibbed? Did my dealer swop headrest? ;)

I measured my fronts in comparison to the back. I found that the front headrests are slightly larger than the back, or it could just be my eyes

Found that my headrest was fabric, unlike the rest of the other 3, which were leather. Anyway, went back to MCT today and they swop me for a leather one. The dealer found it really weird as well...anyway, bought myself a set of Sportivo pedals as a reward. :D

Pedals come in a four piece set. Installation of brake and clutch once are straight forward just remove the existing once and replace them (new once are also rubber based with aluminium plates on top) Accelerator and the foot rest is bit tricky you have to remove the accelerator pedal then need a centre punch to remove the pin from the pedal but with some patience and tools can be able to do it. Also the foot rest you have to remove the current one by pulling it (make sure you don’t break the locks if you want to use it in the future) then you can use either the current plastic base or the one that comes with the set to install the aluminium plate. For that you'll need some kind of a drilling tool.

Pedal set cost me about 180 somewhere in Sep 03 and they asked for 60 bucks or something just to install them so I did it my self and took about an hour being extra careful and without proper tools. Hope this helps

I didn't have too many problems installing the pedals myself cos they had originally installed them on my car but I told them to take it off as I didn't want to pay for them then, so they had holes already drilled into my footrest, that made installing the footrest pedal pretty easy.

The clutch and brake pads were pretty alright as well, but it took a little effort to put them on. The acelerator was the hardest as I had to unscrew the whole pedal out to replace it.

Anyway, I saved myself $60 and the pedal set cost me $120 and I had the chance to see what it's like to remove my acelerator...I had fun. Felt very DIY-ish... :D

e-gene you might have the DIY bug!

You're right Orrock...I think I do. Felt really good to know that I did it myself. Now all I need is a comprehensive tool kit. Any suggestions?

      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.
