My Black 05 Stivo! - Perth, WA

[AsankaK]

After looking for a reasonably fast/sporty, practical car which I could take on a track occasionally as well as daily drive to uni. I decided to buy this MY05.5 Corolla Sportivo which I bought in September 2014. The car was in awesome condition with low kms for an awesome price!


I decided to keep the car as factory and enjoy the car until I realise what needs modifying. The car was totally standard apart from a K&N filter which I cleaned out asap

Obligatory MightyCarMods Sticker!!


I'm pretty happy with the performance, the 2ZZ really sings when it hits lift but the suspension is a little boaty as well as quite tall, to be fixed at a later time when money permits!
I already had a subwoofer and amp so I went out and bought a DDIN DVD headunit; I also came across some DVD headrests at work for $40 each so I took two of them and installed it all! I also installed DRLs and White bulbs/LEDs

Overall im really happy with the stivo
Stay tuned for more :)

Update: Installed HID foglights and did JDM taillight mod!

Feeling like I need moar lows now :/

[AsankaK]

So over time I felt the need to upgrade suspension/exhaust
I looked into getting both done professionally but was driven away by the prices
I ended up finding a cheap axle-back cannon and fitting it



Ended up being too loud so I pulled it off, and installed King Lows with a friend ($293 for springs from Veale)







Incredibly happy with the way the car has turned out, will look for a not so loud exhaust but am happy with the way it is :)

So it's about time that I updated this post

Not much done to the car apart from servicing etc
Apart from a cold air intake!! car sounds superb and pulls much harder in the lower rev range :)

Some wallpapers for all you Stivo enthusiasts:

Nice Sportivo man. Looks really neat.

What CAI did you get?

[AsankaK]

Thanks man!

CAI is custom i'm pretty sure (got it off a friend who used to have a Sportivo for dirty cheap)

Ah nice man. Any intake on a Sportivo sounds good anyway haha.
