Hi All

Looks like the sportivo has been dropped from the website (it aint there anymore). Does anyone here know why?

Yeah guys you cant see it in some pages

BUT

If you go to the Genuine Accessories then click on the left, then the Corolla Sportivo link is there :blink::blink::blink:

My guess is that they did an update of the pages and have/have not updated it....

mmm that’s disappointing. I think they have removed it from the site which is not a good sign :unsure: Is it the end of our beloved sportivo line up

The stivo is listed under the sports cars section with the celica and mr2..

Even if they discontinue it, it would be good for us in a way.. that would definately cause the stivo's price to hold strong :D

enny: It's not listed under the sports section. that's the 'Camry Sportivo' you're seeing with the celica and MR2.

maybe they're sorta hiding it....so that not so many people will buy it..until they FIX the damn thing!!

it would definately keep the price strong if they discontinue!!!

what about aftermarket parts? guess we'll have to go to the US/UK/NZ for them then....

I saw the Corolla Sportivo listed under sports ...a few days ago..

now it is gone...

i wonder if it is because they updated the homepage with an OLD homepage, cos they might be testing the homepage for the new corollas range.

it could be that or it could be due to the possible introduction of the new WORLD COROLLA ;) ;) ;)

Toyota's website recently got into very big trouble with consumer affairs. They had wrong info on it, said the original Conquest had fast glass, but neglected to mention it was only on the front, there were a few other misleading things there too.

You had to go through a "This website is under audit" frontpage before accessing the site for about 4 or 5 months, because of the legal action, so you can bet yr dangly bits they're being extra cautious with info on the site now.

The other thing that occured to me was that perhaps the Sportivo is going to be the first to me announced, sort of a flagship model for Corolla..??

I hope Toyota hasn't misquoted anything for the Stivo or i will be really ****** :angry:

Or maybe Toyota Australia is introducing the new Stivo with the revised 2ZZGE that has a lower power and tourque output?

My cuz went to toyota as he is interested in a sportivo, he was told quote "the sportivo is unavailable as it is being recalled for having too many rattles, toyota will be contacting all owners shortly" could this be the reason the sportivo is not on the website???????

I drive past my dealer every day and they have been getting in (and presumably selling) new Stivos at the rate of 1 every week or so. I'll keep my eye out and see if they stop selling them....

Heh would be nice if they called it back and gave me my money back, they I would not need to find someone to buy it in a couple of months :P. I would like to point out though, I am the luckiest stivo owner in the worls, I have had ZERO rattles and only one issue (headlights pointing a little too high, fixed straight away by dealer) I have experienced no other issues which have been reported by just about every other stivo owner.

Talk about tolerance...I've only driven my car for 2.5 months out of the 6 months since I purchased my Stivo. The rest of the time it's in bloody service department getting fixed up and checked.

Emailed a dealer and they said,

"Toyota have currently stopped supply and delivery of all Corolla Sportivos. They have not advised exactly why or for how long but assure us it is temporary. In line with this they would also have removed it from their web site."

Still doesn't say much.

Wonder if all the new ones will be "Rick Bates Specials" and come thru

his workshop with a few of his "Leanne Ferrier/GT Production" tweaks?

. . . . . nah, probably not.

BTW - no rattle problems with mine either.

      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.
