Hey Guys,

Been a bit late getting around to posting this stuff, but I attended a "driver training" day at the Gympie (QLD) Roadcraft Driver training centre last weekend with the lovely ladies and gents from Coastcars.

Not only was it the most fun I have ever had behind the wheel of a motor car, but I learnt a ****load about how my little beastie handles in the wet (and doesn't handle, lol). I was actually pretty surprised at how the little Sportivo went against some big dollar competition. Unfortunately I havent got a list of which car applies to each name on the time sheet, but the pics and times should give you an idea of how the stivo stacked up against the competition.

There are a heap more pics coming, but you get the idea. . . . . . . .

The +5 sec penalties apply to either leaving the track, or hitting the cones.

These things happen almost every 2 months now, and its a great day out, if anyone is keen to come along to the next one, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.

Cost of attending is $100 for the whole day, or $50 for half. This includes pizza and drinks on the day.

Basically in the morning the pan is open and you can do what you like (2 cars max at a time), and in the arvo there are courses setup and times run etc etc.

Unless you have a rear driver, its not really worth paying for the full day, its not like corollas are drift warriors.

Sorry bout the pics guys, not as much open slather on the bandwidth here, working on it, give me a little while.

Cheers

JC

Both of those places arent worth the hassle mate, beleive me. We have already approached them.

Gympie is half the price, and they basically allow you to control the whole day . . . . so yeah, worth the 1 hr 45 min drive.

      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.
