hey all, my car had its 30k service today and they assessed my gear cable rattle and put in the report and the order for my "modified" selector cable, they reckon it is a problem as the cables pass through the fire wall any how 5-7 day wait until my cable comes in and gets installed. I think they temp fixed it because it is definitley making less noise. Also had the fuel inj de carbed.....the response is now back to the way it was when i drove out of the show room.

Cheers.

influx is that the final official fix?

because when i went in (3 weeks ago) they did a 'cable modifcation' but said the solution was still on the drawing tables, and when a solution was finalised, it would be a 'fix on demand' basis.

i am not sure sorry. seems it might be the intermediate fix, but an order had to go to toyota aus, with a report to justify it. I said to the woman there that it was the problem all sportivos were having, shes like there has only been one i know of. i turned around and said i am friends with close to 30 sportivo owners, and they all have it, which brings me to my next question why don't the celica and the MR2/s have the problem they both have the same gear box/engine???i didn't ask this question but i really want to,

gentlemen of the jury,,

the great working team from southside toyota placed new modified cables in my car at the 5000km service, did it fix the problem NO... they then proceeded to put new cable in at the 10,000km service,, and yet again didn't fix the problem wow these guys are working so hard to fix the problem.. <_<

but what i have heard is that toyota in South Africa are finally getting around to a final fix and resoloution for this problem,, when it will be finalised i don't know but within this year is what i have been told...

i used to live in Africa believe it or not...

Turn the music up and try to ignore the noises for now..

cheers

I got the fix for it from Southside Toyota...cable tie!!! Worked a treat!!!

I have cable ties on mine as well from day 1 and had no significant rattles UNTIL recently!! I have 5500kms and i can hear slight rattles from the gearbox when i am at high revs. I don't think the cable ties will last :(

I hope they fix the rattles soon.

When I update my vehicle next year, it may not be a Sportivo. Are you listening Toyota?

So far this year my friends have bought (this year only): -

Me - Sportivo 2004

Club members that I have met (4 x Stivo's, 1 x Conquest)

Friend One - Honda Civic GLi 2004

Friend Two - Honda Civic GLi 2004

Friend Three - Holden Commodore SS Ute with CSV Kit 2004

Friend Four - Holden Monaro with CSV kit 2004

Friend Five - Ford Falcon XR6 2004

Next possible car if Sportivo issues not fixed, Honda Civic Hybrid.

      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.
