Hey all...

Just thought i would start a topic just to have some fun...

since i got this car it is hard not to just drive it like i am on a racing track and give it a bit lol...

how much of you actually thrashed ur sportivo on a constant basis or do you just do it every now and then...

Also how many of you actually put premium unleaded in your car... i always use BP unlimate in my car but do of any uz ignore and just use unleaded..

I dont remember the last time i was out of lift.......... ahahaha

no seriously... a lot less than i used to. driving in traffic a lot more lately, and also with the fuel price goin up and up, my lift has been reduced slightly... only slightly.... the CAI noise is too orgasmic to give up :lol:

I drive an auto conquest. i regularly make the trip up to around 6K.....won't go any further lol.

I've tried driving gently but it doesn't seem to make a difference in my fuel consumption. After installing the CAI, i've lost about 50km per tank.....i'm currently getting 400km to the tank (when the light goes on)........that is so bad. I should maybe take it to another mechanic

Cheers

P.S. i think i drive more gently with the CAI on though, it bloody noisy if you boot it past 4K

This guy will hit lift in a school zone 50 yards from a children's crossing... then jam on the stoppers so hard your breath fogs up the windscreen! Any opportunity Mick :P

Anyways I feed mine Vortex 98 'cos its like 2c/L more than Vortex Gold (95) and I'm not ever putting ULP in

If you're losing fuel efficiency I would DEFINITELY get the car dynotuned. I had my V8 Commodore tuned on a dyno after adding CAI and I gained an extra 9kw's and 39k's to a tank. It depends how long the CAI has been on, sometimes it takes a couple of tank fulls for the ecu to adjust to the extra airflow.

Just my own experiences, if it helps then good.

You can't dynotune a stock ECU'd corolla. What exactly would they adjust???

If you have a unichip, emanage, SAFC, powerfc etc then you can, but otherwise a "dyno tune" is a complete waste of time.

When you have this car you just wish for red lights. Then bang lift in first touch it in 2nd then a cruise to the next red light.

Those people behind must be thinking What the F has that Corolla got in it.

I'm fully hooked so I can never go back to a family car again (that will now always be the wife's car) and maybe MP3 or something in the future when the school fees are gone.

Oh no he crys that means the Rolla will be around for a few more years (lucky the affair is still good - don't tell the wife it would be a hard choice between the two).

i had to buy a new engine....nuff said :D

LMFAO :D :D :D

I figure, if it weren't supposed to be used, they wouldn't have put it in the car.... and if it were supposed to be used sparingly, then it would have to do something silly like spool up or something....

i dont thrash my car as it doesnt feel like a sports car to me and i bought it due to its cheap price and i wanted something reliable.when i do hit lift aprox 5 times a week it feels great but im used to bikes and so all cars feel slow to me but i do have a few friends that are mechanics and they rekon if you drive a car too slow it will get sluggish so you gotta open up the injectors now and then thats what ive been told and i believe it my mums second car the camry doesnt know what its like to go past 4000 thanks to my mum ****ting herself when driving and now it takes off like a tangara

      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.

      Camry Touring 2010 A/C Issues.

      Hi Guys, My Camry 2010 Touring just had a regas done on it and the next day for some reason it wasn't blowing cold air but the next day it is and now working with nice cold air BUT every now and then we can hear and feel a buzz for a few secounds and today while my sister took my car I could her like a mild knocking sound when stopped but goes away when driving off. Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
