I've already done some reading with regards to the 7afte. Any chance that this baby could handle some slightly higher boost pressure (around say 12psi)?? This 7afte is a very limited run only for the Oz market, nowhere else if IIRC. Coming from the newcelica forums, receiving alot of mixed comments as to how much the stock motor can handle. Hope you can shed some light on this topic.

well like u've read..i don't think that the engine will be able to take that much as well..i'm quite contented with the power its putting right now...if u're looking for more power..u wouldn't buy this car..:)

its just a great car to drive around..with just the right amount of power..

Hey brother that's very nice, I've never actually heard of anybody owning one, I just read about them in magazines when they came out!

Oh by the way, once you've upgraded your wheels, if you're looking for someone to buy those 15"s that you have on at the moment (I think Toyota call them "Corsa"), come straight to me. My ZZE122 had 3 of those wheels on it when I bought it... I want 1 more lol. Neal Bates bought ALL of the ones Canberra Toyota had in stock for his test cars so I can't even get my hands on one lol.

Nice . Looks really good.

From the photos looks in really good condition. Was it owned by a little old lady who looked after it and only drove to church :D

How many klm's does it have on it and what $ do these things go for now (that's if you could find one).

actually..it was owned by a middle-aged guy who's going overseas to work..thats why he was selling it..he takes the bus to work..so its got pretty low kms on the car..its 67+++kms on the clock at the moment which i think is very low considering a 2001 model.And prior to that,it was owned by a collector of some sort according to the previous owner..some old dude who collects turbo cars..must be a very rich old man!!as for the price..i got it at the 15+++ mark..i think its quite a gd price..:)

Given the opportunity which corolla sportivo would you get? I was juggling between this one and the turbo one, mainly cause I think the turbo one would be easier to drive. Low down torque from the turbo to get this baby moving. I'm going to look at the newer sportivo today, hopefully it matches what i'm looking for.

i'm pretty sure the newer model sportivo is a better drive and has greater power..given the choice..(if i've got the money..of cos the newer model would be sweet)..but..being on a budget..and preferring the flatter body...i got myself the AE112..:)

the ae112 would handle handle better, it has a better suspension configuration.

how much did you pay? as my mate is selling his one too

Hey All..

got my new car yesterday..had it cleaned up and debadged..not much done to it yet..just the small items that were put back on from the old car..

-Rear mud flaps removed

-Shadow chrome side indicators

-Pivot Ignition Stabiliser

-Strut bar

-Tom's radiator cap

gonna do the air intake pipe with an Apexi pod tmr..the current setup is way too long..and lowering springs and 15"Advan RG replica(that was initially meant for the previous AE112) on friday..hehee..can't wait..

the car drives very well..loved it the moment i test drove it..exactly wad my previous AE112 Levin was lacking..that extra bit of power..love the TRD clutch and that spoiler riser that i've always wanted on my previous car..and best of all..got a good deal on the price..:) as they say.."a good buy is a must buy"!!!

will update later in the week with the new upgrades :)

Also..just wondering..what are ur thoughts on the color scheme for the engine bay?what do u think would be appropriate for the Rocker cover that would go well with the orangey-gold hue of the body?i've kinda have in mind what color to do it..but just looking for more options :)

cheers

      E160 Corolla fielder suspension

      Does any one know if the trd sportivo suspension for the 2017 facelift corolla fielder fits the 2013 prefacelift version? Is the chassis the same? Thanks for the help.

      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.
