G'day.....

I have been thrashing mums 00 Ascent for about a year now, love it to bits, so when the time came to get something of my own i didnt want anything else but a corolla so i purchased an 03 corolla sportivo. Was doing some research and come across this grouse little forum so i signed up....

So yeh rad, nice little informative forum and another forum to whore when im bored at work :P

Right on the ACT border :)

I still have to wait till Tuesday till i can pick up the car, but the first time i experienced lift i knew i was in love and it was the beginning of something special and i made the right choice in purchasing the stivo :D

tayles (aka Jimmy) would get along with you then haha, big into trance I think.

that silver stivo would'nt have an aftermarket rear bar and different tail lights etc on it would it?

We know him. Although I'm not that fond of him at the moment as he came round a corner in Civic like a bat out of hell (clipped the corner as well) and scared the sh!t out of my friend and myself <_<

hey simo

its not normal

but when i first bought my 03 stivo i use to have the same problem braking at high speed say at 120 or above

get a wheel balance and if that doesnt fix it you porlly need to get your rotors machined

cost me $70 to get the fronts machined by toyota

Your brake shudder sounds the same as Micky-T, we changed his discs :)

According to Rob I'm a trance fan but I don't really know what distinguishes the trance genre from any other, for example, dance :blink: LOL

P.S. Quangers=QBN???

Trance is a sub genre of dance, big uplifting melodies n stuff, one of the biggest tracks last year was called "lift" :P

And yeh i live in Queanbeyan :(

im curious as to why the steering wheel shakes aswell, as my old man says he notices it when breaking, however the neighbour(our mechanic) and i dont seem to notice anything?

most probably because ur brakes are warped. u have to take to the mechanics and like get them grinded by a machine, so its all smooth again.

Depending on how much meat u got left on ur rotor,If it exceeds the minimum thickness..ur gonna have to replace them,A good brakes specialist or Mechanic should be able to tell you where to go,If its a lost cause might be a good opportunity to change to slotted or cross drilled ( i personally recommend slotted ,cross drilled are expensive & over the top for our daily driving needs)
