  1. im with RACWA, they are the best for mods, they will insure anything without change in your premium or excess if its legal : ) im paying 1050 for my car, 40% NCB, no accidents for 3 years, my renewal coming up in june sometime so its gonna drop even more!! i love rac, they've gotten me outta the s.h.i.t hole about 4 times already!
  2. so does that mean if all sportivos are chain driven, we dont need to replace it?
  3. Hey i was wondering how easy it was to change brake pads?? could anyone post a DIY? Cheers!
  4. sorry mario the RAC took the old battery away, he compared mine to the new one he gave me and was like confused, cos he thinks the RAC database is wrong, i told him toyota put the wrong battery to start with, apparently, the battery in my sportivo is different from 'normal' corollas, the 2005 corollas got different batteries too, he said mine was about 3 years old, my sportivo was the first ones to arrive in australia, build date early 03, registered 10/03 i got no sound system in my car, only stock! yeh im gonna give it a wipe inside to get rid of the acid, i thought it was the radiator but the steam was coming out of the friggin battery, scary as hell, lucky no one got hurt, and lucky it was a piece of s*it car that i hit/hit me and not some luxury car if my fender is dented, whats protected by the fender that could be damaged? also off topic, the new rotors that toyota gave me are making that crunching noise when i come to a stop again, but my steering wheel does not shudder so i dont know whats wrong, the pads still got some meat left in them, but the crunching noise is quite scary and only happens when my brakes are warmed up, i dont think its abs because i dont brake hard? please toyota give me a new sportivo!!
  5. OMG, guess what happened tonite? was driving the *BOOM* car dead, swayed onto road, got hit on the side, dented my drivers fender ( not too bad ), dude in green old magna hit me, lucky his car is an old POS, anyway car completely died after late night shopping!!! imagine the traffic, opened by bonnet cos i saw smoke comin outtra my grille, the battery exploded? all this white smoking was coming outta the friggin battery! lasted for like 20 minutes!, called rac had to get a new battery put in, $110 bucks, gg toyota, the guy said the battery was completely dead!, something short circuited? thank *** that nothing else died in my car, the guy said that the battery that they put into the car from the factory was the wrong type :S someone figure??

  10. its 8500! serious!, lol my rsm displays like i can rev to 8500 then it cuts out........ not flat shifting! my highest revs were 86xx or something
  11. go apexi n1 :) niceeeeeeeee sounding muffler + my butt dyno says gained some power
  12. the brake pads squeel cos we got the wrong type of brake pad from factory, so toyota is replacing it under a recall, i dont know which TSB cos the service dude showed me, just take it back to toyota and they replace the pads for u for free :)
  13. i got my rotors changed over a month ago, all 4 were warped
  14. in the mornings when u put into reverse mine used to squeel like anything, however toyota have had a TSB ( technical service bulletin ) and my rear pads were replaced under warranty cos of some recall thing, the grinding noise is because your rotors are warped, mine did that but got all my rotors replaced under warranty mine is a 2003 sportivo with ~34000 km
  15. hey its illegal to buy a car with finance owing on it apparently
  16. lol no! 12000k is umm very illegal but its available then
  17. im just worried that the ECU will relearn and override the SAFC/E-Manage hence why i havnt gone down the route
  18. $10 no worries, u'll need to pay extra for the bulbs and ballasts tho :P
  19. hey sorry everyone im in melbourne at the moment ill be back in perth from the 2nd of may and ill post pics etc, everything u fellow members wanna see, im using 6000k at the moment, those are probably the ones to go because its pure white with only SLIGHT blue tinge! 10000k is like quite blue/purple looks awesome but might get defected, i can get all sizes @ $250 shipped except H4 its more expensive, so if we can get 10 sets together he will do for $250 shipped, but if its less than 10 ill see wat he can do for us! sorry for the absence!

  21. im waiting for the other dude's groupbuy to finish then ill continue with this one, yes its full warranty, if anything is faulty u send directly to him in perth.
