the cornering is awesome compared to stock stivo~

ride comfort is not bad!!

well tehres me

umm gus from leeming

ronny from winthrop

some red stivo down my street i mite ask

and phil from north area

and one more dude white stivo too

so including me i can get 5?

Yep, the litres used is always lower by about 10%(well just under) then what it says on the trip computer. ie if it the trip meter says you've used 60L it really is only about 54L used.

Also the range on the trip computer(on mine anyway), is calculated with 60 litres in the tank, and not the actual 70 Litres that is really in the tank. so the trip meter will read LOW once it reaches 60 Litres, and the orange indicator will light up shortly after that. (which is the common practice, as you should not allow the petrol level reach too low, as stated in the owner's manual).

With the debate over the RON level to use. There are differences in the fuel efficiency. I usually stick to 95 RON, but pour 98 every now and then, only if i am at BP or Shell, just because i don't wanna be rorted that extra 1/2cents by Caltex and Mobil(haha). I have tried all the below(except synergy 6000) and would usually stick to petrol @ either BP or Shell. Caltex fuels seem to be lower in efficiency(Mobil; just don't seem to be anywhere near one when i pour petrol)

The Fuels currently available on the market are(other than unleaded):

Company - Type - RON (Price premium over unleaded)

Shell  - Unleaded 95    -95  (+6c)

Shell  - Optimax          -98  (+10c)

BP      - Premium          -95 (+6c)

BP      - Ultimate            -98 (+9c)

Mobil  - Synergy 6000  -95 (Don't know)

Mobil  - Synergy 8000  -98 (+11c)

Caltex - Vortex 95        -95 (+7c)

Caltex - Vortex 98        -98 (+11c)

About my efficiency, i don't think you'd wanna compare mine to yours, as i have 235/45R17 which is wider tread than the normal, and also larger in diameter, hence will use more petrol just because of those two factors. Pressures are kept at 34PSI.

From nearly 20000km of driving(from new) the overall average is 13.67L/100Km. The minimum i have achieved is 12L/100km(only half a tank)in city driving, and 11.2L/100Km in country driving.

But all those numbers are all dependent on the way you drive.

Thats all for now.

hey 34 PSI is really quite low for 17" low profile tyres

try inflating to about ~40 PSI u see ur fuel economy will improve :)

get the rolla and camrys to go for a cruise in perth together?

skinhead

i was refering to the squeeling brakes

it is like seriously high pitched :S

it gets really irritating!

hey man go a stivo

u will know when u test drive the ***** :)

and when u get ur stivo u will

i repeat

will mod your car :)

allrite! if u say theres nothing wrong *phew*

the toyota service centre i went to wont do anything about it, so i may go to another service center!

vomit

Hey guys

i took off my wheels to clean the inside brake dust off

and noticed there is alot of rusting in the picture i've attached ( rear left ), ive compared it to the rear right disc and there is minor rusting but not to this extent...

my rear brakes squeel like anything when i reverse i dont know if this has any contribution to the problem.

any advice on this would be great, as i hope theres nothing wrong with my rear discs, incase in emergency braking!

as usual when i went to toyota to look at my brakes explaining the problem, they said "its perfectly normal"

=/ i dont think that amount of rust is normal tho

isnt that the sportivo wing?

u stole my rims...

u can keep the tires tho~ just gimmie bak my damn rimsssssssssss

damnnit sorry to hear mate

hope u sort him out good~

one hit for team white :(

Can I ask where this info came from?

It seems strange that Toyota are carrying over the Echo's engines to the Yaris with no power loss, yet the 1ZZ is copping a power drop, even though its a newer design.  Surely if the Yaris meets requirements, then the Rolla should too? 

←

I am working for Toyota.. those info are for internal use only. The electronically controlled throttle body are easier for ECU to control the maximum power output and reduce the emissions.

About the 15" disk brake, Yes, Ascent used to be 14" steel while they upgrade to 15" steel but they did no upgrade the brake to fit 15".

←

thats what im saying :)

so they should have adequate space from the 14" to 15" to upgrade the size of the disc/calipers!

1.5k

umm if u want to retain your stock 2.25 inch piping like i did

get a good brand muffler, i got apexi n1

CAI, i opted for a short ram apexi power intake

Springs + rear swaybar + front strut

you get the best of both worlds!

do you have to do clutch and flywheel together?
