  1. peekay34, can you tell me the part number when you get it. i would really appreciate it as i too will probably buy the full trd system(headers at least). thanx. shaohaok, a lightweight flywheel would mayb not effect idle, but it would make take off more dificult in a street car. the flywheel is just like a weight that keeps everything spinning(basically). ive decided its a very bad idea for a street car as it would make it a hassle to drive in traffic.
  2. i found a site: www.carbroker.com.au they can get u good quotes(for a small fee) so it saves time by not going to bargain. they gave me this price: just under $32000 with these options: Paint Protection Fabric Protection rear skirt (rear bodykit) sports grille metal pedals extended warantee (+3 years) mats yesturday i thought that was a good deal, but now that i see sport1vo price i see that they are still taking too much of my cash.
  3. she wanted to : 1) have a closer look at the stivo or 2) a root. :D :D
  4. nice. them trd pistons would b real nice, but ive given up as it would cost too much to gave them put in. btw: why u need so many hdds?
  5. Toyota says it’s working on a radar-assisted cruise control system for cars. Designed for use during stop-and-go traffic jams, the system works by automatically tracking the speed of the car in front of you and sounding an alert whenever they stop. http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=news&cat=4&id=291669
  6. na = naturally aspirated the opposite of this is forced induction (eg: turbo/supercharger)
  7. Captain Upsidedown, just like u we also dont like being told that our stivo cant be made quik. most of us here are young and have never owned a 'under 9sec 0-100' car. so for us this is a quik car and we enjoy tslking about it alot. if u have a problem with that then leave this forum.
  8. the oldsool rollas and the new sportivo have very similar performance. in fact its so close that a bad shift will make it go either way. the only diff is the price, and with price you get better quality(what i mean is leather seats, climate control, warantee, etc). that is the reason we gave up more cash to purchase the stivo which keeps up with 4ag. it was our money and we can use it how we see fit. i always knew that i could get a car for 3000 and rebuild it to b quiker, but i cant be fcked right now. in 5 yrs time im acctually planning to rebuild some old beast with out computer aided drive 'enhancements' that in my opinoin only make a car worse and unsafe to drive fast. imo a computer can never surpass the skill of a good driver(it cannot predict what the driver is trying to do)
  9. i agree with u lucio. it seems like from the first post by u 4ag guys you were dissing the sportivo. thats just not good forum maners. you have to think about how you are writing, u may have a specific opinion but if u post it in the wrong fastion it may come accross that you are attacking rather then comenting. this is because its typed and we cannot hear your tone of voice. its hard to show sarcasm for instance. in such a case people will take it the wrong way and they feel they are beening attacked and will have to defend themselfs (mainly done by attacking bak). there is a easy prevention, common curtisey. dont judge people before you get to know them.
  10. hahaha i know :D . all of a sudden there are like 5 people giving us **** yesturday morning.
  11. ive seen more then 1 mr2 drifitng. no where near as many as rwd tho. if u watch the drift bible by japans 'drift king' (the guy from Best Motoring), he drifts one. BTW unless u dont kno how drift is done or want to kno, dont buy the drift bible.
  12. whats wrong with carbies?? carbies can be technologically advanced, ever heard of side draft?
  13. thats what toyota says. people have gotten 15.4sec easily. the quikest a stock sportivo did was 14.8 in uk.
  14. heres all the info http://www.fulllock.com and heres a flyer. http://www.hot4s.com.au/images/HPI41_Drift%20Nationals.pdf ill post pics from it next week.
