you sold it?! no!!! :P what are you planning to get next? It sorta just was time and I got the perfect buyer as well. No new project car for now. No time. Too much to do at work. That was also part of the reason why I sold it. Bought a Turbo/Supercharged Scirocco instead. No plans other than enjoying it... :D http://www.corollats...d=640&mode=view

Thanks :) I just managed to get the new front on before I sold the car...hehe Here's another couple of shots of the rear:

Finally got the new front on. Facelift TTE front fitted on a pre-facelift. Not a straight fit, but eventually got all the bits sorted out in the right places.

thanks :) Bumper was painted last weekend after having spent about 20 hours repairing it. Having some problem with the brackets for the new headlamps, but it'll get sorted eventually. Trying to modify the exisiting ones to fit the new lamps and bumper. Sideskirts and Sparco seats yet to be fitted.

Here's my work in progress... Some highlights: - 2003 pre-facelift T-Sport - Retrofitted TTE compressor kit (done) - Retrofitting facelift TTE front bumper with teardrop headlights (in progress) - TTE coilover kit - 18" OZ Racing - Customized stock Corolla hood - Customized center console - TRC tuning side mirrors (not depicted) - Custom split catback

ps....why do you think I put safety glasses and hearing protection on Looked like an idiot standing outside the car looking at the dash!

Appreciate the heads up. Duly noted till when I replace the seats. Although it does sound somewhat off that unplugging the airbagharness from the seat can cause it to set off the seat airbag. Not that I doubt your info (cuz I don't), but the plugs are readily accessible without doing any disassembly of any sort and that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen... ;) Either way the dummy plugs worked....for me! Test at own risk on your own cars...

Backed the Rolla out earlier, unhooked the airbag plug from the seat, plugged the dummy plug from TRD in, put on some hear protection (you never know what might happen), safety goggles and turned on the ignition. Airbag bag went on....then....whaddayaknow...it WORKED!!! The airbag lamp went out and all was honky dory. Do I'm defo putting Sparco seats back on my mod list!! Here is the pictures you wanted, with partnumber and all :) I got my plugs from Jason at Greenline Motorsports - http://www.greenline.jp/

We're not playing with the airbags...just disconnecting them! ;) I got the plugs in the mail today from Japan. Unfortunately it's ****** down with rain here at the moment (could have been worse and be snowing!), and since I don't have access t a garage big enough for me to properly open the door I have to wait until tomorrow to see if the plugs have the right impedance. That is...if they even fit...don't know the connectors are the same either. At least they have the same color...hehe. All will be clear in about 22-23 hours from now :)

Greenline MS. If you hold off a couple of days I can give you the answer, and possibly save you some money.. ;)

Hey, I'm looking into the exact same things these days with my T-Sport. According to Toyota, if you disconnect one airbag it will shut down the entire system. Not a good idea. If you unplug one airbag the light in the dash will flash, but nothing else happen when you fire up the car. I just did that the other day while I had my passenger seat out. I did not, however, try to put the seat belt in, but I can't for the life of me imagine that anything would happen. As far as the car is concerned there is nobody in the seat anyways. TRD has airbag warning canceller plug thingy, but this is not listed as being compatible with the T-Sport/Sportivo. But..I have a couple of them TRD plugs on the way in the mail, and I think they will arrive tuesday or wednesday. Then it will take me about 2 minutes to find out if those plugs will do the trick or not... Alternatively you can, as mentioned, measure the impedance in the seat in order to make your own canceller, but you do run a risk of blowing the airbag. At least that is what everybody has warned me about... EDIT: I ordered the cancelers from Greenline Motor

You got a link to the company that has those lights?

This was an interesting little thing. Anybody know if this plug will do the trick on Sportivo/Corolla T-Sport?

The 2ZZ can indeed be E85 converted. It has been done in Sweden with success. That car ended up with appx 10% HP gain @ the wheels and (according to the owner) a significant torque increase in the lower half of the range. He did have some trouble with coldstarts once the temp dropped to around 7 deg C.

Stock bonnet works just fine with any of the listed SC options.

IMO the easiest fit would probably be a TTE kit that was made for the European Corolla. Problem with that is that TTE is all out and I doubt there are any dealers with any left. Second option down that route is to scramble together the parts from here and there. There are at least one company in Canada that has a few TTE kits (not complete) which they use for Lotus rebuilds. Might be possible to get from there. The GReddy kit can be made fit the Corolla. There is a guy in Hungary who has done just that. Specifics of the mod I don't have, but the car is up and running. It shouldn't be a problem sourcing the Ogura supercharger, which is the one used in the TTE, but I would be surprised if going down either route would entail anything less than a massive websearch and cost to scramble the parts needed. There's a guy in Canada who has just converted his Matrix to SC using a semi-complete TTE kit. As far as ECU goes there is no need to replace the stock one. Going piggyback does the trick just fine with ignition, fuel and supercharger clutch control. There is a significant difference in how the engine behaves in the mid-range when it's SC. Even with the stock Ogura pulley. I feel that it's more a driveability improvement than sheer power, as downshifting isn't all that crucial anymore. I don't regret a second that I SC my T-Sport, but I still need a good launch to beat at NA Rolla. All powerbenefits aside...just the sound alone makes it all worth it!! Gotta love the SC whine :D I do have all the Toyota partnumbers needed to complete the kit. You can download it from my site, or send me an IM / e-mail.

i just looked on ebay n cant find anything??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-06-COROL...#ht_1479wt_1186

You can find them in red off of ebay. I bought mine there. Should be a link a few pages earlier in this thread.

I actually e-mailed the guy making the ones on Youtube asking him about making one for the Corolla/Stivo. He had/has no plans of doing one, but if he got sent an instrument cluster he could try to engineer one. Cost? Well...he couldn't say for sure, of course, but anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars up to a thousand for the job....and you still gotta supply the cluster! Not sure what the cost of the cluster down there in Oz, but up here in the cold north they run around $1200 AUD. So..let us know when you have shipped off your testcluster!

Has anybody actually installed theirs yet? Got mine off of eBay (probable same stuff you have) and the installation manual said there would be wires underneath the exisiting sills....hehe....nope. They run on the other side of the rubber seal. Same on the Stivo I assume? So...to save me some thinking I was wondering if anybody had installed and how you decided to run the wires?

Sounds all good if you're 100% sure you cut the right wire in the ignition barrel...hehe On my Rolla I found that I had to ground the voltmeter somewhere else than in the ignition barrel in order to find the correct wire to tap into. Using the barrel ground wire yielded more than on wire option... Now, of course, I can't remember what the color was on that wire, but then again it might be different from your Stiv anyways...might have been blue/white..hmm.. During my install I did make sure I had the right wire before doing the actual cutting by testing the button with the wire from the relay just latched onto the stripped ignition wire.

Verrry nice!! :) Are those the C-One eyelids you got on there?

Hey,The 12V + signal used for the start button can come from any wire that goes live when you turn the igniton "ON". I wouldn't use a constant live 12V wire. Since I completely chucked out my cig lighter I simply used the 12V and ground wire that came off of that installation....hehe Just to be clear. There is only one (1) wire that needs to be bodged into the ignition harness, and that is the one from the relay which goes live when you activate the button.

1. ground + 12V + ignition + signal from button are the four wires. I think my ignition wire was blue, possibly blue with white stripe. In any case you can easily find this cable by measuring. It's the only cable that gets 12V when you turn the key to start. 2. No. It's just a replacement (or addition) for the last step of the key operation. You still need the key to turn the ignition on.
