  1. 19k? far out that hurts..... i paid $33.000 drive away for mine ......damn
  2. I reckon bout 5,000 ridin the clutch a little with a little bit of wheelspin, grabbin lift in 2nd is easy, revs stay high.... lovin it.
  3. Ok ok, whos the suspect..... haha hitting lift! love the spirit.. two Silver Sportivo's one facelift and the other pre facelift! (JET48U,AXQ39B) Today on Cabramatta RD 3:40PM was two cars behind in my work ute..... 5 more mins and i wud of been cruising with u two in my sportivo lol
  4. I got a set of 18" "clone" AME's for my previous car......... But i knew they were "Not Geniune" I knew they were "clones". i got a set of 4 rims and 4 Falken 215 40 ZR 18's, for $2200 almost 3 yrs ago. I knew what i was getting myself into... and there is deffinately nothing wrong with falken's. quite a good tyre. the "clones" are deffinately gonna be cheap ****, if you want a decent quality, atleast get a name branded rim. ta.
  5. group buy?? im keen if anyone else is.......... hot lil accessorie!! =)
  6. cheers guys, i thought it must have been a puncture or something but just the fact i didnt notice it until **** hit the fan....... it was 540am prolly bit too tired to notice.. aww well, got a new one on.. another cheapy.....see how it goes!
  7. I see your point, but the tyre was deffinately not flat as i set off. and highway driving i deffinately would of felt it pull to the left.... probably just didnt notice... oh well. I still believe it might also due to cheap tyres. cheers.
  8. Saturday. Driving along M4 Motorway, 110KPH, was driving for about 10mins and car felt normal then it just pulled to the left something shocking and smoke was pouring out of the left hand side... dodging other motorists (thank ***) jumped out to see the the inner wall of the tyre completely gone, guards full of rubber........ wonder why? Tyres were fairly new (6/1/06) Silverstone 215 40's.$145 each. cheap ****. but cheap **** should deffinately be a DANGEROUS characteristic of the tyre. Maybe just faulty? Took it to the tyre place, simply said sorry cant help u out there, u can buy a new one on monday though... just wondering what cud have cause it? if its possibly due to "cheap" and "nasty" i wont buy cheap again.... too friggan dangerous..
  9. I got these tail lights from toyota........ easy as **** to install. only thing dodgy is the globe cut outs for the bulbs, either tight or loose, they dont fall out tho....... other then that :P
  10. Ahh okay, thanks guys! Just puzzled me because it has never done it before. I've had my CAI from 1500km. anyways, thx again
  11. 03 sportivo. 40,000km When i cold start my car something odd is just starting to happen. You mildy apply throttle as u leave the driveway, back to first gear and take off, she coughs and splutters. holds at a certain rev no matter how hard to push down the accelarator, feels likes is missing. Injector problem? anyone else had something similiar?
  12. I went to carmate and asked them what they had for my sportivo. bloke just said "oh you have to go website"...... okay and out i went with a wallet full still.
  13. ive had mobile 1 synthethic since the 1000km service. used it every time, as toyota boasts its quality. seems to be good... oil on dip stick is always still clean, still golden even after 10,000km
  14. on a postive note i just wanted to say that my sportivo (03) is yet to have a problem... yes no clunks, no noises, vibrations etc ....... damn gem if you ask me =) 39,000km and climbing.. lucky i guess?
