Rolla Boy

Check your brake pads too, may be getting low and in need of replacement...

Major services on Corolla's are every 40,000kms...

This includes:

Oil and Filter

Air Filter

Brake Fluid

Coolant (some models)

Spark Plugs (non iridium type)

Then it's the same again at 80,000kms with the addition of the Fuel Filter

Sportivo Corolla runs iridium plugs so they are changed at 100,000kms, not every 40...

Hope that is what you were after :)

Sorry guys, will be at the drifting and sound off happening at Eastern Creek that night... Maybe next time :)

Can't see the pics but I'm guessing it's 3M's new wraps, can prolly check it out more on their website :)

Got someone to fix it up and paint it???

If not I've got a few in mind :)

If you leave your defectable things on don't you run the risk of getting defected again?

Exactly right but I modify my cars the way I like to, legal or not and run the risk of being caught... I know the consequences and I'm prepared to take the fall...

I will engineer the cars one day, but not till I've finished them...

If the brake fluid level is full, then shake the reservoir around and slap its sides to try and shake the sensor inside it... Happens a lot, the sensor gets sticky and doesn't come up to the top of the fluid level...

Suzuki Swift (first car on L's)

3 x SX Corolla's came next...

1999 Corolla Levin - Current Show Car / Cruiser

6 x SX Corolla's came after that...

2002 Prado - Tow Vehicle, Now sold

6 x SX Corolla's came after that...

2005 Corolla Sportivo - Current Daily Driver / Cruiser

2 x SX Corolla's just for good measure lol...

Think you can all see a distinct pattern thats happening here, guess whats next :)

I leave my cars off the road for a week to protect the workshop clearing the defects, so I can say that in that 1 week time I've re-done all the mods to the car if I get pulled over again...

If you get pulled over driving on the way home from getting them cleared and they're all still on the car, the workshop and person clearing them will be in big s**t and also most likely have to drag the process through court (currently happening with a friend)...

I'm lucky enough to have two cars on the road and another in the build so I can afford to have one sitting at home and drive another...

PM Replied...

Still looking :)

A $35 inspection will be pink slip only so you've got nothing to worry about... Find someone you know, friend of a friend, who ever to pass your inspection, leave the car off the road for a week and you're done...

Defects come pretty often with my cars, really need to get them engineered but waiting till I finish everything I want to do first...

We've had about 5 or 6 tarago's with the same deal...

One owner never got serviced, came in with 60k and complained about blowing smoke, new engine fitted...

Came back a few years later blowing smoke, retard did the same thing again, new engine fitted...

Havn't seen the car for a while so who knows, I guess some morons never learn...

Probably not...

Note down the part number off the towbar itself and check with Toyota to see what it fits...

PM Replied :)

Anyone else got anything???

Common problem, any sort of charger or non cig lighter will bend the tabs further out than normal...

You could get a 1 - 2 or 1 - 3 Cig Lighter Extender thingy, have the GPS in one side and the cig lighter in the other side???

Engines are built by Chev and the badges look so much better, if I had one I'd so the same...

As title says,

Chasing standard wheels and tyres in good condition, aiming for 50% + tread on tyres...

Also wanting wheel nuts to suit...

Anywhere around Sydney area or if you have something further away, can arrange courier pick up...

Show me photos and name your price...

To save engineering hassles you could always swap to a 20 Valve, still a 1.6 4A so you won't need to engineer, just a blue slip for engine number change...

Best off trying to source a halfcut so you can make use of the front hubs and brakes, wiring, ECU, all fuse boxes, mounts, etc, etc, etc...

Upgrade to SX Disc Rear End...

Wouldn't miss it for anything, been helping Corey out with his Commodore to be finished off this week for the cruise, hoping everything comes together as it was a bare shell on Sunday...

No luck with this one sorry, I only have 02244, removed from a tarago... Not sure if they're interchangable without trying sorry...

Got a few at work from dead engines, will have a look to see if I've got one with that part number... (hopefully they have some numbers on them)

Have a look at the back of the headlights and you'll see two adjustment screws, usually a phillips head screw or 8mm bolt head...

Park the car about 3 metres away from a flat wall on a flat surface and turn the headlights on to adjust them... Screws will adjust up/down and left/right :)

Rewired the stereo in the Sportivo after melting the earth wires, seems I was pushing too much haha...

Wires doubled in size and a quick retune and it's now smashing the volume it used to peak at, should be seeing an easy increase at the next sound off :)

I just twisted the handbrake and earth wire together and connected it to the cars wiring loom... Easiest way...
