Rolla Boy

Yekim, there would have been a little difference in the time taken by the mechanic for the service that would've altered the labour cost...

I don't think Paint Protection is available at Panel Beaters...

Maybe you can buy the bottles from toyota and apply it yourself to save some money...

It goes on the same as polish... Do it undercover, cover the entire car with Paint Protection and leave for 40 mins, then take it all off in the same swirl pattern as you polish a car...

Dan, I had the camera ready to go on the passenger seat :D :D :D ...

Never took my eyes off the road, reached over, got the camera, went click and looked at the display screen in the corner of my eye...

All good, got a good shot, slow down now :P :P :P ...

Stuff having one of them...

Dobs you into the speed cameras... No way I'd want that...

Yeah, Sportivo's can make it off the clock for sure...

My alvatar was a photo that I took on the freeway in my car, stocko AE93 SX...

I Take it that you have a new ZZE model Ascent??? If so, the 17's fit fine...

North Shore, Sydney, NSW...

The alvatar says it all...

Stock SX Corolla :o :o :o ...

Yeah man... I get to drive them everyday at work :D :D :D ...

They go really well and I like the lift at 6,500rpm in 3rd gear too... That felt friggen awesome and was too busy looking for coppers so I didn't see the speedo...

They are an overall awesome car, nice design, could do with a lower suspension height as standard but yeah, thats the way it is... The 2ZZ motor goes heaps better in the Corollas than the Celicas...

Even the Manual Celicas bog down really bad on take off... Must be the diff or gearbox or something along those lines... I havn't looked into it yet...

I wouldn't do anything to mine... Scoop is not needed and I like the clean styling of it...

There have been no recalls for the shocks leaking at all...

However, they are not the best made shocks as they come from South Africa and they leak prematurely, the rear shocks on the ZZE122R Corollas are the worst... Get them checked aswell...

There are no other problems with them as far as I know...

And Screaminrolla, nice photo in your alvatar... I wonder who took that shot??? :P :P :P ...

lorman, I love them...

The red one is being fixed up and will be up for sale in the next few months...

Thanks for the positive comments guys...

I've noticed that everything is like Sportivo related...

Your all just gunna have to live with me now ...

Red one again...

And here's the red one...

Here's a pic of the Nice one...

Minus the plates and the wheels...

Cheers dude...

Now it's off to find that section :P :P :P ...

Just a suggestion for a cruises and events section...

Where are ppl from on here??? I'm from Sydney... Any other Rollas or Toyotas from here???

Isn't anyone gunna say hello???

:( :( :( ...

When you take your car to the dealer for a service, request no engine flush, petrol conditioner and injection flush... Thats the easiest way...

Not a problem man... It's not Toyota that ripps ppl off, only the other companies that use our dealers...

We use Fortron Injection Flush, Fuel Systems Cleaners and Petrol Cleaner stuff... They give us days out because we sell their products...

And we only use their products as Toyota doesn't make them...

And the engine flush and petrol conditioner are both 250mL bottles... So yeah, thats another thing that isn't needed...

Stoopid Head, what dealer was that at???

I work at Toyota and I can tell you that it doesn't happen at our work on a normal test...

If we are testing for anything in specific to acceleration or anything to do with power or performance then yes, a good thrashing is done...

Also, Always use Toyota Parts, they are much better for the car... And misc costs are usually around $10 for floor mats, seat covers and waste disposal like regular rubbish and oil disposal...

I work for Toyota and the injection flush is really not needed on a 10k...

It's just fuel and cleaning additives that's hooked up to the fuel line off the top of the fuel filter and run the car until the can is empty... We charge something like $90 per service... It's not Toyota that sells it, it's another company that has reps at dealers that ring all the customers and bull**** to the customers that "Your service advisor has requested that you have the flush done" and stuff like that...

There is no need to get it on a service at all...

When the car has a lot more kms on the clock, and you can feel that the injectors are clogged, then try a flush... If they are still clogged, then take them out and get them professionally cleaned in an injector cleaning machine...

And back to the topic, the only parts needed for a 10,000km service on a Rolla is an oil filter and the sump plug washer...

Just like to welcome myself really...

The Name's Ben, I'm from Sydney, I've got two SX Corollas and yeah, that about sums it all up...
