Hey,

I did the AAMI driving course on saturday n it was awesome. Taking my stivo through the slalom was great. The standard brakes are fantastic but the only thing is during the hairpin corner the car just understeered. But it felt kinda controlled understeer so i just slid the car around the hairpin. I also think its my tyres cause they are old.

Have you guys done the course n what did u think???

Thanks heaps guys

Ive just got my slim line plates so im starting small with my mods n ill go from there. The next best thing ill do is probably illuminated door sills.

Other than that ill try better tyres cause when i bought my rolla it had the original tyres up from but different ones on the rear called "Supercat"

Clearly this brand is so awesome that nobody will have heard of it. But i think the point about suspension brakes and tyres are the best mods for handling makes sense. So ill look up the tyre section to see what the best ones r.

Thanks again

Hey, just wondering what sort of setup everyone has in relationship to suspension.

It seems most people do the front strut bar and rear sway bar. I understand that they reduce body roll.

But my question is what does that mean for the everyday ride?? Is it harder or barely noticeable until you are really hammering into corners???

And also what sort of handling do these mods offer.

go to www.redbook.com.au as they have all the info on the sportivos

i bought my sportivo a month ago n i was researching for ages what to get and whether to buy the 03, 04 or 05.

the 05 has more features but mechanically i believe they are the same

one thing is that the weight of the 03,04 and 92 sportivos weight 1224kgs while the 5Y weights 1200kg. i got a 5Y so 24 kgs saved but that could be wrong im not sure

good luck with the buy!!

Here's the list so far:

1. azzman372

2. 123r-prozak. Aka daniel

3. MrCrazyRolla (blue) (Sunshine Coast) -- willing to pick up from goldy.

4. Corolla.au

5. Sergio - Red - Sydney

6. kewl10_mac - Red - Melbourne

hope to get more interest!!!!

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 just looked on ebay n cant find anything???

i just bought a sportivo n was wondering if the illuminated door sills r still for sale in red or if anyone wants to sell theirs????

check out the 03 levin as they had the same colour as the 03 sportivo

alternatively, u could try go down to a car yard n see if ne corolla's from about 02/03-06/07 have that little door then just match the paint

i might just wait n see

neway, i have no money left after the sportivo, fully comp insurance, transfer of rego n re-registrating it so ill just save up for a CAI

whats the TRD cai like???

i asked cause u can now get a SAAS pod filter from autobarn for $20. n was wondering if thats just cheap or something that would be a good mod

Hey, not sure if this has been posted b4 but here goes...

i just got my stivo 2 days ago n love hittin lift every now n then!!!

i was just wondering whats better, a cai or pod filter.

cause i can get a pod filter from autobarn for about $30 but thats sounds kinda cheap for a mod but would give a good sound.

n im pretty sure the cai gives extra power but how much????

thanks

I just wanted to hear anybody's experiences with the Corolla sportivo, how it handles, performs, drives, anything that you can think of as i am considering buying one, possibly to 03 - 04 model.

any help would be greatly appreciated
