If its just one tank, you can't really make a final conclusion about the 100 octane fuel. Remember you will still have other petrol in the tank and pipes so it may take a few tanks to flush the old petrol out.

As for 100 octane fuel, my mate runs it on his WRX but is constantly tuning his car and says he can tune it better with 100 over 98 (probably not the best english there) but hopefully you get the point.

The other thing is, doesn't Shell and BP 98 still contain ethanol, but it's just in a lower percentage? If so, what is it?

Thanks

Edit: Also just saw you have the ZRE so as per SD above, if 91 is recommended go with that.

Yeah, I should be ok to come then. I'll bring my camera's and walkie talkies!

I am assuming its 26th feb? About how many are going in the celica group and how many are going from here?

Thanks

In that case, I better not show you this:

I believe this is Manabu Orido & Nobuteru Taniguchi who are basically Keiichi Tsuchiya's proteges!

Just read through the build. Nice work. I love these cars and would love to do something similar. Unfortunately, I need more space! Hopefully your coming down to Melb for the Annual meet so we can all see this in the flesh.

It's official:

Ready for the cruise or perhaps track day!

I had a blast on this one. I hope to contribute more to the next one.

Again, I have exams during this period. But i'll try and go to at least one night or day. I'll be in for VIC but will let you know when I get my Trimester 1 exam timetable. I will one day be free of exams, one day ...

The first drifting video I found of the new 86 with Ken Gushi (Formula D Driver), Enjoy!

Awesome shots!

So excited that I'm going to be there twice!

I thought someone would come along and clarify, thanks Hiro & 450HP.

Hey, welcome to the club,

The 6 speed manual is the ZZE123R with VIN AHT = South African

This is the Toyota Corolla Sportivo (2003-2005)

I believe the 5 speed manual turbo is AE112R with VIN JT7 = Australian developed but I believe it was built in Japan. (don't quote me on it though) Also only about 100'ish were made so not very many around.

Most, if not all corolla's to come to Australia were and are Japanese built. However, I think in recent years they are made in Thailand for the Aussie market. (but again not 100% sure)

Hi Jo,

Welcome, please, come in, look around! Good to have another melbournian!

Check this out too:

It's a great way to meet others of a Toyota like-minded pursuasion.

P.S Search function in top right hand corner is a great tool

enjoy

dont wanna hijack your thread but check this one out

Go figure

Washed, cleaned rims and BLACK'd tyres (MCM reference there), Clay bar'd the whole car and then topped it off with some shiny wax!

Bloody hell it takes a long time but the results are worth the hours

Damn, I really should keep up with this thread. I've done this new route many a time and its awesome! I'm UHF'd up too :P

I'll probably have a mate with me in ma car too.

Looking forward to the meet ;)

i'd love to do a gymkhana in the stivo. Lots of handbrake!

thanks jeffy, gonna get me some of those i think, maybe!

DS in the city was $109, where did you see them for $89 as in which store?

i'll keep searching and hopefully i'll find 'em cheap in the city

As soon as I posted it, i realised, then changed it but clearly you got to it b4 i could!

whats the weight difference between a 205/45r16 tyre and a 205/50r16 tyre?

So diff is in the profile. A lower profile can provide more steering accuracy and grip however may compromise ride comfort. Lower profile IMO looks better though. A lower profile generally results in higher prices too.

As for weight, which I didn't read initially :P , 45 would be lighter but by how much??? Don't know

Sorry for this useless post of mine <_<

First off welcome to the forums.

Secondly, check out the top right of the screen for the search bar because as I discovered when I first got on here, a good 90% of anything that can happen to the sportivo, a member or 2 on here has had the same thing happen.

I use a Nulon 5w-40 which is great as you want protection from startup all throughout the rev range + LIFT as the temp rises.

Many other members use something different so have a little bit of a search.

Don't hesitate to ask as everyone is very friendly, and we even have a spot for stupid questions too:

Enjoy :D

if you don't mind me asking, or maybe PM me, how much were the CB's Jeffy?

i'm in between the Uniden UH037SX-2NB & these which I believe are the 38SX,

***** Smith has the 37 for $60 while the 38 is $109

EDIT - stupid censor! you know the one, DSE power house
