NRG

I am now giving these coilovers away for free..

if no one wants them...they are going into the next council cleanup!!

Sorry offer withdrawn!

Abit too far to travel to grab these.

Awesome opportunity for others though.

Spotted a White ascent or conquest corolla zze on parramatta road five dock saturday night around 10 pm heading city bound.

had stickers everywhere on the car. literally stickers on every panel. and a tiny canon exhaust? anyone ?

yea thats what i was scared of not enough back pressure and losing low down torque for everyday driving.

but i hear that theres like 3 settings? closed, Half open, full open?

So being that you have a varex would you say its close to stock quiet if not quieter when in full closed position?

Hey guys,

looking at getting a Cat back system Varex on my sportivo this weekend.

I was searching up on some old threads and alot of people are using 2.5" systems.

Now I've been to about 4 exhuast shops and each 1 thinks that a 2.5" system is too big on 1.8L..

should i still press on and get a 2.5"?

Also is there alot of greater advantage of a mandrel bent system over press bent?

And will anyone with a varex like to share stories or more specifically if the noise output is close to standard when in quiet mode? and how much?

cheers

Just saw this over at ozhonda

http://www.toyotalabs.com.au/index.php?act...amp;productId=2

so who's up for one?haha

could also be worn tires?

i know that after i replaced my tyres my steering got alot lighter

NRG, i think you missed the point of Fads post. The ecu senses when the oil is warm enough, and then once the engine reaches 6000rpm it triggers oil pressure to push a pin out to "lift" the engine onto the high cam

ohh i was kind of thinking that we would have a solenoid that is activated by the Ecu when the settings are right

e.g. Rpms, oil temp etc

then to which the solenoid open up an oil passage that allows oil pressure to be applied to the pin to which engages the high lift cam?

lol might sound intimidating but always wanted to know how it works in our cars as it is a very similar system to vtec

thought i saw the lift solenoid last time i took my engine cover off..

just a thought that possibly the ecu is connected to an oil temp sensor to which then the ECU recognizes a warm oil temperature

and engages lift only when this oil temperature is high enough and when u hit "WOT"

otherwise if it oil driven lift would always be activated wen the oil is warm enough

i take it the car is fuel injected so possibly run a diagnostic check?

if nothing shows up there i would say fuel problems..fuel pump, injectors etc..

just my 2cents

sorry man the guy hasnt been on msn since

and he doesn't come on these forums much anymore coz he aint got a toyota no more.

his system before was running a 4 channel amp

so i take it he amped the fronts whilst running a sub as well

haha yea the car was serviced well i think....

not too sure on the thrashing side..but everyone will say they dont thrash their cars

i'll ask him if he can contact u via msn or sumthing

but i can tell that ur worried haha

he was asian and he was 18 or 19 wen he got the car

how much u pick up the beast for?

and welcome to the forum

i think i may know who owned this car previously

i think it should have around 70000kms on the car

and running sumitomo tyres?

if it is he should be on the forum as well.

thanks .... awesome feedback

picked up the car hopefully it turns out fine when registering it

thanks for the replys, very useful info

in regards to a receipt of purchase would that be an equivalent to the owner writing a letter that he sold the car to me?

Interested in buying a car that was previously registered interstate and now is in NSW

since this car hasnt been registered for about a year now

does anyone know the process of changing name of ownership on the car whilst unregistered?

do i just use the interstate papers to change name?

thanks

p.s wouldve rung the RTA but they are closed and wanted some opinions

also that pulley sound that you complained about earlier

is most likely the tensioner pulley.

a mcchanic at toyota told me he has replaced a few celica ones.. hope that helps

whoa thats 6k i take it?

just enough blue when you look into it and a white output... awesome work.

lol sorry as stated above

thats a car with the 1st rims on it

IMO doesnt really suit it

4th ones are HOT

i'm very interested as well

i will paste an email that he sent me...

spotted a prefacelift blue sportivo on saturday night on george street

think it was xoom?

also spotted a white facelift sportivo on the main road outside livo KK's on sat night

giving it a lift hit!

i currently have an 05 sportivo with about 35000 kms on the clock

i've had this problem with my gearbox where in the morning on a cold start.

In the first 5 mins of driving if i want to shift back down to 2nd to take off again,

it feels as though there is alot of resistance in letting me put it back in.

i try to nudge it into first and still wont let me put it in (at less that 5km/h).

i have to come to a complete stop to put it into either 1st or 2nd gear

after it warms up everything is smooth

i was told that the 2005 sportivo's had the clutch problem fixed already?

could it be the clutch plate or otherwise?

hope to get something out of warranty for this

anyone else have this problem?

cheers

After selling our Corolla (05' Ascent) in pretty much 2 days, we are getting a new model conquest hatch!

Picking it up tommorow, can't wait!

Will write up how it goes.

hey

i just sold my 2004 ascent without rego but 34,500 kms

for 14500

dont know if i got a decent price

cheers

Spotted a silver facelift sportivo this morning playing with me in traffic on the way to the city, plates like BAZ** or something else i can't remember lol

hahaha i will own up to that one..

saw a dropped corolla with p plates...couldnt tell if it was a stivo coz u badged it at the rear

so had to take a 2nd look haha

and it all went from there... nice car mate.. lowered perfectly! hoping to drop mine soon

was a fun drive!

in saying all this

would a hid conversion kit melt or discolour a headlight lens?
