  1. im up for it. Just installed the 4.1:1 diff ratio today too which will hurt you even more. .... without a doubt i can beat a stock sportivo. Now i wonder how i can do that? Under my hood...
  2. i like using water. sometimes i even use soap.
  3. no... this is a P.O.S..... That thing is just wrong.
  4. what the panelvan man said: "BUILT, NOT BOUGHT" For under $3000 i have myself an AE71 which already lays to shame a sportivo in a straight line, and occasionally outhandles them. If you want to see just how satifying it is... read this: http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=m...1661991d9612ab9 with that $3000 i have: # bought the car # upgraded to a smallport 4A-GE # upgraded the diff to a 6,7" T series # lowered the diff ratio to 4.1:1 # Upgraded the braking ability # had an absolute blast the whole way # had even more fun shocking and beating almost every brand new and recent hatch/compact car available on the market.
  5. It doesnt take much to give them a bad name in straight line performance! Heck even my piece of turd 1984 corolla whips a spotivo.
  6. i say yes. the sportivo roll aonly has a 1/4 mile time of 16.1, which is pretty wussy (my 26yr old celica is almost that fast, with a dead motor) and it weighs around 1400kgs. The Camry weighs about the same, has a bucketload more torque and more power. They are also 5 speed. I think i know where my money is............. my rolla.

  8. very much agreed on the note of Pedders/Jax/most places will tell you that you have worn shocks so that they HAVE to replace the entire strut....... The number of AE82, AE92, AE101 and other corolla's that i have seen with munroe struts is unbelievable - considering that all those struts are very easily rebuildable with a new insert. If you lower a car - you should definitely get shocks that match. Else disaster will follow.
  9. wait wait wait..... $500 for CAI?? JEEBUS!!! My entire exhaust system cost that much. from engine all the way to the rear! Man if i had a new rolla i know where my money would be going....... **looks at the factory 2ZZ-GE headers ending in a 3" collector.
  10. wow... and to think i wasted money on motor for my corolla for the price of your eyelids!!! WOW.
  11. and just what exactly are you thinking of putting into what? if its an echo... i doubt there is much in the way of engine conversion for it, being so new and all.
  12. just use a 3s-gte turbo manifold on your 5s-fe - the internals are plenty strong enough.
