Hi guys,

I toke my stock Sportivo (05 model) out last night to WSID for a change as I did the clutch in my Clubsport at the drags a few meets ago.

no access to scanner, but time was

60' - 2.335

330'-6.494

660'-9.885

1000'-12.800

ET-15.287

MPH- 90.45

Top speed was down

This was my 4th pass. Other passes in the 15.3-15.5 range. My fasted MPH pass was 91.33 @ 15.358

?? What revs are people dropping it off the line. On a few passes I could not get off the line due to wheelspin and axle tramp.

???What revs are you guys shifting gears, as I am not getting the top end speed.

Also, as the car is shared with my wife, and does a heap of highway (M4) km's, so not hitting 6000+revs very often, would the computer be changing its performance/settings so when I do hammer it, I am not getting the result I would if I hammered it everyday?

A apologise in advance for Questions on this thread, but they are related to my timing sheet.

Thanks

Jason

Thanks xGSiR for the welcome,

I ended up paying $27,500 on the road inc. Alarm upgrade and mats.

It was invoiced mid november, so I think a good price at the time (compared to prices I see people now getting - $25k). It is the endless circle - when do you get on, as the price may always drop, but you may also miss out.

I am happy, just taking it easy till the 2000km's mark before I start giving it some. My other car is a HSV Clubsport, but too dam expensive to run. I like the car, just needs a little more - lowered, window tint.

When/where is the monthly meet?

Hey evl 50a - I am out Penrith way.

Hey congrats on the purchase, come to the monthly meet next time and meet other Corolla owners.

How much did you purchase your car for by the way?

I finally put my name against a New Sportivo. Can't wait to get it.

Does anyone know of a good Window Tint shop in Atarmon or Penrith areas? Dealer wanted to charge $500+ for tint.

If anyone is buying, I would recommend Chatswood Toyota followed by Penrith. I found Chatswood were a little easier to deal with straight off the bat for price, but Penrith could offer the same after some hard haggling.

Does anyone in sydney have any good prices on insurance? Mainly interested in prices below $900.

Thanks

Anyone know how much the Lowered Spring set is for Sportivo?

Is there any market for 2nd hand springs - just if I buy the lowered springs - can I sell the originals which will have limited use?

Hi,

Where did you get the Tint done. I signed up for a car yesterday and they wanted to charge $545 for Tint.

Thanks

this is the sunroof model i have on my sportivo,

Webasto Sunroof - Hollandia Stratos700/43-5,

i got it done by toyota b4 they delivered my car, cost me $2500 back in 2003.

the tints i got them after market the dealer sent me to where they send all their cars to me tinted and they charge you 495! i got  darker tint for only 220.

Some mor questions for you

What alarm system should I get. So far the dealer has given me an option of a standard upgrade for $295 and then the next up is $495, which I believe has usual sensors.

How much is a Sunroof?

How much do people pay on the street for Tint? And any recomendations?

Thanks heaps for the info. Hopefully by Monday I have my name on a Sportivo. Will let you know how I go. Going seeking tomorrow, from what some of the dealers are saying, there are still new stocks in their holding yards, so we have a few weeks yet before they dry up.

PS. I rang Chatswood Toyota, and asked about the $25990 deal, but hey said it was actually 27990 plus onroads. (not trying to get anything started - just relaying what Toyota said)

Thanks

- Carpet and Fabric Protection.

- Leather and Vinyl Protection.

- Sound Deadening and Dust Sealing.

- RustStopper Electronic Rust Prevention.

- StealStopper Security System Alarm Upgrade.

It works, I have had these products installed on my last four vehicles.

Hi,

I am looking to buy a Sportivo this weekend. Car looks great for the price.

What options do people recommend?

How much is the Sunroof?

I also am buying through leasing company (www.novalease.com.au) on a Novated lease, but they do give me the freedom to buy from any dealer so I can shop for the best price.

Has anyone contacted Chatswood this week about their pricing?

Thanks

Jason
