sounds good.......but sunday is not good for me...

Sux

Call a professional mobile paint touch up repairer :D

Where are the ones in brisbane located??

still fun to watch and cool to look at though.......

Just got home with my new Yaris.

Pics when it is daylight and im not at work.

I'm amazed at the power the 1.3L engine has. To be honest, I was expecting the pickup of a loaded semi.

1.3L???? why didnt u get the 1.5L??? u can tell the difference cause i have a 1.5L an the other day i had a loan car which was a corolla an its a 1.8 an i noticed the difference!

u'll really notice a difference, when u have a fully loaded car.....

Rear sway is not hard at all. Relatively straight forward install. :D

Is the front just as easy as the rear?

as SB has said, the rear is pretty straight forward (having access to a rattle gun makes the job a lot easier too)

the front however can prove to be quite a hectic exercise, if u dont know what u r doing (requires the removal of the subframe i think )

removal of subframe...what is that?? with all the torque number needed to screw the the thing back on....that means i need something electrical to put the bolt back on?? mm..dont' have anything like that at home........ :(

After spending long hours thinking about this...i've decide to place an order.. :P

Can I get front strunt, front sway and rear sway...thanks..

....by the way......how do i put them on once i get them......never done anything like this before in my life....

Handling.......its always nice ot have a responsive car that does what you want it to do...than to have one that has heaps of power...and just end up in the gutter becasue it doesnt' turn when u want it to...

nice

interesting......sounds like fun.....

oh cool.......mm.....i bag a seat.......who got a spare seat...haha...... :P

Who (as in who is carl marx??)

I think whether u go through uni or not...depends on what u want to do in the end......its always been my dream to be a mad scientist.......therefore i don't have much choice but go to uni....

But in the end, it doesn't matter what kind of education u get, as long as you enjoy what u do and have some sort of goal in life.....

Name added!

Yep, I'll definitely be there...not to race though..whats test and tune??

Hello...nice to meet u..

cargo

Was working as a research assistant in queensland institude of medical reserach (working on group A strep vaccine development)...when i bought my corolla.

I'm now doing my phD...

2002 Ascent sedan

Good job..

corolla

no offence i dont mean to be rude but why upgrade on a auto transmission car? Would there even be a huge if not a worth while job doing (money wise) without sounding loud and going nowhere? Its just that i have had to auto tranny cars and thats all they did even though there engines were great and torqy they just sounded too drowny because gear ratios anyway tell me too shut up if you guys want thats my 2 cents worth....

I agree that most autos are difficult to deal with when modded, but if the mods are done right, they can be fairly fruitful.

Our wagon is running just a K&N panel filter and a 2" exhaust from the factory resonator back to an Ultraflo muffler, and I've definitely noticed an improvement in low-down torque which has made the auto all the better to drive. The exhaust is only noticed when we're up it, and we still get a lovely little growl towards the upper revs, but when we're cruising its just a slightly louder hum in the background.

My preference is for a manual, but the wife only drives an auto, so we have to compromise ... the wagon will never run with the better modded manuals, and nowhere near the Stivos, but its definitely nicer than stock.

mm...buddha..interesting....i was thinking of getting extractor and exchaust for my auto sedan..what do u recommend...i don't want something too loud...but any increase in low to mid range torque would be nice..

Why are you all going to replace your systems with the same diameter piping? 1zz go 2.25" and 2zz you go 2.5". If you really want an icrease you'll do it or if your after noise or a fancy tip and muffler you'll do whatever you want. But average Jo blo exhaust shop doesn't have a clue when it comes to our cars.

If any of you want a Sportivo cat back for your 1zz then PM me as I may just have something for you ;)

As always, you're a fountain of knowledge, Silva, but I just have one amendment ... I think in another post I think the jury was still out on whether the Stivo cat-back was of benefit to auto 1ZZ's. We only have one such case on record, though, so if another auto 1ZZ owner wants to give it a go, talk to Silva about the Stivo cat back he mentioned above.

Svalerko put a sportivo cat back on his 1zz and got gains proven on the dyno. I agree with you on the auto side of things buddha as an auto does drain a hell of a lot of power out of the motor. Maybe with an auto try the 2.25" diameter with a slightly more restrictive muffler to increase the back pressure a bit.

My thoughts on the matter but it could be worth a shot.

As for putting the stivo cat back on the sedan I've had a look and it does look to be the same floor plan as the hatch. Easy way to check is get the 2 side by side and measure the wheel base from stub to stub as the rest of the underside of the car is the same. But they do look pretty close. :D

mm......silva which muffler would recommend then?? ( a more restrictive mufflier..which type?)..

ok guys ill be closing this tomorrow so ill get all the payment details sorted over the weekend and ill place the order early next week

so..do we pm u individually..or our previous message on this thread will suffice..?

HI Northy,

If you are still ordering in the slimeline weather shields... put me down for a set...thanks..

oh and...silver will be good..thanks

Don’t get me wrong I love it and use it all the time :) especially to avoid the Radar….

Just a couple of experiences with it , I had an aftermarket one on my 1990 Camry and it decided to keep accelerating up to 160, I had to kill the ignition and pull off the road. This happend more than once, so I stopped using it ;) Just wondeing if this happens in other cars

Friends of mine fall asleep within 2 min on any form of transport, not a fan of driving with them I am convinced they will be more likely to fall asleep at the wheel not from tiredness just there nature of napping at any opportunity. :o

ha..faulty aftermarket stuff....the cruise control on my mom's avalon works just fine..

hehe.....well..have fun.....it will take a few days doing them urself.....2 or 3.......

I won't be there tonite. I have a real urge to catch up on some much needed sleep.

Hey northy and svalerko can you guys give me a short ride in ur cars in the next meet. I would like to see how your suspension setting feel before i make my decision on what i should get for my new suspension. Will probably make a decision within the next 2 wks.

At the moment I'm thinking of Teins, cusco (corey suggestion) or whiteline (mates recommendation)

Cheers
