  1. similar to what i had on the levin but 2.5" and a bigger resonator! Sounds like a rally car now! :D CastleHill exhaust again Pete? Xforce twin tips?
  2. Trust me I had a Hyundai few years back they suck big time. Gear box blew up. JPS137 I'll make your mind up for you. Found it in Autotrader you negotiate $1000 off you have a virtually brand new sportivo cheaper than a base model ascent. Toyota Corolla Sportivo 2004 Front wheel drive silver hatchback 1.8L 6 spd manual, 4000kms, air steering, dual airbag, sbs, full option, black leather interior, 1 yr rego, mp3 CD player AZY-14Z excellent condition $20999 negotiable HECKENBERG 0402-96 0214 or 02-96078686.
  3. In all fairness I thought Toyota rectified all the clutch and gear box issues in the Sportivo by the release of the 2005 facelift model. As for the pre 2005 models Toyota did recall those models for adjustments/corrections. You guys make it sound like the Sportivo is Hyundai built quality which is a gross exageration of the truth. The sportivo is still a reliable car.
  4. Yeah definately will post the result when its done. Are you keen to Dyno yours too?? PM me if you are
  5. Anyone have a set of these springs for sale?? Or willing to exchange for a set of pedders 35MM drop?
  6. Dude stick with Premium fuel. 95 as a minimum
  7. Both good car but to choose I would go for the Sportivo if they are both within your budget. I'm sure LIFT is worth the extra $$$. Ask CORZZA
  8. It was suppose to be direct fit but.... On my model the original engine pipe flange needed to be cut and re welded to the catalytic converter, some models have a flange join at the catalytic converter and no welding required [direct fit] Got the stickers from Ignition-X ages ago. Nah I actually like the contrast of the black fog light covers but I do want to paint the headlights JDM style. Thanks mate cya at the Jan meet
  9. Maybe you should speak to Danz in Melbourne. I remember he purchase a AEM CAI and arranged his own shippment back to Australia. I think he said it would have been chepaer and less hassle to get the supplier to send it. Good luck mate.
  10. Just get a rear skirt so all you can see is the exhaust tip. I believe you can fit a silencer on a S12.
  11. Hi Guys, Any obvious ways of telling the difference between a new tyre and a retread tyre? Just that I found a shop that sells brand new Kumho KU31 in 225/40/18 for $155 a tyre. Its a good $30 cheaper than anywhere else in Sydney. Thanks Gazoom
  12. I would say he just got lucky. Maybe a big drug bust in Aust Customs that week and they didnt worry about the small potatoes like a few car parts. But I wouldn't be importing goods counting on being that lucky every time.
  13. Spotted Black Sportivo prefacelift outside Lord Nelson Hotel, The Rocks
  14. Jaspher, Its true for X-Force twin loop. We cannot be 100% sure in regards to the X3 Ebay one. All of the twin loops on this forum are made by X force a local Australian manufacturer. Good luck and let us know how you go Jaspher Cheers, Gazoom
  15. I think it was $1000 USD. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...622&hl=duty
  16. Mic, Depends on how much you are importing. If you get 1 CAI you can say it for personal use only not for resale. Not GST probably no Duty. But went I tried to get 10 AEM CAI I spoke to Aust Customs and they told me 10% GST on the entire value of the goods and shipping. Then another 10% on duty. Thats why group buys for overseas suppliers are not worth it IMO. Cheaper to go individually through ebay. INDECENT(group buy king) always uses local suppliers. Good luck mate. Cheers Gazoom
  17. Ozzy tyres does K-mac springs custom for whatever height you want. I remember 2 corolla's have had it done on hear. Do a search on kmac springs
  18. HOT HOT HOT!!!!! If I had an award I'd give one to you. Keep up the good work
  19. No Genie/Wildcat does not make anything for 2zz. But.... Chris down at Best Mufflers does alot of custom work. I was told that he designed the prototype for X-force for the Mazda 3 headers they sell.
  20. Just got my car back from Best Mufflers in Carlton. Had the Genie (Wildcat) headers installed today. Have to say so far I'm veryhappy with the results and service from Best Mufflers. Danz and Hsien you guys are spot on the low and mid range feels very different now much easier to drive. Cant wait to dyno the car. Anyone want to come in Sydney?
  21. I agree My understanding is exposed air filters in the engine bay is a defect. But the K&N apollo is ok as the filter is enclosed in a cover but still sits in the engine bay. Hence why I have the heatshield on my SRI.
