7. Remove the two screws circled in red and unhook the hook circled in green… and with a little bit of a wiggle it comes out (there is a rubber tab that mounts the front of the ECU into the firewall it wiggles out) 8. Unplug the connectors…. and there you have it….

4. Reach in and remove the little plastic tube strut type thing that makes the glove box open and close smoothly, just pull it to the right... 5. Pull the glove box towards you so it unclips from its hinges at the base… 6. Stick your head in the foot well and look up, you will see two “plastic push in clip/screw thingies” (I didn’t take a photo ) pull these out and then rotate the plastic guard towards the floor Here is a pic of the guard thing hanging down the blue circle is where one of the “plastic push in clip/screw thingies” goes…

Hey Guys, I just thought I would share this with you all hope it can be of assistance to someone.... It is advisable to disconnect your battery first although I have been told you can just remove the EFI fuse.... but better to be safe than sorry ;) HOW TO REMOVE YOUR ECU...... 1. Locate your glove box :P 2. Open and remove all you crap from it.... 3. Flex sides of glove box inwards to get the little stop things past the surrounding dash...

Geeezz Northy, get it right :P its an 03 Levin (all be it Jan 03) and i got 79.0KW :P Plus I have done just under 35000K's

I think peekay34 is talking about the facelift sportivo...

and also Carmate

yes they do Jetspeed

I stand corrected....

That is very true, but the AE112R was only produced in small numbers (500 if my info is correct) from march 2001 and in december toyota introduced the ZZE122R corolla, for more clarification see my post here the fact that it lists the ZZE123 as the model and has 2002 onwards lead me to beleive that they are the parts for the zze123 sportivo...... But as tangcla said there are alot of mistakes on the list....

so from whats been posted here I am assuming the 2005 sportivo will be the South African car as the previous sportivo was...... Does anyone know why TMCA arent importing the sportivo's straight from japan?

yeah I should have figured that if it did you would have it :D :P

Hey Guys, TRD do make a muffler for the ZZE123, but whether it has actual performance gains or not it doesnt say but being a TRD product I would assume it would..... Here is the link TRD Muffler Ver.S and then use Babelfish to translate

Australian... :D

Just what everyone does will be fine .... :P :D :D

As the title says..... What does everyone do????? I am a CIR (Customer Infrastructure Representative) ie. techie with a long name :P , for one of the major IT companies in Aus. What about everyone else?

No probs

Hey Danz, yeah i have the S-Tech see Here for pics ect.... If you want some full size PM me your email addy and i will send them through, I will have a look and see if I can find any better ones also

shaohaok is correct, The AE112R sportivo was only produced in limited numbers as Oz said, from march 2001. But It had the 1.8 7AFTE which produced max power of 115kW @ 5600rpm and max torque of 237Nm @ 3600rpm. Just going on what i have heard these figures may have been overstated (wouldn't be the first time <_< ) The current ZZ12# corolla's are the first corolla's to go away from the A series engine since the AE71 in 1983. Here are a couple of links to Toymods that explain the codes ect... Model Codes Engine Codes Eg. ZZ122R Corolla has a 1ZZ-FE ZZ123R (Spotrivo) Corolla has a 2ZZ-GE AE92 Corolla has a 4A-FE, 4A-FC (depending on grade) AE93 (SX or GTI) Corolla has a 4A-GE AE102R Corolla has a 7A-FE AE112R Corolla has a 7A-FE or 7A-FTE (sportivo) It seems that toyota denotes the "sports" model with the 3 as the last digit.....

I didn't touch my bumpstops, As there was no need to with the Tein's as they are designed to work with the standard shocks, struts and all other suspension components.... Not sure about other brand springs though But on my last car AE92 corolla i had kings lows and didn't cut the bumpstops in it either and I never had a problem...

Yep you do have to remove the whole accelarator pedal assembly, its pretty simple just two bolts from memory and disconnect the cable from the top of the pedal arm. The hardest part is removing the pin that holds the pedal on..... i ended up drilling mine out as i didnt have a punch the right size to knock the pin out..... But if you are not worried about keeping the old pedal you can just desrtoy it to get it off then removing the pin is heaps easier, I remember somone here saying they took to their's with a hacksaw.... Let us know how you go :D

kcorro is right.... it is dead easy.... the most time consuming part is getting all the interior trim out of the back..... you can easily save yourself a couple of hundred bucks by DIYing (money to spend on other things ;) ) then just go and get a wheel allignment for max $50....

Hey Guys, I was reading the Suspension, Brakes, Tyres and Rims post and saw the comments about EBC brakes so I did a bit of searching and found the following. It seem that the sportivo has the same calipers as the normal corolla just larger discs, and apparently the sportivo is a turbo ;) I had EBC greenstuff on my last corolla (Modded AE92 with 20V and Larger diameter discs and twin piston caliper brake upgrade ect.) And i would deffinately reccomend these pads to anyone considering changing their pads,the pads were a bit pricey compared to endix etc. but well worth it in my opinion, they had very low dust and stopped excellently :D ......

:D No Probs

The Finished Product

The size difference between the two barrels isnt that great but it is the fact that it is a free flowing unit that gives the difference in tone. The rubber grommets are a real pain in the @ss to get off the mounts but a bit of WD40 helps alot WD40
