  1. 248kw atw and not a single gearbox issue at all, unless you abuse your car the stock gearbox will hold up just fine. Are you referring to me you ***** lol !!!
  2. I know all about what happens when you slam gears at 8000rpm the gearbox goes bang as mine did last weekend it destroys the diff
  3. the one thing you havent touched on is the gearbox weakness as I found out this week it is easily destroyed hey Corey lol
  4. Mine is very low atm i would think lower than 90mm as i got my super lows reset at Kings and Im on stock 16s i moved into a place in brisbane and I cant get up my driveway how **** is that I rented the place and didnt check if I could get up my driveway lmao
  5. Trial sell there 3zz kit which is a 2.0 litre stroker for $4000
  6. *** I love all you little ricer wannabees lol who have no idea about what goes on in Toyota and just say what ever you think comes into your head lol. The all new "Hottest Corolla" is only slightly heavier than the previous model upto 20kg depending on model according to the workshop manual. The Manual Sportivo = 1225kg Manual Levin ZR = 1245kg The 100kw engine with Dual VVTi is an extremely smooth and tractable engine mated to the six speed which has a much nicer shift than our sportivo's however the power is nowhere near what we have. The suspension on these new hatches is a great improvment with torsion beam rear and further lowering of 10mm. On a test drive today a long sweeping corner was easily dusted at 100km/h and the vehicle felt extremely flat and undeterred on the corner (female driver 40yo). According to Toyota Northern Area Manager the lack of sportivo spec Corolla is due to the iminent TRD model due before the end of this year. In a conversation including our Dealership manager it was revealed that a turbocharged FWD platform is in the testing phase. Obviously touting power figures is always going to be a bit difficult to know the truth but we were told the vehicle will be targeting the major hot hatch market Toyota is missing atm. Target vehicles include: Mazda MPS 3 Renault Megane Cup Ford Focus XR5 HSV VXR Honda Civic Type R Anyways thought this real information might be useful for fellow Toyota enthusiasts Luke Kownacki New Vehicle Sales Oldmac Toyota Cleveland
  7. Hi guys I work at Cleveland toyota in Brisbane so I can arrainge a discount for fellow TOCAU members if they pm me we have some excellent service people here so let me know
  8. Yes I have it on authority we will have a TRD corolla by the end of this year and the production model is to be a FWD 2 litre turbocharged item with approx 200kw..... I was chatting with a head honcho at the dealer roadshow today and he says its in the testing phase with neil bates as we speak. Will load some pics tonight
  9. Its obvious that most of the guys on these forums have never driven or owned a fast front wheel drive car, which is not a bad thing just alot of important info to consider. This guy has spent a lot of coin but not in all the necessary areas to create a SAFE fast car... I was having a discussion with Northy and TC the other night about my own turbo setup on my sportivo and these are some very wise ideas that have lacked attention.......... Rule number 1: Fast FWD lack traction so upgrades must include 1.5way LSD + uprated clutch. Getting all that power to the ground is difficult at best and coming out of corners will light the inside wheel like a joke. Rule Number 2: Increased power usually means faster speeds and longer stopping distances so either bigger brakes or better pads, braided lines, synthetic fluid must be fitted (DOT requirement atleast) I am personally looking down the road of at least 4 piston fronts. Rule Number 3: Increased power +++ Decreased airflow by sticking massive intercooler in front of the radiator spells massive overheating issues. Any prolonged high boost runs equals heat build up the standard system wasnt designed to deal with. Anyways guys here is somethings to consider if you are looking at big power hikes and keeping a SAFE reliable car. The costs involved in setting it up right can be staggering!!!!!!
  10. Hi guys I work at Toyota in cleveland and we have our fisrt new corolla already the new Levin ZR hatch is quite awesome but regretfully has the stock base model donk that is meagre at best but all models have a 6speed standard
  11. well i have a rather offensive plate on my car but i love it BLOME is my plates and as the plate says everyone can BLOME lol its a laugh thats all
  12. Its not actaual carbon fibre its a special process that flows a layer on but it needs to be fully prepared like a painted panel then cleared at the end so hence its a specialist job
  13. The carbon fibre interior is a very expensive process needed to be carried out by professionals it cost roughly $300 for all the parts covered
  14. Just installed Vista and I think its pretty good, sure its going to take a bit of getting used to but for the average computer user it seems to be very streamlined to operate........Im sure there are those computer whores out there that it isnt hardcore enugh for ya but Im happy with the upgrade
  15. Im am seriously sorting out the Blitz supercharger kit. You can source one through Autobarn in Australia designed for the ZZE123 and at around $10,000 landed here it aint cheap. I have a friend in Japan atm and I have been able to source a kit for 525,000 yen which is $5526.00 Aussie so as soon as I have saved it that kit is on the way. The Blitz Kit in Japan comes with a Blitz reprogrammed ECU so that will be a bonus I think :) Aiming to save for the kit by September this year
