  1. Chatter box would be a good inclusion to spice up the club a bit similar to chatter box on OZMPS, that way members can talk to each other about anything, car related or not and can only be seen by members it's very popular, interactive and fun on OZMPS.
  2. Wow 10 years is good, after my sportivo got written off , with the insurance I bought an Mazda 3 MPS , great cars and highly tuneable ,and also 6 MPS are weapons too and very cheap u can pick them up for about $16000 with under 80000 km. Stock a 6 mps can launch in under 6 sec flat My MPS has 200kw ATW and it can be achieved with very little mods too its a nice upgrade to the sportivo I assure u
  3. Whats your before and after dyno figures?
  4. I think 20% increase is a bit optamistic for a N/A car, 10% max is a bit more realistic,MRT,Tunehouse,and V sport with tune,headers,induction,exhaust got no more than 111kw ATW which was less than 10% gain and they are the pros in the industry, your probably better to put your coin into handiling and brakes. i would be interested to see what gains you get on the dyno.
  5. At the hot tuner challenge out of the 86 and brz 111kw was the highest recorded thats with exhaust,tune etc
  6. When i had my sportivo my CES CAI did jack all as well, if you take the stock snorkel out of the stock airbox and replace with a KN panel filter filter it will give you the same kw as CAI it was proven on the dyno back in the day,i had CAI,CES headers and catback and i think i only gained 13kw ATW alot of money spent for minimal gain, there are minimal gains with N/A cars ,you get bigger gains with turbo cars my current MPS gained 28kw ATW and60NM with just a tune alone at a fraction of the cost. Even in turbo cars CAI and SRI make no gains only Noise.
  7. I have Tein springs for a 2005 corolla sportivo in my garage gathering dust,sell if your interested.
  8. sell it and buy a sportivo,thats what i did with my 2000 Rolla, only 85kw.Not worth the $ to spend on it to make it go faster.
  9. Scam,Sportivo don't have a timing belt.
  10. chef

    My ST246W

    What is the power figure on this car.
  11. You must have raced an Accord or the driver off the DC2 was crap,DC2 are 133kg lighter and have LSD
  12. love the sleeper look,how many KW.
  13. I use Chemical Guys stuff, highly recomended on all the car detailing forums.Most profesionals dont touch Mothers etc.Once you use chemical Guys stuff you will never go back to mothers or Meguiars.
  14. I would say yes. If your still in Canberra i wouldnt mind meeting up. I dont know any Toyota fans here? If so PM me. maybe we could compare the cars and really find out which is quicker. :-) Welcome to canberra Not to many nice rolla's in Canberra, finally some Competition
  15. please...a more fairer match would be corolla levin vs lancer vrx... why do people "under rate" the corolla sportivo... my 2 cent Dont worry everyone not quicker than our sportivo it took me till 80kmh to catch a vrx sportback,I crunched 1st gear badly.once i hit lift in 2nd it was goodbye vrx.
  16. I wonder if quicker than my sportivo when done?
  17. farrr 18 months til ur rears die... i can imagine how many u go thru with the fronts before changing the rears???? :P :P :P I got over 200000 ks on my 2000 corolla before changing my pads.
  18. Dont trust pedders 28 point safety test, it was on Today Tonight as a big scam. took the car to repair place today and the guy test drove the car , he said it wasnt too bad and that he could hardly hear the bearing .. Suggested to me to drive around till the noise got louder and it was easier to pick exactly which wheel was making the sound and that way the correct bearing gets replaced (Correct side ie).So for now he said dont worry about it. About Pedders Funny because i was the one who told the pedders bloke i had a rolling sound coming from my side and they had the car for 2 hrs performing a $14 test .I wasnt too impressed as i was still in the office waiting for my lift and 10 mins later heard someone hooning around in my car , i didnt think that was a necessary manner to perform the check.I know it probably has to be test driven but i bet it doesnt have to be rev'd over 4K revs.I was tempted to tell whoever the driver was at the time off but it was going to be my loss so i bottled it instead. The service i got from them was poor and not welcoming. All this said , i'm wont be a little bit suprised if you are 100% correct about Pedders being shonky (alteast with the 28 point check anyway) Who tests the car for 2 hrs and only charges $14 ... P Today Tonight took a perfectly good car which was checked over by RACV and a dealer to cofirm all was ok to 4 different pedders dealers for a 28point check check,pedders quoted up to $2000 for repairs that didnt exist.Beware
