  1. there's a few 4agte's with over 400hp ATW, in 1600 form. The OLD rigoli corolla had 326kw ATW, the speedtech DX corolla has about 500hp the last I heard when it was running 10's.

    For a laugh, have a read of the celica forums and see how many people have broken their turbo 2ZZ's in comparison to the turbo 1ZZ's... turbo 1ZZ's are leading the charge in terms of reliability.

    Yes is pretty amazing what the 4agte can do. But i was refering to the 2zz, with the high compression ratio, is really hard to get anything out it.

  2. Hey fellas.

    Im from Sydney and i recently purchased a 05 Corolla Sportivo in white ;).

    Now i'd like to know if any of you guys have mpg's or video's of Modded or stock Stivo's

    either on the street or on the track and so on. If you please give me some that would

    be a great help!

    wow so many new Sportivo owners.

    Im new myself :) Nice colour btw.

    Check out the Gallary section. There is alot of very nice Rolla there.

  3. rollamods - Yes you are right, the front LSD helps alot when existing the corner.

    Blue_Stivo- yes i bought it from justin, Top guy :D . I havent start spending money on the car yet. Not sure if i really wanted to, because i inten to use it as daily. Otherwise there is no point buying this car.

    1.17 is a excellent time, with those mods. :), i be going somewhere in feburary, i probally post up a eoi in the event section if anyone wants to go.

    SILVABULLIT - Luv your moto :D. Balance is everthing

    I bought the the cat and pipe off justin and gave him back the muffler. IMO justin pay too much for the system. I dont think it did anything, maybe has more top end and the finish wasnt great either. Change back to the original muffer, much beter response.

  4. the suspension is already been fix. I was just comparing when the car has stock suspensiuon.

    Im now running

    Tein HA coilover

    Cussco front and rear struct brace

    Cussco lower arm bar 2

    Cussco Front and rear sawy bar

    Csssco control arms

    Next think i need to change is the nature links and cussco tarmac centre diff.

  5. Sounds like a female name!

    Man you should do better than that with your STI!!!

    yes she is a female... lol

    yes i should, but im not a pro. :lol:

    The thing with 4wd is they intend to have alot of understeel, i can not go in the corner as quick, otherwise i would steel out of the track. The 1480kg doesnt help either.

  6. blah, clearly i have the wrong car, I definitely take preference in power over handling, although I do enjoy a vehicle with good handling, but it means nothing if the car goes like a lawnmower in a straight line.

    Nothing beats the luxury of being pinned back in your seat when you plant the accelerator, although i do have respect for a nice long 180 degree drift at 100 kmh, which isnt really handling because good handling shouldnt really drift... :P

    You are half right.

    If you have good suspension set up, you can go in and out of the corner much quicker.

    In APPC

    Wakefield lap records

    class C Leanne Ferrier (Toyota Corolla Sportivo) 1:13.0843 08/08/2004

    In his class the engine and brake has to be stock. All he has is suspension set up and semi slicks, This prove you dont need power to make the car go fast.

    In comaprsionm i have a 02 STI with 231kw @4ws with no suspension work and road tyres, i only manage 1:16.

  7. Hello everone,

    This is my first post, so im going to give you guys abit of intro.

    My name is Leon, recently bought a 05 Corolla Sportvio im starting to love it. I was intentionally buying a DC2R, purely becuase of their handeling. But so hard to find a good condition.

    From reading most of the threads this forum, you guys are all into power/kw.

    When i bought the rolla, it had a cat back 2.5 inch exhaust,. All it did was making noise, so chuck it away and put back the standard one back on. After putting the standard one back on, the car feel much more responsive. When i had the exhaust it takes forever to reach redline. BUt now is so much smother, absolutly luving it.

    I myself dont really care much about power, what i like is the response and handeling of the car. I want to old pac a couple of times with my corolla and i can say the handeling is not bad at all. Sure there is alot of bodyroll but i can feel the chasis can take it. The tyres arent bad either, good wet tyres.

    I be taking the rolla soon to wakefield.

    So what are you guys into?
