spotted silver facelift rolla sportivo in back street of figtree.

looked like you were having trouble finding reverse.

very nice car indeed

what else have you got planned for it?

or you happy with it as is (i mean i would be)

for me to put in a 70 - 80$ filter

it'd have to really need it heheh :P :D

i geuss if it gets really bad then ill just drive around with a mask

wow what a difference!!!

looks really good

well done.

i had to call them once but cant remember the number.

try this one

Customer Relations

(Toll Free) 1800 252 097

(i got it off the toyota website, if its not the right number, they should be able to give you the right number.)

very nice car!!

what else has been done to it other then whats shown in the photo?

yeah i have to agree

so to counteract the weight issues they should put the 2zzge engine in it :D :P

now that'd be a weapon!

hey kelvin and ekky

how you both doing? :)

btw its michael (stephs bf)

hehe

hopefully they dont stuff ya around and say something like

"under normal driving conditions its fine so we cant do anything"

but yeah theres definately something wrong

after 2 - 4 kms of driving at low revs sees the temp gauge go up.

and rev limiter goes up to 8,200 (or whatever it is)

Princes Highway Figtree

Spotted a silver stivo looked like it was lowered on kings super lows. It was like looking in the mirror

did that car have euro plates?

cause gf said she saw one at the same place today around 5:15.

yeah just checked mine and its not there.

probably wouldnt have known that it was missing had i not read this section lol

i went to phil gilbert (i think thats the name) toyota today and enquired about the air con filter and they told me that there was no filter that came with the corolla. they said they might be able to get a lexus one, as all lexus models come with a filter, but it would cost 70 or 80 bucks... stuff that...

how annoying is this lack of a/c filter?!

that seems a bit weird that toyota made a spot for the filter but didnt make an actual filter for it?

hmmmm

thats pretty sucky that so many came without that filter.

i wonder if i have it... <_<

anyone know off hand how much they cost?

walking is so over rated.

take the 60cent bus :D

NSW - Wollongong

spotted 2 sweet looking corollas last friday 7th april.

( though it was only a passing glance cause i was late for work)

one was blue and one was silver, both with hoods open.

if ya stuff around with them heaps and get no where

talk to the "customer service relations manager" and make a scene with them.

to be honest most of the service ppl are the type that say "what problem? its all in your head!!!"

(nb. this might not be the scenario with other dealerships)

dont think albion park is any better

after a few weeks of having my sportivo, i found it had a leak in the A pilar caused by a spot weld that had gone through and made a hole.

took them 2 weeks to start work on it cause they had to take pictures and send them to toyota , ( mind you i couldnt park the car outside if it looked like it was going to rain), they took the roof lining apart and apparently fixed it!! ( they replaced the hoodlining and a few other things)

then a week later at car lovers i was greeted by water, and this time they fixed it with some sort of sealer.

im gonna take it to a body shop and get it check out. the last thing i want is for it to leak when its out of waranty.

but yeah they had the car for 3 whole days and they didnt do squat.

end rant.

my 2c

fingers crossed you can find the problem and fix it before it gets worse.

hope ya figure it out.

ps. had the same problem with the dealerships,

called the wollongong dealership for the 1k service and when i get there on that day, they tell me im supposed to be in albion park, wasnt a happy camper.

you'd love wollongong then hehe

the first time i walked in, they said i could have the one there for $34500 drive away

if im free on the 28th ill be up for it.

should be a hoot :D

hey all,

i too have joined the rush and will be picking up a 05 black corolla sportivo from sydney later today and cant wait!!

had a few issues getting it, but thats all behind me and now i just want to drive it. :D

oh man, when'd you order that and how much did you pay?

about a week ago from ryde toyota, and got it for $28500 (plus $500 transport costs) sent up from melbourne. only one black was left in nsw that they new of and it was right infront of me in the wollongong toyota. only prob was they wanted a rediculous price for it so i went interstate and still saved $2500
