I spotted your old car behind me passing through Heathcote heading Sutherland way. no pics sorry. Also spotted Charlie in his ZRE yesterday arvo. Looking good man!...cars not looking to bad either ;) *ba dum dum tish*

JB- hi-fi, Autobarn, any good car audio store :) You want to ask for the toyota ears. haha cheers man. I noticed the answer was infront of my eyes last night but didnt re-re-edit my post before I went to bed...duurrrr.

Quick question. I picked up a new Kenwood HU and was looking at installing it myself as I wasn't keen on spending $100 to get it put in!! are these the iso plug's I'll be needing? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toyota-1987-stereo-ISO-WIRING-HARNESS-plug-connector-/260669355581?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb11ab63d + http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KENWOOD-ISO-WIRING-HARNESS-plug-lead-connector-wire-/260669248130?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb1191282 or will I be ok with just the first one? (I'm just going by the example they have further down the page) HU is a Kenwood DPX-U5120 if that helps. Cheers for the help! EDIT: NM, I found a store that had them in stock. Just finished installing it then... NEW QUESTION!!! lol what do you use to fill in the gaps on either side of the headunit?

Sure do, 16x7 +30 Really? they look smaller, maybe 15x7? . Also I'm pretty sure Equip 01's only come in 14" & 15" (unless they're reps). Every time i scroll through the rolla page on JDMST and see that pic, Juvenile...I always stop haha. It really is a nice looking car but the wheels seem too small imo (still seks though!! lol).

Sorry dude, I would rather sell it as a whole then bits here and there. If I do sell stuff separately you'll be first to know if your still after it. Thanks anyway man.

Bump!

Yeah I spotted you there. When you parked infront of KK's you were facing right at me haha, I left maybe 3-4mins after you parked (you had gone to a mate with a charade i think?). I was in the black on black facelift, this one (but my GF's driving lol)... but its far from slammed lol, i think the black wheels help it look lower than it is! haha

Was that at KK's by any chance? If so that might of been me (black on black facelift?) I was talling my little brother how much I wish I had a red stivo haha. With regards to op's Question, I paid $70 per wheel (I think?) and I got them done in "satin" black. I also got the option to choose between a matte, satin or gloss finish (extra $10 for gloss).

Had a chat with the owner of a silver facelift stivo at the Cronulla BP yesterday arvo. anyone on here?

have you tried holding the window switch up or down for like 5secs? (im guessing you have but if not...) when my battery was disconected thats all i had done to get it working again.

haha that was me dude. i gave you a wave as i went past but wasnt sure if you knew it was me lol your car looks good with the new wheels.

i see at least 1-2 times a week, a black 05 sportivo lowered with dark tinted tail lights on heathcote Rd heading liverpool way. wondering if your on here lol? Also another black sportivo in woolooware. I always see you turning right on kingsway to go past the golf club. (spotted you the last 3 days lol)

hey Guys, Quick question...i'm pretty keen on getting an injen cai (part No.RD2082P) for my sportivo and i was just wondering if anyone has actually installed one? I've had a read in the CAI buyers guide and from what i can see it should fit but i wanted to know 100% before i go throwing money around. If anyone has installed it, could you give me any heads up on any troubles you may of had/things to make it easier to install. As far as i know its best to remove the battery and front bar...so yeah, any pointers? sorry for making a thread on what may have already been discussed, mods feel free to bin if need be lol. Cheers for the help. -Phill

haha yea man, i live in Ambajail. I will have to keep an eye out for a silver preface from now on.

ahhh thanks again mate, helped heaps. if i ever meet you around c-town remind me to shout you a beer haha.

Rolla & Sao Boy...this goes to you. thanks for that link mate. and if you already have those pics of where you mounted the ballasts then that would be great. p.s when you said the 03 doesnt have that cover, does that mean it looks like what the 05 would look like without it, or is there some form of protection? if not is it all fine and dandy? i might stop stressing if it is lol cheers buddy

so yesterday my HID's came in and i had a go at trying to install them myself. i didnt end up putting them in due to it getting to cold & dark + the stupid wind but anyways... the problem(s) i got are that... 1. you know the black plastic cover that goes over the wires/bulb and stuff on the back of the headlight? well the part that holds it in has snapped somehow. (will get pics of it soon if you got no idea of what im on about.) at the moment it stays on but im just unsure if its something that has to be kept on... would having it off result in moisture getting to the headlights? 2. BALLASTS!!! where did you guys mount yours? can they be mounted with out having to remove front bars?? ect ect... also is there an easier way of installing the bulbs as it seems the sportivo bay is a bit of a tight one. (or am i just being a bitch? lol) cheers for the help guys. edit: sorry, its an 05 corolla sportivo.

what are the pedders coils like? would you recomend them for daily duties? love your ride man keep up the good work.

i'm thinking you need to get some pics of it during the day. TBH at the moment its a no lol. but i think its just the pics! really keen to see what it looks like during the day cause im thinking getting mine powdercoated, yours arn't PC are they? they seem to have more gloss the a PC job would have.

haha SIFF!!! thanks Charlie, it probs only looked clean because your eyes were still adjusting to the surroundings after i flashed you ;) (with the high beams that is...) i love your lights!! i think after i get rid of my ugly wheels im going to have to invest in some HIDs, but yea man your car is looking great. lol @ spotting in the same place again!!!

in the corolla part numbers thread stickied, it says to get this part no for sportivo. so should be right? Injen CAI - RD2075P P - Polished R - Red B - Blue Blk - Black sorry for the noob bump. so will that intake will fit an 05 sportivo? and if it does, is it a pretty straight forward instal?

Another addict signing in lol. maybe 3-4 weeks ago a mate and myself had a go at "claying" our cars. Like DHC09 it was our first time so we were in shock at the difference it makes, the roof was the highlight lol so this is my car, the reflections of crap everywhere kinda do the car no justice in the pics...so just look at the bonnet lol and my mates roof lol....so stoked at how smooth it was...we kept sliding microfiber towels along it lol. and his door... so i have question. how often should you clay your car? i had a skim through the thread and i may have missed it. its just my car looks like ***** after the rain these last two days + build up over the weeks and i wasn't sure if its ok to go nuts and clay again. cheers guys, Phill

pretty sure i seen Flipsta24 yesterday arvo comming up to the c'town hospital. and i got a massive feeling i know who your are lol... i was in the black stivo going the other way.
