  1. I reach the rev limiter on average twice a day. After resetting the ECU, i can feel the power. at low rpm, i can feel the torque now As you know, paying me ***** to reconnect the battery-->have to turned alarm off, and have to call the dealer for audio security code
  2. Thanks. There is no serial number at the menu or some other documents, need to call up dealer.. so I guess everyone call them after battery reconnection !! Update: After calling the dealer, they tell me the number.. it is different for each dealer
  3. correct if i'm wrong but usually its the last 4 digits of your serial number. this can be found on the sticker that you get from the RTA. if not, it should be in ur service book or owners manual I have that number, but it is called something like "Pin overide" to disable the alarm, I want to renable the alarm, not disable it.. I have the alarm key, so... Research in the internet gave me not much info, this is very frustrating
  4. I have an alarm installed from Motorone, which comes from XPack when I purchase the car in Toyota 1. First I used my alarm key to turn the siron at the back of the engine bay to turned off the siron 2 I disconnect the negative terminal of the battery 3. After reconnecting the battery for 10 minutes wait for the ECU reset 4. Turn the siron back on 5. Start the car, and the audio system said "SEC", whatever button you pressed, no response The alarm is working normally, there are beep sounds, it locks up itself after 30 seconds, what went wrong? This is annoying, that means I dun have audio after changing the battery few years later
  5. Sorry, what do u mean by it would be better with a 7500rpm cut out? the factory red zone is 6200rpm, u mean we can push over it? I can tell you, I can feel a big difference between a full tank and an almost empty tank. After a full tank few days ago, I have no mood to push the car.. I am expecting changing the header will have bigger effect than the CAI Have you restarted the ECU by disconnecting negative of the battery for 10 minutes.. (I just realised that I need to turn the alarm off in order to disconnect the battery) My driving habit is driving at below 3k RPM most of the time to save petrol, so that's why I cannot feel it.. After I installed my CAI, my car can drive at 60km/h at 6th gear in a little steep road.. That's my benchmark of measuring, before, I cannot... (Dun laugh at me,I know I got a strange driving style) I have ordered the NST pulley as well, and will put it on next week... (I dunno what I am doing, still want to gamble on the reliability of my car) May be my fuel consumption can tell, I save 10% of fuel after putting CAI on...may be another 5% after header, I dun know !!!
  6. I received my header, it is a registered post, turned out that the parcel is sitting in the post office for ages.. The delivery address is just located at the opposite side of the post office.. How funny is it? This is Australian postage !!! Anyways, I installed my header today, took 2.5 hours, since the header is too hot, some time is wasted I installed it in an exhaust specialist (Sydney Hi Tech Mufflers) who put my catback system before.. Their comments are quite negative about my header.. 1. They said the factory header is better 2. They said my header will crack after one year because the original header has "something" to stop from cracking They also asked me whether to replace the stainless steel cat convertor as well for $500. However, I say no (they try to convince me to install, and I said someone did an dyno test to remove the cat convertor and only saw 3hp gain) The end result, to be honest, I feel nothing, but dutch101 said he felt 3-5kw increase, may be I have to wait for my ECU to get used to it... If you compare the headers with the factory one before, there is not a big difference, the tube side is only a little bit larger and the factory ones is 4 to 1 instead of 4-2-1 Please refer to johnnieboi post for headers comparison. His pictures are much better to see. He cannot feel the power increase as well after installation http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26792&st=75 I have done a research and i cannot find anyone complaining a cracking weaponR header so far.. Anyways, here are the pictures Original heat shield for the factory header , the new header does not have place to install this Oxygen sesnor of the header Factory header My peddars coilover (not related to this post)
  7. There is a thread here regarding a turbo update ,please search Here is one turbo kit from Phillipines, for Toyota Corolla Altis, this car is popular to modify there http://www.speedlab.com.ph/turbokits.php
  8. Anyone successfully connect Nokia phone to the car bluetooth system? I have followed the menu and cannot get it worked out? Some people in other forum said Nokia has some issues with bluetooth.. Anyone can point me in the right direction? I am quite new to these stuff I want to talk in the phone just by shouting out, there must be some sort of sound receiving device in the car I am suprised that my Ascent version got bluetooth as well !!! considering I have power windows at the back
  9. I have peddars coilover as well, do you think we need sway bars? I am pretty happy with the peddars coilover already.. What settings do you use for peddars? I use front 8 rear 10.. Since street driving has slow speeds,it is pointless to set them too hard.. Before, I set front 15 and rear 10, but has really bad understeer at front wheels, now with front 8 rear 10, the balance is just right If I have ever has a chance to go to Eastern creek, I might set a lot more harder for both of the front and rear...
  10. yes, same date on 20 oct.. i spoke to ATC, and they have it insured and send to me again..I will ask for tracking number this time Hope to get it next week!!! P.S...I occassionally heard courier stuff up in Sydney.. my friend is a fashion wholesaler and have issues with courier all the time, no matter it is international or local Very happy to c the header is a simple bolt on from dutchie
  11. I am still waiting for the header, think the courier lost the parcel, so sad.... ATC did not have the tracking number of the parcel have to negotiate with atc with another one if I cannot see it within weeks I post it to my office in CBD in sydney, not sure why it get lost !!! I dun know what the australian post is doing !! so sad
  12. Keeping your wife happy is another business !! Not many people like "hot" rollas, especially female Regarding the menu, someone has uploaded a a japanaese version auris menu here, i dun think u find it useful
  13. Just let u know I at the back of the car menu (jap version), it said 0w-20 is for new car because it is good for fuel economy The higher the second number (in this case, 20), means the higher speed and higher workload that it is suitable Not sure if the english version say this
  14. Sorry to be honest, but not a fan. Seems like they have a whole range of TRD Sportivo parts on the car, but none that really compliment the car. Makes it look really kitted out, overtop almost. Seems like thats the tuning style of some overseas modifiers though. It is a limited edition of trd sportivo in Thailand, only 2000 are produced. You can refer to another post in the forum here http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26199 Thailand, Phliipines and Taiwan treat Corolla Atlis crazy. They have paddle shift, CVT, aftermarket turbo, car racing such as Their culture of car modification is more crazy
  15. Another header from Phillipines http://www.speedlab.com.ph/ppaltis.php
  16. http://www.speedlab.com.ph/turbokits.php Full turbo kit for Corolla (Altis) in Phillipines
  17. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27724 dutchie101 and me are getting the headers from America, should be arrived next week.. Also, Yaris TS is using the same engine 1.8 Also, Scion XD is using the same engine Check also Malaysian Corolla forum as well
  18. Just also let u know that when I bring this filter to the local mechanic, he asked me "Are you sure you bought the correct oil filter". I replied "Yes, there are instructions inside the filter, just follow it" You can ask the local mechanic to keep the dirty paper filter so that you know it has been changed. That mechanic reaction told me that he did not c this kind of oil filter before For your reference, below is the Zre-151 oil filter http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_G_2007_TOYOTA_COROLLA_ZRE151L-GEMNKC_1502.html You can also see the other parts of the vehicle in this link
  19. The picture is as follows http://www.megazip.ru/ru/auto/toyota/view/399/3559/38369/355939#g355750 I think there are instructions at the back of the box, if u dun know, ask the guy who sold the part to you.. You cannot get aftermarket oil filter for this model at the moment
  20. Volkswagen Polo comes at $27k with 1.4 twin charging and 132kw, with a fuel economy of 5.9L/100km,, that will blew many competitors away.. If I buy a car now, I would not have bought my current Corolla half years ago with no rear power windows and moon roof! They must lost so many sales because lacking of these bloody features.. They better import the valvematic engine to gain the market pace within the coming two years, that 1.8 engine saves 10% of fuel and increase 10% of power
  21. zre-154 is different from zre-152 I have posted the assemble map of both cars in this forum, you can search "assemble map" When I service my car, which is zre-154, I have to buy the filter from Toyota and asked someone to change it.. The oil is filter is different because according to the guy in toyota that sold that oil filter to me, it is more environmentally friendly.. I am suprised because I paid $20 to get a paper oil filter !! It is like a cyclone paper filter..
  22. Today, when I cleaned my car, I found out the wiper has created permanent mark on my screen.. When I use my finger to touch it, the "wiping area" is more smooth.. From what it tells me, the wiper has wipped off some kind of material on the screen, so it is more smooth.. My car is only half years old of age......Is this normal, or should I go back to warranty?? Also, I found out Toyota has removed the sticker on the bottom left of the screen. That label told you the average fuel consumption.. I found it out accidentally in a cold raining weather where there are fogs on the screen.. Not sure whether you guys found that sticker mark.. PS. Hope thw modeartors of this forum does not mind I post too much!! and might be asking stupid questions
