  1. could anybody tell me the maximum tyre size stated on the placard of an 05 Corolla Sportivo??
  2. has anyone bought any rims of ebay from the US?? they seem to have a lot more styles in 18inch wheels with 4x100 pcm than we do here. and are replicas nearly as good as the real deal as far as value for money goes??
  3. hey guys, just wondering if you all wouldn't mind posting up pics of your own rides in order to help choose the right style wheels for a 05 sportivo. wheel specs would be nice too. cheers
  4. hey guys, am seriously considering buying a sportivo in the next few months (with help from my tax return $$$), and i'm just wondering what are the major things i should look out for. i've read to go for one that is completely stock (so its less likely to be thrashed) and one with a complete service history etc, but are there any big or little problems that you guys have come across that could be picked up before purchasing?? also i'm pretty sure i wanna go for an 05 cuz the facelift rollas look much more aggressive, anyone got any other opinions that would sway my decision?? cheers
  5. Is the noise any stronger when turning to the left? If so I've got the same issue but I can't feel any vibration, just hear the rattle. I'm keen to find out what it is too
  6. Red and white? Yeah, the RVs had different colour tail-lights to the other hatches (maybe not CSX), checking Redbook the changeover from Series 1 to 2 was July 1996. thanks guys, I've decided I'm gonna stick with modding all the lights with LEDs in various forms. As for the wheels, gonna contact a tyre place and see if they'll give me some money towards new tyres by trading in the old ones as they are new as well
  7. 205/45/R16 and 205/40/R17 would be the sizes you're after, they are the closest you can get in 16" and 17" to the original rolling diameter (which is important for keeping the speedo accurate). Fitment-wise you wouldn't want to go larger than 17s, and depending on your offset and suspension you may need to get the guards rolled for 17s (16s are fine). As for the lights, personally I'd leave them standard. The centre garnish on the hatch tends to fade noticeably, so if that has gone yellow then swap it for a non-faded one but apart from that there is basically nothing out there. And in my opinion all the aftermarket lights for the sedan look like *****, so you're not missing out. See my mate has some rims that he's gonna sell me with near new tyres on them so I don't really wanna go paying anymore for tyres that I don't really need. And see we've tried the wheels on the car and they don't scrub any of the guards even under load so there's no trouble with them fitting in, its just the legal side of things. I dont mind paying to get my speedo calibrated to represent the speed properly, if thats the only thing i've gotta do. Im actually looking for somewhere, or someone that I can find out what i've gotta do to get it completely legal, so if a cop pulls me up, i've got proof that it's completely legal. as for the lights, Ive seen a few that im keen on if they come in the right shape n size. Interestingly, the centre garnish you're talking about hasn't faded at all on my car and is in one of the best conditions ive seen. Question tho, is it able to be removed at all? Ive seen some of the later model cars that haven't got the garnish around them and ive been wondering if I can possibly convert mine into those.
  8. Hey guys, Just been looking for some diff. tail lights for my 95 ae102 but the trouble is, it's a hatch. All the lights I've seen everywhere else have all been for the sedan. Anyone come across any? Also, been looking at some new wheels for my car cuz it's still got the stocko 175/65/r14's on it with steel wheels, but i was wondering what is the biggest that can be fitted. Looking up the mod document from QLD transport (i wanna do it all legally cuz if i lose any more points i'm rooted) but it says u can only go max of 15mm tyre diameter bigger than stock. If I go bigger than this, do I have to get the speedo adjusted or is there more to it. The wheels i am thinking of are 205/45/r17's cheers
