Yeah agreed. On the off chance he did want a Sportivo they can be picked up 2nd hand some of them for $20,000 - $24,000 now with relatively low k's. The Germans and Japanese have been the two driving forces in car manufacturing. Safety, performance etc etc. The majority of the German cars are pretty expensive to service as are parts, but by *** they are reliable many of them. in that case, go for VW, same price brand new, no kays :D, as far as parts, atleast yu wont have to buy gaskets Man, if you buy your Toyota filter from dealer, you can ask the gasket for free. If you do your services with them, it cost you less than $2 anyway. No big deal.

Don't think about Korean car anyway. http://www.howsafeisyourcar.com.au/ take a look their result I will look at Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Nissan Tida, Golf, C4 & 307. Corolla is great car for day to day driving. (I don't think he is after corolla sportivo) Otherwise, he won't compare with those cars.

Thx. Was thinking the cover will reduce the noise & less heat for the bonnet. (Will remove the cover shortly haha).

Off topic, Your engine bay looks great. More heat & noise without engine cover :P Will police say anything about it.

X2 I was asking that too. B)

Any Picture or DIY steps? Is it for eyes or really useful for daily driving. (not track day)

I did my paint job close to my home. It was ***** job. Even that is far away, but every member looks love their job. I suggests you get there mate. Even you pay for top price, no mean that guy can do the top job like they did. I am so angry myself didn't get there in the first place. Maybe bring my car next year ask them repaint. <_<

I work for Chatswood Toyota as a mechanic... Seen all good responses from us so far so I have nothing to worry about :) :) :) ... Any others you could suggest us to visit plz? And yes, chatswood was not bad. But the parts & services are a bit pricy.

I asked same questions before. distilled water is so cheap mate & easy to get. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...2&hl=top+up

Ha ha...You sure get great feeling with those shoe mate... This is my first car, what I feel is easy to drive with a pair of Converse. I just can't drive with other kind of shoe. Shoe must be thin or no feeling. ;)

I got a feeling that Air bag is stolen from doggy car repair shop. They take it, and they help you put it back. Big $. Car Windows...Antivirus (Mcafee, Symantec etc) All same.

where r u? I knew Sydney City Toyota open on Sat. But you will have to make a booking. You can find out a list of services center from Toyota site or yellopages. Call them out if you want to get it fix.

We all knew Whileline & Cusco. Andbody know this Nolathane? They do have swar bar and strut bar, any comment?

hehe, thanks, but the question that's been bouncing around in my head is that ive heard conflicting reports. they say if i drive it hard, the engine will get thrashed very easily permanently whilst ive heard again that if i baby the engine, it will drive like a granny car for the rest of it's life. So which one's true? Also, is it worth changing the oil at the 1500k service? and if so, do i go for the nice synthetic stuff, or just some plain mineral oil? I think no big deal...Manual said take it easy, don't push...Hey, but is Toyota Engine, so I pushed close to redline sometime when break in...Of course after warm up. I did my first oil change at 1000K at Toyota...I just want to change that is it.

enjoy it mate.

Yep.

You mean we can DIY? Plz share. Save $ to do other mod.

Let me answer, let me answer... http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_2508/article.html

Japanese Runx have that installed...But not the AU version

That is why sometime (on highway) I push hard...(but most of time change gear at 3000)...worry become slow rolla!

Great job.. :D Well come. Corolla everywhere around the world ha!

Finally, no need to get Lexus filter... DIY http://9thgencorolla.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40451 But in AU where can we get 3M Household Furnace Air Filter? Metro10?
