it totally depends on how you've done the wiring. Do you even have a plug in the loom for the speedo sender if it's fitted to the box? Physically the sender bolts into the box perfectly, I did that on the green turbo zze.

REALLY!!!??? Cr@p!!! i was thinking that it was the ABS that sent the speed signal from the sensors in the rear wheel arches...there is a randome sensor that i cant find a place for, its just chillin in the engine bay, under the battery...

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies...sounds like carmate are Sh!theads...ive just e-mailed castle hill toyota and they have a rear skirt for $375...genuine toyota parts cost alot tho...:( might go for it tho???

Hey guys in need a rear bumper/skirt for my sportivo ascent but ive looked almost evrywhere...and am tired of searching... so if anyone could help out it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Fidz.

you could go to carmate.com - Woodville road Granville.

Got my kit from them some years ago BUT i dont recommend them .. Only suggested it as you are tired of searching...

Yeah thanks man i have had a look, but im after ABS plastic, something a bit stronger than fibreglass...whats so bad about them?

I need a rear aftermarket bumper for my SPORTIVO SEDAN that will go with the sportivo bodykit...tempted to order one from the states but if can get one locally, syd or aust, that would be AWESOME! Any ideas???

Photos of my baby are in the 'ascent to sportivo conversion' thread and my gallery...(for some reason i cant attatch one?)

Cheers guys.

US body parts will not fit. Different body shape. I know you can get a sportivo rear lip for the sedan but I don't know if you can get them from Toyota.

Spwein...stinky yanks told me that they will fit...stinky yanks...:( well ill have to keep looking...cheers you just saved me over a grand!

DONE!!! My sportivo ascent looks AWESOME!!! the JDM mod rocks!!! will post some photos when i have access to a camera!

CHEERS GUYS LOVE THE GUIDE!!!

the 6-speed can accept the 5-speed's speedo drive.

With that is there any other issues? Ive got so many little things to iron out its rediculous! but did just do the DIY tail light mod (jdm?) IT LOOKS SWEET!!! i should have some photos up soon, when my missus gets back with the camera!!!

hahah yeah you just need to do a few extra things...makes it a lot easier if you have a sportivo to use as parts!

Hey man, i got my sportivo from Manhein Fowles auctions, i think they do some auctions around melbourne it would be worth while to check them out, i converted mine to 6 speed manual too so it was well worth while for it, youd pay nearly the same for a new engine as a whole car from the auctions so check them out...oh and have a look at the thread link above...

Hey guys does anyone know here i can get an aftermarket rear bumper for my sedan corolla made of Abs plastic??

Did you have to buy 2 kits or just the one and some extra bulbs???

2ZZ in a sedan is pure horn and gets my upmost respect and attention *Subscribed*

Cheers EvilTwin...hahaha i think so too!! but the worst thing is i think im gonna have to sell her to pay off some of the merc that i ran into...:( :( so devo bout that...in the meantime im gonna enjoy driving what i would think is the only sedan corolla sportivo in Aus...maybe...

i think u got a cheap as deal bro!! he's saving up to buy sumthin better but i aint to sure wot he wants...

Sweet, stoked...when i get the front end painted we should organise a cruise with a bunch of sportivos...i want to see how other people have modified their babys...where did your mate go to get his interior done? do u know if they did the leather seats or is that just a fac option?

WOW looks nice man....HAHAHAHAHA thats funny!!! The cai, mags, soundsystem and stuff got taken out before i bought it tho....really spewin...TRD CAI!!!! so devo...hahaha ill post a photo of what remains of it and you can torment you mate...hahahaha...

yeah man i just msged him not long ago... how much did u pick it up for?? he'll get a better car now.. lol

I got it from manheim fowles auction for $4200, i hope i didnt get scammed...looked like a nice car but....is he still gonna stick with sportivos?

WOW looks nice man....HAHAHAHAHA thats funny!!! The cai, mags, soundsystem and stuff got taken out before i bought it tho....really spewin...TRD CAI!!!! so devo...hahaha ill post a photo of what remains of it and you can torment you mate...hahahaha...

Very interested...the 2zz i bought for my ascent had a unichip...by the looks of things around here they really dont do much...:( will check the ecu to see if its been replaced tho...

Thanks, i really wasnt sure about the ABS, if it would work or not.....now ill probly do the rears, might as well do the lot while im there... thanks again stockstivo...

BTW the 2zz engine dimensions are; Length-652mm Height-602mm Width-659mm...

GTLO5T, hey yeah man, the red one was tboned, it had custom decals down the side....y did u own it or know it before it was crashed?

JJCRU23R: yeah dude it was a mission but luckily it all fitted on the front end, but not the back....if u want some immaculate rear leather seats for ur conquest i have some for sale!! LOL!! And lots of other stuff, like an engine...HAHA...mmmmm i dont know about the conquest, they look very similar, if u want i could get you some measurements of the 2zz engine and u can see it if would fit? HMB bro.

PS does anyone know where i can get a rear bumper, for a ascent that would go with the sportivo bodykit?

Fidz-zze, not sure if thats u, but i think i saw u today, u were heading towards penrith? I was in the silver rolla sportivo haaha

yeah i saw i silver sportivo going towards richmond!!! If the car was 1/2 red 1/2 white then it was me...not hard to miss the big red nose!! HAHAHA

Some Toyotas get the speed signal from the ABS unit ( At least in the States they do )

This could be a reason for the speedo not working.

Yeah thats what i was thinking too, i got a GPS unit doing the speed for me but thats pretty dodgy...:0 so i gotta make the time to put the abs in...fun times ahead i think......

JJ....yeah upgrading was kind of needed as i wrote off my corolla and i found a sportivo that had a good front end...

engine from the rolla out and stivo one in was pretty good, just had to change the engine mounts, use the sportivo engine wiring and dash wiring loom, not having ABS was a killer, no speedo...most of it was pretty straight forward, if you have any problems dont hesitate to hit me up about it, ive probly had the same troubles...i knocked it over in about a week, with LOTS of help from a mate and missus, and many late nights. for me i took out the whole dash (in the pics above) out and stripped the engine bay, are you just upgrading the engine? that would be much easier, and now im just ironing out the little things ABS, radio, speedo, ect. but all in all the enging was the simple bit...

PS. AND LOTS OF COFFEE!!!!

hey dude.. so its possible to change over just the engine and it would run fine? I was under the impression youd need the sportivo ECU, brakes, speedo, transmission, wiring.. (basically everything else) to make the sportivo engine work in a 1zz?

Ohhhh, not sure about that, they are similar, but, i did swap the ECU and wiring, but the biggest issue we had was whether or not to keep the 1zz and just change the gearbox or do a whole 2zz enging swap, we chose the engine swap coz we would have had to take the engine out either way. The manual transmission fitting into an auto corolla was easy, same holes and bolts just had to make a hole in the firewall...breaks were the same, is your car now a sedan or hatch? There are slight differences in the sedan and hatch wiring from the rear electronics, lights ect...

HAHAHAHAHA, a red moustache like that would be quite scary!!! Nah i got the service manual from the thread here but other than that i didnt think much of it, but i will now search for one...cheers...BTW my airbag dash light keeps flashing at me...should i be concerned?
