Is it a Corolla that you have? Also is the tick louder as the revs are higher and start ticking from start up?

Hi Guys, I am just wondering if anyone on here is a mechanic or knows someone that is knowageable with 2ZZ's. The car is having engine problems and I have taken it to a few mechanics and they keep telling that the car is running fine (But is no where near running fine. It has total loss of power/ Lift and has tapping and engine noises). Or they want $400-600 to take the Cylinder head off the take a look. I'm looking for someone on the north side of Brisbane as I am trying to avoid driving it. The problem happend after I missed a gear, I was in 5th doing about 95, and was about to drop it to 4th but grabbed 2nd by accaident and it hit the rev limiter hard for a second or so before I grabbing 5th again. since then it has had a tapping noise which sounded like worn lifters but has since gotten worse as with the power loss. Thank you in advance

Thanks for your help guys. First time pulling off the brake assembly and was struggling to get them off as they have been on there for awhile. I took to it with a hammer and a piece of wood worked a treat.

I'm removing the brake rotor off the vehicle. the is a nut in the centre of the rotor holding it to the axle. its big I'm guessing bigger then 30 mm.

Anyone know what size socket is required it remove to brake rotor nut? Thanks in advance.

Latest addition to the Rolla. Total cost $190, Checker plate $100, Genunine Sportivo stickers $58, Jigsaw and grinder blades and disks $32, Use of the guillotine at work to fit it in the carto take it home Free. Totall time 15hrs. Required alot of testing and ajusting but after alot of anger and sweat got there in the end. Now that im home for the rest of the year, a list has been made for the rest of the addtitions.

When driving under 4-5k Rpm its minimal I would say a 2-4, above 5 Rpm its gets louder and under Lift 6-7 but never too loud. To tell you the truth I with it was louder, on the highway its a 2-3 quiet enough for my wife to sleep in the car or so that I can have a conversation not a problem. The Exhaust is louder outside the car. Yes it was in-stored at CES according to JC (Previous owner) it was. I just moved to Townsville so a meet up could be a bit of a problem. But if you wanted I could post a Vid if that helps?

I have a CES exhaust on my Stivo and I think it sounds like a million dollars at all revs. Zero Droneing. No exhaust will sound good when it is new, it needs time to heat, cool and build up a coating inside and create its unique sound. Give it a few weeks and im sure you will fall in love with it. I put a cat back on my previous car and it sounded like crap for a week or so. My advice is take it for a good long drive at all revs ie dont just sit on a high way @ 100.

Impulse does yours rattle the whole time or only at a certain RPM or Speed?

I just purchased 2 from Japan that have a lot of scuffs and scraps and paid $600 for them + the cost to get them repaired. So no, They are so rare now. I do like the Gram Lights, now they are a sexy rim, you should check them out. http://www.rays-msc.com/wheels/index.cgi?d=72 <<<<<<<<<<< HOTTTTT

There from http://stores.ebay.com.au/Mars-Warehouse They are called BLK Altezza Tail Lights TOYOTA COROLLA HATCH 01-07 RUNX. I don't remember what I paid for them.

There is a few on Car Sales ATM with 80k on the clock.

The rear muffler on your system was replaced at about 100k, depending on how many k's you have done since, it might be worth having a chat with Trev to see what he can do. Im happy to have a dig around for the receipts and scan them to you if I still have them. The system it self would have done at least 30,000k before you got your hands on it, but the rear section was brand new (or pretty close to) when I sold it. It was done at the same time I had CES do the headers. Its done 130k now and this problem started to show up at least 10k ago. If you have any it would be much appreciated.

Dude, there was a CES intake on your car when I sold it? I get the feeling someone at the dealer you bought it from may have made it their own . . . There seems to be alot missing from the car from the time you sold it to when I got it. If only I got it from you when you were selling it on here.

There is a big difference in the price to. CES $512 and Injen $350. Gain over price doesn't seem worth it.
