RedSportivo

lol @ kenshin my car's clutch karked it at same time as yours lool, Well yeah the sportivo's are very lagy at low rev range, but if you do a full exhaust system, with a CAI new clutch lightened flywheel like ive done used same flywheel and clutch as kenshin did.

when people drive my sportivo when its not in lift they say it just feels like it wants go, as soon as lift opens up they freak out all this power from a little 1.8L rolla.

Wasnt turning it into a CES vs others topic, was just stating the fact CES are one of the best and they are pricy i went to one of the best in sydney Hurricane Exhaust *Liverpool Exhaust* and i got my full system with hurricane headers which go 4 to 1 for $1050 to be exact but knowing the guy i got it a little cheaper but im guesing it shouldnt be no more then $1200 from them guys, and they are supposedly to be "pricy" when i tell people how much i pay for my exhaust they freak, like its to much i dont really see it that way because i got what i wanted out of it *performance* even if ces are the best 1000 dollars for a catback system you can do it, but i bet, A full exhaust system from most professional places that are known for good jobs will provide more performance.

And for suspension King Spring Superlows are perfect and legal height in NSW

Is anyone from our forums going to this cruise?

Car looks great if you dont mind me asking what are those wheels called?

Ces are apparently good but that pricing is a rip off I did a full exhaust system with headers for 1000 bux

/Like LOl!

lols i gotta find my sticker now most likely ive put it somewhere safe, and when i usually stick stuff away properly = Lose it, Then find it later on, When i just chueck them around its either find them straight away or lose em for good lool

Try terry shields toyota there not to bad :) got my moms and dads car from there.

Need to put my sticker on tooooooooooooo

get lids and an aero grille for a non facelift, i reckon it's better looking that the facelift IMHO

Your stuck with the facelift having bumper and grille all together

+1 to what you said you can play with the non-facelift and make it look good the facelift is just one peice.

Im in going to be my 1st cruise/meet :P

Well if your a younger person, Im guesing 90% would chose the sportivo i personally would never buy a normal corolla, i just prefer the sportivo, Luxury interior with a bit of balls.Once the lift kicks in that will make you want to sell your levin also,. And its not to ugly :P And manual, auto is good :P but gets boring. But maybe you should test drive one before you sell your levin, consider the diffrence and maybe if you like the one you test you can sell your levin and buy that one :)

That is awesome........ :D

Lucky i seen this planning on changing my speakers soon :P

Looking into it now also.

Lol sure has!!

Just a quick update. A mate of mine who worked at a panel repair shop had a look at it for me to get a rough price on repair. Fortunately it was only paint damage and only needs a respray. So then i went over to see the other driver. He said no to $450 for repairing it and was abit rude i think, so im about to call my insurance up and go through it that way. I think this is the best way? im abit stressed by just talking to him so i would make mistakes. My insurance can fix it :)

Go through insurance, hes going to be paying a bill alot more then that.

IMO I would still go through insurance, even if it is only "just a scratch" - I had pretty much the same scenario in my old Camry, someone hit me from behind while I was stationary at lights. Even for a light hit it broke the board that sits over the spare wheel and put a few decent scratches on the bumper, the person who hit me said he knew a panel beater blah blah blah Easiest option for me was to go through insurance, when they're at fault they have to pay whatever their excess is, so too bad for them - they should have been paying attention and not hit you in the first place.

Let the insurance company do all the running around chasing him up and all you have to do is take it to your choice of repairer :)

But if the person was a good person, and had a option to pay 300 dollars instead of the insurance sending a quote for $1500. I rather help them out because we could be in a similar situation one day and karma's a B*tch

That's only if they don't have insurance though - although I do get your point, it could be a 21 y.o with an excess of $900 or so dollars but still, that's what an excess is for. I just think its better to let the insurance handle it all on your behalf, that way you're not getting involved in making promises to someone and you've actually got proper record of it happening, otherwise it can all just break down into an I said/They said scenario, not much good to try and threaten them with insurance later on. That's just my thoughts anyway, because yes I agree karma is a b!tch but after all, you've got to protect yourself in these situations because no one else well.

Best of luck with it all Synthetic05, just stay positive and do what you can do :) And then just think, when its back you're going to have a gorgeous shiny new rear end :D

In all honesty, if i was in synthetic05 position i'd tell the guy look mate, a respray for the bar is 300$ can you cough it up now or not, If he says no or disagrees from the price and i have his details,I would say thank you very much jump in my car n drive off and contact my insurance as soon as possible.

But yeah tash you have a point :P

But for me insurance is disguisting my car is in my mums name, with me as a driver of 50% of the time, and excess is 2grand, if i was to put it under my name excess would be 3grand the insurance claims its because i lost my license twice,I go but i didnt lose my license for dangerous driving or Car crash's , i lost them for not wearing p-plates and 10ks and over, insurance is ridiculous these days

That is a excellent deal, i reacon not only looks and mileage the power and you will come to see that aurions are one of the most comfortable and roomy cars you can be in.
