  1. genuine grills and other parts http://www.south.ne.jp/~spiosk/parts/corolla.htm genuine accessories are head lamp protectors, bonnet protector, pedal covers, dash mat, seat covers, window weathershields, boot scuff guard, cargo net.
  2. skitzo do you want to buy my cascade blue sportivo grill? i am now a bit sick of it and looking at a chrome levin/ultima. sorry to steal your topic p???
  3. i just got word that there is one more set of these face lift crystal tail lamps type 2. my friend wants to sell today in melbourne. also there is the runx scuff guards, slimline weathershields for hatch, sportivo wheels, tom's wheels, carbon fibre bonnet, pedal covers with foot rest and much more. here is my number 0421790830 to book an appointment today.
  4. mee? try out a set of springs. if your shocks fail you can look for a second hand set. like me i do not need my shocks, springs or struts anymore.
  5. trd141 a little birdy told me you got the lamps. looks like i am not seeing the lamps this weekend unless i now come and see you! take care with fitting them. probably the first in australia.
  6. mee? i used to think that but i know several sportivos that are on lowered springs stage 1 and 2 for nearly over a year with no leaking from the shocks. using lowered springs with stock shocks will place more pressure on them as they should be matched to shortened travel shocks. more pressure could cause the stock shocks to premature leak and fail.
  7. in japan the face lift corolla has 3 different types of tail lamps. australia has type 1 the oldest style. on the weekend i am seeing my friend who has type 2. it is from tmc japan therefore first rate and not like the rubbish from taiwan. as tmca has type 1, type 2 and type 3 should be safe to use here on the street. type 2 and 3 will be unique here until tmca brings them out on mass.
  8. i love my coilovers. i am stuck on the road. true coilovers are fully adjustable. most coilovers give you adjustable height of 4" and adjustable damper and adjustable camber plates. you can also change the springs to other springs with different rates. i am using standard springs but the manufacturer of my coilovers has 9 different springs to choose from. on the other hand just springs are fixed at a height. typically spring manufacturers just make two stages for lowered springs known as low and super low. they are fixed spring rate unless you can get the manufacturer to coil up springs at the rate you desire. the damper is not adjustable because you are using the stock shockers. i have the sedan with no body kit. i have not touched anything but i have come close to cement hotdogs in 90 degree parking spaces. i am glad the muffler is small and hidden because i would have hit it when reverse parking. to give you a good answer to your question of which is better we need to know your application. just springs are $200 a set and fully adjustable coilovers are $2,000 a set.
  9. next exclusive track day at heathcote should be in august. look forward to seeing more corollas next time.
  10. cougs great pictures! pecker when is the video coming? levin 1zz-fe against sportivo 2zz-ge http://ank.shafted.com.au/Cougar/exclusive...tn_IMG_1284.jpg
  11. merchandise manager has the goods now but cougs might have something left over. come out thursday night and get one.
  12. northy welcome! i saw the new corolla yesterday for the first time and i like the face lift. i do not have foglamps myself and the lamps you need are different because of the face lift. only now are there a few wrecked corollas to get used parts from. there is an ultima cascade blue in cranbourne but these are still expensive. try ozeparts. you need to phone them and they will contact their agent in japan. let us know what price they give you for a pair of headlamps. good luck shopping!
  13. how to paint? spray paint. raw plastic needs plastic primer to stop the paint from cracking when the plastic gets hot and expands in the weather. where? panel beaters and bodykit shops.
  14. nothing wrong with rice unless it is made from cardboard.
  15. not my picture. i only have video from the night.
  16. saturday was good. collins street was closed for tram works so we met up elsewhere. thanks for coming out trd141, richi, sport1vo, chonga. we are behind the blue car.
  17. how cute was the cuppacino dragging with the top down!
  18. but c-one has a motorsport team to support. consumers you get to choose goods from japan or copies from taiwan. just like front strut bars. the trd was $280 (recommended retail $440) or from taiwan $100.
  19. pecker thanks for taking me. i had a good time and i hope you did too.
  20. cottage street in blackburn is genesis racing. a year ago it was n1. genesis racing is the preferred performance workshop of exclusive motorsports. typhoon motorsports (aka c-one and tom's racing) will be opening in a new place soon. prior to this i can help organise an appointment to see the toms02 sportivo and catalogues.
