Congrats on your new buy!! I think 21k is rather reasonable. I just bought a 2nd hand one (2005 model) with 70k on the clock for for $18,600 + stamp duty. Although i didnt get a gps unit, But it did come with a sunroof + cruise control + tinted windows + rear lip + floor mates. But yeah good buy.. these days u can get a 2003 model for around 14,000 to 18,000.. depending on the k/m's but 05 models can still sell for up to 23k with low k/m's from a dealer or 21k from a private sale.

yeah I had the same problem with my 03 sportivo.. its a warranty issue.. i got mine fixed with toyota.. after complaining for 3 months and writing to toyota australia. I think all they had to do was change something with the clutch. I think the clutch wasnt going all the way down when u had your foot balls to the wall.. so when u changed gear it wasnt fully down so you were forcing it in. This was a big issue and this forum was full of angry customers.. so many pages of complaints....

I knew a few people that installed the unichip on there sportivo and they said they really felt the power increase.. but they sold there cars not long after... so you figure it out.. lol :o

Yo Dan... how are you?.. Well my sportivo was parked outside my house and someone smashed it and its a complete ride off... so I bought another one the other day, its complete stock however a 05 model rather then a 03.. so gotta start again.. Im still in QLD but the car will live in melb. I will be down in melb around nov... for a month for my sis wedding... cya then

Well i might be buying a 2nd hand sportivo soon.. so looking into the trd short shift and TRD CAI.... hopefully there might be another group buy soon down the track...

the difference is so small u cant even tell.. not worth it in my opnion.

you see the 4 is right next to 3, so maybe he pressed the wrong one. :o

Silver will only beat black if alot of grandma's a looking into buying a rolla. As from the 03 model, black sold the most. Maybe thats what happen to u bullet, all the blacks where sold out, so u had to settle for silver. :D :P

yeah i also got mine in 3 days... only cause i knew the dealer.

u can get a brand new sportivo for 29000 drive away...

how much for the eye lids.. they look alot better then the ones people have bought..

where did u get the stickers done?

i drove a car with the quick shifter... i dont see any big difference with it and the normal setup.. its hard to tell that it is a quick shifter.. feels the same. anyways..

hey if u gonna do it i might do it as well... maybe we can get it cheaper if we both get it done... lets us know how much it costs,, cheers

it get in the 600 to 700 for my every day driving worst has been in the 400..

nothing wrong with a bit of avgas hehehe but its motor octane level is just slightly over 100..

so where can we buy this stuff from?

i like the rear skirt

i thought i saw superman.. but it was just my reflection..

i know somone with a custom exhaust, cai and unichip on his spotivo that beat a modded WRX, what are they at the wheels (power and torque) again?

Interestingly, Toyota have set up the system so that the extra power kicks in a little over 5000 rpm on the current UK spec vehicles. The torque curve of a VVTL-i is almost exactly the same as a VVT-i up to that point and then suddenly, where the VVT-i begins to run out of steam and revs, the new engine develops a new lease of life producing the extra 49 bhp right through to its 10000 rpm redline. The disappointing thing is that even with the new close ratio gearbox, the engine drops out of its optimum rev range when changing down. It seems very strange to us that the extra horsepower doesn't kick in just below 5000 rpm so that the engine can be kept in its sweet spot - this would almost certainly knock over a second off the already impressive 0-60 time of the Celica, putting it into another class altogether. Perhaps Toyota are saving this extra power for a later date. We expect to see after market chips that vary the valve lift at a lower engine speed, though as yet, none have appeared

RACV dont alloy much.. im with AAMI who says (cheaper then RACV), u can have any size u want if the tyre place will fit them to your cra,

very nice guys....... love the hood influx, also love the look of the black sportivo

im about 24 seconds do u think i mght have a chance??? hehehehehehe

Sorry to hear that Zee that it didnt fix your gear problem. If i was you i would get that guy i had to look at the problem you have himself. He was a toyota official cant remember his name but try asking Shane he might be able to contact them for you. I remember the toyota official saying that he has come across 4 different problems with the gear related problem, one being the clutch pedal, anotherone being rust build up and 2 others. Best chance is to get him to look at your car or somone like him. All the best Adrian
