  1. Any confirmation with the fact that tuning in open loop mode will be fine with the sportivo ecu?? I know that in closed loop mode we are completely at its mercy.
  2. The only thing that won't line up is the bolt holes I think....and try thislink. I believe this is what you are after!! Have fun and post the pictures once your finish
  3. I believe it would be the 1nzfte.........a 1zzfe with mild boost would be around 220nm I believe. I don't think there will be a TRD corolla.......Yaris is the next one after the aurion and hilux, I've read it in a newspaper I think last weekend
  4. Apexi Intake.....The filter or the SRI kit??? I was worried once I saw the title as I just received my CES CAI Monday and installing it tomorrow....
  5. I'am a qualified Chemical Engineer Development Engineer in water technology industry Unofficially I'm a Plumber Electrician Mechanic Car Audio Installer Carpenter Computer technician Finance Consultant Business Consultant and thats about it really. Updated!! Starting new job soon and couldn't be happier, I get 50% more pay then the last job I was doing!!
  6. Head over to 9th gen corolla, and look up DIY painting intake manifold or something like that. A few guys over there have painted it to whatever colour suits them
  7. When we say early, how early in the year of 2003 are we talking about?? Mine is May. 03 I think
  8. If the SA delivered brakes cause so much trouble, shouldn't that mean that they shoud be replacing it???..........and no its not normal for disc to be replaced after 50k km.....thats utter bs, maybe pads but definitely not the disc!!! Keep annoying them.....and if all else fails get a good set yourself and call your local mech to put it in, much cheaper and better..............For some reason I don't really trust dealer mechs, but thats cause my local mech is damn good
  9. Corolla is the 2nd most sold car of 2006......Commodore is first as usual.
  10. When I mentioned the word 'design' I ment the car overall not just the external appearance.............To be honest, I like the corolla over any of the other cars that are competing in that segment, but thats cause my family are a bunch of loyal Toyota customers lol. Integra style and 206???...........You should've mentioned the porsche styling.........if you get it right at the start, no need to meddle with it too much At one stage I did think of getting a base model 2.4L lancer and maybe start modding.........but then its a mitsu......unless its an evo
  11. No offense I love my corolla but...........isn't the design a bit dated guys.....it was released in 2002.......although the corolla is the best selling small/medium car going around, all the reviews that I have read lately says that it is nowhere near with competing the current lineup of cars offerred by other manufacturers. Time for the new corolla to come out and kick *****!! Also.....dunno if you guys will be disappointed or not but the next most likely contender for the TRD range will be the Yaris
  12. Interested but will ultimately depend on the price that this thing arrives on our doorstep
  13. Those things are.........*no comment* A drop in filter will prolly give you more performance (which in this case would be like 1kw.......at the flywheel)
  14. each to their own whether your using a SRI setup or CAI setup....SRI has superior throttle response, but for everyday driving most people will be happy with the CAI cause they can then have more power....Also with a SRI I don't think mine was designed properly, the length and ID of the intake pipe makes a difference to power production if most people don't know. Our UK brothers/sisters on TOC swear by the K&N Typhoon SRI kit.... But this topic of SRI Vs CAI is boring.....
  15. My stock setup performed better then the SRI. I have already ordered a CES CAI, waiting for payment details. Hopefully I'll get it by the beginning of next week..........which is not good with double demerits weekend coming up next week
  16. My CRV has side air bags on the seat itself, it clearly on the side says SRS airbag on the airbag cover. But then again, my seats are leather....
  17. I believe the CAI is louder then the SRI....but then again my experience was with a CAI fitted to my Conquest.....whereas my SRI was fitted to my Sportivo until you hit lift
  18. Attention to detail is bloody awesome!! Ae82 with a 4AGTE........OMG!!
  19. Just sell the sportivo and get a celica.......then it would make like easier wouldn't it??? If only...*sigh*
  20. Extractor Removal UPDATE: Waving the white flag at the moment. Stupid bolts won't come off..........I wished I had an air compressor and impact wrench!!
  21. Could run a basic greddy celica kit........I've looked into it.......but still alot of mucking around....there is one that is currently in progress at 9thgen. New radiator too...forgot whatelse
  22. The bloody radiator..........we have less room to work with then the celica owners....but then again their engine is closer to the firewall I think. I just removed my manifold heat shield, plenty of room...whereas the celica owners have to remove the cam cover to make life much easier. Then we have the problem of the ABS unit...if there was some room we could prolly mount it inline across from the alternator....hmmmm Anyone game???
  23. Master cylinder brace?? Can't you just get a generic one bolted up to the chasis to brace it??
