  1. Thanks...and if someone comes on here asking me to do a search...well I've done a search on "sportivo exhaust" and had no luck hehe...

    as I had a passenger say that it was loud while sitting in the back...not loud as in it's unbearable but loud as in it's not stock...

    I used to drive a Type-R and it was louder so I thought that it was actually pretty quiet hahaha...

    So if anyone can shed some light then it'd be great! :P

    It something pretty close to 2.25 inches but its a metric size 60mm or something.

  2. No thats one of those chad little conned fllters with an extension, your filter will still get engine heat. What you have to understand is that even if you have a pipe or cut a whloe in your bonnet to your filter, you will still suck in engine heat. You need to box it off so the cold air is trapped somewhere and little or no engine heat gets in. Basically box it off, run a pipe or two under your headlight and suck cool air from your bumper.

    If its not boxed your only really getting minmal cold air, as well as wasting money.

  3. i get a rattling noise sometimes but its inside the car from down near the passengers feet somewhere,dont know what it is but it starts when the revs get higher, very annoying on a nearly new car

    I got the same thing, I pulled half my dash apart trying to find, but sonds like its coming from the airvents or something around the passenger side. Its really anoying when in lift.

    But yeah I dont think its the gear cables if its from the passenger side then.

  4. I need some new brakes, mine are rooted. Look if the price and shipping is right I'll be in for a full set. Also can they get us a good price on some brake pads to suit (something good for street (i.e. actually works when cold) with no squeel and low brake dust).

    Also do you need 25 people or 25 rotors, cuz 25 member actually going through with a group buy is a difficult task.

  5. Yeah, missing the engine cover.

    It would be interesting to see a sportivo with a 1ZZ

    I was actaully thinking about buying the wagon corrolla of the same colour.

    Just swapping my sportivo facelift front, engine/trans, interior then sell the sportivo with 1ZZ, wagon front and interior cheap.

    Its a crazy Idea but it would be unique.

    But prob have trouble VicRoads changine engine numbers and stuff.

  6. that looks really good and effective ,just a question i had a gpx fto and got a guy i knew to make me a custom cold air intake but when he put it on he didnt use that electrical stuff that goes onto the stock air intake ,does it make a difference and what is that thing for?

    I think its a vacume line that operates the flap to the back to the standard airbox. You dont need to connect it, just unplug it and block the vacume line. Doubt it will make a difference, its just use less now so no need to connect.

  7. I've got the car back and the paint job on the rear bumper is bad.

    It's got orange peel, dark spots in the silver paint, lumps in the paint and also it looks like they damaged the bumber and have tried to bog it up .

    I was promised new parts hopefully they are.

    Can they fix a bad paint job on a rear bumper.

    Take it back, they should be able to cut back the orange peal, not sure about the rest though. Sounds like a dodge place you went to

  8. Get race options to refund you the difference between an SRI and CAI. Then just sell it on the forums for a little cheaper and you will make the most of your money back. I'm sure some1 will buy it. An an AEM SRI is a rare in AUS for a Rolla.

    Post up pics

  9. Helped Specialized Intall it tonight. Took about an hour a car.

    Everything fit in perfectly.

    Came with all the necessary brackets and extras we didn't use.

    We discoved that you can fit the TRD filter in with the fog light still in on the facelift.

    Basicly take off the foglight off, shove up the intake, then intall the foglight back on. It a tight fit but the bottom of the filter (plastic bit) touches the foglight, so I'll just use the foggies when I need them.

    The cars started up straight away and sounded just like stock.

    Took them for a spin, and there was no loss in response, actually felt better than stock.

    Once warmed up we gave them a thrashing, and WOW!!. There is a noticable power increase and sound is incredible.

    I cant belive how well it idles now. With the stock box my car idled like s.h.i.t. Now its so smooth.

    My Rating 10 out 10!!!!!!!
