VVTLiR

Actually I was bloody low on fuel too, so it could be either.

I've just gotten a quote for my mate, who is 20 and has a Sportivo, lowered, 18" rims, $2500 stereo system, exhaust mods, CAI.

Total $980 annual, plus $350 basic excess and $500 age excess. Thats on 60% NCB and a discount, but thats the joys of being an insurance underwriter :-)

Can you get a quote for me?

What RPM were you launching at?

I had the same thing happen to me one night at WSID, I narrowed it down to the clutch overheating and not engaging 100% properly in 1st gear. It was OK in very other gear too. I tryed a few launches on the way home after it had cooled down a little and it was fine then.

That may makesense, I was launching at 4K

No not cuz of mods or age etc, this the email my mate got:

Hi X.

Thanks for confirming the requested details.

I have checked you policy and your excesses.

Just Car Insurance is a specialist insurer offering insurance predominantly for:

· Drivers under 25 years of age

· Drivers of privately imported, modified or high performance cars

· Drivers with previous license suspensions

· Drivers with less-than-perfect insurance history

· Driver with modifications and accessories fitted to their cars

As a result, our claim statistics for certain types of cars are higher than standard risk insurers. The additional Vehicle Excess of $900 has been applied to all customers driving a Toyota Sportivo.

Unfortunately we are not able to remove or lower it as it is fixed on all policies, however please bare in mind that you only ever need to pay your excesses in the event of an accident or claim where you are deemed to be responsible.

Your Age Excess will no longer apply after you turn X on the Xth of X 2007.

It would certainly be a shame to lose you to standard insurer.

If you have any further enquiries or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact one of our Customer Relations specialists on 13 13 26 or email us at: contactus@justcarinsurance.com.au

We are open between 8am and 8pm Monday to Friday, 8.45am to 5pm Saturday and 10am to 3pm Sunday, Eastern Standard Time.

Regards,

do a ecu reset ...a proper one :P and see what happens i had that happen once when i got mine back from the shop after "the incident" you know what im talking about vvtlir, gave it a few launches after a ecu reset and it has run fine ever since.

I reset it the other week, i dont think its that.

Hey my mate just found out that just car insurance are going to charge an additional $900 excess for the corolla sportivo. So that basic $500, age $600 plus vehicle $900 = $2000 excess. I am going to change insurance companies now. I suggest you guys check you insurance and renewal form carefully, they are sneaky.

Hey did a few of runs yesterday racing my mates 250 Ninja (on the track ofcourse). Something went wrong with lift in my car. The first 2 runs lift did not engage properly and hit rev limit at 7K. I was emabarrased. The car was warmed up and had been driving for 10 min and i also hit lift a couple of minutes earlier too. WTF. I just got the car back from service and the car is stock.

On the third run I turned the car off turned it back and then lift was fine. As usual he got me on launch and then I left him like he was standing still when I hit third gear.

Has any1 had this happen before?

Hey guys, I'm new to group buy...please let me know how it works with payment...Also, is it possible to use credit card because that's what i'm intending to pay with?????

How do you pay by credit card into a bank account?

Want em so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I dont mind paying 20 bux extra, it still a bloody good deal.

I want em now tooo

Before you play with the adjustment I would do what VVTLi suggested, swap the bulbs around.

After doing the above I suggest parking your car in front of your garage door. Turn on your lights and look for the top line of your headlights against the garage door. Get some tape out and mark that point. Keep turning the adjustment. If it goes up or doesnt move, try turning the adjustment in the other direction. You should evenually to a low enough point that is reasonable. Then go park say a car length behind another car and adjust your lights till you cant see in their rear window. Go back and park against your garage then try and even up both lights. Then test on the another cars rear window. If you cant see in its all good. If you do then re-adjust your lights.

Hope that helps.

Tried twisting the knob behind the headlights but the lights still seem like its aiming into the sky :(

Can some1 pin point me in the right direction? or ill get cops high beam me soon :D

Thanx in advance

keep twisting mate! make sure u've got the right sized screw driver and that the cogs are actually turning.

Careful i over twisted my left/right adjustment and broke it. Had to crack open the headlights and re-glue it. Make sure you are twisting the up/down adjustment (i think its the one closest to the grill but cant remember). It takes a real long time too to get it down since the HIDs point up really high. Also some members ive heard had luck swapping around the HIDs between headlights as some are design to point a ceratin way so you may have them on the wrong side. But yeah I found HIDs are a pain in the backside and went back to stock lights.

Spotted user name "sportivo" Maroondah Highway Mitcham today b4 6pm.

yep, haha, i thought that was you, sorry abit off topic, how much lower did you lower your car? cause it seems to be an ideal height for me

also spotted a black ascent, fully stock, with heaps of brand name stickers on the side, and heaps of toys inside, at boxhill about 4.10pm

I got whiteline control springs @ 35mm drop. They are a good height, since i dont scrap anywhere, however i'm going lower soon with coilovers.

at first we were aiming a 5 ppl

we have 10!!!! orsm!

i'll be getting the street spec, but track spec is tempting.....

get to me whenever for payment details.

cheers

Its a pretty good deal and suppose its probably the last major D2 group buy for the ZZE12X series rollas.

I'll PM you.

Street for me, i like having kidneys.

My mate Gerald reckons he bottoms out on his girlfriend, but ive never had that problem. Maybe depends on the driver.

Ive done 25K on my stock shocks with whitellines, but yeah expect them to die soon. Updrading to D2 coilvers soon, since koni shocks will cost nearly the same as D2 coilovers (check out group buy section if you wanna go D2s)

They are on the of the forums. Just a bit shy. The silver one will be at next weekends cruise if you wanna check it out.

man those 068s are looking so hot...

are they for sale? someone should buy them!!

(shameless plug for you - i have a set of them in 17s and white... love them to pieces)

I know the guy that owns them. He is still deciding whether to keep or sell. He wants to go Rays but the 068s look so awsome and they are in perfect nick. A hard decsision. I think he wanted $1100 with good tread falkan 512 tyres.

Saw these 2 rollas parked on the weekend. Dont they look awsome.

ive finally been spotted! :P

when did u spot me? obviously it wasnt today but i was there! :P Back in full fighting action! :D

I was last week sometime in the afternoon

nice how do we pay?
