  1. isnt it completely logical that it would be harder to hit and land in lift uphill as opposed to travelling downhill
  2. welcome to 1991 unfortunately these problems have always and will always be there, but by all means make a scene and demand only the most experienced technician operate on your vehicle. However he'll probably have the 1st year apprentice ***** on your rims for being so picky. The more agro and fussy you are with your dealership, the more you wont get along. You simply cannot really win Also cant you just ring up and ask them what the hourly labour rates are?
  3. Welcome :D Here you will find many a modified sportivo, and im not just talking about grilles and eyelids <_< Im sure, or hope, you are talkin about LIFT? if so its fun, and anyone with the new sportivo or celica will agree. BTW by comparing it to the celica, are u reffering to your 1989 model (5sfe) with 100kw or the new celica with the same 140kw motor as your sportivo? I havent driven the sportivo, but i can say itd feel and handle a bit different to the celica, given the different body design and overall interior. Looks like we'll have to catch up one day for a meet and explore this celica vs sportivo idea welcome mate and hope to see you cruising soon. -Sharmz
  4. so are u being sarcastic? or are u actually serious? or are u making fun of whoever is worried about matching the kilowatts to toyota specs? finally, do u like stuff?
  5. The problem is they say the engine can handle it, but when it comes to servicing and actually driving one, you get the "you shouldnt drive your car like that" lecture. Its really disappointing, if the sportivos got the same thrashing some of the Type R's have received by their owners (esp the older shape) It would be good to see how long they actually lasted, or the celicas even but then in america the celicas seem to kind of manage, kind of <_< So know that youve cleared up YOUR POINT, where to from here?
  6. I dont see how fair trading is going to help you, and personally I would not want my dealership knowing Ive contacted fair trading, as you can imagine the TLC when they service my car lol But in anycase, their point is valid, can u imagine takin someone in your car to show them your problems and then revving ur car to 5 or 6K, for us its normal, to them though u look like a freakin idiot because hes actually right, as a standard for all cars, its not normal driving conditions - and it would come across as if your pushing ur car hard. Like i said, in america, with the celica when dudes where using lift in quantities daily and have some problems, theyd take the car for repairs and would receive the feedback "Theyre not meant to be driven/revved like that".
  7. FFS this is turning into the baby sitters club. And as if exec really meant for you to get out of the car scene, hes not that stupid it was all in fun. But i can see where you would have taken it wrong. HOWEVER. EXEC id like to share something with you. I think your ideas on saving fifty dollars and doing it yourself arent always the best. You see IMO if your going to go out and fork $30,000 dollars on a new car, What the hell is fifty dollars extrA? its peanuts. ANd for someone who doesnt know what theyre doing with cars, really I dont see how you could convince them otherwise. Personally I think we bitch and moan way too much here, complaining about 10, 20, and fifty dollar differences over $30,000 dollar cars is silly.
  8. I thought he had chrome ROHs anyway?
  9. A celica with a TRD exhaust puts out over 105Kws so its feasibe. and bitching like girls > yous
  10. it looks like it should fit worse case scenario u have to modd it a little for perfect fit but otherwise it doesnt look overly different
  11. guys ive posted in the new section, click there and make it happen
  12. I dont know if this happened or not??? ahh couldnt make it!! did u go xtiger?? and rain + double demerits =
  13. whats $10 anyway TJ, look at the deal ur getting with the TRD gear <_<
  14. it means he has a gold member havent u seen austin powers... :
  15. be that as it may man, its possible that certain ppl may need to go back to dealerships for service esp if it has to do with their warranty deal (or should i say extended warranty)terms and conditions yeah?
  16. i see some tiger had updated his avatar?? nice work tj! looks schmik
  17. nah mate but if u swing past syd give the corolla blokes a tinker and they'll throw another shrimp on the barby for ya
  18. 147kw i would have bough it but the celica handles better and looked newer, but less power <_<
  19. wouldnt it put more stress on the engine to have it drop in gear out of lift and high RPM rather than just changing up?
