bangn unless youve owned an fto you wouldnt know i have and Im 100% sure my old fto would beat my new stivo on the straight and in corners and for a six cylinder it wasnt that fast at all just revvy that and its awesome sound made you feel like you were going fast but at the end of the day fto is a shocking car compared to the stivo ,insurance was so high for the fto i nearly had a heart attack and parts were dear being an import and hard to find and when i bought mine ftos were selling for around 16k for good condition stock form 2 years later when i sold it they dropped to like 12 to 13 and ive seen them go for 9 or 10 they are just really good for thrashing on a track until it blows not a keeper like toyota.

For a six cylinder it wasnt that fast at all, just revvy and its awesome sound made you feel like you were going fast. Yet at the end of the day the fto is a shocking car compared to the stivo. Insurance was so high for the fto i nearly had a heart attack and parts were dear being an import and hard to find. When i bought mine, ftos were selling for around 16k in good condition stock from 2 years later. When i sold it they dropped to like 12 to 13 and ive seen them go for 9 or 10. They are just really good for thrashing on a track until it blows. Not a keeper like toyota."

Ok Dudes

I am looking at purchasing a electric polisher power tool to polish my Corolla Sportivo and other various family cars.

I have been recommended the following, but I am looking at $300+; do you have any alternative cheaper solutions. I am not going to get it done my some one else, I want to purchase a similar tool hence this post.

RUPES electric polisher power tool. made in Italy. TYPE: BE31E. 1500 / 4000 min rpm.

just becareful you dont cut through the paint if your using really abrasive compound or polish keep it moist and have a bucket of water handy to keep the panel wet

yeh your right even upfront it was like segro and the poor people in the back couldnt even stretch their legs at all up against the back of the front seats very scary if you got clustraphobia or whatever

yeh i do love my sportivo heaps more then my old fto even though i threw 13 k into the fto and the tivo is stock i love the toyota its so practical the fto was a pain in the as s to use anyway heres the pics of it

i own a sportivo 2005 now but i just sold a gpx 95 and believe me it was qiucker then the stivo but it didnt have much more torque the way i know is with air con on both cars struggle of lights and they were pretty much the same in 2nd set of valaves kikn in but my fto did handle alot better and it went 0-100 in 7.2 or close and this stivo is said to be 8.4 id say 8.o so overall it was quicker on straight nd in corners.

the guys who work at drive.com dont have a clue about the truth they make upthe figures they want and example is saying in a report that the spoertivo is 2 out of 5 stars and does the 0-100 in 8.9 they are hopeless i wouldnt believe anything that they say to be accurate

:D

But the picture of it is a fully sik WRECK!

yeh true what was i thinking fully sik

im a turk but if a leb was selling that for 20 dollars i wouldnt buy it is he for real with that price ?its worth abit more then that in top nik

My brother ran by the same theory on his 89 Celica years ago. 7 engines and 5 gearboxes later he learned his lesson.

Think about how fast you can sprint. Now try and imagine doing that constantly, no more walking, no more jogging, just sprinting. You are not going to be too well by the end of it.

i agree with you mate its just logic and on my sportivo it says use premium only so thats what i do and ive been in cars that were running on premium and then reg ulp and you really notice it similar to having air con on in a car with sh itty torque like sportivo and fto etc

i dont thrash my car as it doesnt feel like a sports car to me and i bought it due to its cheap price and i wanted something reliable.when i do hit lift aprox 5 times a week it feels great but im used to bikes and so all cars feel slow to me but i do have a few friends that are mechanics and they rekon if you drive a car too slow it will get sluggish so you gotta open up the injectors now and then thats what ive been told and i believe it my mums second car the camry doesnt know what its like to go past 4000 thanks to my mum ****ting herself when driving and now it takes off like a tangara

I drive an auto conquest. i regularly make the trip up to around 6K.....won't go any further lol.

I've tried driving gently but it doesn't seem to make a difference in my fuel consumption. After installing the CAI, i've lost about 50km per tank.....i'm currently getting 400km to the tank (when the light goes on)........that is so bad. I should maybe take it to another mechanic

Cheers

P.S. i think i drive more gently with the CAI on though, it bloody noisy if you boot it past 4K

thats petty low hey 400kms i get about 600 on a full tank of premium but mines stock

[The only true colours from a paint perspective are white, blue, red and yellow.

Black is a shade derived from blue, orange is a shade derived from red as is pink.

I gecould t all technical and bore the ****es out of ya's but I don't have the time or motivation. :D

thats the smartest answer yet

thanks. um i think thats what we are doing num nutz if he wants a guide of price who better then other owner derrrrr

i know i paid more... but i wanted it and i had the cash so it's all good

atleast you got the coolest colour

I brought my Sportivo for $24, 2003 model with 40,000 on the clock with the only modification was the sports springs... so i would ask for 24 and go now lower than 23...

sorry to say but you paid abit too much i bought the 2005 model stock standard with 5000kms only extras were subwoofer and amp and all speakers were replaced with new pioneers and it cost me $25250 it was for $27500 ansd i paid in cash so he reduced it to that and thats what my year model go for no more than 26k dealers advertise them for 27-28 but noone pays that.also i bought it off a guy who worked for toyota and it was 8 months old or so when i got it

anywayenjoy it mate
