  4. I took my stivo back to Toyota service centre this morning , they organize a foreman to give it a run with me , after he try to hit to 7200rpm, he knew there must be something wrong with the reving but he said need to plug it into their computer to see what exactly wrong with it , therefore i left the car there , in the late afternoon , they called and said they still cant figure out what problem make it heavily kick back at 7200rpm, and they are waiting the feedback from melbourne ( may be the people up there seen more cases with our stivo and a lot more stivo being sold ) because i reckon there may be around max 20 stivo in hobart ) and mine's was the second one on road in hobart , now i am very much concern about the damage done to the engine when its heavily kick back and any damaged to the pistons or internal parts ??? cause i remember you guys said to buy a new vvtli engine , it worth $ 10,000 , if the engine dies after the warranty period , i have pay out myself , i also feel like there may be more and more other problems turn out,no spare money keep paying the repair if so then forced to take it to trade in a new base model lancer 2.4 mivec , 115 Kw 220nm with ABS, A/C, Power Window and so on ( Very good value i think but doesnt look good and handling especially the front end ), i hope it wont happens cause stivo still looks very smart but drives so so cause when you drive in winding rd , you slow down in tight corners and try to get back up when exit , we all only can wait to 6,000rpm before the real power comes and torqe i also have Kings super low springs with koni shocks ( front insert , it wasnt i want till they fitted , i though they are whole strut ) on my stivo, anyway i will let all you guys know what toyota people will do tomorrow and what cause this , so our stivo owners and members have some idea if yours car have similar problem in the future. :P is your car out of warranty? and if so buy how much, how many km's have you done.
  5. Apexi list the 2zz-ge for the Celica, Feilder and the Alex/Runx in there wiring diags so it does work, just the question of if its worth the gains or not...
  6. thats an F355..... :(
  7. with the right team/tools id say we could have wei's car stripped to a shell in bout 15mins :P
  8. it wont be the timing chain as they dont have to touch it to do any of the work that they have done on the car.
  9. im very impressed with your heaps leet MS Paint skillz bill :P
  10. if they tell you that, ring toyota Aus and tell them that if its not fixed within 5mins you will be taking it up with consumer affairs. Also with all the issues you have been having with the pumps is possible that somthings not getting up to pressure at the right time for lift to enguage
  11. yes it will, we have fitted coilovers into hatches and sedans and they were the same. So i cant see why the stock ones wont fit as well
  12. the bracket in question on my old 1zz was zip tied from day one and after almost 2yrs its still going strong..no issues at all.
  13. i want these 2 to speak up so that we can have them banned from the forums for life. btw i vote YES
  14. no they wont fit, the rim wont fit over the calipers.
  15. they were just over the 3K mark i think...dont think they were 50mm drop tho..
  16. i hope not as they wont clear the calipers.....lol
  17. do we get to choose our own weapon? im bit of a club man myself :D
  18. There's no doubt whatsoever that a replacement exhaust can hinder power output (personal experience tells me it is so!), but such an exhaust should be returned to the place of purchase and either have a more suitable system fitted or go somewhere else and do it. I'd just like to ask a question of anyone who has the knowledge to answer ... are there any potential variables between having a CES system fitted at CES, and having a CES system transported interstate and fitted by another exhaust place? In other words, could a system's condition after transport or a different fitting method have an effect on the end result? Obviously, all the QLD guys have gone to CES and CES have fitted it for them, whereas only some of the interstaters have done this, so I'm just wondering if there's any substance to my ramblings? :P i have seen CES fit few exshausts first hand, any reasonable exhaust shop should be able to do the fitting and not stuff it up.
  19. myself, wei wei, sportivo rice, stockvvti are all running Zero 2's with 7/5 spring rates
  20. that keeping the stock exhaust is the best performance solution for an exhaust system for your car when we all know this is not the case..
  21. i hope BP are giving you the fuel to drive it....... :o :P
  22. mate consider this your final warning, and dont play the dumb card either as we all know what you are suggestion
