Consistently staying at the top (or close to) of the 'new vehicle sales figures for month ended' suggests otherwise. In relation to the topic at hand, there are plenty of individuals/companies buying Toyotas as white goods on wheels, but they aren't desirable to people who seek 'heart and soul' Statistically they sell the most vehicles, but whether they are desirable in respect to what's being discussed in this topic is questionable.

I'm sure you mean the 2zz engine itself, as the chassis was horrible, it wasn't enough power to push the Celicas against k20 powered integras and they just dropped it into the corolla and branded it sportivo, torsion bar rear suspension on a 'sports car'. Also the 2zz was only playing catch up to b18cr which produced similar or better results a generation earlier circa 1996 introduction. As an example k20 powered mr2 is absolutely insane but for argument sake 2zz isn't bad either I suppose we need to find a b18 one for comparison, it just shows how Toyota isn't building desirable cars of late.

wheel may be buckled or hairline fracture, take the wheel off and pour some water onto it (where the bead is) see if there are bubbles coming up. if not it may be the valve itself.

design has gone pretty down hill since the 2001 gen camrys (the one that jeff has) they looked amazing back in the days, when we moved away from the rounded 90s cars and into the more sculpted bodies. but yeah, the cars are very dull :( the older gen aurions looked alright but nothing amazing, which is why i went with my euro, least i have vtec to keep me entertained at times.

recaros, catch can gone, audio gear added, come grab a bargain

well i'm going to get flamed. may i suggest a DC5R or DC2R? heaps of power, P plate legal, heaps of cheap and accessible mods

just because an engine revs to 8000 rpm doesnt mean its going to be quicker than an engine that cuts out at 6500 rpm i doubt they would actually make much power right up top plus with all the fancy **** these new engine have there better then older (some) ones imo He never said quicker (and if you look at 4AGEs they make power all the way to redline - max power for a blacktop 20V (which fillit used to drive) was at 7,800rpm, for instance), just more life. I agree with him too, whilst the newer Corollas are decent lookers, practical, cheap to run and can be made relatively fun and quick to drive, they do lack a fair chunk of the soul that went into the older ones. Just look at what you had in the 90s that you don't get now - IRS (combined with a potent chassis and excellent brakes), 2-door coupes, quad-throttle 20v engines revving their rings off, supercharger option (in the 101s), race-designed suspension (Superstrut), the list goes on. Corollas these days are designed to be an A-to-B car (well, they always have been to an extent), but fundamental design, spec and style changes means that they will never live up to the reputation of the older models. If your the sort of person who likes what the old models delivered, then chances are the new ones will leave you feeling a little disappointed, flat, and missing that sense of satisfaction, regardless of how practical, comfortable, reliable and cheap they are to own. well thats fair enough to be honest i havent owned a older model and havent driven a car with a 4age i have driven cars that rev to 8k rpm though (swift gti) which is fun but just because a car only revs to 6.5k doesnt mean thats a bad thing. thats the thing with new cars though pretty much all makers are now focusing way too much time on fuel economy and ways to make them cheaper and ride better which does mean they arent going to live up to the older models that did have more of a all round good performance. Thanks Hiro, Yes, car hitting 8000 doesn't mean it's faster, my s14 was about 6.5 - 7 i think? and it was a rocketship. If toyota made a car which revs to 6.5 but was torquey enough to throw me into the back of my seat I'm all for it. However when you've experienced a 4AGE with ITBS, massive intake and full exhaust screaming to 8000, it's a pretty damn good feeling. Add in a tunnel blast or two and you will never look back. The corollas which are made now are just econoboxes :( there's no feel in the car, in response, steering, sound etc. I drove a ZRE around sydney for a few days and it felt incredibly bland. Indifferent to anything else on the market.

are you a P plater? what are your needs? lots of variables involved, sportivos are pretty boring, though i can say the same for the other cars you mentioned.

bump recaros pending

mmm these newer corollas just have no life :( least the older one have 4AGES screaming to 8000!

yes euro, :D so seriously, this stuff has gotta go

sorry mate, been abit busy this week, will try get it to you asap. bump, recaros 1150 ono te37sl 2700 ono WTFBBQ PRICES??? new car coming in next week, help me get rid of this stuff

same as above, new car will be coming in next week. if you want a bargain, now is the time to make an offer

lol i think the TE37SLs are begging to be on your car ;) should bring it around one day for a test fit

gone gone gone..... make an offer! see what i will take.

it's 0% as toyota takes out their facility loans in USA, which is almost no interest, they therefore can afford to sell cars at 0% comparison, where they make their profits from purely turning over the cars.

ahh it's always nice to see my parts going to a good home :)

upppppppp
