How much work on top of buying that blitz kit from import monster would need to go into the sportivo? We talking about 7-10k all up for s/c, ECU, new brakes, LSD, exhaust piping and labour?

Hey guys, ive got my TRD front strut brace and rear sway bars up for sale. Both in pretty much immaculate condition. The TRD front strut brace is no longer available, and im pretty sure the rear sway is heaps hard to come by these days. wanting $350 for the front strut brace and $200 for the rear sway bar. will post up pictures when i get a chance.

PM superdave, hes the know it all on the powerFC

whats the weight of those enkeis?

Is your 2zzge build on the road yet?

I have a mate that lives around your area that might be selling his. It's a white 2005 sportivo with black eye lids, immaculate condition. Don't think he's posted it up on carsales though. I think I may have already been in contact with him, is his name Aaron? Yeah thats him

thats normal for city driving. i get 500km per tank with city driving also,.

Did you do stage 2 cam upgrade yourself... or did you have to take it professionals, if so how much was it? Cheers. He is a professional....

hi guys, as the title states, im keen on buying a rear sway bar/rear torsion beam for my 05 sportivo. Thanks.

i had a CES installed once upon a time ago, i certainly felt a difference in lift after i installed it, however your quite right- it drones badly. I went back to stock after about 2 months with it on (had to swap over as i started work at 5am and couldnt stand hearing the exhaust drone so early in the morning). Dont worry though, if you put it up for sale in this forum, it will get sold in a heart beat.

Quick update, finally got it plugged with a rubber cap. Turns out the hose was the issue all along. Big thanks to prozak and superdave for the input. No longer switching off when in neutral. Will do a ECU reset on the weekend as it seems to be driving okay for the moment.

I checked that blue cylindrical bit, and its already been blocked off. As for the actual CAI where the hose connects to it, im going to block it off with a 15mm grommet, is that the right plugging tool to use? Long as its blocked off bud ! Let us know how you go No worries. One more thing, once its blocked, should i reset ECU? or is there no need?

Will do. Ill head to super cheap on Thursday to sort it out. Just a quick question, what is the blue cyclindrical thing and where is the plenum? And to Prozak, apologies, i thought everything was blocked off until i got feed back from everyone.

what did you use to block it off?

How did you block it off?

Dead o2 sensor? Does the exhaust smell really fuelly, or does your oil? Need to be careful of overfueling as too much fuel can wash the thin film of oil off of the bores. Which CAI did you install? If the airflow to the MAFS isn't good it can read wrong and give all sorts of issues such as overfueling. i installed the Injen CAI. I got a mechaninc that has previously installed one on a sportivo before hand. Ill take some photos and post them to see if anythings missing. The exhaust does smell slightly richer on some start ups. Mechanic also ran a hose attached from the CAI down to the fins of the front bar which its sitting between, apparently he says it was so that hot air can escape whilst the pod sucks in cold air. Ill post a pic up of it tomorrow. So here are the pictures, hopefully they come up:

how come with after market it does? whats the mechanical advantage behind it?

Stock clutch? R/r yeah still got the stock clutch in. Does it make that much of a difference in smoothing the transition between 1st and 2nd in lift?

so what happens if you remove all the free play from the clutch and you still cant get from 1st to 2nd in lift?

its all clean. consumption pre CAI was 400km to the half tank (since i fill up at half way), post CAI its at 220km to half a tank.

for those of us who arent familiar with the short hand (me), what is t/b service and whats the IAC?
