  1. I blocked all the necessary hoses off. As I said, it works fine when im in gear, but if i switch out of gear into neutral the engine stays running, then after 5-15 seconds it just gives me a CEL and switches the car off. im still a newbie with terminology......what does CEL stand for? check engine light

  3. Hi guys, Ive got a practically brand new Injen pod Filter for sale (only used when I tested my CAI to see if it worked for like 25-30minutes). Also, i have a ITG foam filter that im selling, its been washed and sprayed, in excellent condition (cost me $200 brand new), so its ready to jump on an intake. ITG foam filter- $50 Injen Pod Filter- $50. Pm me for pictures since I haven't figured out how to post pics. Willing to post at buyers expense.
  4. sorry to hi jack thread, but whilst we're on the topic of injen CAI i thought id continue in this post. I installed mine this evening, and i noticed that when i let it roll in neutral down hill, it gives me a CEL and also switches the car off. Any of the gurus care to elaborate why it does this, and also what can be done to fix it other than not rolling down hill in neutral? Thanks.
  5. Hey mate, anything to update? Howd your tuning pan out?
  6. tp top stage sell facelift eyelids, but be prepared to pay $100+ in total to get them to sydney.
  7. I PM'd you about eyelids. Can you message back please.
  8. Thanks for that Kenshin :D as you posted that i was already watching your DIY guide to changing the gearbox oil :P what happens if you put too much oil into the gearbox and also what does the additive do? will this make shifting alot smoother? :D wont make the shifting smoother if the syncros are worn, get the castrol vmx80 since it doesnt cost an arm and a leg like the mt90, or if you can afford it get the redline. If your in sydney and want a mechanic thats done a gearbox oil change and a clutch adjustment let me know.
  9. you need to adjust the clutch pedal height so it disengages completely so you can shift in lift. Also, depending on how many kms your sportivo it has done, your synchros may need to be replaced.
  10. $305 is an awesome buy. The cheapest I found online was $400 not including delivery. To be honest, even if it only manages to squeeze out an extra 5 kw its a good buy considering the price. Also, if it makes the car more economical then its a bonus there. Make sure you post up some dyno graphs.
  11. pretty good price. Looking at possibly getting a similar set up with the varex and the 2.5inch catback. Either that or just put stage 2 cams straight in with out a power Fc.
  12. nice. Where did you get it done and how much did it set you back? Are you happy with the gains?
  13. Xoom posted an ECU pinout a few years back, its floating around somewhere on here. I think its also got an excel document attached to it which shows where everything is.
  14. I dont think anyone in Australia has actually used one in their sportivo. Matt Glad would be the person to ask, he got something like 130kw at the wheels with it. How much did you pick it up for?

  16. CAI is cheaper here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INJEN-CAI-COLD-AIR-INTAKE-05-06-TOYOTA-COROLLA-XRS-1-8L-/280570411762?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41534cbaf2
  17. LOL ..... the chrome dome too much for u ..... lol .... yeah i been meaning to but wat do u do .... no time for it ..... was this at the lights getting onto lane cove rd ? it was just as you pasted under the victoria road overpass that epping road is under, about 70m before top ryde shopping centre.
  18. fuel consumption at first was ridiculous, i was getting 300-350km to the tank for about the first 2-3 fill ups, then eventually it got back to normal at about 650-700km to the tank. I used it as my daily and still do. Just dont over take any cars off a set of traffic lights in from the left hand lane if you dont have much room to work with. You wont feel much different, itll just feel like driving a ZRE below 3000rpm, then after that it will go back to normal. I wonder if the camcon can do anything about it.
  19. Its not too dramatic, from 0 to about 3000 grand its not that responsive, then it goes hard once you reach 3500rpm onwards.

  21. The gurus believe that the stock cat is fine as its already massive enough to flow just as good as any after market cat. If you get the 2.5inch piping done, prepare yourself for a loss in response.
