Ok guys i got an e-mail from Leslie.

Quoting Leslie "Hi Andrew, just check with supplier, they only have 2.5 inch left instock, alternatively S12 can be replace with extra $10. I try to push the supplier for the same price as S10 but they couldn't, this extra $10 is not for my profit is for the cost price."

He also told me that there is only 3 S10's in stock. So what do you guys think of the S12 for an extra $10. Usually it's a considerable amount more than the S10.

I'm waiting for a reply on when new stock will arrive. Let me know what you guys think!! I'll keep you posted.

That means I'm in for the S12 group buy (for $150 am I right?). When do u want payment limz???

Hey guys u can get em at King Wreckers at in Sydney Fairfield on Fairfield st, they are $170 after market for prefacelift.

cheers

I bought mine from there (PS its $200 with the wiring n sh!t included)

I strongly advise u NOT to buy these ones it took me n my uncle (whos an electrician) a full day to install em due to F**K LOADS OF PROBLEMS!!! (one of the clips broken on fog light, only one set of clips compatible with our model as overseas is different, wiring does not match our model (we had to wire it with all of his equipment))... Anyways moral is DONT buy these n be weary with any aftermarket ones as they are gonna b a pain in the f**kin arce to get installed!!!

Anywho thats just my 2 cents from someone who bought aftermarket foggies (although they do work well wen installed)

so who else is in for this?

Still thinking bowt it... I'll let uz know by the end of the wk

hey guys im just wondering whats the lowest we can go with just using springs and not coilovers

whats the lowest i know atm the lowest 50-60mm with superlows but has anyone gone lower then superlow on springs?if so how low and what springs...?

Search on eBay I remember a company making ultra low variety springs for our rollas

Toyota Motor Corp Australia are finally starting their pre-launch campaign for the new Corolla. I'm not sure what the other states are doing, but all the dealerships in WA must nominate a salesperson to be "Corolla Champion". All champions will go to extra training sessions in preparation for the may launch. I have had the great honor of being Prosser Toyota's Corolla Champion, and my first meeting with Toyota is this Wednesday morning. I'm not sure what is involved, but I will be sure to share what info I have been given.

Will keep you guys posted, I don't know about anyone else, but this is the most exciting launch this year for me.

Well done mate, congrats :)

Hey could you please let us know what will happen in terms of the TRD version ;) (whether they will use the Aurion 3.5L V6 or Camry 2.4L L4). Thanks in advance...

Cheers,

Jared :)

OUCH! :o

Lookin very nice there mate! :D

How much does it cost to get your car detailed these days?

Cost me $35 and cost my mate $40 I think because it was a Merc and they figured he could afford it.

Wow thats cheap, did it include polishing?

Could you please post or PM me the address of this place. Thanks in advance ;)

Cheers,

Jared :)

Lookin hot man! B)

I think they went all out n got the Exige 240R (Supercharged version) by the looks of the article!

i had a look at the best mufflers site i think it was and it has 2 different types of the s12 twin loop the s12 and the s12uni57 has anyone found out the diff it looks like the tip is alot bigger on the s12 than the s12uni57

i want the s12 it looks beefier the bigger the better i say lol as long as its not a cannon lol :P

anyone know any more info on the 2??

yea I saw that n was wanderin the same thing WTF

Yea doesnt look very good does it

Yarrghh kill it!!! Ewww...

I actually quite like it... Come on u gotta agree that its better than the frog lights stage

We had a car sprayed and they stupidly sprayed the sticker as well, thats how we found out bout the sticker.

Dunno what colour is underneath but if anyone is interested i can get a photo with a levin with complete white doors so u can see if u like it

If u dont mind would u please b able to post it... Thanks ;) :)

Edit

Well guess what guys

Its changed, but its for the good.

I have just changed my order to a... 2007 Manual Levin.

As some of you might know corolla's have siesed production inway of the new model.

Upside: LEVIN

Downside: 16 days of pain waiting without a car!!

Pics to follow!!

Did they make you pay much extra for the Levin (seeing as they could not get you an Ascent Sport (is this correct?))

All good man I wasnt disputing that every1 with a sportivo go get the high-cam change over point of 4000RPM I was just shocked that they made it engage so early (Probably cos a supercharger does not need as much restriction down low to produce torque + superchargers benefit from more time to get compressed air in n out of the chambers... Am I correct?)

The Lotus Sport Exige 240R in More Detail

The Exige is, of course, built to the lightest specification possible without resorting to expensive and rare materials normally found in the rarified environment of Formula One or Aerospace Industries where weight reduction is often considered more important than cost. The performance improvements had to be made through increasing the power of the engine without significantly increasing the weight of the engine and therefore the overall weight of the car.

The standard Exige uses a 189 hp (141 kW, 192 PS) 2ZZ-GE 1.8 litre VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing with Lift – intelligent) engine supplied by Toyota. This high revving engine is governed to a maximum engine speed of 8500 rpm with a change between two cams (a high speed cam and a low speed cam) at between 5800 rpm and 6200 rpm depending upon the operating conditions of the car.

The supercharged engine in the Lotus Sport Exige 240R has a maximum power output of 243 hp (181 kW, 246.8 PS) at 8000 rpm and a torque figure of 174 lbft (236 Nm, 24 kgm) at 7000 rpm. This vast amount of extra power and torque now available means that the cam change between the low-speed cam and the high-speed cam now takes place at around 4000 rpm giving a smooth and linear surge of power from 4000 rpm all the way to the maximum 8500 rpm.

The equivalent power output of a standard 3.0 litre engine was the target when the initial research and feasibility study got underway in the Autumn of 2004. Working closely with Lotus Engineering’s world leading Powertrain Research Team, the advanced 1.8 litre VVTL-i 2ZZ-GE engine was fitted with a supercharger and intercooler system

Apparently the Exige 240R can hit Lift at 4000RPM :o

Why did u sell it?

Hello All,

Just to introduce myself. I have just recently purchased a ex-demo 2006 Corolla Levin. It's Japanese made (according to VIN) car done in Silver Leaf colour, only done 14ks, and has a factory sunroof. I'm hoping to pick it up next week. Just a couple of questions :-

1) How do I know if it has a facelift? I assume it hasn't since it is a ex-demo which is mostly likely stock. Was thinking some eyelids would be nice.

2) In terms of petrol, use I be using a higher octane petrol or would regular unleaded be sufficient for this model?

3) I'm not really that all interested in mods as this car is mainly for my wife to use on a daily basis, but what recommendations do you suggest (for general improvements not necessarily performance related) I should do to this Levin? I'm quite handy with cars so if it is simple then I don't mind doing it.

4) Any gotchas with this particular model that anyone is aware of? I assume there has been no recalls on this model and no known faults yet.

Looking forward in getting my Levin. BTW I tested drove a ex-demo 05 Sportivo and was quite keen to get that one but couldn't get the right price with the dealer, so ended up with the Levin instead.

Cheers,

Zombie

3) Get a K&N Panel Filter (ur engine code is 1ZZ-FE)

how long do you want to stay and what do you want to see?

Australia is a BIG place...

10 or 15 days

I don't know what there's to see, I don't know Australia

Sydney is a great city, Melbourne is the temple of speed, but I don't know if there is something else most beautiful......

If u can get urself into a 4 wheel driving trip (they are awesome :) , and yes there are many beautiful places) do it! Some examples are the Cape York trip, Kimberley trip (both of which I have done) and many many more. But this may be difficult to do seeing as u r coming from overseas :( (besides renting one of those Britz 4wd's n buying some equipment for camping etc then booking a tag-along tour)

Crikey!!!Look at what i found in the back yard! :o Scary!

Yea I killed about 15 of those in one day in my Aviary (shed sized bird cage) a while ago (and there some massive ones!) :o

Edited. The stock 1zz exhaust is 1.75" which is about 44mm. The only inlets that come with the twinloops are 2.25" or 2.5". So for you, i'd get the 2.25" inlet then you can get the exhaust shop to make a reducer pipe which at one end is 2.25" and the other end is 1.75" so it can be bolted onto your stock exhaust.

Thanks mate ;) I just thought they made a 2" (51mm) inlet version (as it said so on this site: http://www.bestmufflers.com/Xforce_Exhaust...ms/mufflers.htm ) but I checked the xforce site ( http://xforce.com.au.tmp.anchor.net.au/uni.../list_mufflers/ ) and it didn't mention it there so I guess they do not make it anymore??? <_<

apologises if this has been covered already and bringing up a very old thread but has ignition x gone bust? tired calling their nubmer and it has it's not connected and their website cannot be found anymore.

In saw it mentioned in another thread that they are moving locations apparently

EDIT: I think it was Chatswood they were moving to

OK here's the list so far.

S10

1.LiMz RoLLa

2.Grima88

3.X_tarcy33

5.Strawberryface ????

6. Saiya ?? (Come on Phil you know u want to!!!! :D )

1.YDOIT4

MP02

1.GAZOOM (Price Pending)

Lol u got me in the wrong list (I should be on the S12 list) :P

O btw wat inlet should I get for a stock 1zz exhaust (I'm guessing 2" (51mm))

Thanks man :)

Does the S12 come with a silencer? (I remember reading somewhere that it does)

Hey guys thanku for your e-mails. I found the eye-lids on e-bay, I still need to check if he ships to Malta.

Hey Grima, i think you wanted to mean "How r u?", it is spelled "Kif inti?" not "Kaffinti", but you were almost there.

Yea thats it

My family originates from Malta and I started learning Maltese, but I got lazy after a couple of weeks n stopped lol
