a little out of my price range hehe

Hi all, I have searched for days trying to find the answer, i found some info, but looked like it lead to a dead end. Anyway, obviously the sportivos dont support OBD II Elm Readers, but from the looks it supports a OBD II CAN protocol compatible reader?. Has anyone actually tried one of these on there stivos yet?, with any luck? Would be handy to have to check sensors and what not. thanks for you help, sorry if this has already been covered, i have looked for the last few days with no luck.

I would rather see the test done on a 1/4 mile, not on a dyno. 5 runs standard to get a decent average, 5 runs with CAI to get a decent average. Its obviously not going to nock .5 of a second off, but i think it would be a more accurate test of what a cai actually does. I dont think i dyno would be making the best use of air flow. Mind you, ive never really believed on testing any car on a dyno.

Ok, Injen CAI is now installed. And have now discovered the the hanger things holding the bottom of my front bar are pretty much broken, and have also discovered my front bar is in need of a respray, it has many many stonechips in it :/ Took it for a run at willowbank on saturday also, managed a 15.355, pretty happy with that, was aiming for a 15.2, but i think the chunky tyres were holding me back. Looking at ordering a strut brace for it next, and maybe some lowered springs, not sure if i want to ruin my front bar any more than what i have to though :/

Ok got my CAI, and installed it. From what i read there was heaps of problems with it being close to the floglight?, mine seems to be snug up the the front bumber, and a fare wack off the flog light. I always thought that the sit a lot lower then the one i got does. Does this sound right?, i got the injen RD2082P from america AM also taking it up to willowbank tomorrow night, looking forward to seeing what she'll run

Hi all, this is my new sportivo, had a SSS which was destined for a high compression VE motor, though the car was just too old, and ai bought this as a daily. I bought is stock as a rock, and so far, ive just done a 2.5" zaust from the resinator back, have ordered a injen intake which should be here in a few weeks, some new fat federal tyres, 205/55/16, will these scrub if i lower it? anyone no? lol. anyway looking forward to browsing the forum and learning some new things. here are some pics It is in pretty good nic, though the front bumber needs a respray as it has been molested by driveways lol

just wondering, how many k's has the car got?

Clutch is adjusted, much better slots straight in :D thank you all!!!

out of interest, did it make my difference? im assuming itd be much louder lol. so 123r-prozak, where the clutch connects to the rod, you pull the clip out on the left hand side, take the pin out, and then twist the part out that connects to the pedal correct?,

Ok so i put some new gear oil in, and it is a little better, though I have a feeling it is going to be down to the clutch adjustment. To adjust the clutch is it just a matter of winding the thing that connects to the pedal? (sorry for my technical terms, im not a very good mechanic lol) Exhaust was put on yesterday and fark it is loud. i got a friend to do it, and after looking at it, we decided to go from resinator back as the piping looked like a good size up to the resi. We went 2.5 inch mandrel bent, to 2.25" right before the rear muffler. sound awesome under load especially in lift, though a bit droney on the motorway and a bit bubbly changing gears lol. Might have to look into a quieter muffler. I am also looking into a CAI. Probably INJEN. I'm a bit confused though, i swear i saw two different part numbers one for pre-facelift and one for facelift. I have searched endlessly i just want to be sure before i order the one i thin it will be is RD2082P? and pre facelift was RD207 something? thanks for your help.

Ok I chucked her up on the hoist today, and was going to chuck some of that nulan gearbox treatment stuff in, turns out the box was overfilled, took the filler plug off, and gearbox oil just drizzled out in quite a large amount, the oil looked pretty good, not thin or watery, anyway no improvement. I found some Nulon 75w80 full synthetic in the shed, would this be suitable for it instead of the redline?. Also it has grinded a couple of times trying to go into 2nd as well, bad? or just what they do?. thanks,

Ok, Thanks. Toyota OEM replacement, or something a bit thinner

Thanks for the replies. The dealer is hopefully going to get some second hand rails and swap them over,. Ive also noticed second gear is quite fidgity at high revs, doesnt like to go on quickly. Ive read that this could be the syncros?, though the car hasnt done all that many k's. any adice on this would be great :)

Hi All, FIrst time post... ive just purchased a 2005 corolla sportivo which so far im pretty happy with. Ive gone from a N14 SSS which was supposed to get a high comp sr20ve into it, though i got bored of the car and bought this instead lol. I picked it up for 15k with 89k on the clock. I have got one problem with it though, the drivers seat has seemed to of come loose from its rails at the back? toyota want near 1300 for new rails. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue before? (apparently Toyota has sold a few) Anyway, I want to start with some basic mods, i noticed the TRD cold air intake is the best for these things, but can't seem to find any around on the net. Does anyone no a good alternative to these? cheers,
