oh! sorry dude! tell her i didn't mean to hurt her feelings ;)

WHAT! you want it slower?

doesn't seem like it, does it? :(

They can be purchased from Autojoy, autobarn, kmart, supercheap auto. Prices range from 40-60 i bought 2 red AXS covers with black stitching for $80 @ autojoy.

i'm going! WOOHOOO! i'm on early shift, so i can go to the night cruise. about the location..hmm...may pose a bit of a hinderance... anywhere else boys?

i hope they do get recalled. if it's really bad, maybe i can get a refund? is it possible to get a refund?

There is a straight talk suspension in blacktown. near the train station. directly across the quizons subs. within the same vecinity as nationwide and bridgestone. =)

even with the genuine eyelids..there was double sided tape all the way around. i went out and bought a big roll of extra strong double sided and covered the WHOLE underside with double sided tape. if someones does want to take them, they'll have to take it in bits....coz í'm pretty sure they ain't coming off Chris

ouch!!! That's going to be one VERY PAINFUL lesson in lift to who ever's receiving it. Oh, and check out the intake manifold...there's very little space left in there.

drooooool.......

i'm xTiGeRx on xboxd live on project gotham racing 2 :D

Supercheap auto has radios for $40. and that's with 5km range.

1zz-fe is what is found in the normal corollas (ascent, conquest, levin, ultima). 2zz-ge is wha is found in the sportivo.

as soon as i got the car i bought seat covers. and when i clean the car i take the covers off...and haven't noticed any abnormal wear and tear at all. All my seats (front and back) look & feel good as new.

There are a few different ways to install a tacho/shift light. In the Sportivo's case or any other car that uses 'coil packs'...you can either get the RPM signal from the ECU (this requires an ECU diagram...good luck!). Another way is to purchase one of those tacho/shift light units that plug into your cigarette lighter. The unit measures your alternators pulse and gets its signal from there. It's easier to purchase the unit. With older vehicles that use a distributor, you can just get the signal from the spark plug area or the dizzy itself. With coil packs, this will not work. Trust me! I've only managed to get my tacho to work with coil packs once..and that's disconnecting 2 spark plugs and running the car on 2 cyclinders. Not Healthy! Made the car sound like a Boxer engine though. hahaha

Yeah. It would be nice to invite them and all. Especially to show them what the Sportivo can really do. But, just by their attitudes (not all of them) seems like they'll just fire up once we beat them...again..and again. May cause some unneccesary 'disputes'. Although, maybe personal invitations to the ones that are actually open minded and acknowledge that there are better cars out there...maybe... What do you think Xoom? -Chris

did any1 tape it? i missed it. can i borrow someones copy? Thanx :D -Chris

i second that Hames.

registered on the forum and trying to get them to open their minds that there are different cars out there other than honda's that can actually beat honda's. <_< get's pretty sad when it gets to the point of tunnel vision. -chris

Raced an VT SS Commodore about 6 times with 2 traffic light runs. He beat me. My gear box is stuffed. I actually have to push the clutch all the way in and force it into the gears. Before i could just 1/2 clutch and slam it and all was good. now...it's either all the way in or CRUNCH. Even with all the way in it has an INITIAL CRUNCH. Oh wells. He pulled up next to me and said "that's a freakin fast corolla!" and i go "yeah and it's stock. then i told him that my rims were heavier than stock and the exhaust makes me loose a bit of bottom end". he was really impressed! :D then another commodore who watched the whole race...pulled up next to me and asked what the car was..and i told him it was a 4cyl n/a corolla. he was really impressed too!! :D right before the last traffic light drag..we had to slow down coz of traffic. and then....there were like 3 police cars with speed cameras ....lucky we both stopped before then. *phew* i reckon Xoom with his chip and quickshift would beat him. -Chris

When you have the any of the rear windows down and have the front windows up, the wind pressure enters the cabin and then creates a pulsating pressure within the cabin. This is due to the pressure waves colliding and cancelling or amplifying each other. Similar to when two cars have sports exhaust systems and cruise next to each other. When the exhaust pulses are in harmony, you can hear the....MmmmMMMmmmMMmMMMmmmm noise. That's the sound waves cancelling and amplifying each other. The reason why it doesn't really happen to older cars, is because they are not as 'air tight' as new cars. Old cars generally didn't seal very well or the seals are already old and wind escapes easily. Of course, being newer cars, they are designed better ( <_< ) and should be more air tight. This air tightness helps to reduce the amount of 'energy' (fuel, electrics, etc) to run such things as air-con. It would be very inefficient to have an air conditioner in a pergola. Works better in a room, right? :) Hope this helps. -Chris

second that richi :D -Chris

Hi All, I too am selling my XForce Muffler. $230.00. My muffler can be bolted on and off. I had a custom flange put on it, cost a bit extra, but at least i can remove it without having to weld and deweld it. i can take photo's of it if you like. If you are interested, PM me. :D Sounds awesome! Similar exhaust to Xoom's...different model that's all. -Chris
