Hey Guys I’ve had my stivo for a while and mine sounds the same. I’ll be shortly pulling my motor apart for a head Rebuild with performance upgrades. so ill update you guys with how it goes and what is F***ed up and needs to be replaced Im also going to check my valve rods for bends as I read it is a common problem with the 2zz design Do many of you notice your car back fire a bit when backing off the accelerator? Also on the topic do many of you guys get a shimming rattly sounds when you back off it sounds like it comes from the gear box but people keep saying that it seems like the heat shield plates for the exhaust is loose but I recon it may be coming from the gear box. any ideas ? Regards XENTU8

Hey I had massive problem with my gear box which resulted in replaceing the whole clutch line this was ment to be under warranty but i still had to pay half of everything was ment to take it to department of fare trading but got lazy and didnt do so. Toyota will try and dodge you out of any warranty with them bottom fact is if it breaks within warranty it should be replaced at there cost only exception is for parts like Clutches, brakes which cop abuse 24/7 but evan this can be disputed and toyota need to provide proof the problem was caused by incorrect use or operation of these parts. First step is to have a independant report done on the problem then a report done by toyota after you have both reports tackle toyota head on over a warranty issue this will tighten the loop holes which toyota try and use when voiding warranty. Hope this was a help Regards Jas

Hey Pretty Hard its not worth it at all as you will never get it to sound exactly like a Skyline anyway your cars a corolla not a Skyline and the stivos have a awsome roar as it is. My suggestion go for performance not to sound like a skyline Regards Jas
