Thanks Trent, just updated my original post to be more clear with my question

Hi,

So me being careless, I assumed the Sportivo major service is done at 100k's (as is with many other cars) as opposed to 80k's, meaning I am nearing 20k's after from when I should have got it done (at the 100k mark now).

How should I approach this? I have my car regularly serviced (every 5-7k) so it has been running fine, but unsure of what to do once it hits 120k if I get it done now at 100?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Danny

WD40 did the trick for about 3-4 days.. however the problem has come back. any other suggestions?

would it be worth taking to a mechanic to check out?

Hi all,

I started hearing a squeak every time I press or lift up the clutch, has anyone had this problem before or have a permanent fix?

Read it might be the master cylinder being dry but would like to know if there's any other solutions before I spam it with WD-40.

I drive a 2005 Corolla Sportivo

Thanks in advance,

Danny

hi ryan

I'll buy the whiteline sway and visors for $100ea

hey, just wondering how you imported the kit?

was it through a distributor or did you order yourself straight from gialla.co.jp?

thanks

will these fit without scrubbing/needing guard work?

16x8 +15

or should I go with the much coveted 16x7 +35 wheel size (for no scrubs/guard work)?

advertised as 1.1" front and rear drop but I'm settling at about 1.2 / 1.3"

Lol how did u snap it?

broke the stud whilst tightening it when I was putting the wheel back on after spring installation

in that case, anyone want to buy a moderately new pair of eibach pro-kit springs? they've been on less than a month haha

haha yeah the screw actually snapped off, yet to have time to get it replaced

Hi all,

I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed, although they are great, they aren't low enough for my liking...

I know if I go any lower it'll probably be an annoying daily, but I really want to get rid of the fender gap (see below).

Any suggestions as to fill this void?

Thanks

hey mate,

looks like a good compromise and can definitely see the difference from stock already

will be putting mine in tomorrow hopefully - will share results then

hi all,

I recently purchased Eibach Pro-Kit springs to lower my 2005 Corolla Sportivo.

General research lead to the conclusion that they are good springs, albeit there is not a massive drop

Just wondering if anyone has installed these and could provide a side on shot before/after? There doesn't seem to be many reliable images out there

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,

I'm after either TEIN S-Tech or H-Tech springs for a 2005 Corolla Sportivo in good/useable condition

Thought I'd ask around before I leap in and get a brand new set

Hi all,

First post and first car!

I recently bought a 2005 Sportivo - 71,000kms, regularly serviced, mechanically pretty good

However, I noticed that there's a bit of a crunch/grind when I change from second to third gear

I've been reading around and it seems that a lot of people have this issue? Although it can be easily solved (short term) by changing the gearbox oil...

Just wanted to confirm this is a good first step: is 75W-90 rcommended and do I also add G70 or will that be counterproductive?
