yesterday, pre-face lift black corolla sportivo lowered on 18" bronze rims stuck in peak hour traffic at broadway in front of where ignition x. Looked very nice indeed.

How about winding the window down and yelling out psssstt on every gear change. Doesn't cost a cent. :P

I was thinking the same thing...

Do an ecu reset.

You're looking at around 1.5K to respray the whole side of the car ie. if it's metallic paint.

I regret selling my one. :( That is one clean car.

Yes, it goes softer after a couple of weeks and even softer after a couple of months. But when in lift, it still sounds loud. :o

I had mine done at sydney city toyota as well and I didn't even ask for it, they did it when they were changing the cpu over.

I also bought the corolla sportivo due to the bub and the added safety of having a late model car. The only problems with space that I have with it is not being able to fit a jogger pram in it and we have gotten by with a stroller. I'm planning on keeping the corolla as a track/hobby car... Congrats on the new bub !

Hmmm.. at 40-45K my preference would be to go with a vw gti or an mps3 with a load more torque. This car only has marginally more power than a sportivo right ?

The TRD one in the second link will install, but you need an angle grinder to cut through one of the supplied brackets so that it can support the CAI tubing nearest to the pod filter. I can't comment on the other links as I don't have an injen.

i was gonna ask that too... coz few gb like this didnt work out... if you can get it for that price.. then im interested!! im from sydney It sounds like he's getting them sent in pairs so perhaps the homework is done. If you can get them for $360 AUD, it's a bargain price.

Sorry guys, I have to pull out of this group buy. A remus is on the cards at the moment.

I'm no expert, but this is how I understand it. Here's an example. You're in 4th gear and want to go to 3rd gear. Press clutch in, shift gear to neutral & release clutch. Jab the throttle with the right foot, Press clutch in and shift to 3rd and release clutch. why not just press the clutch in and jab the throttle?? I think they call that rev matching. Double clutching if done right reduces wear and tear on your clutch and synchros. A mate of mine is a master of double clutching and has gotten 170,000 K's out of the original clutch. He doesn't drive like a granny either.

So if I double clutch on up shifts will it sound like my clutch is slipping and that is cool right.

I love those home photos. We can see that you're a big fan of green tea, drink nescafe coffee and eat nutella. Is that a jaycar bag I see. :)

Hey Limz, Can you put me down for the S12 in 2.25". I can't wait for the next S10 shipment. B) Thanks,

Are we waiting on April shipment of S10's or converting this to an S12 group buy ?

I've heard different. I've heard 2.5" will lose torque and gain a little at top end which is okay if you're racing and drive in lift everywhere. But if you just drive like a normal citizen, then stick with 2.25".

s12 is better.. imo... no buzzing sound.. i think s12 is softer Is that softer with the silencer added in at the back of the outlet pipe ? or do you have the new s12 ?

I ask them same thing and Leslie said they're expecting a new shipment of them in April - but wait for his confirmation. I'm prepared to wait for the S10 as everyone on here has written good reviews on it.

I got the email as well but only want 2.25" s10 as I don't want the extra droney noise that strawberryface was talking about in his review of it on his sportivo. And the alternate S12 - ppl on ozhonda have said they sound tinny. I'm prepared to wait till April for when the suppliers get them in, but what are all the 1zzfe ppl going to do ?

How abaout waiting to see if they are actually bringing in the Honda civic Type R to our shores. See link below: http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf...A257283000067D3
