Thanks guys...

After further inspection the following day, I don't think a cut n polish will do the trick...there are lil chip marks everywhere surrounding it..n i can see the undercoat of the paint...(quite bad ain't it??)

I think i may require a specialist to detail the car back to normal which is prob going to cost me some $$$..not to happy about it but what can you do eh?? ;)

If only i can attach a pic here to show you guys what trouble my car is in...

Once again, thanks for the help and support dudes..

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Whilst driving home last night, i was egged by someone on the road. I was quite angry about the whole ordeal . The egg hit my bonnet and I was driving about about 80kms..When i got home to clean the crap off, i found a scratch on my bonnet from that damn egg. I can prob put some touch up paint but then there is going to be a blob on top of that scratch and it will look quite F@#ed up.. So any ideas as to what i can do? N also not costing me a bomb to get it fixed???

Thanks in advance guys.

Hey Folks..

Black 'stock' Sportivo down in Canberra.. was formally from Vic but moved up here for work..

Anyone else in Cbr besides Toohey?

Can you claim this through insurance or is it not worth it??

Hey guys,

I sometimes get this crunch noise when i change gears..esp, when I change gears in high RPMS...so should i go back to toyota dealer and get it checked out?? Or it's just common wear and tear of a new car?

Other then that, I have been trying to look out for some of the common problems but I've only encountered one so far which is a vibration near the key ignition but after my 1000km service, it seems like the problem has been resolved...well i hope anyway...

Thanks for your response in advance.

Cheers. :D

My insurance company (AAMI) only allows 2 mods as well but they are cosmetic mods (eg. i can get 17" tyres, stereo system etc.) and not performance incentive. So tat means i can't lower the car and chuck in new suspensions..:(

<_<

Hey guys..

I've got my stivo...it was freaking awesome to drive it.. i was so tempted to red line it a couple of times..heheh.. but i guess i resisted a lil.. but u guys think it's okay to do it every now n then? i dunno if i should or not...

I did store it a couple of times though.. :o still trying to get use to the clutch and also the gear box..so much different to the excel i was practicing in.. ;)

It's been good so far..i haven't heard any of the problems as yet but i hope i dun.. :D

I've already done 100Kms....can't wait for the 1000km service...so 900kms to go! hehe

btw, did u guys get a full tank of petrol? I only got half a tank.. is this normal?

Hey folks,

I'm finally picking up my stivo tmrw or sat...I was just going to ask u all what i should be looking out for when i pick up the car... Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. It's been a long 3 months wait and i can't believe it has finally arrived..

I just can't wait to drive it out of the dealership.. :D :D

Wish me luck guys..

hey guys,

Have been reading heaps on this forum and thanks for your info. It will help me to look out for things in my sportivo when i pick it up sometime this week.. (finally it has arrived..3 months wait)

so there isn't really much done at the 1000km service?? NO wonder it's free i guess..

Keep up the good work. It has been a good source of information! :D

Getting a black one...

prob get the floor mats, pedals and still deciding whether or not i should go for the sports grill or not...
