MotoMan

Hey at least you dont have the noise my car is making... When taking off.. especially on hills, My car exhibits a metal on metal scrapping noise... Its pretty much right at the stall point... doesnt really matter what gear.. reverse, first or second mainly Im hoping its just a heatshield rattling or something.. Its going into Toyota on Monday p.s. Toyota tech came for a drive with me and said its nothing critical... but they need to get it up on the hoise to check it out

OMG thats classic... and great for the toyota sportivo :)

cheers :)

see you guys there :)

I would put $100 on alignment or balancing :P

IM IN AGAIN :) hopefully its still on.. perhaps i can show you all my latest mod.. Suits the red dash perfectly B)

NO not at all actually.... he wants $100 deposit before he will go get them out of storage? WTF? im not prepared to give $100 to someone ive never heard of before if someone wants to buy them off him and resell them to me for a profit id be for that :) but deposits.. screw that.. The way it works these days is... i give someone money.. they give me a product... p.s. he also slagged off the TRD CAI saying it wasnt designed for our cars and it was effectively crap.. pffft Thanks anyway tangcla.. and Kcorro who sent me the exact same links 5 mins before you :) Still hunting for eyelids and sports grilles :(

sorry guys im out.... have to work sunday now :( I wonder if ill ever get a chance to meet all you fellow Stivo owners

I am so there.... got sunday monday off woohoo :) and my Birthday on the 1st of July

Hey dont forget to add me to the list... Im definetly interested... although id love if it was a a while away caus im gonna get my CAI soonish... Im going for most powerful stivo there :).. i rekon im in with a chance..

If i buy a TRD CAI.. can someone in melb help me install it? perhaps a slab of your choice would be required :P

No no no.. you've got it all wrong... Silver attracts old grannies.. Blue attracts the chicks.. isnt that right wei wei

It certainly helps your decision when the dealer taking you for a test drive chirps it into second :) Made my decision nice and easy :P

RRP is $28,990 plus on roads... but most of the guys here payed around $28-29 on road.... including myself.. mine was $28.5 with mats, free 10K service and carbon fibre (looking) rear numberplate insert.. and slimline plates My brother has the Mazda 3 Sp23 sedan... his car handles a little better.. mostly due to the larger rims and low profile tyres.. but it isnt as fast as the stivo... Nor is it as roomy inside.. Driving posistin is very cramped.. IMHO He loves driving my car.. especially now that i put an exhaust on.. Sounds so nice :) (CAI next) The Sportivo very comfortably seats 4 big people.. and 5 smaller people Gearbox issues are an easy fix if your car even has any issues... Just mention the fix that was issued by Jenny Stewart in Novemeber 2004.. Once that's sorted the gearbox is beautifuly smooth If you have any other questions feel free to ask B)

Please dont tell me to search... i already have... Ive also checked the sticky up the top... and all the places listed for melbourne people are closed or no longer there... Does anyone know where to get the eyelids and Sports grille? (toyota quoted me $400 for the grille) Frik that any help would be greatly appreciated.. Melbourne based would be heaps better or if anyone is selling theirs? Cascade blue?

WTF?!?! why is the word G.O.D. censored? youve gotta be frikken kidding me *** damn it :P

It is impossible to put into reverse and not know about it :) *** bless the reversing beeper... I sometimes feel sad and unsure about my reversing abilities in other cars now :( I have to make sure im in reverse like 4 times before ill start reversing :P while on the topic of reverse... do you guys have trouble with the Stivo crunching into reverse? even at a complete standstill? I find if you whack it into first before going reverse it helps alot.. Dad said the 350z's are the same... and whacking it into 1st realigns all the gears..

Check there are no gaps anywhere with the new CAI.. and reset your ECU... This has been discussed before... ALOT <_<

Install Guide This is the closest i could find... does that resemble his/her dash? Most Dashes simply come unclipped... well modern dashes anyway...

sorry about your accident MAP81.. but pulling the handbrake on... Hope the car is back on the road soon

perhaps we should postpone this cruise until we can get some clear details... perhaps we should focus on the Sunday 26th cruise...? i dont know.. this all seems to rushed

if its a night cruise youll have to count me out... i have to work on Monday morning at 2am

id definetly be interested... Bout time i get out and about.... perhaps i need to organise my CAI by then

Yep id be up for it... Bout time i meet everyone i suppose :)

Yer i had a Piezzo Screamer inside my last car :) btw club locks arent all that great.. they are more of a visual deterant.. Theif sees 2 cars.. 1 has club lock.. Steals the other car In this day and age it comes down to one thing.. If someone wants "YOUR" car they will find a way to take it.. Btw.. I hope you have insurance
