Hi there,

Well, I finally bit the bullet and got my 100,000km service. I've got to find another mechanic, cost $330 (!!!!) and the only extra stuff to the standard service was change the spark plugs and flush the engine (to remove grimy oil I believe).

I took it to Canberra Toyota, mainly because I still needed the recall done on my 2003 Sportivo. Now I've read a lot here about that recall and decided to get the Toyota guys to do it when they serviced it yesterday, BUT to my surprise according to them, the only Recall done on the 2003 was to the dimmer switches. I mentioned that I thought it was more than that and I am a member here, but they said they'd check the VIN number as the dimmer switch recall was only done to some of the VINs anyway..... and mine wasn't one of them!

Is this true???!!!!

Thanks

Jen

Spotted Jen on the main street of queanbeyan at about 4:15... Now you can die an even happier sheila.

Wooohoo! Thanks Simo!

Thanks guys,

It seems the general consensus from Sunday's Canberra meet is that I need to get the Sportivo recall done, so I'm stuck with going to Toyota to service it.

Once my wallet crawls out from it's hiding place under the couch where it's currently cowering in fear, I'll book the service. Urghhh.

Thanks again,

Jen

From the photos, I think the new Levin is a bit ugly, I'll have to see them in person before I pass the final judgement though.

I really don't understand why there's so much concern about the new TRD Toyota. If they bring it out, it'll just make my Sportivo look slow! :P

That's on Tonight?!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Just spotted Jen on the main street of Queanbeyan..............

Ah yes, being spotted on the main street of Queanbeyan, I can now die happy :P

Spotted this afternoon at the Civic roundabout near the convention centre:

Black Sportivo. With a bonnet scoop. I was so busy looking at it I almost ran into something.....

He was checking out my car too.... a member here perhaps?

Good morning all,

I'm still coming but I've gotta go at about 1pm.

See you guys in about an hour.....

Jen

Hiya,

Well, my beloved Sportivo is sitting on 99,975km and I'm starting to contemplate the upcoming (and slightly dreaded) 100,000km Service. Anyone know how worried my wallet and I should be? Preferably in a $$ figure

And what problems have people had at this service?*

Thanks,

Jen

*I ask this while crossing my fingers and hoping everyone says "None"

Hi interstaters,

I'll try to get there for the show and shine on Saturday.

Jen

I'm in.

Considering it's going to take "grouse to whole new levels of radness" I don't think I could really refuse.

There's and ACT rolla club?????

Is everyone here members of there as well???

Hiya,

My Sportivo's registered in NSW and they reakon it weighs 1178kg, it was previously registered in VIC and they stated it was 1100??!!!!

Where are they getting these figures from??? Did my car suddenly gain 78kgs when it crossed the border!

I'd go with Toyota's figures....

Jen

Hey Simo,

Yeah, that was me!

Not getting much use out of the sunroof at the moment though.... too bloody cold...

Jen

AWC57R Blue Sportivo

Spotted in Tuggeranong at about 5:15pm yesterday

Hey Guys,

Long time no see. I'll be at the bbq with bells on.....

Though it depends when it is.... can't do Saturday afternoons anymore

Jen

Bugger

I suppose I'll just have to use lift more often and spend the cash I would've spent on getting the work done on extra petrol instead.

Guilty as charged, I'm just LLLLAAAZZZYYYY.....

But I suppose if no-one replies I'll do a search :P

BLU77K Spotted while I was in Sydney on the weekend.

Also spotted a black sportivo with a bonnet scoop (??huh??) Rego: BEB33K around Randwick. Sydney seems to have heaps more Sportivo's rolling around than Canberra!

Hi guys,

This topic's probably been covered a million times, but has anyone Supercharged their Sportivo? I really want to, but I've been told things can go very badly wrong.....

If it has worked, how much did it cost???- I'm thinking it's got to be around $3K...

I'm so very keen to do it, but I don't want to stuff up my gorgeous car....

Thanks,

Jen

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to know when the next meet is? Can anyone give me a time and a place?

Thanks,

Jen

So, guys, it's been a while. When are we meeting up again?

Can we make a date/time even if it's a few weeks away? Hopefully that way everyone can squeeze in a meet into their obviously overcrowded diaries.

Anyone free in the next week or so?

Out of interest is anyone from Canberra heading to the Sydney National meet in June?

I'm thinking about it....

Jen

Airbourne128224 - really, don't worry about it......

You'll make me feel HEAPS better.

Hiya,

I suppose this would be better as a pole, but here goes...

Are personalised plates pretentious?

I admit I have them, but I just want all those *^#@%%^ to know they've just been beaten by a girl...

What's the general opinion though????

Jen

It bloody better be on! I just spent the vast majority of my Saturday getting my car up to standard!

Car lovers, lots of Leather protector and Amorall.

Bring it on! :)
