Any updates from you, Blue_Stivo or ZEEROLLA?? :P

I've got one installed on my car... :) I found my car more responsive than before after installing it. There are alot of "messy and unstable" electric current in the car...the voltage stablizer stable those current, thus that make the ignition timing more accurate and powerful. As a result, it makes the car more responsive as well as improving fuel economy. :D Also, it also improve the brightless of your headlights as well as the efficiency of the other electric devices. KT_haha, how much is the one that you are looking at?? :o

Doesn't your car's user manual contains any guide on this???

The CTP, Compulsory Third Party, I think this kind of insurance is compulsory for anywhere in the world for the registration of a car ~!! Have a read at this :) http://www.maa.nsw.gov.au/greenslips11whatis.htm

It's the Compulsory Third Party or Green slip. Every car must have a green slip, in order to get registered. Quote from AAMI: "It is compulsory and a condition of motor vehicle registration in NSW."

Hey Blue_Stivo, I think u really should give the Sydney City Toyota, Waterloo a go. Both me and KT_haha had got our car done there. We are now both very happy with it. Last time, I just give them a call and tell them the problem, then they booked me in for a check up. On the day of the check up, I just took my car in and explain the problem to the Service Advisor, then he just took the car in and fix it for me. (I think they are familiar with the clutch problem and gear selector cable problem all kinds of those problems, so once you tell them, they just know what to do :) ) I took my car early in the morning around 7:30, then they gave me a call at around 2:00pm said the car is ready. Here is the service advisor's name for your reference, Ali Baalbaki. :) Wish you and Zeerolla good luck on this.... :)

I couldn't agree with you more, cept for the pre and post. I know it's just my opinion but the pre facelift is a much sportier looking Jap style whereas the facelift looks euro. Also much prefer the vents on the sides rather than under fogs. What's with the lip thing on the rear bottom half? Still a nice looking car but if it if it's not broke...... ← In fact, the post facelift look is the JAP version of Sportivo itself. So, I agree with sport1vo more :P Pre-facelift: Model after European look. Post-facelift: Model after more Japanese look. Have a look at this http://toyota.jp/Showroom/All_toyota_lineup/Runx/index.html http://toyota.jp/sp/corolla/newcorolla/runx/index.html It's the origianal look of Sportivo. The pre-facelift use the more euro look, while for post facelift they use back the original JAP RUNX look.

Those web site are the same one, it directs to the MAA site anyway. :P

Great timing, man ~~! :) I just got mine yesterday ~ I go for Allianz that cost $565. All the companies are charging the same price ~ go to here http://www.maa.nsw.gov.au/ to have a look. There is a cool tool that make quotes for you listing all the prices of different companies. However, they treat our Sportivo as "HIGH RISK" vehicle ~!!

Sorry, I'm not sure about the Tarago but I got something to say. I think the headlight aiming from factory is the best.......if you adjust it too high....it will blind the other drivers :( which would be danger. If you really want to adjust it, pls make sure the light beam won't go above the should of the front car's seat.

Any pics??? :)

Ha ha :D :D :)

:( Guys, when you replaceing the LEDs (or anything) to your parking light, BE CAREFUL ~~ :o You have to be 200% sure that the bulb is TIGHT and sit well onto the holder . I was trying to install the aftermarket LEDs to match my new HID, however, there was not enough room to work with (the right headlight), so I acceidentially left my bulb inside which I didn't make sure it's tight. In order to get my bulb back, I need to take out the front grille, the front bumper together with the front spoiler, the right headlight unit. That took me heaps of time ~~!!! After getting my bulb back, I used some tape to tape it up. The hardest bit was to put the bumper back ~~!!! You need to make sure every screw and clip is at the right spot. I needed to ask a freind of mine to HELP I'd thought of other way to get it back, but it was REALLY the ONLY solution for me~~ Guys, just never and ever left your bulb inside the headlight unit, that's PAINFUL~~ Just take my experience ` I really need to say thank you to "Oz_Viking", if without the sevice manual that he posted the other day, I would have no idea how to take the bumper out ....thanks very much man....

As Kcorro said, H7 for low beam. Most people have got the KDG and the Techone. I think they are the most popular ones in this forum. As you are from Sydney too, so it should be easy for you to get one. I just got mine installed myself....the hardeset bit is to get your hands to work in the limited room to fit the globe and wires. My one is with Philips ballast. :P

Yeah Hachirocku, haha I like Bunda (Takumi's dad, I watch Jap ver dunno their english name).

Cooley, Tell me more ! Where from ? Is this for High or Low ? More info pleeeeez ? Cheers T. ← It's the low beam. I bought from overseas far from HK, cost around AUD 400. The ballast was Philips "Made in Germany" (haha, I like this brand for lights, always reliable, just like Toyota for Cars :D ). I think the bulbs were not Philips bulb, but still look niceeeeeeee~~ :D With the purchase of that, I paid around AUD 25 to buy a "Votlage stablizer" which original cost was AUD 200. Those two products were in a special package ~ :D :P . The HID was originally cost around AUD 650. They were making a clearance sale before Chinese New Year, so the prices were just like in factory outlet. Btw, the performance of the votlage stablizer just make me smile ~ :) Go to my garage to have a look if you are interested. Trying to put some pics with how my HID looks ASAP(maybe tmr), need to find a place "DARK" enough to show the HID's brightness.

Welcome Stephy, Are you going to mod this seriously?? :P ........ Personally, I think a number plate just a "number" for the cops.........I really won't bother...to do anything with it.... and I think RTA was just earn a profit from the personalise number plate.....before they won't charge you annual fee for a personalised plate....just a one time pay off. If I were you, I won't let them get my money B) I rather save those money to buy some asscessories.... Just my 2 cents

Say it :"Ha Gi Lok" ~~!!! (86 in Japanese) :D 86 is a LEGEND .......I love it :)

Just got my installed yesterday, Philips 7000k, cost me around AUD$400. :D So, nice~~

I've got 7000k....but I haven't got it installed yet ......no time yet :P

Just my personal view, if you wanna boost the power, yeah.....the first step would be the air filter and exhaust. But it really depends on your badget :) , well, if your have some cash, then I'll say "Do the air filter + the exhaust together~~!!" "Breath in and Breath out" they have to work together ~~! :D This let you get the most out of your car and your parts. :D

If you really wanna upgrade the spark plug lead, try to look into the NGK Power Cable. Also, there is a device from HKS "HKS Twin Power". However, I have no idea what's that call in English. I read it from an foreign mag. The device is just a little box, what it does is to increase the length of the time that the spark plug ignite. I read about this on a mag, a guy who has a Toyota Aristo(Jap Spec) have mod the car seriously has the HKS Twin Power under the hood. If you are interest, maybe you can search on the internet for "HKS Twin Power" Hope that helps......

My car had the same situation with you before when the car is startionary and sometimes there some strange sound underhood, but when I step on the clutch the sound goes. I had asked my friend and he may just be the A/C. Other than that, there was no problem with normal driving. So, I think that is normal and not actually a PROBLEM ~ Anyone??

Both me and KT had got our babe done in Sydney City Toyota, Waterloo. The height doesn't change much...~!!

CHEERS...........OZ_VIKING You are the man ~ I was planning to find a way to adjust my headlight coz HID is coming, but I've no idea. The manual told me everything to adjust it like the professional do ~~ :D Thanks again.....I will keep the manual as long as the time I keep the car~~
