Sorry, they're definetely different springs, if you compare the ride height of my car as well and the suspension stiffness to that of the Sportivo and you'll see the difference. If they were the same, my car would look like a monster truck ← Oh sorryIZZ-FE, I didn't realize you have got the Sportivo springs installed on your car already.. !~~ Sorry, man....I shouldn't have argued with you coz you yourself have already installed :P There is no doubt you know the product more than me... I was just 50/50...I was not too sure neither...and I just said it to see if someone correct me....hahah :D

I think the Stivo itself has those "Sportivo accessory" Fitted already....you can go to this cataloge to have a look..... http://corolla.toyota.com.au/TWP/Upload/Media/303.pdf in the cataloge, the "Tick" means avaiable for that model.... as from the table....those accessories that dun have a "tick" for the Stivo are actually the accessories that the Stivo ALREADY have them fitted in standard. For example, the 6 disk CD player....under the Sportivo...there was no tick.....but a symbol '--', another example is, the rear parking sensor, the Sportivo this time have a tick as the parking sensor was not standard option for Sportivo.

Um....but in my opinion, the sportivo springs are different to the rest of the range... :o Quoted from Toyota Geneiue Asseccesories page: "Sportivo Sports Spring Kit Developed by Toyota, these Sports Springs deliver an even firmer and sportier level of handling for sports motivated drivers. They also lower the vehicle for a racier appearance."

Yeah, the CHASER was the Japan only ones.....you can easily see them around in Japan and Hong Kong. But they have already stopped production becoz of the environmental protection issues.....the large capacity engine cars are withdraw from production. (Just like the GTR R34) due to poor fuel economy. However, CHASER is still very popular of it's RWD design. They are still a good choice for those "DRIFTING" guys. People just enjoy the fun of driving the high power FWD. :D

I would never buy a second hand turbo petrol vehicle in this country, the chances of it having had its guts thrashed out is too high. ← The current model sportivo does not come with a turbo :P

IMO, it's just a 04 stivo with the bumper, headlight and grille of the facelifted version installed. All the spec are same as the current stivo. There is no offical news from Toyota Australia that the NEW sportivo is out ~~?! There is nothing about the NEW stivo in www.toyota.com.au

Do you have a different feeling with your clutch after you got back your car??? Since most of us have got a slightly heavier clutch, and the friction pt was a bit lower then before. I doubt these changes were due to the change of the cable ~ I think the change of cable was for the vibration and rattle behind the cenral console at high rev. IMO, I think they did something to the clutch....... Correct me if something is wrong B) What you guys reckon?? B)

Btw, I copied this somewhere in this forum, this was a email reply from Toyota Australia. Print it out in case you get a "cheaty" dealer Here is the email: Ask the guy if he had heard about "Jenny Stewart" :P :D :P ~~

Man, then you should ask him "Have you heard about the Toyota Technical News Flash 30/11/04?"....this is the officical "internal" technical documents for the Toyota service ppl. Ask that stupid guy to read this if he got no idea about what you are talking about..... if he doesn't know the "the Toyota Technical News Flash 30/11/04".....jsut talk to service manager. If even the manager dunno about it....man then just leave straight away..... I dun think a dealer who even have no idea of the Toyota service document are good enough to fix your car and solve the problems ~~ :D :D Correct me if I'm wrong :P

Hi T-sport, Well done, man....very nice..... Do you mind if I ask how much are the rims and how much are the tyres.??

Yeah, IZZ-FE, totally agree~!! Actually, I was having the same mod plan as Gus, your advice are very helpful...... Um....but I got a question.....isn't the stivo comes with a stock rear stabiliser/sway bar?? Does it means it's not really helpful on body roll???? :P

Not many of us have installed that since it's ILLEGAL....so we couldn't really help on the installation of it....what we can help was to remind him it's ILLEGAL .... I dun agree this forum is not helpful , many fellow members are willing and able to help......like the gear shifting problem, tyre and rim....they all have lots of suggestion and ideas.... :D I think as a fellow member of ours, we should remind him instead of "helping" Lukeprentice to break the law .......... (Personal Point of View)

NSW == YOU BREAK THE LAW

Just curious guys, do u guys watched the anime or read the comic books ???

How much was the labour then ?? ← Some of our fellow club members have got the Koni sports suspension?? What is that?? 1. Is that the one from Whiteline?? Is it from the Whiteline suspension kit?? 2. By the way, any idea what's the Whiteline suspension kit about??

How much was the labour then ??

Yep. I have already pulled out on the Accord Euro. Financial problems. Let's just say someone didn't pay a Vodafone bill. Things are also looking good with the Stivo. Hope everything gets fixed at this other Toyota service centre. I was soooo close to trading it in. Now that the clutch issue has been fixed I'm beginning to have a bit of fun with her again. :D ← Welcome back, man .......it's a good sign that people are falling in love with their stivo again ~~ :P I haven't done mine yet due to working schedule. Looking forward to see what will be the difference ~~

The points u get in Flybuys expired before you save enough to get something from it.......they expired very soon....I was shocked last time when I went to www.flybuys.com.au :(

Yeah, so do I. . But I dun care about the Flybuys, they are a piece of shxt. I did my 10k last month, they didn't asked me to do any injector cleaning. I used Optimax since day 1 with some Mobil 8000 in some occasions. Both of them are cool, haven't tried the BP Utimate yet.

I tried once before. I was in a one lane road. The car in front was 4-5 car length in front of me. He was turning left into street. So, I didn't brake and keep my speed, but what the xxxx, that guy suddenly stopped fully. ~!!! And have half of the lane blocked by the tail of his car.......!!! He was giving way to the pedestrians who were already given way to him ~!! I steped as HARD as I can on the brake......I remember I was about 60-70. I was about 10 cm from his car after I fully stopped. I felt the brake pedal was shaking and have some sound, was that the ABS???? I remember my car stoped with 3 car length and no sliding. Woh.....so lucky

Relax.... rolla82 thinks he is making fun of it, but in fact he is making shxt of it. Guys, shall we just ignore him and treat his meaningless post as invisible. Then what shxt can he still say. LNE15, I think you dun even need to "reply" those rubbish post, it just waste your time. He is that kind of guy that just making fun from people which they think they do. If we just treat him as invisible, I dun see how long will this topic will last B)

Can you drive your car to Sydney Fish Market to kill those sea birds ?? They too annoyed to ask for food all the time :D

Is there a standard place to stick it on?

Can I ask if the sticker is transparent?? Or is it just a normal one?? By the way, where you guys reckon is the best place to stick it~!?? :D

You'd be fine if you had said "220 on the way home from Sydney via the Stuart Highway in the Nothern territory where there are no speed limits" In know that's what you meant. Cheers gc ← Maybe this is a stupid question, doesn't the police need evidence to charge people?? We just say something in the forum, is this still an offence??? What if I say I went 300km/hr last night which is impossible for a Stivo, , can the police still can charge me??? <_<
