  1. http://jp-carparts.com/toyota/partlist.php?maker=toyota&type=153150&cartype=8&fig=8715 would this help you out? Edit: That's know as the climate control unit, anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
  2. Big updates coming soon! Here's some of the most recent photos of how she sits after a quick wash.
  3. Have you checked the condition of the lift bolts by any chance?
  4. So I finally found time to update this. I recently had a local smash repairer fix the damaged side skirts, rear bar, boot lid and driver side rear quarter due to the previous owner. I had also requested that only the main Toyota symbol be left and the other badges removed for a cleaner look. I also finally got the chance to install the Injen intake a few weeks ago. Car is running excellently with no significant difference in fuel economy (when not lifting everywhere) and the sound, oh boy :D. Gotta love the sound of lift with an aftermarket intake. Here are some shots from an industrial area that I was meant to have some nice DSLR pics but the camera sadly had issues so, my S5 was used. I also decided to take my car to Sydney Dragway for some fun. I had one goal, to beat the 16.1 state in various car reviews. I am still on the stock clutch so I did take it easy through the gears. After a few hiccups, stuff ups and my guard liner coming out, I did it. This was also my first time running in the drags, what an experience :) Run 1: 16.459 Run 2: 17.077 - Missed 2nd Run 3: No time Run 4: 16.208 Run 5: 16.092 I plan on doing an oil change and re-installing the guard liner this weekend. I will also be cleaning the water marks that are not going away after washes. I have recently taken the visors off as the 3M tape was past its best. Stay tuned for more updates!
  5. Ah nice man. Any intake on a Sportivo sounds good anyway haha.
  6. Ah nice. Best of luck man. I have one minor leak that I need to source out.
  7. Nice Sportivo man. Looks really neat. What CAI did you get?
  8. Nice Sportivo man! I recently had a leaky water pump after buying my car (buyer advised me beforehand about the pump needing replacement).
  9. UPDATES! Have ordered an Injen CAI that should be coming very soon. Have also booked in my car to get the scraped side skirts and some bumper damage to be repaired. I haven't had a chance to install the bonnet protector just yet.
  10. I'm part of the Corolla Sportivo groups already :) Thanks I haven't done tunnel blasting in it yet but lift is honestly really fun.
  11. G'day TOCA, So up until recently I owned a 1998 Honda Prelude VTi-R. I bought it relatively standard other than an axle back muffler, 17x7 King Sabeth rims and a sound system. It had fairly high kms at the time at around 197000 kms but had full service history and ran great for it's age. Over time, I eventually began to mod it and did the following: Engine: - Injen Cold Air intake with Hydroshield - X-Force Stainless Steel Extractors - 2.5" Mild Steel Exhaust with 100 cell high flow cat, resonator and twin loop muffler Drivetrain: - Standard replacement clutch - Machined fly wheel Handling: - Koni Adjustable Shocks with Eibach Ground Control adjustable springs - Ultra Racing front upper strut brace Exterior: - OEM Lip Kit from new - JDM Honeycomb Grille with Prelude badge - Buddy Club P1 17x7 on Pirelli P7s - Factory style fog lights - Window Visors - Rear window roof wing Interior: - 10mm shifter extension - Spoon Duracon shift knob - DC2R gear boot modified to fit - Carbon cluster surround - Clarion single din headunit and Focal rear speakers Other: - Spoon oil cap - Painted valve cover - Carbon spark plug cover - Innovative 62A side engine mounts - Apexi AFC NEO (never wired in to tune) It was my first car but sadly a week ago I was involved in and accident and my Prelude was sadly written off due to the amount of money needed for repairs. I had the car for over a year and a half, close to two years. I had been for a car to get for my full license but I automatically leaned towards the Corolla Sportivo as a replacement. I had driven an 03 and really liked how comfy they were, the engine and the way it used it's power and of course the way it felt on the road. I was looking at a 200SX S14 but with the new P Plate rules allowing them to be legal, the prices have gone through the roof for clean examples. On the 19th of September, I purchased my 2005 Corolla Sportivo. Apart from tint, window visors and a stubby antenna, the car is pretty much standard, an excellent base for modifications. Recently I was able to get my hands on an OEM bonnet protector, split in two but it looks normal when on the car. I also got a second engine cover to be painted later on. My plans at the moment are to get some much needed low, cold air intake (Injen preferably), exhaust sometime later, Exedy HD clutch and possibly a lightened flywheel (current clutch and flywheel are excellent and have no issues), possibly new wheels if I get sick of the stock ones and maybe some other handling mods. Just to ask some questions, would anyone know the part number for the Injen CAI for an 05, part number for Exedy HD clutch, a good flywheel? Much appreciated! Thanks for reading!
  12. Hey T.O.C, I'm Squalled and I live in Western Sydney. I've recently joined the forum as I do love Toyota's. I may not own one but I honestly can't hate them. I own a 1998 Honda Prelude VTi-R which has the common mods that most people do to their Honda's. In saying this I've driven a fair few Toyota's in the last year or so. I've driven: - 1992 AE92 Hatch with a Blacktop 4AGE 20V - 2000 A112 Hatch Ascent (Auto) - 2003 Corolla Sportivo I have been very happy to drive all these cars especially the 20V and the Sportivo. Yes a Honda owner likes the 20V and 2ZZGE. In all honesty I think they feel a lot better to drive on a daily basis :) Anyway I joined the forums to ask questions to help my friend who has the Sportivo which was purchased nearly two weeks ago. She doesn't really have time for forums so I'm really here to help her and also boost my knowledge :)
