  1. I took my 03 sportivo to Toyota for the 80k service (478 **** dollars) and the MIL was on and they told me I needed a new o2 sensor - another $410 plus fitting but there was no stock. I told them not to do a **** thing with it and I got another o2 sensor from Autobarn for $110. Now the piece of **** is running in a limp mode - I bought a ELMScan 327 but am having problems clearing the code (it doesnt appear to have logged a code). Is there a quick way of resetting the ECU?

  2. GGG...

    I think they're king springs - not 100% sure though... I had the dudes at Keith4Wheels do the wheels and lowering.. As for the ride, you can notice it a bit, but I wouldnt say that it's really bad... I live on the southside and the roads are fukn crap and I'd say you'd feel the bumps probably around 15% more, but the improvement it made to handling is excellent. I'd recommend it to anyone, heaps less understeer!!! Damn front wheel drives

  3. good stuff guys

    both hot looking rides.

    at least theres still people on this site that appreciate the whole stivo deal.

    and not just selling up and moving on lol :D

    Damn your right eddy... seeing thost pictures (& they do look impressive guys - well done) I regret trading my stivo. What was I thinking.... It's time i should right the wrong....

    Selling 1 slighly used metalic blue RX8, will be happy to do a direct swap for sportivo (and no I am not talking about you bill)..... Any takers... Anyone :P :P :D :D :blink::blink: :P :D

    But seriously though I probably would not have traded the stivo if Toyota Australia had shown a little more loyalty to their car and customers. Best bang for your buck in my mind still, just a pity I had to pay for my own clutch to be able to use it, not to mention the Dash that creaked/groaned/rattled & vibrated even over the top of my radio. She and I divorced out of frustration not because I did not love her no more!

    Still can't beat that lift experience though

    Hah! I traded my series4 rx7 in on my sportivo 14 months ago, it's saved me truckloads in fuel but I really do miss the performance of the rotor!!

  4. I'm running Koya 18x7.5's on my sportivo with 225/35's.. I've noticed no difference in performance, I worked out the rolling diameter to be different by a bit over 3cm, so there's bugger all in it. I also had it lowered 4cm. My insurance is with RACQ and it was like $800/year (I'm 25). I dont have any problems with turning circles or anything like that
