Denz-Sportivo

nice ride... they were one of my choice's for a family car but went corolla sportivo instead.... enjoy

spotted i think kaze's old sportivo in williamstown next to tikis cafe. looks damn fine...

very nice tivo!!!

i'm guessing not too close to the pod filter as this will cause way too much air hitting the maf sensor resulting in incorrect air sensing. if you have a look at some of the cai or sri it's kind of closer to the throttle body.

ok true sounds good. i am guessing your running some kind of K&N panel filter yea ? I just had a more detailed look then and it looks like it could be a good short term fix. What is the cheapest cai kit there like $250 300 yea ? Thanks by the way Dave well i still got the stock panel filter, but i definately recommend getting a better flowing panel filter which will still cost over $100 FOR k&N BRAND

if you have a closer look at the snorkel it goes narrower, it does make it a little louder then stock when you have the cold air feed theres no real huge gain but you can feel the difference from the stock snorkel

just remove the snorkel and get a flexi pipe from autobarn, run it down to the fog lights cheap and very effective,

the rear skirt is looking nice. definately different.. keep up the work.............whats next in line?

Definately post some pics up when you get it? Nice job Evo..

I drive a 2005 sportivo and think it's a really great care. Bought it cause i had a baby boy so was loooking for a family car plus power so opted for the sportivo. very happy with it. in regards to sportivo and other models theres not much difference mainly the engine is different. and add bodykit on the stivo. but again it's what your most happy with.....

I also got 20% tint on my car. they are not too dark during the day and at night they are pretty dark if you want privacy. Had it on for more than 3 years, no problem with the police. as you can see on the picture the back looks darker than the front windows.

There's Spectre performance from the US www.spectreperformance.com They sell at autobarn, not sure if they sell at any other place. You can buy the parts seperately if you want a cai or sri. Pretty good and cheap as well, i bought some parts to make a sri and it was pretty good. cost me all up about $100 using a Drift pod filter

thanks for the help guys. Thought there would be a problem with the tyres or something. Cheers Denz

Hey everybody, Just had a question for the members who drive 05 sportivo's, when you are on the freeway doing 100km, where are your revs sitting? Mine are between 3000rpm to 3500rpm, and it is quite loud to be honest. Is this normal or mine running hi revs? Could it be my tires that are doing this? Any advice or feedback would be great. Thanks Denz

yeah i did all those things disconnected the batt a few times a drive it like i always do it seems normal only when i rev up to the rpm range that it happens ill maybe try reset it again then see what happens that for the help guys cheers Denz

Got a little problem with my Stivo after installing my sri i noticed a little lag in the rev range between 4500 - 5500 rpms it was fine when i had the stock box but after installing the sri it started happening does this happen to any1 with a cai or sri? should i reset the ecu or is it the sri? cheers Denz

at autobarn in hoppers crossing sell custom intake pipes its called spectre performance they sell the pipes separately and have one especially made for the maf sensor so you can custom biuld it check out their website www.spectreperformance.com

thought i would intro myself becuz i didnt know about this noob thread and been on here for a few months now so anyways name is dennis but can call me Denz live in melb the werribee area i drive a 05 Blue Corolla Sportivo, i think it was the last one that was ever made cuz i had to wait for it to be biult in japan and it was the end of the year of the facelift models no mods done yet becuz i have a son and saving money for a house. how i envy some of the guys on this forum who have time and money to mod your cars. but me in the other hand =FAMILY=HOUSE onli got a cold air feed from the fog lights into the airbox. quite surprised in the extra little bit of torque you get out of doing this little DIY job and also some DIY eyelids as well and badges all taken off except for toyota and corolla ones (SLEEPER!!!!) thats it for now cheers Denz....

you could be right but would they have the parts for the air flow sensor
