I think he's tossing up between 180SX or Evo 8 at the moment. Turbo FTMFW!?!? tell him to go evo 8 ftw!!! i would love a evo 8 mr!! was suppose to get that but no enough cash =( so that was what you guys were up to! lol... looked like some kind of a gathering when I drove by! your ride looks sweet-***** steve! =D so it WAS you lols my mate was like is that the guy u sold the rims to!!? then im like nah man his got stockies on atm wouldent be him but then i thought about it and went maybe... lols thanks man what happen to the pc stockies? lol the pc stockies are still around, will put them on again soon. was just looking for a different look! you're one of the few west-siders on this forum hey?

for awhile there I thought some those were a bunch of diecast sportivos. when are those new rims making their debut alex??

so that was what you guys were up to! lol... looked like some kind of a gathering when I drove by! your ride looks sweet-***** steve! =D

I know your post was ages ago. anyways, I had one of those fins on my rolla before, it was made of flexible plastic so it would flex around the base of the antenna, worked fine! but I could get a proper radio signal with it on, which was why I took it off after a year.

wouldn't have thought it was you guni. saw your ride with stockies and didn't think twice, until you revved up in first gear from the lights lol.. and i thought it was either someone saying hi, or someone really didn't like me... lol... what happened to the gmaxs? you added side indicators? No wonder it looked familiar .... so............ familiar ...... Still nice ... gmax in the shed getting some holidays atm .... how are you man ?? lol the gmax's must have been put thru alot, hence the holiday.. what's the updates on your ride?

hey steve! was about to get you to post some pics of your new ride! nice bumping into you and your sweet ride! lmk when you get black rims, we'll be like twins! lol..

Pop over to Ward-While motors at the corner of elgar and whitehorse rd. I brought my sportivo there, the guy there Graham knows what he's doing.

hey man! yea it used to be egene's, but i wonder which part of it reminds you that it's egene? just curious lol.. well i suppose the sway bar is the next thing on the list, seeing that i already got the front strut. and probably after that powder coating my stock rims. love how it looks on yours man!

Most recent pics of my ride! Enjoy!

what an awesome first meet for me! would definitely be looking forward to meets like this in the future! thanks Alex for organizing, Team White FTW!

wow nice looking rims. would've been interested in them as well but guess i was too late. i'm running 17X7 rims on mine as well, but your tyres look 'thicker'. guessing mine should be low profile tyres then. what are the dimensions of your tyres?

i remember driving one night last year, it's probably the same night you're talking about. I was so worried my CAI would suck in water i drove at like 5 km/h. When i got home i put my hand in and it felt like it was drenched I was worried sick. Gave it a quick wipe and turned the engine on to let it probably 'burn' and exhale the water that went in lol. Thank goodness nothing happened!

that's odd, i watched as my mechanic filled up my gearbox and he finished 2 bottles and was still going, probably after another quarter of a bottle more, then it started to overflow. i reckon for yours it probably wasn't fully emptied before the new oil was put in. since i got my sportivo, it never felt comfortable going into 1st gear right away. I was told to get into 2nd or any other gear when I wanted to go into 1st or reverse, I found that it smoothened it out heaps, and I didn't get the crunch from switching into reverse anymore. apparently this was done to 'baby' older alfa romeo gearboxes that always broke (i think they still do quite regularly, and helped lengthen their life. Give it a go, and let us know how it goes!

How much and from where? My 3 bottle of lightweight shockproof cost me about 30 ++ each. Can't remember now. it cost about the same as the shockproof, about 103 all up. i bought them from burson autoparts in sunshine. watch out if you're going to get it from the burson branch in west melbourne, there's this idiot who didn't know that there was a type of redline oil called mt90, yet didn't want to admit it, telling me there was no such thing. he was only convinced after he rang his supplier. and he tried to make me buy a 4 litre bottle of lightweight shockproof, telling me it was the mt90, because they didn't have the mt90 in stock, while what i asked for was three 1 litre bottles of mt90, cause that was all I needed. like how stupid can this guy get? i was pretty ticked off and was like: screw it. i left and rang up the sunshine branch, took a drive there 2 hrs later and all done.

just put in 2 and a quarter bottles of mt90 a few weeks ago. costs fairly more compared to others, but the shifting was just so smooth! highly recommended!

white Stallions FTW!!

Yeh it's definately aaronsu's stivo. I checked out the members rides section and i confirmed it :P yeap, that's me alright! it was good meeting mario on thursday at super cheap auto, when i was looking for gearbox oil. are we the only white stivo's in melbourne kolourhero??

hey guys, i finally got my new polyurethane hangers mounted. it felt good when the car was on the hoist cause there was a lot less play compared to the floppy stock ones, though it was quite a pain putting them on. the thing is, the rattling is back, and its hitting the left heatshield again, but this time it happens only when the engine idles at 800-900 rpm, as well as when it hits around 3600-4000 rpm, probably something to do with the resonant frequency. but anyways, what can I do to get rid of it?? it's starting to get really irritating!

nah i wasn't there, my mate was there and I heard what happened to your stivo, how's it doing now?? hope all's well! That's my mate, his car is running - B16b head with B18c block, Buddyclub 316 degree camshaft, TODA ITB, clutch and flywheel and HEAPS ................. Roughly around 130 - 140 kw at the wheel, but his car only weight 800kg. Things like that I can't remember all, and that's a real project car easy to kick sportivo. I wish i could build one of that ~~~~ the concerto was dynoed last week at 120kW atw, not 130-140. were you the one with the black sportivo?? Yes ...... were you there as well ? Are you the one who had your Buddy Club seat install las week at ward and while ?

Hey guys, Had my CES exhaust system put on a couple of months back, and somehow it was mounted too close to the left heatshield, resulting in rattling everytime i take a right corner. I ended up zip-tying the right rubber mount to 'pull' the whole exhaust a bit to the right, it helped a bit, but I still get the occasional rattle when i corner hard. Is there any thing I can do to get rid of the rattling completely? Or can I send it to an exhaust shop and would they be able to help me out? Regards.

where do I get one of those TRD badges that mount on the Corolla Sportivo aftermarket grille? Cheers
