  1. HI THERE GUYS THE COROLLS HAS GOT A FEW KS UNDER ITS BELT NOW U . NOW I SPOKE TO THE RTA AND THEY SAID IT FINE TO PUT THE 3SGTE IN THE COROLLA FROM 01 TO 05 AS YOU CAN USE THE ENGINE OUT OF IMPORTED CARDINA , SO JUST THINKING ABOUT MAYBE A TRANSPLANT AND JUST WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE 6 SPEED FROM THE 2ZZGE , WOULD LIKE YOU INPUT CHEERS JASON :yahoo:

  2. hi there guys thats for the nice comments yes there 18x7 csa wheels .. very well made and its on kings springs superlows with koni .. had coil over before .and found better car balance with the koni .. cheers jason

  3. I own a 2001 Toyota Corolla Runx 1800cc 2ZZ-GE engine w/ the 6-speed gearbox and I am thinking about installing both the TRD radiator pressure cap and the TRD thermostat, however I would like to hear from people who have both of these products installed if they ever had any problems with their radiators "springing a leak" shortly after these products were installed due to the increased pressure that the system will be under due to the higher-pressure radiator cap.

    Just for analytical purposes, I think, unless I am proven otherwise that these upgrades will give the engine a greater temperature band to run in without getting unnessarily hot since the standard pressure cap operates at 88kPa which means that the water in the system will boil out at 96 degress Celsius whereas, with the new cap its rating is 127 kPa with a corresponding boiling temperature of 106 degreres Celsius, also the new thermostat opens at 71 degrees Celsius therefore, the operating range of my engine can be anywhere between 71 - 106 degrees Celsius with the cooling fans cutting in at 93 degrees Celsius as they normally do, however, my only concern with this upgrade is the issue I think there might be with the radiator.

    Can anyone share their thoughts and experiences. Thanks

    hey there i have both in my car as well as hondata gasket and it run lots cool and more efficent been in there for about 40000 km and had no probems with it all cheers jason

  4. hey there you can run 18s if you like just as long as it dosent exceed no more then 15mm of the total diameter of you wheel

    eg 195 55 16 sportivo stck wheel = 620 mm

    215 35 18 = 607 mm so it just with in the 15 mm rule or

    215 35 19 = 633 which is still legal as well you just cant exceed the total width by 25 mm or it can be illegal also

    hope this can help you out cheers jason

  5. hi there my answer to your problem would be to get a N/A water /methanol injection kit would help you a lot cheers jason

    Currently under development here in Brisbane :rolleyes: B)

    that great silerbullit i have have had one for a few months now and works great , along with a hondata gasket and trd thermo and cia , works very well and all i have to do now is wait for my supercharger from the usa to arive and ill be very happy :D

  6. hi there guys i have got a gizzmo dual stage shift light , i got it hooked up to day and i when to toyota dealer ship and they told me to hook the rpm wire up to the tacho which is pin 19 on the one that plugs in to you dash cluster , where have you guy got your hooked up too thanks for your help jason

  7. hey there first not good to see a corolla in a crash but it dose happen hey .. to me dosent look like a 80k crash to me as i hit a kangaroo at 80 not so long as go .. and our airbags didnt go off ether .. just depends on the impact .. but as far as im aware that it should go off from any speed over 35 kph .. hope this mite help you out cheers buzzie

  8. I agree with Azza, don't waste time and take the car back to your dealer. The first 2000 kms you need to take it easy running in the motor.

    hi there mate i have had the same thing its ok nothing wrong with your car .. when you car is underload ie light or air con the idle will drop.. and this was our problem .. they just bumped the idle up a 100 rpm prolbem solved cheers jason and enjoy your new sportivo .. :D

  9. hey there rollagrl .. i dont have any oil conusnption problem .. but from experts from cars that it depends on your car .. we run castrol full synthetic oil 0w 40 and far as im awear that is the only oil i would be useing and its not cheap .. we run our hillclimb cars on mobil one and had oil consumption problem and change to castrol and it went .. so we have run the sprotivo on it havd stay full all the time and never moves and yes i drive my car hard .. hope this can help u out cheers jason

  10. hi there guys just to add something a little differnt to this topic. i went to my dealer .. about the gearbox .had a look at the travel and fixed it .. but they also said they dumped the gear box oil and it had **** it self .. and said if its driven hard the oil needs to be replaced ever 30ks not 60 and not to uses synthetic oil as they have been add to the problem .. well let me no what u guys think hey .. but the cars drivin like a dream now very happy :lol:

  11. Yep have check with my insurance and they said no prob.  :) 

    1zz-fe is right, with 18" u might loose some confort over 17" due to lower profile tyres. But i don't mind, because i have a fat *****, so it is still comfortable for me :D  :D

    So netz go for 18", man.

    hey there guys i have 18s on our car and havent lost any performance fromour car . then its all in the way u set your suspension up .. the rolling diameter hasnt changed .. if anything it hooks up a bit quicker because of the stiffer wall side .. hey this is just my opinion cheers :D and happy rolling
