  1. Also does anyone notice a weird metallic sound (almost like rattling) around 3-3.5K...after 3.5K it seems to become more smooth........but around the 3.5K mark it sounds a bit wrong.

    dude i have a weird noise since i've installed my CAI also!

    it doesnt appear from start-up , only after the car is warm

    And in my case i would describe it as a ticking noise rather then rattling. It's not audible form outside the car and the speed of the ticking increases if u rev slightly..

    any similarities??

    does it sound like its choking?

    block off your vacum hose, then ull have this nice humming sound.. very loud also :)

  2. ........................... would of been $250 but didnt need to change spark plugs.

    :blink:

    Stivo plugs only get changed every 100,000klms, :unsure:p.s. hasn't this topic been covered before?

    yeah thats what the mechanic told me.. i thought they were standard spark plugs coz i read ppl change to denso and ngk.

    Our corollas have platnums right?

  3. Hey all,

    About to book my rolla for its 40kms service and just got quoted that it'll cost around $460. :angry:

    Are they kidding me or what?

    Anyone else paid this much for their 40kms service???

    yeah thats how much toyota like to rip u off.. i got quoted 2 places.. one 480 .. the other 550

    i brought it to my own toyota mechanic.. $200 major service. would of been $250 but didnt need to change spark plugs.

    :blink:

  4. haha soz i cant get any fotos up my camera frikken brokeee.. ill borrow a mates one tomorow

    nah i never push the car cold just common sense lol

    i fixed the erratic idle problem by puttin in 98 octane fuel.. ill try next tank with 95 to see if it idles alrite so i can save a lil money lol.. also the intake hiss on idle seems to have quieted down a lil..

    another question.. is there much of an advantage of runnin a cold air pipe to the sri?? the majority of air would still be coming from the engine bay wouldnt it?? has anyone tried routing a cold air pipe to the front grille?? i think that could be my next experiment hahaha

    yeah i had a pipe breathing from the front bumper up to the SR.. its still wasnt the best as there wasnt a heatshield to cover the pod...

  5. Gotta agree with everyone's comment so far as this rolla looks hot!

    Simple yet classy just like Daz has mentioned.

    Love the face-lift grille...I wonder if we can get that for ours :unsure:

    No this grille is only for the pre facelifted model. The facelifted has the grille and frontbumper in one piece so it's not that simple to change the grille on those.

    Yeah looks pretty awesome, your pre-facelift models had those wicked headlights you got on, unlike our big bugg eye ones. CAI with high petrol prices? :) not a good move. Infact I wouldnt get one unless i needed it for track use. For a daily driver, youre wasting more fuel. For track or strip, sure no probs.

    Ok? I didn't know that it was going to drink more fuel with a CAI. No i certainly don't wanna raise my fuelbill more.

    Nice car looks good, is the interior abit different as well?

    Na, i think it's the same interiour.

    yeah your fuel will drop a huge amount.

    i used to b able to get 600-620.. now 540-550 if lucky <_<
