  1. Lcd for the headunit is back lit .. and is soldered. If your a techie you can chenge the color. The bulbs for that are like the ones on your mobile phone . The a/c and clock and just normal bulb. LED bulbs are crap coz they are directional. So the light is concentrated on 1 spot rather than spead around. I put a white led in the clock and got a bright white spot. Took it out straight away
  2. The tails lights look hot ... and does anybody know any good exhaust/muffler places areound castle hill. I know there is alot on Vic Ave.. ??? but dunno where to start ?
  3. nice .... how much did that set you back ? the tails are noice too ... whered u get them >?
  4. so lemme get this right .. take everything in the pink area out .. which is the snorkle and the white box ? And then what happens to the part (pointed out by the blue arrow) Leave it as it is or direct it to a different spot ?? and if it is left there i wonder how much water can actually get in ????
  5. yeah .. i 2nd that ... would be great if you could enlighten us with pics and instructions ..
  6. I think your right ! .. the color of my car is the metallic black with paint protechtion and sometimes i look at it and it is nice ( esp after a wash) .... but the fact that i havent changed my rims ...(still stock rims and cap) looks crap.. although I just got a TOMs air filter .. so its a start
  7. ok so just lowered ? anybody else with sedans that have changed anything out of the ordinary ? What abour cat back exhaust systems ??? any recommendations for the sedan ?
  8. and there is a big difference in handelling yeah ? ./. and how much did you pay for them ??
  9. So does that mean the sportivo springs would work on the sedan?? or just buy it and go to a workshop for the install ? Or just go for a different brand ?
  10. YAY ! .. fellow sedaners .. the bloke @ castle hill toyota said that the springs they have for the hatch and not for the sedan ?? odd .. im not fussed .. i just started asking @ the dealer. And your right .. the headlights are ok and not really looking to change them. and the tail lights are aiight too .. i changed to white/blue light bulbs. Its just fustrating. I have only just got this car .. Traded in my Jeep Wrangler.. man i miss that car .. soo many aftermarket options .. coz the shape hasnt changed in years ... and miss the power too ! .. I miss my jeep (it didnt purrrr.. it roared !!! ).. but for now i will have to putt along in the stock sedan :(
  11. Red Calipers.. you painted them ??? whered you get the paint .. and yes ... the head lights are different ... no eyelids .. yet ! I know a guy that sells white brake decals .. high temp would look nice on red calipers ..
  12. Hello, I know most of you have sportivos, but just after some info (or a slap in the head). I have the face lifted ascent sedan and have now come to realise that there is sqwatdiddly accessories out there ... :( I know its fairly new and that maybe why but I can only find a few bits a pieces.. and i dont mean the common stuff that fits everycar. Ive looked around different dealers and dont know of many other shops in the Sydney area........... this is what i have found.................... "sports" suspension and springs are for hatches only Head/tail lights and eyelids.... Nope and body kits are limited and the ones they have a ok .. but not great .. and a bit pricey too .. What else can I do to my car ....... Rims are on the way ... so cant wait for that .. DOH !!!! .. should have bought a hatch !!
  13. DOH .. just missed out on the 500 im a new corolla owner and this is a fantastic setup .. Its taken me months to work out this on my car .. eg taking dash / stereo out and this forum would have told me in 10 seconds !
  14. I've called around to 2 dealers and some aftermarket places and they say that there is no short shifter for these .. only the sportivos. ?? is this right and has anybody else seen and knows where to get one ?
  15. Hello, I am a new corolla owner .. and have just found your club which is great by the way .. but i though i might add my 2 cents .. I dont know if i agree that power limiting solves the problem .. but something needs to be done. What is it i dont know .. driver education?? at schools ?? maybe ??(If i did know , I'd be a politician HA) I dont really care if a minority of P platers want to speed and kill themselves .. BUT !!! unfortunately they also affect and can kill the other people on the road. Unfortunately I've experienced this in the first hand .. with a speeding P plater.. I think the rules and laws that are decided on are there more so to protect the general public rather than the P platers themselves. And no matter what decision is made there is always going to be a part of the community that wont like it. And frankly I dont care coz if its going to protect my family and kids from foolish p platers then its a good decision. !
