People seem to be getting E10 petrol and V-Power Racing confused.
Both use ethanol, however one is 93 rated, and the other 100 rated.
Personally I only use Shell 100 Ron because of the nice little balls inside bouncing around when your filling the tank
Oh and it seems much more responsive
I wouldnt put E10. I rather go up higher RON then trying E10. Heard many bad words already...hehe

Mine was a slightly hail damaged one which was brand new (had 60km on the ODO). It was on offer for $25,000. The usual brand new price was about $31,990. We offered 24k (drive away) flat and Lander Toyota accepted. They had quite a few brand new cars with slight hail damage from the recent hail storm on offer that weekend, all probably got sold. So yes, we did get a considerable amount of discount.
If I had a choice, I would have gotten a base model or perhaps a conquest if there was no rare hail damage offer like the one we had. The Levin models are quite expensive, but the extra features are quite nice to have.
Woh, thats a pretty good price. Manual Trans?
Did u get the hail fix?
No not yet. It is very hard to notice because of the very light colour (Shimmer). I plan to put a sun-roof soon anyway so it should fix about 80% of the damage. The damage was very minor, so I probably will not get it fixed unless I have to.
Yes it is a stick shift.
Here are some pics!!! (sorry, about the angles, was only testing the camera at that time)
Its still a very nice score at that price.
Yeah by chance we went to the right place at the right time!. Would never have bought one if it was normal price. I believe the extra costs does not justify enough the extras on the ZRs.
Its just too pricey and out of my budget at the time i brought the car. So went for an SX. I'love to have the extras of ZR though although there are no performance gain.

It is possible to buy the front of the TRD bodykit for the Auris (sic) from the TRD japan catalogue website, and i know that i can get it delivered and fitted at my local Toyota showroom workshop.
But there seems to be a problem with finding the TRD side-skirts and rear spoiler and bumper, anyone know how to get a hold of pricing on these? Although if they are all priced as expensive as the front on the kit, i may consider getting a TTE kit from europe for cheaper, but have to paint it here instead of ordering it in the right colour like TRD japan lets you.
Plus i think if i want to do anything performance wise to my corolla, its going to have to be custom or universal parts, but i'll wait and see what happens when the 2ZR-FE corolla sedan gets released in america - hopefully some new performance parts will come onto the market. (Obviously though externally dependent parts will be non applicable).
Also, there is a certain Scion XB (i think) model which has the same engine as our 07/08 rolla, so perhaps some performance internals or chips have already been made....
I dunno, but im pretty keen to adjust the looks of the car now the sound system is fully awesome!
How much is the front skirt order via toyota and painted & fitted?

G'day Everyone
Got a Corolla Levin ZR 07 Hatch 6sp manual about two months ago, and I have to say that this corolla has the best feel. From the Interior Materials to the Mechanical aspect of the car, you can instantly tell Toyota's superb craftsmanship given its product offerings to its target market ($20,000 to $30,000)
Improvements from previous Generation (05) that I have noticed:
- Gearbox mechanics is top notch relative to other cars within its class
- better feel for the clutch (apparently more durable as well)
- more behaved road handling
- less road noise
- INTERIOR is awesome (especially the Optitron thingy)
- bigger interior
- better mileage (dual vvt-i) about 5 to 10% better efficiency from my fuel calculations
- better looking (in my opinion)
- all the extras of the LEVIN ZRs!:P
- Cheap to fix thus cheap to insure
- Comfy sports seats
Things I don't like about the Levin:
- ride height is quite high
- no significant product variation compared to other models (i.e. same engine, suspensions etc. mechanical aspect all the same)
- Reverse Gear is sometimes hard to engage
Overall, the car feels great. I believe the base model provides the best value. It is more spacious, has better mileage, better handling, less road noise and a big plus is the service advantage ($120 fixed for every service up to 60,000 kms or first 6 services). With this car, you can't go wrong.

Can i ask how much you got your ZR for?
-
I really dont see the point of installing HID for high beams. HIDs need time to warm up and you cant flash your high beam. Unless you are using bi-xenon blubs.
As for the interior light. I've been figuring it since day 1. Caz i wana change to the LED boards aswell

Has anyone added a TRD muffler to a ZRE152 yet? If so what does it sound like (re. drone at highway speeds??) or has anyone been even more adventurous and added a Toyota Motorsport exhaust??
Can anybody afford a Toyota Motorsport Exhaust? Certainly not cheap that's for sure...
TMS exhaust adds nothing but weight.
TOC forum has been talking about it bring performance down with its weight
-
Lol,
thats not even the original soundtrack
some mandarine overdub here
-
i've been thinking about a TRD sports muffler that cost around 300 something..but not sure if its worth it
-
if its within your budget, then i think its a good price.
-
i dont think you are gettting much deal here
you can get a accent for aroun 21k i m sure.
so with the toyotathon thing, should atlease get around that price with A/C
-
24k should be manual i suppose
spent all afternoon to 3 different dealership & best I got seem to be 26k for auto. now i can understand what people were saying about the gear stick in the middle (with big hole underneath)!
26k drive away?
its actually not bad
-
24k should be manual i suppose
-
omg
thats a waste..

It seems sydney is the most dented place

Hi all...
I just bought HB3 & H11 globes which are rated at 5000K to replace the highbeam and fog lights on my Levin ZR.
I attempted to change the bulb for the highbeams but the space to get to them is really tight! Especially the one on the passenger side! And that battery connector looks mean (will I get zapped if I touch it?)
Anyways, the fog lights look easier to change but I have tried as yet. From the manual looks like you remove the fenders and the back of the fog lights should be right there.
Just some questions tho...
1) Is there any easier way to change the highbeam bulbs? If not...
2) Would the Toyota Service Techies change the bulbs for me when I next take the car in for service?
3) Would the bulbs being at 5000K cause any issues with heat/cabling etc...
I guess if it's all impossible to do, and there's a consensus that it'll damage the wiring, I could always fob 'em off on ebay.
Cheers...
1. Not sure..just takes some patient
2. Depends. some nice guys would do it for you free of charge
3. Shouldnt be, it just reduces visibility thats all.

Ok,
I got quoted for one of these TRD exhaust for around $310au. Do you guys think its reasonable? How much would it cost to get it fitted here?
Does anyone know if there are any performance gains from the TRD exhaust and will the sound be loud and annoying?? I perfer it to me quite.
Thanks in advance
