seitlich

looks good

well done

rear sway sounds good

its about time i downgrade my subwoofer and reclaim some of my bootspace anyways

shopping is no longer limited to a box of migoreng and pepsi

i probably wont go for the angel eyes or leds

i park my car everywhere so id rather it look plain as possible in the outside

as for the gps

i agree !!! i have that on my iphone already

buy yourself a plane ticket and take a holiday from your missus...... whiiiiped

haha yeah sounds good in theory, I have mo idea putting that into practice though.

if i was in your shoes id go.

2nd hand CAI and filter - $300-$330 approx

rear sway (whiteline) $118 - from bursons

Front strut (whiteline) $118 - from bursons

some good engine oil $70-100 (royal purple or something)

New gearbox oil $30-50 ? (castrol syntrax etc)

2007-2008 toyota (Rav 4, corolla, landcruiser, hilux) headunit with MP3 input and bluetooth and looks 1 million times better than stock sportivo headunit, simple plug and play swap- $300 ( i wouldnt pay more than that)

thats around $1000 and gives you a range of benefits including the bluetooth hands free which is great IMO

thanks jaderd,

wow 2nd CAI is still that much??

ill start checking bursons (this is the first time i have heard of them)

as for the oil etc.. i get the standard toyota stuff on my service - ill ask my mechanic to use that next time and ill see if i can tell the difference

also my bad .. my sound system is good enough as it is, i have a completed alpine system already

besides im getting old already i hardly trun my volum up past 75% nowadays haha

any other ideas?

how much is it to tint my windows??

cheers

Hey all,

The wife has finally approved a budget of $1000 to spend on my 04 prefacelift sportivo.

My car is stock except for super low springs.

I need your help, whats your thoughts on the best combo of parts that can I get as this is probably the last time in my life that I can spend this kind of $$ on my car. (not including insurance)

Is this enough for a CAI and Strut bars???

Apologies for my lack of price knowledge.

cheers

Spotted Black Sportivo with bronze rims on hume highway warwick farm at around 2ish going towards liverpool.....also a Black Pre Facelift Sportivo spotted at the Woodcroft shops car park at around 5ish with the plates [TH30RY] or something...lowered on stock rims... = )

Hey all,

Just thought Id intro myself, I joined a while back now I think since my echo days.

Anyways i used to own a toyota echo 3 years ago i traded that in for 2004 tivo last year.

I havent done much to it but im thinking of finally making "some" changes

hmm...what else should go in an intro

bullet points is always good so here goes

*i want to learn to double clutch in my tivo

*i work for an FMCG company in australia "hint: we do both drinks and confectionery"

*Surveys depresses me because im now in the 26-30 bracket hahaha

*my car is black

*i was prescribed cocaine when i was 12

*i tuck my shirt in my shorts

(guess which one is not true)

here are some pix of may car while i was installing my car sound system with my bro

i wonder if anyone will reply to this post this morning

anyways its good to be finally active

gday,

just a quick background on my car. my first car was a hand me down auto mazda 323 85 model, it suddenly just dies one hot sydney afternoon. needed a car straight away that was cheap on insurance and petrol (NRMA full comp at $800 and premium unleaded full tank every two weeks at around$40) well the echo pretty much sold itself. i was going to buy a peugeot 206 but decided to save my money for the time being and settle for this new car.

i bought the 3door manual 2004 echo. (easy to drive learnt how to drive manual in just over a day). Has more power than my old car but ofcourse i got used to it even at 6000rpm with vvti kicking in. installed 3inch exhaust for low end power, 17inch 195/45 rims to stop the boat motion at corners. i will lower this car soon using king springs. check it out

the reason i joined this forum is to get ideas on where i should go next. i dont want to spend too much money as i only use this car as a go between before i buy my next car in 2yrs time.

cheers
