Hard to find a nice un thrasshed teg. Well unless you pay top $$.

k's on the clock?

CM31FT spotted - Henry Lawson drive Peakhurst this arvo!

CAR IS ALL WAYS CLEAN !

lol, Is she still your girlfriend?

Hi, I own a 03 corolla it has 70k on the clock which im quite happy with

i just started travelling 650 K's a week. So it looks like il clock up 30,000 a year!

when does a corolla engine start to deteriate? 150, 170 ?

DO you plan on keeping it serviced? If so the sky is the limit. No reason why you cant get 300k out of a corolla if not more. CAI's will reduce your engine life as the allow more dust ect into the combustion chamber by nature even with a good filter. 150k and the engine is only just getting worn in :P

"CAI's will reduce your engine life as the allow more dust ect into the combustion chamber by nature even with a good filter."

I am keen to find out how true this line is? anyone got more info

I see that car too! That's near the Tip-Top factory in Chullora aye? haha

Yep thats the one Kenneth. Spotted Silverwater black TRD Aurion TRD F1 and yesterday at Bexley a white ZRE Levin lowered with rims

plates were FL45SH i think,and looked it too.

I seen flash this morning on victoria road gladesville. I am sure it was black like 2 months ago, Looks clean in white!

Spotted yeh-sik again today at around lunch at the shops in boronia park.............nice reverse on the main road into the parking spot, i was in the van eating lunch.lol

HAHAAHAHAHA I forgot about that. That was a parking spot I just had to get!!

The chicken shop rocks there :)

Spotted yeh-sik today around homebush at 330!

like wise.. was rolling couldnt speak much but yeah its got king lows fyi.

mate as far as performance mods go, if you want bang for buck consider, exhaust, cai and ported headers. the 3 work together as a good combination.

lets face it. you will never ever ever make your corolla real wheel drive, if you do your an idiot, buy a supra or something ffs.

finally, if you want to rice it up, consider front grills, eyelids and lowering. thats some bang for buck stuff.

ooh... short shifters are pretty cool and well rated among users.

if i had the cash thats everything i would look at

cheers and happy front wheel driving

haha thanks heaps, you've helped alot. What if i like want the exact shape of my corolla to be rwd? is it possible? or you just don't think it's practicle? =P

forget the rwd thing. It will never happen.

If its not lowered yet, drop that thing ! Leave those old springs for a rav4!

It gets addictive... my short fuse with Sydney drivers makes me do it :)

Check out the traders section mate as there is all the info you need. here's a link to the Sportivo package of CAI,headers and catback exhaust from CES.

From experience how much gain in KW would this package produce ATW?

Also from standard would the exhaust be loud. Like annoying on a free way drive. Does that make sence

PS: Thanks for the kings, stivo looks and feels great. Lucky it JUST fits down my drive way :)

You have just reminded me. I got the same prob. Hope someone has a permanent fix.

I was thinking WD40??

Not sure where you got that number from. Carsales.com could be wrong.

Love the story and the plates, keep it up.

Forget the cannon. Keep it sleeper, just add hubcaps :)

CrOaTiA all the way.......

^^^ dito :)

Does anyone reakon a short shifter will change the notchy-ness of my tranmission? Just got some Nulon G-70 gear conditioners from K-Mart. Cost me like $9.50 per bottle. Got 2. Putting both suckers in tomorrow morning. See how they fair after. Muahahahahaha .........................

It says its for manual gear box and diff treatment. Also OK for LSD.

Will there be a GB for short shifters?

dont worry about notchy-ness. thats how they are... You aint driving a wr exel dude :)

Do the standards, cai and kings! otherwise save for something esle (rs6) :)

I was lucky in the end; he came into work today and gave insurance details and claim number.

=O looks like its been scrapped LOL all the way from front to the back ouch

not that bad but, lols seen worse

(sisters s15, LOL first week she got it - parked outside commonwealth in homebush, came back and it was like this HAHAHAHAHAHA dumb fk. dw LOL its all fixed now)

thats shocking.... makes my damage look small time.

But when you take care at shopping centres or any car park and this **** happens its really frustrating. Makes me want to buy another run-around!

Parked out side my work block. how much damage do you think?

Ute collected mirror and back. Lucky warehouse staff saw the mofo drive off. see images

Very f' ****** off !!

Love the stories.

It makes me laugh when tools driving any 4 pot with an exhaust think their car is quick.

I love when some #### box pulls up at the red light. His little eBay subwoofer rattling the number plates, revving the down pipe exhaust, hat backwards, P plate cut out (should I keep going)

Anyway best part of it is beating him without hitting lift. So much fun!

Thanks Guys,

Clutch adjustment and no worry regarding the ticking.

Hey All,

Recently picked up a corolla sportivo 03 model. I Wasnt looking for one due to my honda obsession until taking the sportivo for a test drive. Was impressed! With 35,000 on the clock I didnt think their could be any drama's.

Reading over some posts I noticed some issues my car could have.

1. Noticed the spotivo does not want to shift into 2nd from 1st at higher RPM . Unless when the rpm drops I engage the cluch jerking the whole car. This cant be good! When I change gears shifting it feels like I touch the cogs directly with the gearstick, I am sure the clutch is in to the floor!

2. Park it and walk away I hear a ticking noice 10m away. Any one know what it is?

I did look over this forum and found heaps of members saying different things to these probs. Anyone got firm answers without seeing the car.

Thanks

SIK

PS: Anyone know the cost of short shifter, feels like driving a bus.
