CheekySportivo

Hi Guys, So sorry I couldnt make this meet up as I ended up having to go interstate for work at very late notice. I will def be there for the next one B) Hope to see some pics of the day/night soon :D Cheers, Age :)

Blue Stivo aka Dylan & KT haha - I am definitely up for the meet up in Hurstville. I should be ok for anytime so whatever suits you guys best as well as the best meet up location in Hurstville. It will be cool to then cruise down to Panthers together :D

Looking forward to the meet up and cruise guys! :D

Hi Guys, Not a huge issue here but was just wondering if any other 05 Sportivo owners were experiencing this same problem...... The basic scenario is that I am havving difficulty shifting into 1st gear ONLY when I am at a crawling driving speed i.e. stuck in traffic speed. If im in neutral and try to go into 1st gear it is almost like im crunching my poor brand new gear box. :( I shouldnt have to force the shift into 1st gear like that. <_< My foot is way down on the clutch and im gently pushing the gear shift lever into its 1st gear placing. If I am at a complete stand still I shift into 1st gear with absolute ease. So my sticky 1st gear is only happening if the car is moving in a slow motion. Any thoughts or feedback would be great. :D Cheers

Thanks for clarification WeiWei! :D

Sorry to sound dumb but just wanting to confirm - CES stands for Custom Exhaust System yeah?

Your booty is looking hot to trot! :P Nice work Azza B)

Hey Bill, I'll take 1x small sticker. Not sure on the colour though. Either white or silver. Im even thinking red to match my Sportivo badge. But if you can add me to your list that would be great! B) Cheers :D

Thanks for the info guys :) Im hoping some of the good ole Meguiars wax or polish will remove the bird poo staines. Everytime I was my car I put a quick detailer wax on it so I dont think it has done permament damage to the paint because of the protective coating I have. Cheers :D

Hi Guys, I hadnt washed my stivo for about 3 weeks and just gave it a major clean and detail over the weekend yet I noticed that the bird droppings that I had on the bonnet are still visible with its outer traces noticable. With my Stivo being black and all I know it does make it harder to clean but was wondering of anyone else has experienced this with their cars ????? Is it just a case that the bonnet needs a polish or wax to remove these small stains? Cheers

Im with Blue_Stivo.....where do I sign! :D Very sleek indeed

hey teknoman, i too noticed my new 05 sportivo had a couple of bubbles in the tinting but with very little fuss it iss getting fixed up next week. my tinting came with a lifetime guarantee so i would check out what sort of warranty your tinting comes with. i guess it might be dependant if you got the tinting done through the dealer or on your own :)

Black 05 Sportivo, lowered with chrome bling bling wheels spotted approx 2pm @ Indoor Central Kent rd, Mascot. Just wondering if it was anyone from here? :P

Roger that 10-four over..... Viper has the lead

thanks heaps craig :D just a another quickie though, im just checking out the mothers site and it looks like there are two types of interior cleaners. one is a carpet and upholestry cleaner (clear spray bottle), the other is a protectant in a red spray bottle. they are both described as being used for vinyl etc which one do u use?

Thanks for the clarification Blue_Stivo ;)

I knew you would come up with the goods Craig :D I will look out for the red bottles then! I just didnt want to put something harsh on either the leather or vinyl dash but with your show and shine results im sure it will come up with the goods. So is there a seperate cleaner and a conditioner or is it an all in one solution?

Don't know the specs of the TRD one but OEM is good enough, even for the odd track use. ← OEM ???

Sounds great so count me in evl_50a :D

thanks for the advice mick. ;) i will do a complete oil change just to be safe asap. do u guys know if its worth getting a trd oil filter or is the standard toyota geniune oil filter just as good ?

27 here :D

thanks for the advice craig. are you suggesting i change the oil asap? im not ruining anything am i? im still in shock as i was so under the impression that the oil was changed. so what the F did they do then? check the brakes, vacuum my floor mats?

how sneaky!!!!!!!!! here i am thinking my oil is changed. its not a bad thing though that the oil hasnt been changed at 1000kms is it? im now up to 2800 kms.

so are you guys saying that when the 1,000km service is performed, they do not change the oil? i was under the impression that the oil is changed and the vehicle is checked for inspection?

Hi Guys, I am very interested in the catch up and lil cruise. Im located down south and quite close to the King Georges road entry to the M5 so if anyone is out this way we can roll in together :P BTW - What date are we looking at ?
