Hey man, Welcome to the club :D Sportivo's are great little cars, but they have had a few issues. That being said i think the fact that its a mad sports car with lift outweigh these issues. Every car has em... Anyway im not being a nazi, just pointing you to your answers: :P There's a HUGE thread that lists and discusses all the issues that have arose with the sportivos: SPORTIVO ISSUES and if you go to the top of the corolla page, you'll see a thread called "PREVIOUSLY COVERED TOPICS" or something.. have a look in there.. its a good rundown of the more important information on this site, as well as what to buy and where to buy it when it comes to modding :D .. Where are you from? We have monthly meets in most capital cities, so you'll have to come along one day. .. to check the car on REVS, go to the REVS website... and follow their steps... Enjoy your stay here :) Cheers, Tom
