2003 sportivo ... 79 k on the clock

go for a sportivo :) http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...x=mode+matchany 05 model - 14500 ks on dash - 20grand ....

has anyone used the normal E10 (93 octane) in their sportivo ..... if you have, how did it affect performance / mileage? will it bugger up our engine?

I’m not trying to be a pessimist and don’t get me wrong i think sunroof's are great but isn’t that simply a ridiculous waste of cash ... I mean 2 grand..... That’s seems to be quite allot to spend on a sunroof that won’t really increase the resale value of the car at all....

2003 Corolla Sportivo 73500 ks had it since August 2006 - bought it on 49 k going strong!

i just went downstairs to the car to have a look / check i think the clutch and its height etc is fine ... the problem seems to be more in the gearbox (possibly just my shifting) it seems that when im shifting from 1st to 2nd im pushing way to far to he left ... as if im shifting into the reverse gear but shifting down offcourse (not upwards)(remember its a sportivo so reverse is next to 1st) it just seems that the resistance that used to be present between reverse and 1st / 2nd area has dissipated a little bit ... or maybe its just me pushing to hard to the left instead of maintaining my 1st to 2nd down the 'side wall' .... im not sure i think alot of times things like this are in my head... or maybe my 2nd gear syncro is going?

im having the exact same problem (lift wil engage 50% of the time from 1st to 2nd shifts....) ill attempt to do the same procedure ... how many times did u tighten and loosen the bolts?

Are they the same??? Do both airboxs have those small pipes (vaccum's) for the VSV etc... they plug into the top and bottom parts of the airbox?

what exactly do the 'blue thingy' and 'brown thing' (i think u refer to them as the VSV ....) do - also what do the vaccum lines that come out of the stock airbox do .. if u block them off when u put the cai in ... what happens when u take the cai out ... are they necessary???

The 2 vaccum lines (tiny in diamter) that plug into the top and bottom of the corolla airbox - are they needed????? the 2 tiny platic pieces that they plug into snapped off when removing the airbox (tried superglueing them back on.... doesnt work) so i have just blocked the ends up ... car drives 100% normally though there is a faint whilstly murmor sound when u have the windows open but with windows closed nothing is evident what do these vaccum things do (and the strange clip on thing that has the brown ends that clip into each other ... [this clips on the front of the airbox] the pipes/vaccums come from there...... can anyone help?
