i fill up once every 2 weeks Mobil 8000 (98 octane) about 50-55 litres at around 136 ish a litre which is about 75 bucks i get about 650-700 ks off that, driving HARD :) so about 38 bucks a week

me too, meguaires is fantastic :)

unfortunately its my fault for he F*kup as i only took it to the audio installer after id attempted to install it ... the auto electrician is going to give me a special rate so its actually cheaper than using the audio place i used ..... thanks for the reply :)

Thanks for the input i’m taking the car to an auto electrician tomorrow it’s strange because the deck retains settings etc when the car i switched off but everything else such as the power central locking, tacho, air con settings, clock all gets reset.... Thanks again people

bump

the very brief story i attempted with friends to install a new DVD / TV deck in my car We couldn’t do it and seemly Stuffed up a lot of things I took the car to a Car Audio Installer and they installed the deck and got it working They found the power cables going to the DECK were dead and ran a new cable to the deck giving it power Now every time you turn the car of, POWER IS GONE and i cant use the key locking etc The deck also resets, the tacho goes crazy and needles move all around before settling down after a few seconds, the clock resets etc etc Does anybody have a solution to this problem without emptying my pocket? PLEASE HELP ASAP I live in Sydneys North SHore ... so somebody close would be great

UPDATE: I could NOT manage to get the deck working after hours of trying Now things have got worse the instrument cluster (both the tacho and the Speedo) go crazy when you turn the car on af first and the clock resets every time you turn the car on and off Does anybody know of any car audio installers etc in the North Shore / Northern beaches area that are good and won’t charge an arm and a leg...? Please if anybody knows let me know ASAP as I need to have this fixed ASAP

yeh having issues getting the deck to powerup .... wondering if its got anything to do with the brown wire also ... the new deck has 2 black grouding wires .... which i have put together with the grouding wire...

its not on the diagram at all .... it should be G on that diagram but but G is the black grounding wire... http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=4060

PLEASE REPLY ASAP IM CHANING MY DECK RIGHT NOW whats the brown wire for (from the stock wiring harness) PLEASE IF ANY ONE KNOWS LET ME KNOW ASAP could it be another grounding...... ive used the stock cd pin out diagram that Northy posted up on this site.... but it doesnt mention the brown wiree

i must say the car really surprised me with fuel economy - i drive it very very hard and still get 9l per 100 ks or so (using 98 octane) its strange as when ur at 100 km/h the revs are (correct me if im wrong) about 3800rpm which is seemingly high for a car with a 6th gear .... one would think ur chugging down petrol with those kind of constant revs but the results prove this to be inaccurate

i believe it is 45km+ "There are licence suspension periods, similar to the minimum disqualification periods applied by a court, for exceeding the speed limit by more than 30 km/h (3 months), and by more than 45 km/h (6 months). If police catch you speeding by more than 45km/h over the limit you may have your licence immediately suspended and confiscated at the roadside for 6 months." http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/rulesregulations...s/speeding.html 30 km over you will loose it for 3 months, but not on the spot ... (a friend of mind got caught, took 6 months too actually loose his licence)

lol- Mahash (as the hebrew on her back says) is a police unit in israel..... must have some Kabalistic meaning to her as she is in the league with madona you know lol

I'm with AAMI (19 year old, green P Plater - insurance is about $1250 with me as primary driver) I put in a CAI, but rang them up before and asked, they said its not an issue - and added it to my policy (with AAMI they let you have 2 free modifications before you might have to pay for additional ones) it all depends on the insurer

lol a while back i got a red stivo badge for the back of car ... took it off about 5 weeks ago, lol i think i know where im putting it now :) thanks

thanks mate :) i honestly never noticed, thanks again for posting that pic

Can somebody please post some nice high quality picts of a 2005 corolla sportivo interior (centre console, seats and power window controls) as i have very recently become aware of the fact that the 05 stivo may have a diff centre console trim and slightly diff seats etc.... 2003 corolla sportivo interior below

1zz corolla will hit 185ish (maybe more, also depends on mod's etc) 2zz corolla will hit 210ish (maybe more, also depends on mod's etc) that’s from personal experience :) but only in a legal setting such as track etc:)

Hand Car Wash $15 St Ives/Terry Hills (at the back of the AMPOL petrol station - heading towards mona vale, Opposite HART)

stivos need a minimum of 95 (Premium unleaded) but some choose to use 98, (for example myself, and i get better performance and much better ks out of a tank)

try driving a cl600, 5.5 litre V12 Bi-Turbo - 368 kw 800 nm torque then u can talk about ****ting your pants. I got in - (family friends car) and put foot flat ............... sh*tttttttttttt this thing fliess, like 4.8 secs to 100 in a car that weighs like 2 T, incredible Soon hopefully ill be privileged to drive his new baby - CL 65 AMG 6litre V12 450kW and 1000 nm torque this will be an experience of a lifetime

The prob i s- if u don’t have the recycle button on - whilst driving in traffic / city - u get all the fumes and odours coming straight into the car. I personally never turn off the C button - but again depends on where you live and what your driving conditions are;

def a Bargain!! congrats

I’ve got a 03 sportivo - and never experienced this. It was 38 degrees a few days back and i had air con on 24 AUTO - it blows hard till it gets to the temp then puts it lower / maintaining temp. I live it 'the city' and have lots of frequent stops / traffic lights and the air con (which i have on 99.9% of the time) has never 'warmed up' whilst waiting at lights Obviously the hotter it is the harder the air con has to work - lengthening the time it takes to cool down the car - but once cool, it def shouldn’t start to warm up Try not using the Auto mode - leave it on say 22.5 and see if that happens (with blowers on say 3/5 bars etc) your car will still be under warranty - so maybe take it to Toyota to check??
