Hey guys jst got a quick question, im hearing a kind of knocking/clicking noise in the engine bay when driving the car. it usually happens under hard acceleration and braking. Im thinking its the shocks since ive lowered the car on super low kingys and havnt changed the stock ones but im not sure if they make that much noise when they r blown?? there is also a scraping kind of noise in both wheel bays when the wheel is in full lock and im going into a driveway or over a bump. has anyone had this problem bfore?? i tried searching but didnt find anything.. thanx in advance

hey those r some nice stivo sounds.. wish i had lift :( anyways i got a sound clip of my 1zzfe.. i stripped de audio from de video file cause u cant see anything anyway i was by myself n i dont have three hands lol.. my phone was in the sunglasses compartment near the steering wheel and isnt the best quality.. anyways let me know wat u think of it.. its late at nite n couldnt be bothered slammin gears lol..its only got an sri lol if anyone wants to sell me their stivo zorst let me know pleaseeee cheers http://www.uploading.com/?get=YQF4JU9O

Last thursday at five dock, syd.. Stood right in front of a cascade blue stivo facelift.. the back was dropped past the tyre on stockies.. got cannon exhaust.. i know its an italian bloke that drives it lol

haha soz i cant get any fotos up my camera frikken brokeee.. ill borrow a mates one tomorow nah i never push the car cold just common sense lol i fixed the erratic idle problem by puttin in 98 octane fuel.. ill try next tank with 95 to see if it idles alrite so i can save a lil money lol.. also the intake hiss on idle seems to have quieted down a lil.. another question.. is there much of an advantage of runnin a cold air pipe to the sri?? the majority of air would still be coming from the engine bay wouldnt it?? has anyone tried routing a cold air pipe to the front grille?? i think that could be my next experiment hahaha also.. there is an irregular hissing noise coming from the engine at idle.. everytime the intake hisses the car would rumble.. the only conclusion i can come to is a vacuum or air leak.. does anyone have any suggestions to find these leaks if there are any??

Ill post a pic later tonitee.. the piping is 3 inch in diameter and replaces the factory rubber tubing. the sensor is mounted in the same position as stock and is about 2 inch from the pod filter.. maf sensor is secured tightly and is completely sealed. i remember reading something about resetting the ecu.. i unplugged the battery before installation for about 2 hrs.. but it just doesnt seem right that the engine responds in this way on first startup.. do i have to make the ecu "learn" the responsiveness of the new intake? how long will it take to do this?? i have driven around with the new intake for approx 15 mins..

Hi everyone, i just got made a custom SRI for my 1ZZFE with a k&n pod.. i just installed it and its not how i thought it would be.. the car was warm when i installed so i only can go on this.. idle has dropped from around 800 to 400 rpm... this causes the car to shake and the intake noise sounds weird.. like its sucking erraticly.. there is a huge power loss i mean HUGE!!! the car doesnt move till around 3000 rpm where it seems like theres a spike in torque.. there doesnt seem to be any leaks. i can only hear the pod sucking in air and not from any other connection.. the maf sensor is installed properly.. please help

thanx alot for the help guys..just a lil worried cause i only noticed the strong smell recently maybe just my imagination lol i will check the oil cap tomorow to see if there is a buildup thanx for the tips

Hey ive got a corolla ascent 1zz-fe.. it is fairly new only done 27000kms... Ive noticed on a cold engine start it blows quite a bit of white smoke which has a burning smell. Im thinking it could possibly be a head gasket but the car seems to be too new to have such a problem.. It goes away once the car is warmed up.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated
