yep, the sportivo recall was to improve performance to meet the sports car category. there's an old thread about it somewhere for more details

you should have a recall sticker near the drivers door if it was done. the recall replaced the old funnel (from DRF122R) with this (from bonbon)

Are the West Australians still able to register modern cars as left hook? Thus not requiring the conversion. i just saw two old school chevrolets this morning. both LHD with rego plates so maybe we can. but they surely must at least replace the headlights for RHD

There was a recall to replace the funnel in the older corolla sportivos... And about removing stuff. I dont do it but i see it as the poor mans research and development... Trial and error :D

its there to reduce air turbulence when flow through the maf. ive read that if you take it out, you may get problems if the maf gives a wrong reading.

didn't know they released a new edition. Did they advertise it? Edit: just saw it on their website

You try attaching that to the mesh grill without cutting a hole in the mesh. okay... anyway colour coding FTW

looks great! if you want a toyota emblem in the grill how about get a corolla facelift emblem as it has some "thickness" for a more oem look

our facelifts use H7 bulbs. Cheers Ahh cool. Whats the difference between H7 and 9006? cause according to http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/A...eplacementGuide 2005 TOYOTA Corolla Low beam headlamp 9006 9006SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen 9006ST Silverstar High Performance Lighting: The Whiter and Brighter Halogen 9006EB EcoBright - Your Environmental Choice 9006XV XtraVision Halogen - The Brighter Light 9006CB Cool Blue Halogen - The Whiter Light High beam headlamp 9005 9005SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen 9005ST Silverstar High Performance Lighting: The Whiter and Brighter Halogen 9005EB EcoBright - Your Environmental Choice 9005XV XtraVision Halogen - The Brighter Light 9005CB Cool Blue Halogen - The Whiter Light h7 and 9006 are different sylvania is an american company i believe...so they might be referring to the american corollas (they have different headlights).

our facelifts use H7 bulbs. Cheers

after some heavy rain, one headlight had minor condensation so will reseal them along with leveling the projector. still using the halogen bulbs but visibility is good as stock and its a pleasure to drive at night especially around white cars... :D

are the low beam lights bulbs h11 for aurion and camry? you can try brighter h11. or if you can confirm that a h9 filament is in the SAME position as the h11... you can try modifying a h9 light bulb to fit the h11 socket (DIY http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=119161). h9 creates more lumens than h11 [2100 lumens (H9) as opposed to 1200 lumens (H11) according to Ken33f]

Speedz... read DJKOR's post "Yeah Speedz, they are illegal. I am with Colonel on this one. Just because you managed to get away with it, doesn't necessarily mean it's alright. It's like saying speeding is alright because I haven't been caught."

but i think colonel has a point since aftermarket hids are illegal. if the police realise that then your car won't be covered.

from this picture it makes sense now. there was originally a shield covering the cat screwed on to that metal plate but since the new tube is larger the bracket that wraps around the tube wouldn't fit

nah the plate doesnt seal the cat, more like a mount for something as it has two holes at the bottom

yeah thats what i thought too about the catback weld, can that disrupt the flow?

i recently got a sportivo catback installed on my auto rolla. i havent driven enough for the ecu to adjust but there's certainly no loss in performance but any gain was so small that it all might be in my head. otherwise it drives like stock but with a nice deep tone at low revs but so quiet from in the cabin. this the catback installed, just wondering if the metal plate circled in red was there from factory cheers

Hi there is a corolla owner that has the same kit, http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...mp;#entry334629 I've never used them but make sure the projectors have a cutoff for RHD ( ---\___ ). No drilling or cutting is pretty unbelievable though... its advertised as bi-xenon so there is a solenoid in the projector that moves the cutoff shield for high beam and lowbeam.

try to move the leds back abit by pushing them in so that the base dislodges from the white plastic holes. put some clear sticky tape over the leds to hold them back. alternatively, you can buy these 3 smd leds i got from the US but they're a bit pricey: they are really bright and light up the whole dial area evenly just like stock

Sad to hear mate hope it gets sorted quickly and smoothly. Installed new white smd leds for my console. Lighting is perfect like stock but white :D

I used a hairdryer on max and that worked. I assume a heat gun would be alot hotter so don't aim it at one spot for too long.

there is a trd front bar on ebay. it doesn't have the grill so its prefect for you :) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRD-Aurion-Front-Ba...alenotsupported

Ok will do mate. Drove in the rain today and so far so good but I'll give it a wash to confirm. it really does need a wash :)
