Even if you bounce it off the rev limiter a couple of times it's okay... It's a common misconception that revving a car is bad for it. What's the deal with that?? The car is made to rev, rev it! You won't be seeing any decent power until 4000RPM so you'll find yourself up there freqently. I suggest you get a CAI and then you'll be revving it all the time just to hear the sweet noise.

As for the gearbox, that sounds about right. They're very notchy. If you think it's a problem ask the mechanic to change the gearbox oil. But the gearboxes are made to shift with two distinct clunks so it's foolproof

With the price of petrol these days you wouldn't want to rev it!

I've just recently realised how to keep the revs down, and its helping me save money..

Oh, but then again, I don't get to listen to the 'soothing music'.. hehe

I'd be quite interested as to how much power my auto can pull!

Seeing as though SAS is just down the road from me i will probably be in.. though it has to be on a Saturday

Spotted hotboxcivic last night at around 10pm inside Strathfield Plaza carpark...... dump that thing!!!

Oh, and also spotted a black facelift sedan, lowered on what looked like to be 18s.. this morning around Sydney City Toyota

Hey MAte,

It all depends i guess, quite a few people have powder coated their rims and it roughly cost's about $200-250. Some members have also sprayed their stockies but have had mixed results. They have suggested going for a neutral colour (i.e. black or white).

Im planning on spraying mine a gunmetal grey. I'll see how it turns out and if i fk it up i'll just get them powder coated.

If your planning on getting 18's be prepared for the regular scrubbing of the front guards. most people here just stick to 17's for more of a comfy ride.

Cheers

Mark

Thanks for that!

hmmm gunmetal grey... should be interesting! Make sure to post some pics up.

So will the scrubbing still happen often even if the cars on 'lows' not 'super lows?' mmmm maybe 17's might be better...

Spotted black Sportivo in the city last night..

It was lowered and had the Lenso S-2s (same rims as me), but in white

anyone here go to macquarie uni ?

I'm pretty sure I spotted Ic3Man today around 6.30pm on Olympic Drive just passed Lidcombe McDonalds. Spotted the black rear visor, and black rims, very niiiccceeee!!~

Spotted today... black stock facelift Sportivo at burwood.. hooning past another car..

they suit the car nicely!

I have finally got the internet back, and now can post some new pics!

New wheels:

They are 17x7 Lenso Light S-2 in Black from Tempe Tyres

Rear sunguard (inspired by the Grey Goose):

Smoked side indicators (from GReddy_ES):

Nice.. the sportivo front skirt makes a huge difference to the look of the car..

I wouldn't mind one... but I don't think I'll be able to go up my driveway.. :(
