Its near the Uni end, we can have 2 meets, some of you can meet up at the market, but saturdays is way too busy around there. I still reackon Egenes cafe is better.

Its at the end of swanston so theres plenty of parking.....last time we met there there was about 5 or 6 sportivos. Good place to meet , have a coffee and a chat...how many guys are interested and what time suits you guys best. I reackon early afternoon say 5-6pm?

I reackon we meet outside Egene's on Swanston :) He;s shouting free drinks last time i heard to anyone that can install his bling bling mirrors :D

Are you getting the car lowered?

I dont get you guys, anything over $350 is just a huge ripoff, even $350 is expensive, but $500 :o for an aluminium pipe and a pod?

Slam Dat Puddy Hard!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

The list is: 85 celica 2.4....shame it was auto still fun in the wet 98 camry vienta 97 Starlet 2000 echo 2001 echo 2002 echo 2003 corolla sportivo 2005 corolla sportivo (current) My old man had a 76 toyota crown, 83 corona (undestructable) now owns a 95 vienta Mum owns a 2001 corolla.. never owned anything else but toyota's ;) time for a German marque

I reached 230kph one morning in my old 03 model before it had the ECU upgrade....if someones bettered that i apologize, havent been following this post.

Red paint :P

The corolla also shares the same drivetrain as the MRS. Are they in the same league??? I wouldnt think so. The celica has independent suspension all round and it would handle alot better than a sportivo, maiking it a sportier car...No?

What determines the "Sportiness" of a car is the heart -> the engine/chassis. The Celica and Corolla Sportivo feels sporty and can be considered "Sports" because it has a "heart" that revs to 8200rpm and produces more than 100bhp per liter displacemet, matching to a 6 speed close ratio gearbox. Suspension is a let down i must say but at least it can be improved (not like the DC5 TypeR and TypeS, you spend money on suspension to get worse handling). The MR-S has a nice chassis being mid-engined rwd but the engine is a let down for such a highly capable chassis and selling it at that price you expect more. If you say looks determine whether a car is a "Sports" car or not, then you are a hairdresser and should go buy a hairdresser's car (no offense). ;) Z ← Hey Z i wish you were right ....I wish i was a hairdresser where i get my haircut anyway, i would be on a constant hard on man......soo many hotties.Anyway back to the car....you cant really call the corolla a true sports car in stock trim.and thats what i was referring to, i dont like comparing "modified" etc because not everyone modifies their car, thats something you guys just dont want to understand or it doesent sink in, NOT Everybody buys a car to modify it to handle better more power etc....because of money etc. Thats what im about, in stock form the corolla has a great sporty engine but its not a sports car in both looks and handling...engine ...well yeah but thats it. The celica, was pretty much a Corona with two doors in Australia....and later on a two door sports car with a Camry engine...with the exception of the GT4 which was a Fat 4wd. The only true sports car made for the aussie market was the Supra and the MR2...which did not sell and did not live for long...it sucks but thats reality and how many of us here would fork out 40+ grand for an MRS or a Celica for that matter..... or 60 odd for a supra(new back in the late 80's)there are many "better" options for that price..........then comes the corolla with a sporty engine and reasonable price....but the Fudges at toyota give it the stance of a 4wd and the handling of a shopping trolley and stuff things up, ends up costing us anouther couple of grand to make the dam thing the way we want it.....and the thing that pisses me off the most is that it the sportivo range you do not have any options to upgrade to more performance, its all enhancing crap like tint and towbar. If toyota were serious they would have wheels options and also chip and a friggin rear skirt(I was told the new models dont have it)....but they dont give a stuff...Ahhh im arguing with myself...sorry guys but it makes no sense to me...toyota get in F1 then cut their sports range out....why?

I dont want to start a war but our corolla sportivo is no way a sports car....it doesent match any of the definitions of a true sports car. Without a CELICA or MRS the sports range is gone. The corolla is just a fast runabout in my opinion but doesent handle and is not classified as a sports car.

BLITZ

Check club meets and events on a regular bases.

I had the 17 inch 6 spoke rims from a gtp....sold them for $150 bucks without tyres, ive had them for 5 years now collecting dust, it was time to sell to first buyer.

Good Luck mate. My dad has a 95 vienta but its auto. Its a nice cruiser but feels real heavy even with its v6 140kw engine but has plenty of torque. I would love to see that engine in a car weighing around 1100-1200 kilos. Good luck, keep us posted. :)

Hmmmmmm the same happened to me a few months ago...I wasnt too sure, i had a hunch that it came off while driving...vibration causing screws to loosen up. it was the rear one as well

What sites do you guys use when downloading movies........im downloading movies using "Bearshare" but they turn out to be friggin porn...i mean here i am trying to show my missus that i downloaded war of the worlds and ... far out porn goes on the screen, i cop a big old smack over the head and she cracks it....I need help.

That didnt come out rite...i'll rephrase that......Briony Winged and cried and nothing happened...but then craig started nagging and bitching so they couldnt handle it anymore receiving all those anonymous bomb threats so dec ided to change the engine

So she popped the engine......and got it replaced for nothing coz shes a girl...is that it? :)

I cant see it happening because toyota sports models in Australia have always failed miserably. Look at the names, MRS, SUPRA, Celica GT4, 7th Gen Celica, Corolla Sportivo(turbo). What makes you guys think they will exercise that again? I cant see it happening.........although having said all that, the current sportivo is more likely to be successful simply because it has 4 doors, and the hot hatch market is on the increase as these vehicles have more room and more more practical for everyday use.

Post some pics of Barbados chicks lying around naked on the white sand :D dont worry about exhausts :P

K&N around 80 bucks if you go to Sunshine Autobarn in melboune, elsewhere friggen double.

Just adds more rice under the hood mate :)

yeah the foggies are soo bulky in size, you almost need the end of the pipe to bend backwards to slot the filter on. I had to push the pipe from up top into the filter to get the filter in. Took me about 2 hours for everything.
