does yours have dual airbags and folding rear seats?

looking for some headlight trims, eyelids i think.
those s.o.b. removed mine (singapore) cus i was there then the container was unpacked so it wasnt removed here. but bits of the adhesive was on the headlight lens. where you got that plexi fuel lid

Errrrr...... :stalk:

I got mine about May 2004. Kinda early in the roro series. But seeing as i wanted the 1.8 i pay waaaayyy more than allyuh. More like 95k. Motor vehilce tax and all. 1800c eh easy yes. Then i in a different tax bracket from allyuh as well (1.8 again)......so more gov't dues in meh arse again. But say what....got it wiht 20,000 on the odo

I doh have most of the flare youall have. In fact the only flare i have if the chrome irridecent Fielder finsher for the rear bumper....oh and those nice black OEM headlights.

Interior is Black Terra with chrome.....kinda sport finish. Black dash facia. But all the ABS, Rear folding seats, dual Airbags, rear cup holder in the fold down piece, Privacy tinted glass (only had to tint the front

). Stock steelies with hubcaps tho :cry:

but i change that real quick.

And man i love the feel of that 1zz engine.......all with economy to both (smack!)

BTW.....allyuh know if youall get the traction control packages? I have to go test out the car and see if the TSC light comes on!! :lol:

hmm really....do you know if he has anymore for sale? The problem with changing my grill is that if i change the top one to black then something definately needs to be done to the bottom one...the real funny thing is that I have been constantly searching the net for front spoilers for this car and its like impossible to find...hell i can't even find the one that my car came with...i am only finding one and thats what trd has to offer :cry:

hey sentraman...So far I did 325km and I am one notch below half...as i mentioned previously I will run it down this weekend to see what kind of mileage i am getting instead of filling up the tank which I would have normally done today.

sentraman · Postby **sentraman** » January 20th, 2006, 2:41 pm

^^ ok darkcloud we wait to see

I should be getting mine back tomorrow so hopefully my economy will improve.

DarkClouD · Postby **DarkClouD** » January 21st, 2006, 11:37 am

ok well i got 430km and the needle was one notch above empty. I didnt run it down to till the light came on...so i'm thinking i could have probably gotten 440-450km to the tank.

sentraman · Postby **sentraman** » January 22nd, 2006, 12:25 am

I got back the car today after they tuned it up so I will see if that helped.

They were going to change the 2 oxygen sensors but we had no idea how to take them out. It was straight foward to unscrew them from the exhaust but then when time to unjack them problems. The wire for the sensors go into the bottom of the car through a small hole like if it is entering the drivers side from below and not to the engine bay. SO HOW D ARSE DO U DISCONNECT IT???

nigel1977 · Postby **nigel1977** » January 22nd, 2006, 11:22 am

so all what the pple do?

sentraman · Postby **sentraman** » January 22nd, 2006, 6:40 pm

normal clean injectors, clean the intake, change plugs dat kinda stuff. But I also wanted them to change the O2 sensors just to make sure cause I changed the airflow meter but the milage remained the same.

But like I said above changing the O2 sensors seemed to be problematic ( so if anyone know how to get them out???). They had even put the car on the diagnostic a second time but still no codes were coming up :roll:

nigel1977 · Postby **nigel1977** » January 22nd, 2006, 8:22 pm

I have the USDM 2003-2004 Corolla workshop manual. Its for the 1zz, but lots of things are comparable to the other engines corollas.

Cor example. I remember seeing that routing for the two Oxygen sensors. I have it as a pdf file...bout 30Mb or so. Can get you a copy if yuh want

[x]Outlaw had the link for the manual up in another post somewhere but I can't locate it right now.

ps. last tanks of gas lasted for 547km before gas light...... :mrgreen:
