    I've got a whiteline rear anti roll bar, it works well, as my daily its got bilstein b4, standard like slightly upgraded dampers, eibach pro springs, gives a nice comfortable slightly more sportier ride. The best thing I've ever done to it is fitting a limited slip differential from a mr2. Cost £250 UK, afternoon to fit with new bearings, night and day difference. Once fitted, you understand what rotation means, the harder you corner the better it pulls you round.

      Thanks for the feedback.
      I'm still planning to do the anti roll bar this year but I'm quickly running out of time.

      @@desirabledrives44 rear anti roll bar is a bit awkward to fit, you've got to move the jacking points to get it to line up right, not difficult, just Jack the suspension arm until it slides over the bolts.

    The bar you want for the car is the ARB whiteline 22mm up from the pathetic 19mm stock bar. The best and cheapest mod you can do for the Corolla . Why they installed a bar from factory that’s thinner than a regular corolla. You will notice this mod on every hard corner you take and should have come equipped with 22mm from factory as it makes it feel like a proper hot hatch. Combine with your better tyres and suspension you will not stop grinning 😂 🍻

      Thanks for the tip. I'm guessing you are referring to the rear sway bar?
      I'm actually quite impressed by how good each mods is making the car feel. It's like night and day from a stock sportivo corolla.
      Thanks for the comment.

      What's your opinion on swapping out the front one as well?

      @@desirabledrives44 personally best off leaving stock it won’t make much difference swapping to the whiteline on front and it’s more of a pain to swap as well. Changing the front bar is more beneficial to rwd/awd car setups. For fwd changing just the rear to a more rigid option is what’s needed. Car manufactures love making most cars have to much understeer installing the rear bar will reduce this on hard cornering.

    Hey. Looking to change fuel filter in Sportivo. Looks like in tank and under back seat. Cant find service manual anywhere any ideas? Cheers.

      @desirabledrives44  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah it's under the rear seats. Easy enough job.
      I highly recommend a ryco filter but a genuine Toyota O-ring.
      You just need to change it when the fuel level is low.

      @@desirabledrives44 OK cheers. I got a Ryco filter today. I'm going to have a go at it tomorrow. I seen an O ring in the filter pack and some clips I guess I'll sus it out more when take it apart.
