I'm yet to find one, but haven't looked too hard. I still think that the money would be better spent on custom made braided brake hoses. Not sure if you have read up on them, but the hose needs to be ADR'ed to be street legal and the TRD, C-One items are not ADR'ed.

I have been meaning to see if it is possible, but I don't know anyone who owns a Celica and a master cylinder brace, but if someone is in that situation, could they see if the Celica one fits the Corolla? It is a long shot, but worth a try.

thats what i was thinking too,, a DIY...

i know that cusco make afew, for cars like the skyline, and supra's. but i can't find a cusco dealer in melb that has the full catalogue.

as for braided lines i'v only started to read up on them but still don't know much about them. i'v heard that some guys get them done at pirtek or enzed, for about $50-$80 per line. all ADR aproved

i wonder if you can make one up your self,

make it simular to the cusco one but bolt it onto the strut bar instead of the strut tower. so that way we can have both. :P

i might give it ago on a weekend when i'm not working.

how strong does the metal have to be to do a DIY? might go to bunnings and have a look and try to weld something up

thanks for the pic bonbon

The thickness your going to be dealing with will be enough to prevent flex within the mount, providing you have proper triangulation. You will need to think about the effects or torsion on the strut bar, since it isn't designed for this it may not help in any way by attaching it there. I have given it thought before, but the best solution/copy would be the Celica one if it fits.

3mm should do the job and be over kill. I would recommend going to a steel recycler/supplier as it will be a lot cheaper than Bunnings ;)

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Assuming it's expensive because you have no spare keys to make new copies from? Whilst your key doesn't need batteries and has no buttons, it probably still has a chip built in for the immobiliser to prevent hot wiring

      Invisible Instruments fix

      Yep. I used that hack because the dash was so dark. It's brilliant and easy. Newer Taragos have backlit dash day and night so no more need for this hack

      Finally found all Tarago's 6 speakers - 2 in roof lining

      After owning a 2007 GLi Tarago (ACR50), I've only just found there are 2 Tweeter speakers hidden under the roof lining just behind the front row (driver and passenger) seats, above the B-pillars. Blew my mind. Would really have preferred it if they weren't so hidden. Ideally they should have positioned them a bit further back too for the rear passengers to hear more clearly. Now that I know, I've been able to tune the stereo much better for rear passengers. Taragos were alway advertised as having 6 speaker stereo systems, but I assumed it must have been a marketing con because I could only find 4 speaker grills. Since the rear speakers don't have any treble sound, they really need those tweeters in the roof to balance out the sound.

      Can I use USB hub to get more USP ports?

      I just bought 2022 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid. The manual said there are two USB ports, but I can only find one. I need two USP ports on the front: One for Andriod auto, the other for dashcam. Can I connect a USB hub to the USB port on the car, will Andriod auto work on the USB hub's port?

      Replace Front RH park light Corolla 2006

      Hi Martin, Firstly welcome to the forum.. I would go on to Youtube I am sure there are many videos there showing the process. If you have no luck there google it and see if anything there can help out, I have never done it on a corolla but I do know on my Aurion it was easy on the right side but a real pain on the left with the battery in the way.

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      Hey mate, are you sure that's an option for the vehicle? Some models have various set ups. I've had Toyotas that will auto unlock, but not auto lock. I haven't had the chance to work on that one yet thanks to the issues Toyota is having with their keys... I'd like to know if you figure it out!

      What do I need to change for a 2.5in lift n70

      Have got a 2010 n70 Toyota hilux and looking to bump the front up to a 2.5inch lift. Other than the upper control arms, seeing what else needs for geometry to be stable. cheers

      2005 Toyota Camry Altise - changing transmission fluid?

      I'm not too sure about "old fluid to make shifts". Personally at 160,000 kms I would change oil and FILTER. Clean oil will help your tranmission shifts better and remove worned metals inside, metal shavings can prevent solenoids from working properly. This is preventative maintenance.
