Changing the title of this thread away from "TRD COROLLA COMING" - when Toyota or TRD confirm this then feel free to start a thread with this name. Until then, it is just more "speculation", which a lot of members here have had enough of and have stopped hoping.

I still hold hope for the re-badged ZR Levin. With TRD stickers.

nobody has speculated yet that they might put the 3S-GE BEAMs into TRD corolla.

well technically they already have. It's what the TRD S2000 rally corollas have inside.

Sounds like the same speculation ppl had about putting the 3SGTE into the ZZE series Corollas.

The only people doing that are in Canberra and they're doing it for racing with little or no input from Toyota Australia. If Toyota put that engine in a production car it would not be Corolla.

Remember, this 'is' Toyota Australia. They always get everything wrong, so even if they did utilise that engine again we'd see it in a Hiace. (Yes that's a hint by the way, that's what the next TRD model is. Neal Bates told me, because he's like, my best friend. Sorry guys)

no bating me RXSeven - i already have a REAL TRD corolla in the garage, toyota australia won't come anywhere near close to beating that

Yes, he has one... its noisy and gets dirty lots. ;)

I can hold out all i like for reintroduction of vvtli or a 2 litre engine with dual vvti (ala aurion) - something to compete with a civic type R - but I'm sooo totally with the rx7 man on this one... :(

The funny thing is you don't see many of the Peugeot 207 GT/GTi's around for just $32k or so...

Yeah, theyre not a bad car. But at the end of the day, french cars have a reputation for being soft and unreliable - so only old people buy them.

But for a luxury 'warm' hatch, I quite like them. Theyre sorta unique - and a bargain B)

lol! funny bugger! yeah billy drive your car out the TCMA in bottany and open the bonnet for em whilst proudly announcing BEHOLD!!!

cmon guys they wont go nuts on the corolla theyve got now itll cost too damn much to build/test and make pass emmisions theres nothing in it for them itll end up costing a bomb to sell and why bother when theyre selling in good numbers we arent talking about n12 pulsars here when they tried putting exa turbo motors in to boost sales.

the only way i can see a trd corolla ever comming to light is if somebody goes out there and builds one of their own

and if they wanna call it a trd corolla then they damn well can cause theyll have to have spent some dollars to make it happen

I'll be happy if its a supercharged if they really gonna make one.. But what about the price?

ZR is priced around $30k

Would you buy one if it hits $40k?

I'll get a Golf instead

The Levin wasn't much cheaper than a Sportivo back in the day. Perhaps they will price a Sportivo in the mid 30s?

i hate to say it but i believe for toyota to release a trd corolla the figures have to be atleast a 40kw gain on the standard car n still meet emissions emissions is the reason for the many delays on the trd hilux (so i heard)

Had a look at the article. Wheels and Spoiler are TTE post-3374-1226708397_thumb.jpgpost-3374-1226708368_thumb.jpg

Is it perhaps an SR180 with optional wheels?

SR180 is diesel. I think NZ just got diesel corollas but not the 2.2litre SR180... . SR180 has 400Nm and 177hp.. Not bad huh but id still like supercharged Corolla. <_<

NZ have two diesels and both turbo,

1.4 66kw and 190Nm

2.0 93kw and 300Nm

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k
