2003 Corolla Sportivo mods suggestions

[dazz610]

Hi all, just got a black 2003 corolla sportivo and would like to do a few things to it. Was curious to see what others have done and how pricey it would be. Only thing done to my car so far is added blue neons :P everything else is stock standard. Thanks for your time.

speak 2 Evo7 (a member in the forum)

He is trying 2 organise Illuminated Door Sills as a group buy...u can get them in blue 2 go with your neons.

i personally have the red ones which go with the lights within the vehicle...

i stuck 2 a Black car Red Light theme

but blue still looks hot...

n spray your calipers ;)

[Blind Kid Seeks]

My first mod suggestion... is to use the forum search facility...

Or you could just check out all threads in the members ride section to get ideas.

welcome to the forum. :)

Heyy, err.. willing to spend a fair bit if it's what i want. As to ricer or racer, i'd like to think i'm a racer haha :P but in the distant, distant future, if its possible to get a rear wheel conversion to my corolla, i'd most likely do it, just so i can have a good time at east and west meets. Thanks :)

it'd be easier to try and mate a corolla shell to a GT4 chassis

mate as far as performance mods go, if you want bang for buck consider, exhaust, cai and ported headers. the 3 work together as a good combination.

lets face it. you will never ever ever make your corolla real wheel drive, if you do your an idiot, buy a supra or something ffs.

finally, if you want to rice it up, consider front grills, eyelids and lowering. thats some bang for buck stuff.

ooh... short shifters are pretty cool and well rated among users.

if i had the cash thats everything i would look at

cheers and happy front wheel driving

forget the rwd thing. It will never happen.

If its not lowered yet, drop that thing ! Leave those old springs for a rav4!

if you have too much money to spare.. then yes.. nothing is impossible but a 250kw atw rolla on the forum is still a fwd.. by the time u've done the conversion i think you prob could get urself a GTR35...

[KaZe-]

this is how i would pan it out mate

CAI (cold air intake)

Stock headers ported and polished

Custom exhaust

Coilovers

Rear sway

Front strut

Rear strut

decent tyres/rims

eyelids

wingtips

so on so on

hope that helps

250kw RWD rolla.. haha.. super rice drifter!

If the money is plentiful then go for it. There are plenty of mods you can do to your 03 rolla, just gota search around. Unlike the 08 ZRE rollas some of us have, we cant do much because not much research and development has gone into it.

Simple mods, exhaust, CAI.etc Depends wat you want dude. If you are budgeting, then mod smart; get better tires in favor of 17" or 18", instead of a bodykit get bigger and stronger brakes. (you get my drift?) Create a sleeper, a lot of guys dont have money to just splurge on every mod possible. Get mods that are effective for you, whether that be performance wise or looks.

Thanks Johnnie, it feels good when someone thinks your ideas on converting a fwd to a rwd isn't that bad and laughed at haha.

dont get us wrong mate, a RWD rolla would be epic...... but have you any idea on what would be involved in such a conversion? we're just being realistic.

what is it you do for a living? are you mechanically minded? are you going to be able to get any of the engineering/labour done for free?

[whitestivo]

Take a good look at BKS' ride, if you can get to that, you'll over achieve much more than anyone expects.

Stupid question,

but why would you want to make your rolla RWD?

What are you aiming for in doing that?

The best idea would be to take the running gear out of a GT4 and put it in the rolla :D

that would be best B)
