nice, you need eyelids!!

i wouldnt be going into water that deep, even if i didnt have a CAI...

[DJKOR]

Nice and tidy. I really love that colour. Those rims look pretty clean and sharp as well.

[1rocky]

Welcome and nice car

eyelids would look great especially with the sports grill

[mrcrazyrolla]

Do you get many stones thrown up into your skirts from front wheel wheelspin?

Yeah definateley not goin in puddles or anything too deep, just a bit uncertain of the spray / splash that could get the pod.

Azza - Haven't really noticed stones or anything scratching the skirts or anything so far, only had the wheels on the car for about 5 days, no tell tale signes of that yet. And yes stock shocks, rides as smooth as stock height on good roads, only notice a bit bumby on dodgey surfaced roads

yeah the splits go pretty good hey....... deffinately bang for buck, cost me $120 brand new from jaycar. I dont have an amp running them, im just running them off my head unit and they dont distort with the head unit at maximum volume so yeah, they go pretty good.

[elgrande]

Nice ride bro, I always had a soft spot for this shape corolla. Looks hot on those rims

[HI ROLLA]

First of all i got a redback muffler and 3" dump tip for $230.

That wasn't loud enough tho so i got custom 3" piping from the cat back to the new muffler and tip for $110.

Thus 3" cat-back exhaust for $340 bucks. I'll make a video of it one day.

[Evo7]

Hang on... you got a 3" cat-back exhaust?? :o

the would reduce your power output cause there would be no back pressure... a suitablee size would be more of a 2.5" catback lol :P

Sorry Raf, hijaked lol

Evo

nah ur right evo, was about to say the same thing! i somehow dont think he has a late model rolla coz there is no way you would want a 3" catback on one of our rolla's

[Evo7]

So what will you end up doing?

Evo

Me? well just spoke to exotic exhausts which the_random_hero works at...... bloke said im looking at $280 for 2.25" cat back with resinator and muffler, then $60 to $160 depending on the tip. Sounds like a sweet deal to me :)

[Evo7]

2.25" is what is on the Sportivo, if anything, try to get your hands on BKS' exhaust lol :P

thats what i will be upgrading mine too :D

Yeah sportivos are close to 2.25inch but 1zz's are smaller. My mate has a 2.25inch cat back on his 1zz and reckons its the business, and from what i read here, 2.5inch is a bit big for a 1zz without doin the whole system with extractors. BKS exhaust u reckon hey? ill have a look into them

i think i remember reading somewhere on here that the 1zz exhaust is only 1.75" :o

but yeah, if you are looking for a good exhaust upgrade, i say go with a 2.25" catback on your 1zz :D

i will be ;) i just wish i didnt have to wait :(

Tell us how it goes
