Bought a rolla last week and am loving it! Immac interior, alpine system, has skirts and front lip and low kays.

Been wanting to own a rolla since i got my licence and finally have one lol. Though i originally wanted an sx/gti or sportivo.. still, the 1.8l 7afe has awesome torque. For some reason, the car handles really really well and seems to be damn quick for a 1.8l with no vari cam/lift. Oddles of low down torque and pulls straight to redline. Maybe it's not stock.. i found a k&n panel filter after purchase haha. Would love to make it even quicker but not the right time atm. Anyways, here's a pic

Congrats on the car!! you will love that model. I used to take corners so fast especially around small round-a-bouts. That car handles so well one of the best ive driven actually so heads up there.

Also my mate he is a drifter has 2 models of corollas has a 4age and a 7afe and he said my car was the best for cornering and is bloody fast

Have a look at my post here what happened to myn if you like some old lady ran into me 2 weeks ago :( i love that car i want it back lol

Justin 105,

Ouch, i checked out the thread. Props to the rolla for withstanding it though! That's actually one of the reasons i got mine, 4 star crash rating from something not exactly new and very affordable.

Yep, still can't believe how well it handles. From what i can see, the shocks, springs and bars are oem units but feels quite firm and the car doesn't roll too much at all. It's got crummy falken tires on atm though so might not be giving enough grip to produce bad body roll.

cme-lft,

Yep, defintely easy to drive. Much better than my old daily (a 20yo camry that refused to die lol). It's kinda sad..i enjoy driving the rolla more than my weekender haha =/

123r-prozak,

I'd love to have the sportivo version but can't afford it atm as i'm expecting a little one november :), hence also why i said i'd love to mod it but not the right time atm. Would love to do intake/full ex/igntion/piggyback, springs/shocks/sways, japo rims/uhp tires..

Yeah was a pain to see it end that way. It was still kicking at 210,000 so well, engine was so clean as I done all my services and when i bought the car at 140,000 I opened up the top engine block to change the timing belts and such and didnt see 1 bit of clutter of old oil or anything so I was happy. I loved it and like washed it every weekend. It was like Candy apple red in colour to me ;)

Below attached image was its last wash but now its a part doner:(

I was looking at a 2006 Sportivo but ended up with a Ascent that i bought yesterday. Couldnt go wrong 55000 kms with 10 months rego 2 new car warrenty. Engine and all was in imaculate condition so picking it up Saturday.

You will love your Rolla good car and very reliable

Thanks all :)

Got a set of 4afe genie headers ceramic coated laying around looking for an engine to mate to. Got various pods laying around too hrmm..

Justin105,

Sounds like you got a top deal on your rolla too, congrats! Shame about the ae112r though.

Prozak,

A varex muffler and electronic adjustment would take care of that - Wish i wasn't so poor right now bah!

Thread revival lol.

Thanks guys!

Still enjoying driving it around :)

The car goes pretty good, the torque is definitely handy and the gear ratio's make it very zippy around town.

Had a nice set of extras that made me buy it lol.. I don't think i'll be making any performance mods to it, though i'd love to but like said i'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment and i'm just finishing up on the weekender plus don't wanna lose the low down torque as that's what makes it so nice to drive.

I'll try and make it out to one of the meets sometime :)

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
