Hey guys, figured I'd finally make a build thread.
So here it is, my 2004 ZZE123 Corolla Sportivo in super sensual sizzling silver (pretty boring colour actually).

I've had this for maybe two months or so after I wrote my 06 Civic FD1 off after some touge in the wet.. bad feels. But after owning this over a month or so, I can honestly say I love my car, love the nice raw feeling to it (hate to say it but sort of reminiscent of a Honda, as I've owned two before this) ESPECIALLY THE LIFT. Needless to say, coilovers are probably the BEST you could do to it in regards to overall performance mods and working off a tight budget.

So to speak, the first thing I had to do was get rid of that hideous 4x4 height and the handling which resembled something like the Titanic. So I got my hands on some BC BR Series Coilovers.

After a while, close mate of mine wanted to paint his foggies. I said hey why not but I wasn't a huge fan of yellow foggies on rolla's. Unless they're a Hachiroku derp but how often do you come across them? Anyway, he said what do you think about amber corners? Looked great on his old dc2 so I went for it. Learnt a few things about how to paint here and there and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

So now this brings us to a few days ago.

After reading up here and there, I tossed up between a CAI and a SRI. Intakes are intakes, depends what you want really; I was searching for more low end power and a more responsive feeling. So I finally chose the k&n typhoon series SRI and well, I love it. Lift sounds great, amazing throttle response and notable hp gains (minimal but you can't expect anything much from an intake lel).

But yeah, that's pretty much all that's done to it really. Pretty standard to say the least but I have more planned for it. I'll leave you guys with a few shots of it recently, a video I made for fun with a few mates and a video of how she runs with the SRI for those of you who are looking into a short ram.

Cheers guys, will update you with more in time!

needs more stickers.

Agreed, ordering an OEM+ sticker and maybe something else in the near future. I plan to keep her as clean and simple as possible though :)

No real updates lately but here's a shot from a random shoot tonight, also bought some 5mm spacers (for wheels I may be purchasing in the future), sits alright with stock wheels.

Little update I picked up these cheapo wheels a while ago and slapped on some cheap Achillies 123s tyres on and they felt great :)
This is how it currently sits, probably won't be updating much because I am now jobless :(

Thanks man! Too bad these wheels are rashed up though... planning on a better set of lighter and agressive offset.

Sooooooooooo these happened!

Picked up a massive steal for $600, 17x7.5 +41 Advan RGII's. Absolutely love these atm, could definitely feel a difference in weight compared to my ****ty cheapo wheels previously.
Since my last update I've only really done a few things i.e. 2.5" mild steel catback all custom fabbed, double din touch screen head unit, shifter extender and knob, trd antenna replacement and a few minor things. To my surprise I noticed gains instantly after I pulled away from my mate's dc2r with I/H/E. Now contemplating whether I should fork out that extra $$$ for a set of hurricane headers, opinions of them would also be greatly appreciated!

On another note I've been chasing up some quotes for exedy HD clutch and I've found one for $350 via ebay however I am having trouble tracking down a flywheel which brings me to these questions

1) Is it alright to run a different branded flywheel with an exedy HD clutch?
2) What are the benefits of an ultra light flywheel and are they really worth the money?
3) What's it like to daily a car with a lightened fly wheel?
4) I know it's cheaper to do it when I get the clutch intalled since the gearbox will be open - should I do it?

Other than that I'll leave you with this picture which speaks for itself ;)

Lightened flywheel reduces the unwanted inertia while down shifting.

Improves acceleration at the sacrifice of top speed.

If your highly adaptive, then you would immediately get use to the change in blipping the throttle a bit more to keep the car from stalling.

PM me if you're interested in buying my flywheel.

      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.

      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.
