Hey there, I was really hoping you guys "down under" could help a whinging pomme (sorry for the sterotype)! I have a 2003 Corolla 2zz engine, and the tuning for it here is absolute pants! I looked on your site and you have some great looking rolla's......I need help in sourcing bits n bobs, the only thing available thats not custom made is a k&n forced induction kit and a set of fast road pads. I really want a free flow manifold and possibly a cat back exhaust but over here all we have is a TTE back box, the remus one and to be honest it ain't that good!! Any help would be awesome.....thanks for reading this!

you can buy cold air intake from USA, trd, injen, or aem. As for header, you can buy TRD or buy Hotshot from USA. Hotshot is the current favourites by the US owners. CES made catback system, people are happy with it so can't go wrong there.

Nothing wrong with Remus, I have one fitted to Corolla Sportivo which is the same as your T-Sport, although the sysyem isn't loud it does sound great. The best thing in my opinion is that there is no cabin drone at cruising speeds. Have you had experience with a Remus sysytem before? If you like check out the photos in the current post "Remus Exhaust", hopefully I will have sound bite up by the weekend.

I like the sound of the remus, i've just had to have to keep replacing it, they start to rattle about 14 months in and rust around the flanges, maybe its all the salt and rain over here!!

Whats CES? Does the header make a noticable differance? Also, i need to try and sort out the handling, first on my list is a front upper strut bar, I want to go to the Nurburgring later this year so i'm trying to find a goos coil over package! I dont know if you have heard of TEIN or KW as i'm trying to get one of the other but due to my car being Grandads choice its taking a lot of digging!

Styling wise i'm after a suble street sleeper look, my car is thunder grey with black 17's with a polished lip, apart fron this and a set of Euro rear lenses she's standard! Does anybody know if there are any projector style head lamp available yet? The ones with dark inserts as i thonk these would look the nads!

Cheers all...........keep on modding

CES stands for Custom Exhaust Systems which is the name of a campany that has it head office here in the state of Queensland. They have been proven many times to give some gain in HP. If you wanted one you would have to ship it over. If you do a search onb CES I'm sure you will find were someone has posted a link to there site along with many user comments. Also, I don't think headers are available through them as yet but I think they are working on a design.

There are many different types of Coilover units available that will fit the Corolla. I believe some people have TEIN's but they are very expensive. Another good brand that several people are using is CUSCO. Spend some time looking in the Garage if you want a better idea of different brands that are available. There is a member on the Forum, goes by the title "DANZ". I think he has just had some coilovers fittted. Try sending him a PM as he seems to have a lot of knowledge on Suspension Tuning as well as other topics.

Also, there are no projector headlights available for the Corolla, except for the American Version. You can get the JDM style headlights that have a black tint in the lense. Try looking on the C-ONE website, they have some decent pictures.

Sorry to hear about the problems you have had with your Remus. My Father has had a system fitted to his GEN3 V8 for almost 4 years without any kinds of problems. He lives across the road from the beach but has had no problems with rust. Mind you his car spends a lot of time in the Garage.

Hey Barney, the Fensport corolla is old news around here mate :).

yeha but i dont know why everyone gets so excited about it, its really not that special, Neal Bates Motorsport in Canberra builds a Corolla with a 3S-GTE every couple of weeks, it cant be too difficult seeing how the corolla and the ST205 celica we're built on the same platform so most of the bits and pieces fit perfectly.

Sorry guys.....been to see the Fensport car at Santa Pod and it's pretty cool! Too much power tho, the gearbox decided to eat itself. :huh:

Spent my lunch hour trying to determain wether my car will run without its Cat....but i think the engine lamp will keep coming on as the 2nd O2 sensor will be swithching like mad!

I've had mine since November 03 with no such problems :blink: Brother had one on his Prelude for for 5 years, it was the same when he sold the car from when he first put it on.

Do they spray salt on your roads in winter to melt down the ice ? Ouch.

      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.
