  1. Do you have a roll cage? In the event that you roll the car, a harness will effectively keep you upright with more rigidity. If the roof collapses, so will your neck. A fractured skull is better than a broken neck. They're really only designed to be used in conjunction with fixed back bucket seats and a roll cage. It also won't be as effective without a proper seat, where as a seat is still somewhat effective without the harness, just more expensive. Also, with the rear straps horizontal, you're stock seats are more likely to collapse with the increased pressure, rendering airbags useless. I used to use a removable 4 point, but was still a pain in the **** to implement, and was only worthwhile with proper seats.
  2. Incidentally i am having a bad day, but would react the same regardless.
  3. 1. The intake sits in exactly the same spot or higher (depending on the person who implements it) as your hallowed flawless TRD CAI. 2. You have a pre-facelift, so don't assume to be an expert on facelift models. 3. There's a gaping hole in the rear of the airbox for drainage. If you'd ever bothered to look you'd see if the air feed was blocked, air would be drawn in from there instead. 4. Given 3. you'd have to be a moron to drive through water at full throttle to overcome the flow from the drainage opening. 5. Some people may not want a big shiny OBVIOUS modification to their engine. 6. There's no uninterrupted negative pressure between all the openings to the fog light cavity and the ducting - it's not a vacuum direct to outside. 7. If you'd read the guide instead of just looking at the pretty pictures, you'd see I didn't recommend all the available options. 8. People are entitled to think whatever they like. 9. I could pretty much go on all day, but have work to do... You might want to let people make up their own minds. This guide (and the workshop section) is for making information easy to find. If you want to debate or just post your opinion everywhere you can, I suggest not posting in the workshop section.
  4. The goal isn't to create more power, just more response, noise and air.

  5. Keywords: CAI corolla sportivo stock induction intake ducting airbox This is the same mod I did to my old AE93, except that time I used silicon ducting with a 3" helix. This time I used thermoplastic rubber with a 3" helix. It's fairly thick with rubber on both sides of the helix. The sound is similar to straight removal of the stock feeder (like a V8). The longer you make the intake, the very slightly quieter it will be. The sound from my SX was more high pitched like a turbo. Total cost: $30 to $40. OPTIONS: THERMO PLASTIC RUBBER <-- image removed --> <-- image removed --> MULTIFLEX (I think this is the crap you get from Autobarn. I think it's 100% plastic. No helix.) <-- image removed --> HIGH TEMP <-- image removed --> WHERE TO BUY (BRISBANE): Tony Powell (Open weekends) Purple Pig (Not open weekends) There are multiple length options you can go with: 80cm - from the airbox to resting down on top of the splash guard in front of the radiator in the front bumper. Don't know how effective this would be considering the end is right next to a radiator. Also, there may be an effect on cooling as you're effectively stealing air which might have gone through your radiator. 70cm - from the airbox to a hole cut in the passenger fog light splash guard. Not recommended unless you want to suck up dirt, water, heat straight off the bitumen, etc. 70cm (05 facelift only) - from the airbox to next to the front fog light with a hole cut in the black fog light surround, for sucking in small wildlife and junk. A lot of extra work creating a circular opening in the fog light surround, for more risk. I considered this but honestly wouldn't bother. 60cm - from the airbox to resting next to the front fog light pointing down. Cut it so there's a couple of inches clearance above the slash guard. Obviously don't let it rest flush on top of the splash guard. 40cm - from the airbox straight to behind the passenger headlight. You should cable tie the end of the hose so it points downward into the empty fog light cavity. I recommend buying 1m for the first 3 options and 50cm for the 40cm option. Also, DO NOT CUT TO LENGTH WITHOUT PROPERLY FITTING FIRST. The bend right next to the airbox will shorten the ducting considerably. GETTING THE STOCK FEEDER OUT: Remove the battery. Remove the top half of the airbox. Remove the bottom half of the airbox. There's a steel line running between the battery and the airbox feeder. Take this out of it's little plastic brack and wedge it down beside the bracket on the battery side. Remove the stock feeder. MODIFYING THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE AIRBOX. The opening to the airbox is 70mm, perfect for clamping the ducting to using a worm drive clamp. The only problem is the corner of the airbox protrudes onto the ring you want to clamp to. The solution to this is to cut away the corner of the airbox. I was short on time and forgot to photo this step. What should be left is 15cm ring all the way around you can securely clamp to. <-- image removed --> INSTALLING NEW FEEDER: Securely clamp your ducting to the opening in the bottom half of the airbox. Feed the ducting under your fuze box, through the gap under the headlight and to wherever your option is. Reinstall everything else. For the 60cm and 70cm options remove the slash guard under the passenger foglight and remove the black foglight surround to check the placement of the ducting. Finally, cut your ducting to length.

  6. How did you paint the rims and how much did it cost?

  8. If your seats deploy airbags in a collision, then you can't cover them.
