mines fuked!!!

i took off my 1.8

after taking it off... i realise.. theres a mark.. under it..

its.. a rectangular shape... its kinda like stamp on it REALLY HARD.. n the 1.8 touches the edge of the mark...

man i wish i had the money for a sportivo.. >.<

Mod your current car if you like it.  The suspension setup craps all over the newer corolla's.  The A series block is nice and strong too if you want to go forced induction.

Pauter and Argo do stronger rods, and there's a huge variety of forged pistons to choose from aswell.

If you have 10K, this is how I'd spend it...

Engine crane $250

Good socket set $200

Good screwdriver set $50

Good ringspanner set $100

Chain for crane $5

Remove the motor yourself, it's pretty easy even for a first-timer.

Purchase some stronger rods with ARP bolts $1200

Purchase some oversize forged pistons with rings $700 (aim for 8.5:1 or 9:1)

TD04 WRX turbo $250-300 for a good secondhand one

Evo or import VR4 cooler from importers $200 (better than the ebay crap)

Bosch BOV $40

7MGTE injectors $100

rebuild kit for the 7A $300 (incl all gaskets and seals)

Bearing kit $200

Steampipe turbo manifold $400

Dump pipe and exhaust $600-1K

Cooler pipes $400

Labour to machine/rebuild motor with new parts $1K

Oil feed/return lines and fittings $130

Emanage with MAP sensor, ignition harness and injector harness $500-600 seconhand + $200 to tune

OR

Microtech/Haltech/Adaptronic etc $900-1500 + $500 to fit and tune

HD clutch $250-400 (recommend a 6 puck sprung center ceramic disc with uprated original pressure plate, the toyota pressure plates are hard to beat)

Secondhand TRD LSD $400 from importers, $500-600 to fit, possibly less if you take the box and LSD to a gearbox shop.

Shim the oilpump while the motor's out for a bit more pressure

With this setup, you will have a basically indestructible street motor which will put out something like 170kw ATW with moderate boost... Will leave sportivo drivers thinking "WTF was that???", and it will be a RELIABLE daily driver too.

With the leftover money, invest in some Koni's and springs too, then it's another $500 or so for a decent brake setup.

If you're after extra rice points, factor in some extra $$$ for a multitude of guages, I'd recommend oil pressure, water temp and boost.

If you want info on seriously modding the earlier motor's, then www.twincam.org and www.toymods.org.au are much better sources of information.  Johhny, kingmick and Terry O'Bernie have all done some serious builds on the 7a at toymods from memory.

hi!! ive bought this for.. like 3 months soon..

its my 1st car.. and 1st manual car i drive.

so.. this mite sound stupid.. but here it goes..

hmm.. i live in a villa right.. n it takes at least like.. 3-4 mins to get out of it.. coz theres like.. 1x sets of hump.. i have to drive at... 40km/h..

so.. 2nd gear all the way...

after each hump... my car shakes like hell!!! is it because the speed dropped... or something is wrong? is it normal? driven manual for like 3 months.... still dun get it..

even though i step on the gas.. it still shakes a bit..

i wish i could drive thru the hump.. at 60.. then.. no problem...

just everyone be grateful we don't have the ones on the Jazz, take a look, u'll know what i mean

one of the ugliest cars honda has ever designed. even worse with the bodykit.

←

that's a bit harsh! i think they're cool!

stumpy body and kinda cute! :D

done up right, the only thing you'll be seeing is its rear end down a straight or round corners!

←

it looks ok.. with bodykit.. but man..

its such a honkie car.... especially when its BLACK!!

Here's a pic of my new aerial. :D

←

man it looks like a mobile phone antenna......

lolz...

is it really $8 us? thats pretty cheap...

better buy 2.. incase SOMEONE starts taking it...

:P

ive heard a few comments from members of this forum.. a lot of them complained about the paint job and... chip bit of their grille...

is it really that bad?

if thats true.. anyone know a good place to get it paint?

thx every1 for helping out!!!! :D ;)

yeah they had a ****ty panel beater doing their work!!!They changed to a better one though!!!LOL :P

←

yup, that's wat i heard, too. benson was absolutely bitching about them the last time i met him

←

so... now they fixed the problem with the painting right... =.="

i shudve bought a black or white corolla....

cut out all the problems.. !!!

corolla altis is the same shape as the US corolla sedan.

the front doors are all common across the au corolla sedan/hatch/wagon.

the rear doors aren't. so if u get the cheaper ones, u won't have visors for the rear doors.

←

damn!! i want a whole set... so the only place i can get it.. is thru X i guess..

*Number one "NEGATRON"...........The newbie in question is "NOT" BENSON from the store "IGNITION X" he has not been on this forum posting any products for a few months after the recent events that happened with him being kicked off for trying to sell parts without the proper permission on this forum!!!!

*Number two "NEGATRON"............I myself have a contract with TRD & C-ONE in japan and deal with the company in question and many others in Australia and over-seas!!!I posted an average market price that may help the guy who posted this topic in the first place with sum idea of how much they can be!!!I never say go buy from any of my clients i supply to for personal gain......

*Number three "NEGATRON"..........I know from personal experience that benson has upset a few people in the manner that he has tried to "advertise/sell" his products But in no way should you personally attack him by NAME on this forum in public view!!!! This as you may know this can be seen as slanderous and in the worst case lead to Defamation of character!!!! If you are P@SSED OFF next time dont be so personal and try wording it another way!!!!!

***AND BY THE WAY.....I AM NOT HAVING A GO AT YOU OR TRYING TO START AN ARGUMENT BUT IF U DONT HAVE PROOF THAT THE PERSON YOU ARE ATTACKING IS "XPLOSHUN" DONT MAKE THOSE KINDS OF COMMENTS :D ***

im new man!! i dont know him...

Hi Benson

p.s. if u ain't benson then the story is that benson owns a shop called ignition-x which i'm sure stocks some nice stuff, and benson apparantly is a decent guy. but he's a cheap tight $#%^&$$#@$@#$ son of a $%#@^4 that keeps posting up on this site selling his stuff from his shop and website. Oh, BTW his stuff ain't cheap, in fact, if you ask the other members, they'll prob tell you where to get it heaps cheaper. And of course I have to mention again that benson truely is a stubborn ^$#@$ that keeps popping up on the site... not to mention i'm sure he drives vtec... <_<

←

oooicic~! thx man! i guess i'll need to visit ignitio x sometime soon then.. B)

sigh~ didnt expect corolla parts that expensive..

u know anyone called benson?   

well that's the guy to look for if u ring them up.

←

huh???

im new man!! i dont know him...

tmcj call them rain visors and should be about $100 per set. you can find imitation ones usually coming from taiwan but check they suit the hatch if that is what you want it for as the rear windows have a different size to the sedans which are the only model to get in taiwan.

←

180?! wow thats not cheap.. my bro got a set for his accord euro.. for like.. around 100

id thought corolla's would be cheaper

from kcorro... is that set... the slim one? or the big one like the AUs Fact?

where is it? can u tell me please?

im not sure if its called the side visor... i know it used to be called something like a weather XXXX....

but it says SIDE VISOR in the site i looked in.. u guys should know it.. www.iginition-x.com.au

u guys know bout this shop? is it any good?

hi all!!! im new here..

ive been looking for rolla's part price.. cant find it anywhere.... so ended up here..

and it seems to be great!! all those sites that ive been in to...doesnt actually give u the price...

ANYWAY does anyone have a site or anything that they can post out to tell me the price.. for parts... like everything?

i wanna know how much the side visor cost

ive seen ones which r really slim and small.. and ones that r HUGE n bulky.. heard ones from Jap and the other is from AUS...
