  1. Glued in a bit of door trim that has a broken clip and re-trimmed the centre console container lid in leather that matches my handbrake boot.

    Amazing how a couple of small changes makes a huge visual difference to the interior of your car.

    That lid was a bitch to do, the leather I had wasnt cut right (too big, covered screw holes), so I had to make my own adjustments with my trusty Vitorinox multitool. Fkn superglue on my fingertips is so annoying.

  2. PowerFC is a full standalone, but on Corollas its gotta be run in tandem with the stock ECU, just for little stuff like aircon and a few bits and pieces.

    Being a standalone it'll control everything, rev limits, lift, fuel, timing, vvt etc. Costs more, but bigger gains and you'll never outgrow it.

  3. If you lost power for more then say, 10 mins, your ECU will reset and have to re-learn your driving behavior (its the i in VVTL-i), thrash it for 100kms or so and it'll sharpen up again.

    If you lost all the water in your battery it might have effected its efficiency maybe as well, places like Battery World will check your battery 'health' for free.

  4. Save your money, wait a couple years, get a new FT-86.

    or

    Get a hard top 350Z, unless your getting 6 figure supercars, loosing the roof almost always makes a car 'floppy' and a bit heavier due to underfloor bracing. That and I think they look better :)

  5. Unless your going hardcore with weight savings, just go down to your local auto store and grab whatever, as long as its the right sort it doesn't matter. If you need to know which sort specifically, just ask they'll have it.

  6. Wherever your buying from is rubbish.

    Order online from here: http://www.bestmufflers.com/

    If its not on their website but magnaflow make it, they can get it. I got two 2.5 inch in/out mufflers from there when I did my old Celicas exhaust.

    Im not too sure but i was going to buy a 2.25 in and just swap out the oem unit for a maganaflow. The oem pipe is 2.25 i think.

    With the work your getting done you should go for a whole new exhaust... 2.5in all the way.

  7. If your buying wheels and your worried about weight i don't see going for 20's as being ideal

    If you can go for both looks and performance.. Why not? ;)

    Ok, 20's will be bloody heavy, even if you get super expensive ones. They'll be heavier then stock, so that means you'll have more unspung weight, which is BAD. Looks and performance is more like 17's. Not to mention how terrible your ride quality would be in comparison.
