    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted

    They're 5 spoke speedy's on your ride ay sportiv? Richo (RO114) has a set on his black sportivo too man, they actually look really really good. Oh dude...the RSM meter placement too, classic! Who needs air con?!!! lol

    yeah theyr'e the speedy's thinking of powder coating them possibly not sure yet.. hehe windows down all the way.. but ive now got an SAFC-II that i need to put somewhere aswell.. decisions decisions

    Yeah...I can understand 'not' wanting to mount it on the dash and stuff. Look's a bit too ricey sometimes. Be interesting to see what you think of though!

    Ok ok, whether you like Billy Corgan or like the song or not you have to admit, the backdrop is nuts!

    I want that big screen thingy!!! And the standing electronic drum kit!!!

    I had the pleasure of seeing him live last year, and woa...it was eye candy! Very very unique stage setup.

    PS: For those that don't know him but recognise him he is the lead singer and songwriter of The Smashing Pumpkins.

    Just get a real cars guys, LOL just jk :D

    you know what, thats true to an extent...

    i love the 2zz motor, and i think the sportivo is a very good performing car, but at the end of the day, you're driving a corolla... and whiles its great because its got a nice mix of performance, and fuel economy, and family-car-ness, its not a high performance car, and its not really designed for the 1/4, or the track. its designed to be driven around the streets, and there's the opportunity built in for some spirited driving...

    if people wanna spend the money on something they have been shown is better, why not go for it? if you're not keen on spending so much on your corolla, don't... but leave those guys alone who have, they just have different tastes and aspirations for their cars than you...

    if CES made a 1zz exhaust system that was nice and cheap, and it proved good gains, id buy it in a second... but im just one of those people who can't justify so much money on my car in that area...

    Lmao just taking the **** silva hahaha, nice to see people still have a sense of humour in here.

    On a serious note i'll keep this thread going a tad and maybe morph it a bit. A mate who own's a yellow S15 Jap Spec Silvia had a CES exhaust system (+headers I think?) fitted to it. I think that my be a better example that CES 'do' know what they're doing as he'd had some insane increase like 40kw or something! I think the main problem is people really don't want to spend big bucks on minimal gains on a car that is a nippy little street car. Eg: $5000 poured into my mates S15 for engine mods turned it into an instant 12 second car! And now he's cracking 11's with a computer upgrade. $5000 into our cars gets about a 30kw increase adding it up. Want power? Go turbo or S/C really (or convert and get big a55 cubes behind you heh).

    I've said it before and I'll say it again though, 'everyone is different'

    Silva...you and I contrast against each other as an example because we see different things in our cars. You wanted more power out of the motor, whereas I'm already happy with the power and want to trick up the handling. I think that is the beauty of modding cars, as there is always an uneven cascaded pattern of tastes that people can observe. Being unique.

    I really don't know why this topic is constantly pursued.

    I realise now why I no longer have the desire to check the forums daily as this is all that seems to go on.

    The information sharing has slowed to a dribble.

    As mentioned above and also in other people posts:

    ~ A high 14 second pass doesn't really excite me and spending in excess of 10k for the sake of a second is just a pure waste of money.

    ~ A Corolla is not a track car. Its fun for a fang and upsets a hell of a lot of poeple at the lights but thats about the extent of it.

    ~ If your a true racer, sink your teeth into something with big cubes and a top loader feeding power out back through an LSD. LOADS more fun and huge smile factor. As Rob said, even something turbocharged will give you a much larger bang for your buck!

    ~ Uniqueness is a good point. If you really want to spend 20k modding your Corolla i order to beat an R33 that can be had for 15k in total, then go for it. Your loss. (Or perhaps your just loaded!)

    And finally....

    ~ You probably wont ever see my Corolla on the track or the strip. But you will see it cruising the streets, turning heads and possibly even parading random hotties LOL!

    Over and out!

    Mick = right. Don't be a bum and 'not' come on the forums tho man!!! There's lots of other fun things to do on here! Like post random monkey pictures!
