  1. If your car has done its fair share of travelling or you like to manage your throttle with very sharp inputs...... Another way to get better throttle response is by...... adjusting your throttle cable in the engine bay The response that you get with the SRI is prolly good for about 10mins when your first start your car, its all down hill from there.
  2. Get the base bushing and the shifter cable bushings I don't know about a smoother shift, but my one is damn solid. I'm using TRD SS + shifter cable bushings. With the TWM, you will have to try and remove the round clip off your existing cradle which is a bit of pain. If you happen to destroy it in the process, have a browse through bunnings as they have some in stock, but not sure about the size. If their is one thing I don't like it would definitely be the istallation, I kinda butchered mine one. The TWM will give you a shorter throw compared to the TRD SS but you will want a heavy gear knob to help with the shifting, if not then you'll be looking at sore forearms :(
  3. Don't waste your time on SRI, just go the CAI. I have both, and the SRI just gives you the sound, the only way for the SRI to perform anywhere close to an CAI is to completely box the whole thing and run a duct to the front completely sealed. I laugh at people when they place a duct in front of the podfilter and say that it makes a noticeble difference <_< On an auto 1zz the SRI made squat all difference besides more noise. The CAI worked well at higher speeds (65km/h +)
  4. Do a search plenty have been discussed and mostly discussed only. Turbo or S/C it all comes down mainly to your tune and what quality parts you are using. S/C you could try sourcing the kits, but even then they are mostly all discontinued I believe. Not many people can give you an opinion cause not many people have a s/c zze123 corolla.... Remember to search before proceeding any further
  5. You will one day I'm sure Loved your R32 mate, couldn't really hear it through all the noise my car makes. Great to meet some of your guys there, although our fun was cut short, I suppose we did have a relatively good turn out. Saiya: You got to learn how to use your new camera properly, once you do it will take awesome pics I tell you
  6. Pepsi?? Redbull would be better, maybe I'll have enougth 'Lift' so that it would actually fly. Just changed the oil, oil filter, coolant flush and power steering flush. Still need another two bottles of steering fluid to fill her up. Going off to supercheap auto now. Didn't have time to put the coilovers on
  7. Couldn't be bothered going through the thread as it appears that everyone has differing opinions, so I may as well add mine too. If you want comfort with some increase in handling for the suspension department I would go (in the following order) Rear Sway Bar Front Strut Bar Front Sway Bar Koni Adjustable shocks + Stock Springs +King Spring lows if you want a lowered stance or IF YOU REALLY WANT IT Coilovers + a nice firm but soft pillow For the Engine CAI (don't bother with an SRI unless you just want the sound, and even then it doesn't sound that good) Nice synthetic fluid for all Interior Nice heavy gear knob (400g+) and you'll remove most of the sticky/notchiness + TRD SS I have tein coilovers but even on the softest settings they are quite stiff on the road, I'm looking at a Koni + Eibach combo at the moment. ALSO Your wasting your time if you think a K&N filter will give you any kind of extra power. The pressure drop across the filter is so minimal with the stock filter. Having said that I have a K&N filter as well!!
  8. If you want to hear all the rattles that your car has to offer Install a PFC and turn the A/C on + Install Energy Suspension Motor Mount Inserts
  9. being such a new car, I'm sure your warranty at Toyota will help you fix it.
  10. Really depends on your corolla Asking that many questions in one go, and look at that post count!!
  11. Hunt does have ball skills, but I don't think it was on display. He was playing more like another forward, well kinda like the modern five-eighth which is kinda like having an extra forward. QLD just had no sense of direction and they kind of just lacked composure. They are so missing Darren Lockyer last night.
  12. The question I would like to ask you is.... Is it necessary to go up to the corolla?? I don't think resale value is any good in the corolla as there is so many 2nd hand ones for sale If its your only car then a corolla for the extra room and practicality, if its mainly to commute to and from work then just get the yaris.
  13. definately gonna be a good trip. ill be in group 1 thanx. anone driving a non sportivo can join group 2. ok you should have said anyone driving a non modified non sportivo join group 2 because i dont think i am classed as a standard 1zz :ph34r: :ph34r: i think the guys who have been in the ninja or seen it in action can back me up on that Since we are going up the hill you'll be one of the few exceptions to beat the boys in the sportivo
  14. nah, I'm just being stupid lol Well goes to show that I'am a crappy driver lol Will be heading to the track soon fear not Engine mount inserts will help elminate/minimize the axel tramping :D
  15. Really nice result. I wished I got numbers like those though
  16. I haven't had experience with the Koni's and King springs but I believe they would be good for the street, better then coilovers IMO. I have recently been changing light bulbs for my brothers Subaru Liberty B4 and that thing is awesome around the corners on the street!! Its standard too, only thing is that although being standard they use Bilstein shock/spring combo!!
  17. Adjustable Koni's and kings would be perfect for the street Coilovers are only for hardcore nuts, which a fair few of us actually are lol
  18. You will have to undo a few screws on the wheel arcs and some plastic push-on tabs (use a thin flathead screwdriver). This will then allow you to remove the splash guard gaining access to that area.
  19. Man they should of done it earlier when I was getting my car on the dyno for tuning...
  20. If your running a sub at the back then its best that you do the boot as well. The best way for the sub to face is towards the hatch (i.e. away from the driver). So doing the boot should be good. I'm going to do my boot this weekend hopefully as everytime I close the boot it sounds like a tin can, its getting annoying.
  21. Looking forward to the day every single minute, and with two weeks until the actual date this will motivate me to finish up somethings I've been meaning to do to the car. As well as give it a wash/clean/clay/polish/wax/vaccum/condition etc
  22. IIRC Blue Heaven is at Canley Vale near the station. Someone would have to correct me on this though as I am not entirely sure. Twisties sounds good, just means I need to get the coilovers back on
