  1. My dash lights don't always turn on and apparently it affects my tails or parkers. It seems apparent that it's a common fault with toyota's. Spoke to my auto elec, going to get it fixed in the next few weeks. Have read on here that people think it's a stalk problem that cleaning inside it could help but I'd rather get the auto elec to look at it instead of guessing what it could be.
  2. I've never heard of anything like it before. Saw it briefly on my lunch break and upon reading up on it found it to be b.s.
  3. Did some more research and looks like a load of bull. Most reviews state that there is no increase in HP or better fuel economy and in disaster cases the blades have come off and damaged the engine.
  4. Has anyone come across this??? I'm very curious to see if it works. Wondering what slight performance increase it will give to my K&N typhoon CAI. Introducing the Surge Intake SuperCharger, it revolutionized the Japanese tuner performance market and is now for the first time available to the US market in limited supply.

  5. Been looking at alternative performance mods to my 2009 zre and thought about camming it. Had a friend who put a stage 3 cam kit in his V8 Vn Calais and it was a monster. Not sure if it can be done with the corolla's but it would definitely be a cheaper alternative to turbo or supercharging it. Might email Crow Cams and see if they have anything for it.
  6. Hi my name's Anastasia I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Been a Toyota owner all my life but am currently driving a 2009 Corolla ZRE. I'm slowly doing a few mods to her. Started with 17" Axxion Rims, Super Low Pedders Suspension, black tint on the tail lights, black badges, Tinted windows, sports catback exhaust and K&N CAI. Might get a body kit but kind of like the way she looks at the moment. What I have planned in future is saving up to get sports machine drilled/slotted brakes and then do some further engine mods.
  7. I used to get that with my manual Corolla and my Vienta previous to that. I changed my tyres and springs on the Corolla and haven't had any issues since. It's just a matter of easing off the accelerator.
  8. Just an update on the CAI, my exhaust was extremely loud to the point it would put to shame a lot of the V8's, even wrx's. Over a few days of driving I have noticed the exhaust sound has quietened down since the addition of the K&N Typhoon. It wasn't a sudden change more a gradual change over the week. It still roars if I put my foot down but not to the extreme like it used to. The same happened with my partner's lancer, we had a cannon exhaust put in the same day I had my catback installed, then I fitted a new pod and it muffled hers down too. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this too as this is the first car I've done mods to?
  9. Thanks. Was weighing up the cost and close to $600 including shipping didn't seem like a good idea considering I could use that money on performance mods or a body kit.
  10. It says $398AU but it's around $446 without postage and handling. The seller just got back to me and he's out of the smoked ones. I'm so tempted to buy them just need to pick the right ones for my car. I hope that's cheap, maybe someone somewhere sells them cheaper. The seller confirmed they come from japan.
  11. Hi guys, I know there has been a previous thread about this but I wanted to do some research myself into it as I'm not happy with my tinted tail lights on my zre corolla and wanted something that wouldn't attract police attention. Firstly searching for zre corolla led or smoked tail lights didn't really come up with much but when you search for Auris tail lights the doors start to open. Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can see the Auris tail lights and the zre corolla ones seem to be the same. I found a guy on ebay that sells them and this is what they look like. Item description 2006 2007 2008 2009 TOYOTA AURIS COROLLA JDM LED SMOKE REAR TAIL LAMP LIGHT Anyway if anyone's interested or can share some light on if they are one in the same, there you go.
  12. The only problem I have with the car is the light stalk going funny, where my dash lights sometimes don't turn on. Will get it looked at next service or I'll give it a crack myself.
  13. No CEL thank god. I think because the typhoon is specifically designed for the corolla it works fine because you don't require any adjustments like if you were installing the injen cai. THe brake lights have been sprayed with night shade tint. I did the sides with a few extra coats as there aren't any lights that illuminate on that side but the rear where the lights are, is a lighter shade. When I originally sprayed them it was way too dark and had to strip them and respray them. Only prob is it was a rushed job and on the side if you look closely there's a bit of paint sag.
  14. KN698757TTK - K&N Cold Air Intake system designed for Toyota Corolla. Ordered it from Repco for $580 and spent a couple of hours installing it this afternoon. (Sorry I have no step by step pics but the know it all neighbour kept coming to bug me). It was very easy to install and comes with step by step instructions. Took her for a test drive, the cai helped muffle the catback exhaust and give it a meatier sound. The CAI kicks in around the 5k rpm mark to give it a boost. Didn't get to let her really fly but have to retrain the computer to handle the new mods.
  15. Had my custom catback exhaust fitted yesterday, tinting the windows today and installing the K&N typhoon cai today. Next month she's booked in to the panel beater to fix a few dints and respray her and then she will be my dream ride.
