far less trouble to get a sportivo and you get all the other luxuries. however, unless you want to drop a 2zz into a sedan or wagon.

I must say, our ZZE corolla looks insanely stupid stock. On a stock to stock comparison, i'd say the AE112 looks better. Similarly, on a stock to stock comparison, i think the new ZRE has the upper hand on the ZZE. It is an improvement, again, mildly done up on the exterior i think it would be a close call. However, look around some of the jap kits for the new corolla do make them look very aggressive and much more 'modern' than our cars. not to say i don't love my car, but still, when done up i think they look better. cheers.

All rice if you ask me tho... :P coz its too exy for headlight... but then if you run out of things to do then it wouldn't be too bad. the $500aud option, they use Mazda 3 housings, but you can specify at whatever the cost would be. :)

Haha, its a jap car held together with clips and cable ties, of coz its gonna rattle. :P seriously tho, tell us more information about when the rattling occurs and what sort of rattling. Cases could be, rattles during acceleration, only when crusing, or only at idling... i think a few people had similar problems in different areas where wiring or simple clips or even pedals rattle at a particular RPM where it just resonates. So tell us more about it.

Dude, I think he was refering to the model of corolla that majority of people have on this forum. However, what you say is true tho, the new ones does have projectors. As for the 02-06 corollas, they can be customed into our housing, and i know a shop overseas that does them. however it does hit you up about $500AUD for just the mods excluding the projector housing and shipping.

Sounds like the case of waiting for the current bill to be paid off or just simply waiting for the next cash flow to come in. Whether it be pay cheque or allowance. :P Come on... we all know that feeling... the urge to do things to our car... and we all tend to choose the power to go fast over the power to stop fast. Catch up on the shopping... another bill of similar size to the power upgrades for everything else... then you have a nice balanced car. Then it comes down to the driver... :P

good going shao! :) never doubted your taste!! woot!

it'll fit.. but i think the writing on it would be upside down if you try and use it on the rolla. cheers.

rough idling can also be affected by a dirty MAF sensor, so get some electrical part cleaner spray and give it a good clean as well as resetting the ECU. Cold start on CAI/SR are all very VERY loud. cheers.

progress? :)

I love it! :D its great!! haha! great video!

The times can be different on a series of factors, - Weight: already covered - Suspension: depends on how well the suspension is able to hold the car down when you put the power down (relates to weight), the suspension setup is better on a civic on a stock to stock comparison - Tyres: again, how well you grip would depend how far and hard you are able leap forward - Gear ratio: Civics and most hondas have VERY sporty and well arranged gear ratios (try a 80km rolling in a 1zz to any honda, you wouldn't stand a chance) - VTEC: well... that's almost trying to compare VVT-i with VVTL-i only VTEC is more aggressive The civics rev up to 7600rpm, with similar compression ratio to 1zz-fe, better thought out exhaust system offering a fatter torque and power band on better power to weight ratio. Now, i'd be surprised if the 1ZZ-FE won to be honest. I still love my 1ZZ tho! :P

the way they are facing would create lift rather then downforce tho.... It actually encourages the air to go around, i believe. watch more best motoring, they explain it very well! :)

I would also check you intake manifold. If its leaking or cracked, it'll cause the car to stall. :)

It is released in several countries. Just like the 1ZZ-FE, the 1.6 is a 3ZZ-FE using the same pistons but long stroke. The ZZE corolla does come in a 4WD, which was used in the UK to transplant a 3SGTE making some stupid 550 horses and then a bit. The 4WD doesn't come with 2ZZ-GE, mainly 1ZZ-FE. but yes, its interesting to see the part only released for the 1.3. Cheers.

It wasn't put there for no reason. Just like the rest of the plastic covering the underbody, the 'L' shaped bit of plastic is to provide more downforce when travelling at high speeds. By theory, sportivos should be more stable than normal 'open bottom' corollas at high speeds. Simply study the underbody of sports cars, or more simply, why did CONE make the underbody plate? cheers.

i haven't paid, but i'm still in for 2 of the 2.25" S10

The prices were just given to me by the guys, and were based on express post of single units. :) get the interested together... get more buying power.

hehe~ i'd agree to that! :) that is one nice car! will be 'updating' my car too soonish... when i get around to it... can only hope it'll be as nice! :P

Hey guys, Since I got so many people asking me about the TRD Sports badge on my Grill, I've managed to find the same Logo as a stick on. (See pic attached) let me know if you guys are keen to start a GB on it. NOTE: Size is 11.5cm x 2cm cheers. Pippy.

Have a look, i can get these. they are not cheap tho... $39 each posted, and $45 for the 'Z Aerotourer' All genuine, might be able to talk to them and see if there are deals on group buys. cheers.

I'd be able to orgainse and source from overseas for about $180 + post. i'll get a price if we can get an idea of how many people are interested. That's correct!

All badges sent!! :) thanks so much for the support guys!! Especially the ones that paid really early!! Makes group buy experience the way it should be!! thanks!

Thanks to all the people that paid on time! :) The order will ship on time!! and i will send them out individually on the week starting the 19th. As for the people that has their names down and have not paid, i have purchased and paid for a couple more, HOWEVER, i will not be hold the badges once they arrive. I will sell the extras in the for sale section. cheers.

Nope its not too late!! just shoot me a PM and we'll put you down if you want in! :)
