I first got the K&N panel-filter but it was nooo difference what so ever. No more power, not even slightly more noise either. Then i bought a K&N Typhoonkit! If you want a amazing sound (and slightly better performance/response) i recommend you to buy a Typhoonkit.

Energy Suspension motor mount inserts
martenj76 replied to Kevsta's topic in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club
I'm about to change the motormounts as my transmission feels a lot "slacky". Enginebreaking and then press the gas-pedal to accelerate and i feel the car a bit jumpy as it was something moving. -
Thanx guys for the comments! Hahaha, naa these rails are for industry-trains that pass there a couple of times a day only and they move very slow so i would have time to get off the rails then :D

Another Tsport from Sweden
martenj76 replied to martenj76's topic in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club
Yes it does :D Not to loud but a bit deeper tone with a bit of a gurgle when around 4000 rpm, just love the sound with windows down between houses downtown :D I actually got a videorecording i made just when it got fitted. Here it is: Sound of the TTE muffler -

No this grille is only for the pre facelifted model. The facelifted has the grille and frontbumper in one piece so it's not that simple to change the grille on those. Ok? I didn't know that it was going to drink more fuel with a CAI. No i certainly don't wanna raise my fuelbill more. Na, i think it's the same interiour. -
Oh ****, this one is awsome! Really liked this one, great angle! Your rims and the eyelids and the frontspoiler is soooo right!! :)

Engine misfiring-like noise at 800-1000 rpm
martenj76 replied to CTS03's topic in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club
I got the same thing from time to time, but almost everytime when i race and push the engine very hard it sometimes missfire or something because i can feel the engine loose a bit of it's power and i can hear a quiet poof-sound from the enginebay. I am also interested in if this is a common issue. -
Magnaflow cat back system
martenj76 replied to lucio_libre's topic in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club
So if i just change the stock muffler to a aftermarket with to much flow i could get decreased power? -
It's not possible to get into lift when no gear is engaged. This is to protect the engine because rev a engine hard with no load on it is no good to any engine.
-
No problems as Toyota claims max horsepowers at 7800 the engine is ment to rev to limiter at 8200 or as near that as possible. It won't do any harm to the engine as its built for this kinda reving. If you don't rev it to 8200 rpm at 1st gear you will fall way under lift when changing to second gear

I got the european version of the Corolla named Tsport instead of Sportivo but our cars surely shares the same transmission-setup. I have driven about 50 000 km with mine now and i can't say none of my gears are really crunching with a loud scraping sound but sometimes i can feel a little "edgy metallic" feeling when entering a new gear (changing up gears and only down when engine-braking hard). I feel this when driving normal, when hard driving their is just normal and not hard to engage the gears. Should i be worried or is this the caracteristics of the gearbox? I can't really remember if this was from day one.

Thanx! I like black cars as they really shine when they are clean and waxed :D But they also can look very dirty when they get dirty
