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.

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

Washed the car and the weather was perfect so i caught the camera and drove to a train-yard and took some pictures. What do ya think?

ok, try the link now

I like the exhaust.....must sound sweet...

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

Gotta agree with everyone's comment so far as this rolla looks hot!

Simple yet classy just like Daz has mentioned.

Love the face-lift grille...I wonder if we can get that for ours

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.

Yeah looks pretty awesome, your pre-facelift models had those wicked headlights you got on, unlike our big bugg eye ones. CAI with high petrol prices? :) not a good move. Infact I wouldnt get one unless i needed it for track use. For a daily driver, youre wasting more fuel. For track or strip, sure no probs.

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.

Nice car looks good, is the interior abit different as well?

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!! :)

thanx!

Well yeah its the standardfront but i added the TTE-lip.

yes, what happend to your engine Northy?

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.

The back pressure is the muffler. So I assume that 2.5 piping allow higher flow, but restricted at the muffler to gives the back pressure. It's dyno proven, what else could go wrong.

←

So if i just change the stock muffler to a aftermarket with to much flow i could get decreased power?

Awww man you revved up to 6k rpm already, couldn't hear Lift kick in =/

←

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.

whoa u hitting it hard there

i rev it only till 8000rpm and change gear

never pass 8000

dont know if i can change quick enough so it doesnt go pass red line

gotta try that one day haha

←

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.

can your car get anymore shiny?  :P  :P  :P Very nice i like!  :D

←

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

Hi!! I'm from Sweden and this is my first post. I got the european version of the Runx and here it's called Corolla Tsport. I bought the TTE-grille and it looks really good i think B)
