Firstly, I'd like to mention it's my partners car. Although it is still a comfy drive and very very good on fuel. Any way, the questions. Q1: What are the fattest tires rims/tyres we'll fit on the car without sticking out the gaurds lots and no rubbing (car is a hatch). And Q2: What modifications can we make to get just a little bit more out of it without being stupid and ruining its drivability. Was thinking along the lines of a computer chip or new computer or something like that. Can't find much info about it so i was just wondering if any one has and suggestions or ideas. cheers

If its got the 1ZZFE 1.8L VVTi Motor, i would put a set of extractors and 2 1/4 inch hi flow exhaust right thru, alloy intake pipe with cold air box. Suspension just go for known brand spring kit. Also recommend to upgrade the clutch at the same time.

friend of mine had one with the above mods was keeping up with non sti wrxs/factory gtst with ease, pity never dyno'd or put on the strip before he sold it.

Bwahahahaaa

No, please do go on.

All this time Subaru have been wasting their money on those stupid turbos, when all they needed was a Toyota engine with a decent exhaust system

And my pathfinder keeps up with ferraris and lambos with ease

On the M1 at peak hour

Ur funny :D

did it make a noticible difference? And did ya re tune it or any thing?

It made a difference, more torque and sounded great.

Didnt retune just let the corolla ecu relearn itself and it was fine, was getting 500+kms a tank

yea i only ever ran it on 95, drove sown to geelong from sydney and back in it and was getting 600 odd a tank.

Basically the ecu would make the car run like a pig for a day or two when a mod was done then it would adjust to it and drive fine after that

yeah i just read a thread on the ecu on one of the corolla sites. It was about resetting the ecu. But seeing we've done over 4000km since we got it there'd be no point in doing that. I seen some ecu chips on the net somewhere that soposibly give a bit more power. Are they worth looking at or are they just a waste of money?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
