2004 Corolla

[Johny Bravo]

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

Forgot to mention it's a manual and just a standard accent hatch.

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.

[Johny Bravo]

how much of a difference is that going to make do you think? Also i think it already has a heavy duty clutch in it.

[Johny Bravo]

And yes i'm fairly sure thats the motor it has.

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.

[Johny Bravo]

i'm not surprised, for what they are they do have a bit of "get up and go" in them.

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

[Johny Bravo]

i don't go much or subaru's my self. I've only had little experience with them but as far as i can tell they seem fairly gutless considering how much every one talks them up..

[levinboy]

my old car was an 04 corolla with TRD cold air intake, ported headers and sportivo muffler found that was all you needed

[Johny Bravo]

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

[Johny Bravo]

I'm getting 700+km per tank at the moment. Don't want to sacrifice that too much.

[levinboy]

Just depends how you drive i guess

[Johny Bravo]

yeah. 500 is still pretty good however. I am running it on 98 octane though. And we do do a bit of highway driving. Whats this about the ecu relearning itself?

[levinboy]

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

[Johny Bravo]

yeah i just read a thread on the ecu on one of the corolla sites. It was about resetting the

[Johny Bravo]

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?

[adamskill]

mate just leave the car alone. nothing you spend good money on will make it perform much better. if it is your mrs daily driver just leave it be. spend ya hard earned money on your skyline, leave the little toyota alone.

and harry...this is a performance car enthusiasts forum, when you speak such bollocks, people will know.

[GTS4WD]

if you want more power your going to be using more fuel.

Honestly though.

Dont waste your money
