/o/,

Just purchased a Toyota Corolla S Plus 6 speed the other day and am already looking to make this thing more fun to drive. I just got a job that will allow me some expendable income so as an absolute noob when it comes to the mechanics of vehicles I've come to ask your advice.

I have already considered getting a sway bar to help the over-steering and getting a muffler as well as some cosmetic shit, but I would like to make the car quicker at least on the low end without fucking it up. I want to make it stand out on the street but not be a complete faggot and have everything under the hood stock.

The goal is to make the thing more FUN to drive and look different than the rest.

I understand I'll have to add better parts such as better brakes, clutch, etc. if I plan to do too much, I'm just looking for a starting point.

pls halp

Pic related isn't mine, but it's the same damn thing.

You bought the slowest, shittiest possible car. like literally the cancer of the road. enjoy wasting money on stupid shit for your slow car. I can't wait until a few months go by and you fucking hate it.

:(

Well, I had to get a new car because my truck broke down. I haven't ever had a newer vehicle and was just happy to have air conditioning, plus i got a ridiculously good deal on it... I don't think i'll ever HATE it, but I already want something faster.


But i get what you're saying. Now that i got thins job, im looking at 80k before the 20+ hours of OT a week, so I guess i'll just wait and get something faster to toy with.

I was considering a newer WRX. Thoughts?

Why are you so mad? You posted a stupid idea and you're getting the appropriate replies.
It just seems to me like you're trying in desperation to justify being such an idiot. Either you want to go downhill in a Corolla and are gonna do it, or not. You don't need our permission to be an idiot and risk your life in a shopping cart; an automatic, beige, floppy, tiny brakes, solid beam rear suspension shopping cart. Like are you fucking serious idiot?

The whole premise of this thread is fucking retarded shill shit. Your main concern is whether the AUTO tranny will hold up. And failing that, you'll go find a MANUAL Corolla. What the fuck retard, just admit you're a stupid shill rather than some innocent guy with innocent questions and an auto Corolla hanging around, you fucking moron. Corollas will never be a reputable subculture, sure as fuck not like Honda which has some actual inherent merits to it.
Corollas fucking such, they're styofoam fast food containers littering the street. Corolla will never be a culture apart from what has already been forced into memery like the ugliest 80's Toyotas just bc they have RWD and sometimes popup lights. Who the fuck are you fooling?

Not the guy you're arguing with, but any car can be fun. From the Crappiest Yugo to the most expensive Bentley. Every car can be made fun.
I support modding the Corolla instead of immediately trading it it, being upside down and owing more on his next car than it's worse. Don't advise OP to financially fuck his life up.

Corollas can be fun. They just have a more expensive entry point than a Civic.

Nothing boring about a corolla. Only boring people.

I mean, it's never going to be fast. Just enjoy having a reliable car that probably won't break down often which is nice. If you at least wash it once a month and wax it sometimes it'll look better than 90% of the corollas on the road. Upgrade to better tires when you need to but other than that I wouldn't do shit.

Both were stock and barely over 100k miles. Very clean cars.
I hated them both with a passion one was a 1999 hatch. The other was an 03 coupe.
Terrible. But thats just my opinion.
I enjoyed the 1987 corolla much more.

Again. My opinion. Not trying to start a civic/corolla war.

OP here. Holy shit you have autism...

Anyways, I bought the corolla as a travel vehicle to go back and forth halfway from Houston to Austin every other week and to drive to work. By no means did I buy this car with the plan of throwing a bunch of aftermarket shit on it and expect it to go fast. I know it's never gonna be fast.

I was just curious as to what i could do to maybe give it a more pep on the low end. It's literally my first time coming to this board.

Also lrn2read before you project so hard your ass prolapses. I got a 6 speed so your rant about an auto tranny was completey retarded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing
Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by a grassroots participant(s). It is a practice intended to give the statements or organizations credibility by withholding information about the source's financial connection. The term astroturfing is derived from AstroTurf, a brand of synthetic carpeting designed to resemble natural grass, as a play on the word "grassroots". The implication behind the use of the term is that there are no "true" or "natural" grassroots, but rather "fake" or "artificial" support, although some astroturfing operatives defend the practice (see Justification below).

That's a 1ZZ. Completely unrelated to the 2ZR-FAE OP has. There is a turbo kit for the 2ZR FE, but not for the FAE, so OP's stuck until the aftermarket catches up. The FAE variant is fairly new so there hasn't been much released for it. If anyone is going to make something for it though, it's MoneyWrench Racing.

>>17011595
Yea for like 5-10k. Then it'd be a 25-30k car, which is used corvette territory. That's retarded. Besides, superchargers don't increase low end power. It just moves the whole dyno graph up.

I bought this because it was a great deal and I needed something reliable i could put some miles on. Not to buy a fast car.

Now that i've been running around in a 6 speed, I want more speed. If there's nothing I can do short of rebuild the engine and throw a tarbo on, i'll probably just get a faster car in a year or two. I like the 2017 civic type R's. Are those going to be available or was that just a prototype?

Trade it in for an 86, pay off the 86 as soon as possible, then swap in a 2jz gte and an r154 or AR5 tranny for like 6 or 7k if you're not a lil bitch and can do it yourself.

No, you don't. The Corolla is not boring just because it's slow. There are equally slow cars that are pretty entertaining to drive because they handle well, give you feedback through the steering wheel, respond more quickly to throttle and brake input, things like that. The Mazda3 is the usual example and it would not have taken much research before buying a car to learn that.
