SpiderOne SG

Anyone know or can recommend ? not sure the exact model but its 1.6 vvti behind. any perfomance mods that are legal ? or at the most easy to take out before inspection? . any one know how much a decent bodykit will cost ?

I dont know how much bodykits cost lah. But regarding to get more horsepower legally, you can actually look into getting Air Filters (K&N,HKS), Grounding Unit Wire, Exhaust - try Remus but i dont know whether can fit the corolla should be can lah. Try lah. I own a 1.3 corolla XL. Modded too... i got a K&N Filter and grounding wire. surely it increase the power... coz i feel a little faster with those stuff... rather than the stock cars.

hi after u install yr k&n filter does your engine sound diffrent?
my ride is the same wif yrs Smile and did u change your steering wheel?
feel like changing it

KhidMasAE86 SG

ok lah not so much different. but sure enough the horsie is more... haha i didnt. coz the previous owner changed it to some crappy LM brand. no money. but i planing to get a momo millenium.

Remus of coz can lar.....they have exhausts for almost every single freakin' Model....Even for the SMART car also have...so dun worry Wink I presonally prefer K&N than HKS...dunno y...but i heard tt the gounding wire is supposed 2 improve yr idling speed right?

KhidMasAE86 SG

not really lah... welll idling abt 1000 without air-con... still standard mah... but sure it increase a litlle horsepower. can feel the difference. me too i prefer K&N... dont know why...hahaha

The older model coralla will be better choice for MOD

Cause of lighter body

I ever saw a turbo charge coralla at a petrol station

looks normal but when change gear OMG the bypass sound makes you look in disbelive

yo.....there for what?????
waste your $$$$ dun forget the cars we r driving here is still on installments....spent $$ wisely on elsewhere!!!

tiggersgd SG

they've the $$ to throw mah.

btw, if u own a fat boy, the tires are a good choice to change....perhaps a 15/16" rims+tires looks pretty aggressive.

put a body kit also can. plus the usual air filters and stuff that are stated above.

change the suspension lar....SACHS is good....I personally dun mind the firm ride....In fact i think the only ppl who mind a Frim ride is ppl with ostreoporosis....and ppl with that wun Mod their cars.... Wink

The Corolla 1.6 VVT-i is it the 2001-2003 model?

If it is then i think you have to take out the air sensor before you do something with your baby, there will be no point modifying the air filter when you have an air sensor guarding it.

The HP of the corolla is actually only 92bhp stock(from what i read)

so the more better choice of modification will be the exhust, ground wires the TYRE 15" will be the best and if you want to play corner PLS get a 195 tyre.

*note when rev-ing in high RPM will bring the idling time of the car up (e.g. at 100km/h at gear 5 before doing any nonsense you will be at around 2600rpm, after you whack your rpm to red line, the next time you go at gear 5 at 100km/h you will be expecting about 3300rpm) (my 2 cents worth again)
