Corollas are not usually the choice for "tuner cars", if rice is what you're looking for then you need a Civic.

as ren said corollas arent really the popular rice mobiles, mainly because nobody makes ridonkulous body kits and all that garbage for them. you want that "roar" just get a cheap straight through muffler and get rid of your old one. and ren's red car in his signature is a corolla.

Paint it black, drop some wheels, tint the windows, remove all the icons and logo.

Forget all your other plans. They will get you nowhere fast. You want to be a tuner? Drop in a 4age and then work on your suspension.

Worked 5SGTE (bonus for ITBs), JIC coilovers, full tint all around, forged spinner 14s, debadged, , custom rusted-out paint scheme, and turn the back into a giant salt-water fishtank.

In increasing order of silliness.
