I just picked up an 05 Coroll a XRS yesterday. So far I love it. It's the perfect all around sub 20k car. I found this forum through searching, are thier any others for my car that are worth my time out there?

So basically HI! and here's my car.

Welcome to TN!!

Thanks,
as for mods, maybe a winter steel wheel tire package first. Those pilots are great on the pavement, but I am sure will suck in the snow. Plus I don't want to mess up the factory rims.

-Tint job
-some sort of corrosion inhibiter type stuff done to it (damn road salt!). Do those electronic ones work well?
-A good alarm w/ remote start
-After the alarm, I want a decent stereo setup. I had one stolen before, so the alarm comes first.

eventually-

-Tein Super Street coil-overs (my buddy with a 500rwhp '95 Supra Turbo swears by Tein suspension) for ride hieght adjustability and even better handling

-A good wheel and tire package

-and a few other small doo-dads that won't effect the long term reliablity of the car.

I have a project turbo-charged street bike underway to play with for straight line fun. The Rolla is for daily work. But it doen't hurt to have abit of fun and look good while doing it.
