OK, I admit I was a little harsh on you in the last thread, I apologize for that. But I just have to say, PLEASE, unless you want to be ridiculed be everyone on the street, either leave your wagon stock, buy a more powerful car, or do some meaningful performance options like an engine swap or suspension. Make it into a sleeper, no one will suspect a 92 Corolla wagon to whoop them at the stoplights. Again, I apologize for my behavior in the other thread, but I'm just trying to help you out.

A sleeper is a car that looks just like a normal street car, no body mods, but has a ton of engine and drivetrain mods, which make it look normal, but perform like a "tuner" car. Oh, and also, stay with your Corolla.

Start by posting pics of your car.

Suspension, then wheels, then save up for a motor swap OR do a turbo kit like Flashmn if you have the Corolla with a 4AFE.

As for the Tercel.. they're even slower.

lol Id stick with the wagon. Like I said either a 4age or a 4agze. Then the suspension. Dont worry about an exhaust. It will mean nothing with that 15 year 4afe that produces less horsepower than an old ladies wheelchair. Get your priorities straight and save a few grand for an engine swap.

Look online for importers. You might as well get a half cut because youll never know which parts you need. Make sure it comes with an ECU. And most performance shops can do engine swaps.

A turbo would work well if you have a 4AGZE installed

to go turbo youll need alot of things, you cant just slap on a turbo somewhere on the engine. the turbo spins a turbine wheel off of exhaust gases (that are channeled through a specially made exhaust manifold it mounts on to). the exhaust gases spin a compressor wheel that is attached by a shaft, the compressor, does as its name suggests and sucks in/compresses air, which crams more oxygen (boost) into the engine, combined with more fuel, means more power. do some research on what you would need, and what generally come with a turbo kit. theres tons of info. theres lots of info on engine swaps as well, and plenty importers, just look around.

if your going to invest in this stuff, you might want to check with us on here, to make sure your getting what you need and your not getting ripped off.

good luck.
