New to Forum...

[Rauster181]

I just found the forum and wanted to introduce myself! I just purchased a red 2004 corolla s. It had some work done it by the dealer :Tints, rain guards, TRD coilovers, 18" Racing harts/225-40-18 Toyos,aftermarket rear light, dual exhaust, AEM cold air intake, strut bar, sport pedals, C/F shifter, extended warranty(100K) for $17,7000. Did I get a good deal ? What can be done with this? Give some ideas.

*jaw drops* you got a crazy deal...just considering the racing harts alone are pricy.

wow...good job

[Rauster181]

What else can be done this besided headers and possibly a super charger?

[falnfenix]

a header...didn't know they were available for newer model corollas?

supercharger is a great idea...if you want more horsepower, go turbo.

do you have an auto or standard?

[Rauster181]

I have a standard. The header thing, I haven't looked into it , yet. I would think they would be available.

[falnfenix]

well..i'll say this. if OBX is the brand, stay the hell away from it.

why not get a TRD limited-slip diff?

Get the supercharger and you'll be all set.

KBD makes a header for the new Rollas...
Plus you can get a clutch/pressure plate/flywheel to help you put down the power.
Also if you have stock shocks definitley get some Tociko blues or something. And for more suspension stuff Hotchkis makes an anti-sway bar set.

R U sure you have coilovers because I don't think TRD makes them, especially not for the Corolla.

And what's with having dual exhaust on a 1.8 litre 4-cylinder?? Did you say the dealer did all these mods? Whats up with that?

[falnfenix]

TRD doesn't make coilovers...that must have been a dealer only aftermarket option. or they didn't know what they sold you...which is significantly less likely.

Have you ever BEEN to a Toyota Dealership?

[Rauster181]

To be honest, I'm not sure if they are coilovers. I just got the car two days ago and have been working some crazy hours. I definitly know it has lblue lowering springs.Yes, all this work was done by the dealer and they had the car in the show room for three months and no really wanted to buy it because of the mods. I walked and said jokingly " I want that one!". The sales manager heard me and walked over . He told me if I make you a good deal will you take it because I need to move it out of the show room. The rest was history! I really am not to happy with the dual exhaust but it came with the car so what the hell, I don't have a digital camera but will try to get one and take pics this weekend.What are those rear tail lights called, they are not Altezzas but they are exaggerated and are popped out ?

yes...but the one near me is fairly knowledgeable. as was the one near where i grew up. aside from those two, i don't have a need to go elsewhere.

maybe it's the fact that i know the owners of both?

"maybe it's the fact that i know the owners of both?"

Um well, that probably helps.
