History

2005 Toyota Corolla (Red-ish)
Modifications
Drivetrain
Not much to do to the 1ZZFE under the hood. Just a HPS short ram Intake with a K&N filter. Put a throttle body spacer on it for the hell of it. Got a ebay muffler put on and had them go from 2.25 to 2.5 after the cat. Also have a Megan Racing Strut Bar.
Interior
Interior is the same story. Mostly stock except for a few things. Got tired of all the airbag recalls, and my steering wheel was starting to disintegrate in my hands. So I swapped out the steering wheel for a NRG 330mm wood grain steering wheel. I also put a short shifter in the car, and the stock shift boot was also cracking and peeling, so I over hauled the shift boot and knob while I was changing out the shifter.
Exterior
Exterior is mostly all stock. Paint is extremely faded and rusted is some spots. No major dents, just a bunch of door dings and rock chips.
Only exterior thing I had done was put some Rally Armor mud flaps for maximum street cred.

Audio
Changed out the headunit since when I would go over a bump it would skip on CDs and wanted something with some connectivity. Got some cheapo unit off Amazon that had a AUX jack, SD card reader, and USB port. It is called BOSS, so I assume it is Chinese knock off of Bose.
Suspension
I am on stock struts and springs, but have upgraded the bushings with polyurethane bushings in the front. Upgraded end links in the front.
Wheel and Tire
I daily and race on my Bassett Racing DOT Steel Wheels 15x8 with 4 inch back space on Cooper CS3 205/60/15.
