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

 

So when i have it floored and going like 50 in a 35mph zone is that doing damage to the engine and what year is yur civic (the red one) lol

 

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.

 

hey thanks so i found one on ebay and i really want to get it but it has to be welded on will it pass inspection or do i have to take it off or somethin??? Like i said im a noob to all this

 

also i dont know if "tuner" is the right word.. More along the lines of something with new paint and racing rims and maybe some kind of dress up for it ill take some pics of my car post them

 

bidding is over but here's the link to the one i want to get

I just took a crapload of pics of my car interior and engine for the site its new camera and i didnt get the cables so they should be up this weekend

 

is this thread a joke? I mean seriously...

 

 

lol thats gangster.

 

Paint....

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.

 

i think thats expecting alot, since he hasnt quite grasped the idea of installing a muffler yet.

 

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.

 

Please tell me this thread is a joke... I want to literally kick your testicles in (presuming you have any) for thinking of the Corolla as a tuner car. Get a ****ing Supra or 300ZX if you want a faster car.

lol I guess but we all started somewhere.

And any car can be a tuner car. It doesnt mean that it will go fast but you can still modify it lol.

 

Now now.. anything can be done, there's a few 4AGZE powered wagons and 3SGTE powered sedans going around, you need tons of parts and money for projects like this one, whatever you do stay away from rice.

As for my Civic it's a 93 Hatch and yes it's right behind my car in my signature and it's basically now my beater.

 

Damn yes i have testicles and damn im getting bashed like hell i just want a roar from my exhayst and some new rims and paint damn. The window tint failed insppection at 26% and yes its dark. I mean dang i say like three posts and im gettin bashed like hell. Thanks Mayur and ren for defending me and since im a noob whats rice

Wow you are a n00b lol...

Rice is...
Huge unnecessary spoilers on a FWD Car
That unnecessary exhaust that you want (get a real one, not some cheap ebay shit)
Big ugly body kits (lets face it, your car is ugly to begin with, it will only get uglier.)

Just save your money and buy something newer or do an engine swap. On a car that old youll run into more and more issues (mostly rust). Unless you want to keep the car for sentimental values or if you want to make it a sleeper. Sell it and buy a 7th or 8th gen.

 

haha..

Rice =
Big metal wings
ugly body kits
loud mufflers on 80hp cars
18inch rims on 80hp cars
painted interiors
chrome wheels
etc..

go on google and look up the word rice, I'm sure pics and definitions will pop up.

 

OK, seriously. We all start somewhere.

The reason you're getting bashed is because you're starting with a car that's not fast, not popular, and will take a fair amount of money/time/knowledge to make fast. You want a 'tuner' car, which is a phrase that usually focuses on performance/handling, but then say that you're more interested in cosmetic modifications--paint, body kits, making the exhaust louder without actually gaining performance.

This is what's generally referred to as 'rice'. Modifications that make your car LOOK or SOUND fast, but without actually doing so.

The reason you hear a 'roar' from tuner cars is generally that their entire air path has been altered--free-flowing intakes, free-flowing exhausts from the engine back. This sound is something you'll never duplicate with a resonator tip for your muffler, or even one of those cheap 'turbo' mufflers.

Performance is one thing, looks are another. If you're just after looks, don't make your car sound obnoxious (like the Civic crowd tends to) by doing nothing more than adding some ridiculous 6" muffler or tip. You've got a relatively unique platform for starting to modify, but it'll take work.

For body kits and graphics and the like, you could do worse than check out www.andysautosport.com for a decent list of what's out there. For performance, there's a lot you can do too, but the sound is going to be incidental to the increase in power if you do it right.


This has been my good deed for the day. =)

 

can an xB be a tuner car too?

 

Take a trip to Autozone or Pepboys and take your pick.

about time someone agrees with me

 

AhhhHAAAAHAAAA BWAAAHAHAHA
Ok Im back i can't believe so many people are investing there time in this...
So far i have done full stereo K-sport coilovers, 15%tint, custom 2.25in exhaust and intake and next i will be doing light race wheels and rear disc conversion.
that is how you do a god damn corolla dont shame us...

don't worry about spending more on paint than you did on the car!
