I got the black XSE hatchback with the spoiler add on, saddle tan leather.. Most recent add on’s were the K&N air filter and OEM rain deflectors which look really good on this Hatchback. Trying to decide which 2.5” cat-back exhaust to go with and still researching a coil over kit to drop it about 2.5in. Desperately need an ECU tune, planning to boost this and build the motor to handle high boost, but thus far no one has pistons for this new engine yet, and custom pistons are severely overpriced smh. Fingers crossed for aftermarket manufacturers to give us something solid for this engine. That aside, I also need to get some shoes and a carbon fibre front+rear lip with side skirts. Aftermarket stereo soon as well, have to prioritize what to do when.

 

So I did the exhaust on my 2020 se sedan manual. I went to a local shop with an idea of what I wanted but the shop owner had a different idea so I went his route and well I hated the sound so I ended up putting the stock rear muffler on. So the setup was a res delete muffler delete with a 22 inch flow pro baffle pack where the resonator was and a fancy tip. So there was no drone but it just didn't sound good. Was loud on deceleration. My original plan which I might try this summer was a Magnaflow resonator with a 14 in Magnaflow muffler at the rear out to a tip. Also I probably wouldn't go larger then 2 1/4 inch as it's a small NA motor needs a bit of back pressure.

 

I put a 14 inch wiper on the rear. the stock 12 is too small, and was actually streaking already. 14 will increase visibility at the top of the window.

 

Gave her wash #2 . Never enjoyed handwashing a car until I bought this thing.

 

Keep it clean!



The Corolla hatch design is really well done IMO, and hand-washing it really lets you feel all the curves and styling cues the designers thought up! I read an article before about GM bringing in original 60's muscle cars and making the designers for the newer versions of the Challenger, etc. hand-wash them to spark design ideas for the modern versions... thought that was really cool!

 

Cleaned the hatch today~ It's my first time using the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Nearly screwed it up by applying too much, but I was able to save it lol. Next time, I'm definitely bring more clean towels.

 

I meant to get some of that stuff, I bought some Meguiars Quik Wax. I plan on applying it every other wash.

 

I tested the battery volatage today since its been sitting in the garage for one month. 100 miles in the odo.

 

Replaced most of my interior lights with LED's:nerd:

Now just need the center dome light to replace:grin:

Here is a pic for your viewing pleasure:smile:

 

I feel the center dome light is brighter for sure. The others have appropriate output as well

 

Washed her again! Have to keep that Blue Flame shining bright.

 

Got some LED bulbs for the interior. Only installed the license plate ones as they’re the easiest. Here’s a pic to compare the two. Looks great at night.

looks great! link to the bulbs you used?

 

Purchased a 12th gen in Blue Flame and CVT!


Switched the 194 and dome light to Philips LED.

Ordered OEM mud flaps.

I know it's a quick video but I finished around 2200 and didn't want to disturb the neighbors.

I went to a pick-n-pull and snagged a set of three note horns (High, Low, Super Low) from a 99 Buick Park Ave. Wired em up with an RL44 and it uses the stock harness as signal source so the wheel is still the horn, no extra button. Tomorrow I'm at it again to make some brackets for these sweet tunes. Much nicer than that wimpy stock horn.

 

Installed the Lamin-X clear rear bumper protector. Installed the OEM mud guards and OEM rubber trunk tray. Installed black leather with blue stitching OEM Lexus F-Sport key fob covers onto my key fobs. Not 100% perfect fit, but the fob fits inside and you can access the 3 buttons. Ordered WellVisor window visors since Canada gets OEM ones and we don't.

 

Installed the rear spacers on the HB. It’s flushed.

 

Here's what I did: Stock to current.

 

I went ahead and bought an OEM heated steering wheel switch and wired it up as a kill switch for my radar detector (and soon to be laser jammers)

im about to do this too, love the stealth switches!

 

The car makes 168hp, the hell you need a radar detector for? lol

 

I go on a lot of road trips, generally drive a good clip over the posted limit and Virginia State Police doesn't screw around.

Trust me, i'm not trying to race anyone in the Corolla. I bought the Corolla specifically because I got tired of daily driving my track car. I can always drive that when I want to go fast.

 

First was the Diono Radian RXT black/red booster seat

Installed 20% tint all around, clear hood protector, yellow tint film on the fog lights...

Black door sill plates just arrived...

Where did you get the black door sill plates?

 

Chadderbox, how easy were the plate lights to change?
Thanks!!

 

The evolution of my e210 hatchback build so far:
1. OEM equipped
2. RS*R superdown springs
3. springs + Volk TE37SL 18x8.5 +45 w/Yokohama Advan S-drive 245/40 18

 

I always loved the TE's look :heart: I had them on my Maxima once upon a time. Well done finding those for the HB!! Looks fab :thumbup:

 

Removed rear lower valance, muffler delete with dual outlet.

 

Freaking bad ass!

 

I bit the bullet and ordered the latest Seicane head unit. Review/install video coming whenever it shows up, hopefully next week.

I'm certainly looking forward to this. A how too when you install this would be a great help.

 

More Wraps? Sure!

I am starting to dislike the glossy plastics around the car... they get scratched up way to quickly. I cut them by hand, and they are not perfect, if I have time then I might peel them off and re-do them.

 

Are these carbon like plastic or vinyl wrap?

 

Vinyl wraps, I didn't want to go under and start taking the pieces out to wrap properly. I simply used masking tape to make a template and trim on the go. It's not perfect but easier for me to rip them out if they become an eyesore.
