    Im sure you took into account BYT's reputation and got a shipping quote for the conversion plate. Not to mention the dyno charts disproving the gains of the 2zz manifold on a 1zz. Yeah. That sounds right. Sorry man but you are missing a few things here. No disrespect.

    I'm sorry, there was a 2 hp gain? something not even noticeable.
    The dyno test was about about as much a waste as the manifold.
    I don't really care what you do with your car or how much money you waste into it, at the end if the day you realize you have a paper weight you can't even sell when it comes time to move forward which for some is a long ways away so they keep putting money into it.

    Ive driven a lot of other cars but I still love my corolla. And I find myself loving it more every day. I just cant wait for the turbo. And for the manny conversion. :D I call manual conversion before the year is over.

    I think only one person did that and that was drunksaru, so don't play the Honda card, hondas not much better than Toyota.

    I'm buying a civic next week hopefully and I don't consider that giving up.

    I will keep my corolla, it's the love of my life (as far as objects go), I will continue to maintenance as I have always done...it will probably out live me tbh. My corolla is my CAR, gets me from point A to B with no problems. I'm buying the Civic because I'd rather put money into a b16a2 opposed to my corolla. My corolla will forever be mechanically stock and run at max efficiency. rolla4lyfe basically

    thanks! oh gotcha, def do it.

    lol damn rain and i always forget to turn them off before i shut the car off.

    thank you #2 haha. i guess it was worth it to dremel that old grill out.

    that part left me wondering what i was gonna do to cover up the holes...i ended up using black vinyl to cover the holes and go over the area where the original grill was attached to so i didn't have to bondo anything...the white wire for my fogs is annoying me. I gotta lengthen it or cover it with black tape so its not so visible behind the grill like that.

    Yeah I put the stickers ($4 worth by the way) on my mirror a long time ago... And we all know about my rim being dented lol
    The roof rack is a work in progress, gotta get the rest of the pieces lol. I have used it to carry furniture on there already, so jody can't hate about an unused rack. And the clear side markers go so much better with the clear corners. Told you guys I'd do it :)
