List of Mods expecting to put on my car

why do u need a short ram intake for a turbo? And if you're putting on a turbo, you would probably need larger exhaust piping than 2.25.. and 18" tires on a 95 corolla?

hrm...18's on a corolla sort of cancel out the turbo...since you're not really going to be able to easily run the car on that size wheel.

and it will look like a mosnter truclk

not necessarily...that's good for show...but you CAN"T drag on 18's. nor can you do much else beyond drive slowly.

so what do you guys think? im opened to positive and negativ criticism

I have a list about that long and I've had it for a year now. Funny how the list of stuff I want gets longer by the day, while my bank account seems to stay the same... $100.

whats the boost gauge for? are you gunna turbo? also are you replacing all of your gauges?

yea im gonna put turbo after i finish installing the exhaust and intake system. yea im replacing all of my gauges to be white. my whole car is stock so there arent that many gauges in the dash

would this be a good setup to start off with?

oh yea and let me add this to the list, a high flow catalytic converter im gonna slowly work and get these parts one by one, i should be able to get the money to pay for these in about 2 months. i know by then the auction will be over but ill know which parts to be looking for

thanks hookedup96rolla, your tight theres about 7 pages of stuff for my corolla! your the best man!

my list went out the window

if you want, i can sell you my intake, it's the same as the ebay one you listed, and it's BRAND NEW, never installed..check my thread in the for sale section

For me it's which list? The I wish list? Or the realistic list? *laughs*

did you get that list from the ricer guidebook or something?

Samio,

My advice is.... : Do what you want with your car. And while you're building the money to work on your car, you're going to change your mind on a lot of things. The more research you do, is also going to change your minds. If I were you, I'd read as many of the modifications sections as I could. Get some ideas.

Also.... I would check out some of these sites so you have an idea of something not to do with your ride.

Ricecop
Rice Haters
Laugh At Rice
Rice-Boy

Most of the cars on those sites are there for a reason.

dude you are driving a corolla it is not a racecar. that doesnt mean you cant do performance mods just dont be a poser when it comes to the looks.

umm...yeah, ur'e gonna lose the intake if u go turbo anyways, and like someone said, u'll probably need bigger piping if u're boosting enough.


btw, u got a 5-spd, or 4-spd auto?

so what kind of intake would i use if i get turbo, and im not getting turbo any time soon, its gonna take a while for me to get money for these parts, then whenever i fee like im read to put turbo in im gonna start saving up for it but chances are im not gonna put turbo in for about a year

oh yea and whats the ricer guide book? and thanks for all the feedback

it's sarcasm.

damn......don't i fell stupid

even worse.....i spelled feel wrong

eh...don't sweat it. read my FRUSTRATED! post and you'll see what feeling stupid's all about.

hehe, how about these tail lights? do they look better than the ones i listed earlier?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...&category=33716

OMG don't do that first set...for the love of GOD don't do them...ugh.

HAHA, damn i know there ugly but.....damn.....and the second set...

the second set's pretty bad too.

what kind of look are you going for?

i want a kind of racing car look but i still want it to be a bit classy, im thinking of just making the stock taillights black like ive seen on some corollas but i dont know how they do it? i think its some kind of tail light tint

Hey man, I had a 97 until earlier this year when my sis Wrecked it, so I might have a few parts for you.

A few suggestions for starting off. Start small. Stereo and Suspension mods are great, since both really make driving so much more fun. If you want recommendations on Headunits, speakers, subs, I can help you out there. And suspension mods, at least IMO are the best! Talk about totally transforming the car. Try and pick up a TRD strutbar, if not just pick up a ractive one from ebay.

I have So much more to say, but im itching like HELL from my sunburn. If you have any ?'s just PM me
