-xeno-

probably a little more than 2g's since i got it.

Welcome to the board ... I havent spent alot since I jus have a grill, strut bar and CAI... Im gettin springs and header, so thtll b alot ..

grill and paint $100
silverstar bulbs $40
shift knob $90
interior paint $20
lowering springs and tools $200
TRD wheels $798
TRD muffler $420
TRD CAI $222
New headlights(after i melted the first set in the oven :x) $500
old exhaust and installation $150

Total $2,540 and still going.

...hmmm I haven't spent that much just yet

- Sylvania Silverstars High and Low: $60
- Osram All Season H3 Fog light bulbs: $31
- TRD Strut Tower Brace: $120
- Hotchkis Sport Sway Bars: $269
- Hotchkis Sport Springs: $150
- TRD Shift Knob: $25

...I still need 17" wheels and tires, struts, rear member brace, clutch and flywheel, LSD, hyperground wires, carbon fiber interior trim, miscellaneous badge work, grill, header, exhaust, and I'm still trying to work out the intake, and supercharger thing (will the TRD blower work w/the AEM CAI).

thats beautiful, i cant wait to start doing stuff to it. i have about 300 in cashat the moment. what do u think i should do

save a hundred more and do springs

about 23,000 into my car!!! Do the drop first then it all depends on what kind of look are you going for. Show or Speed? Then thats how you should spend the rest of the money you have. And if your intersted I have the s lip kit molded on to the front and back bumper that I am looking to sell.. Just a Idea

$23,000 :? got any pics?

i wanna see the pic too :roll:

$0, unless you're firguring gas and oil into that equation.

I have Silverstars (main and dipped) that came out of my M3, since I converted those lamps to HID's. Other than that... I switched to Amsoil 2000 0w-30 at 1k miles. I don't want to mess with the car and have to haggle with the stealers when something goes wrong. I'll wait until the warranty has expired and then explore my options. I will get TRD springs (unless someone besides TRD produces a better shock/spring kit) and better rubber after 36k miles for sure. I'm still looking into HID's...

how are the hotchkis sway bars and springs? i am thinking bout getttin the TVS they got for it but a im still skepticle. hows the ride with those springs and how much handling improvement do you get fromt he sway bars? thanks

why?!?!?! why would you spend that much on a corolla.... that's just not practical unless your a professional driver..... that 23,000 you claim better include the cost of your car :shock:

and no... do not do the drop first then decide which way you want to go like he said. Decide first, then do whatever you need to do.....

if i was going for show, i would use that 300 towards a body kit.
if i was going for performance, i would put that money towards suspension first...
