pics of my 02 corolla




Nothing done to it yet other than removing the pinstripes and badges but big plans for it coming this summer!

nice man i aways wanted the S the black interior is so beautiful ... auto or stick???

stick and yea i love the black interior

dam then i'm super jealous of you lol before i got my 98 i found a silver s just like yours stick and everything for sale on craigslist i wanted it so bad but the people didn't put a number just email and never responded to my 4869467 emails i sent lol so i settled for the 98

nice ride same color as mine.

its S model but wheres the alloy rims?

haha good question. i was wondering the same thing when i bought it but since i was going to get better rims anyway and i got a good deal on it, i didnt think much further into it

my S didnt come wit alloys i wish it did but w/e i have rims now so who gives

Rims is a option for the 8th gen s just like the 9th gens I see alot of hubcaps ones everywhere ... I rarely see a 8th gen with rims

give us a sneak peak on these big plans!

hope to see some mods soon!

then whats the point of buying the S model,when your not getting the whole package deal.

Some interior pics

This is my daily driver so im going to keep it simple, rims, swaybars, lowered, intake and exhaust ect... but nothing too fancy. hopefully most of it will be done by the end of the summer oh and a new stereo

my 99' LE came with the alloy rims and most of the S model i seen had alloy rims.

btw you need some interior cleaning

Wish my interior was black.

miss mine

where the fuck did it go?

had s model sold auction nov 08

custom exhaust

I recently did some work with my exhaust... sorry I don't have a video yet.
I put on the OBX header, installed a flex pipe, put 2.25" piping the rest of the way and installed a Magnaflow muffler.

I ran into a couple issues

The OBX header I ordered had a hole for the 02 sensor that was far too small! I ended up cutting the bung off and torching the hole to make it big enough for the sensor. Once the 02 sensor could fit, I welded the bung back on.

The factory clamp that was used to fit the old cat and exhaust manifold together wouldn't hold the bulge on the header to the one on the cat. I ended up using 2 regular clamps and kind of crossed them.

Since Im not very good with a pipe bender, one of the bends in the pipe I made was a little off and made the last half of the pipe running down the car sit a little low. After I put it up, I used a torch to heat up the pipe a little and bent it so it would sit better.

The muffler was a whole other mess. The factory ones are big and bulky and I knew I wanted a Magnaflow for its deep tones. I ended up rigging this Magnaflow muffler to the same strap. It is finished but I am still want to work with the pipe which is still not the way I like it. The muffler sits a bit low and angled down slightly. Im going to work on the pipe so that the muffler sits a little higher (tucked in) and having it pointed slightly up.

It is rock solid as it sits which is making me put off fixing those last little kinks i have with it. Ill get a video up as soon as i can. It is pretty loud but has a nice deep tone.

Looks nice. Post that video! I wanna hear it

Nice pickup man, funny thing is that I see a lot of those same hubcaps with the same scuffs on the same spot.

let me know if youre interested in kybs and teins , or even a skyguy lip kit, got some available :]

Thats because its from either hitting the curb or snow chains.

Nice Corolla. I like the clean de-badged look you've gone for. Looking forward to hearing what the exhaust sounds like. Should look even better once you tuck the muffler in a bit . Good work.

I wanna do your corolla in the butt, just saying....

shoot i wonder what happens when i put my toms rear lip on.... LOL jk

I also put a reg. K&N filter in and cut out pieces of the box. I actually did this before i touched the exhaust and it sounded just like a short ram intake. It did make an improvement, noticeably in acceleration. Now that the exhaust is on, you really cant hear the intake.

miss the hissing sound from the intake on mine as well, now just hear exhaust. but its not like the exhaust sounds bad, so can't really complain.

I have a 5E-FE engine weapon R intake in my car...

why the 5e-fe one? cause it's longer the metal part, and I have it sucking from the well beneath the brake booster, I can feel that shit sucking when I'm driving around the highway

Intake and Exhaust video

Sorry for the crappy quality... its an old video camera but it does the job. The sound quality could be better too but hopefully you all get the idea. There is a small leak in the flex pipe so at some point ill have to replace that part but Im in no rush. I hope to have the angles of the pipe and muffler fixed and the flex pipe replaced later this summer. For now this will do.
