Did you notice a difference when you ported the exhaust?

thanks I will Im working on getting a turbo right now also

lol get the 01-02 corners too man lol

just ordered them not even 5 minutes ago

are you going to do ground affects like a lip kit or body kit? are you leaveing the tail lights stock?

Hehe, thats me. My car doesn't belong with the likes of cavaliers and luminas.

lol 10r you gave me the red out tailights idea , If I could find aftermarket prizm tailights!!!! its in the body shop as we speak getting lancer evo hood vents installed and getting the trunk shaved and a bunch of other custom things done before they paint it. It should be done either the day after tomorrow or friday. anybody have OTTO-R racing seats? they look really sexy lol and I need some seats for my car and there 300 shipped wth harness and all from procarparts.com I have clear corners from them and they were super-b quality! just wondered what yall thought of there seats. im trying to stay under the 500 dollar price seats and I want A PAIR!!!! in black and blue Kinda like the WRX seats

Paint it IS300 blue That happens to be my favorite blue of all time.

i hate when people cant figure out what kind of car i have, then they say, "O thats a chevy, what a malibu." i just wanna tell them to f off. were did you get your front emblem i hate the chevy one.

[qoute]Hood Pins to hold hood down and removed hood latch [\qoute]
Why do you remove the hood latch? Is that cf hood or just richer hood pins on stock hood??

why you talking down on me? its what I had to put up there for the hood to stay down the hood latch wouldnt match up so shut up if anything your a ricer

also learn to spell

whoa there chill out i dont think he ment it like that. i think he means that if you have a stock hood it is pointless to have hood pins. the radiator support on the prizm and corolla are identical. this is also where the hood latch is connected to the car. so what didnt line up? i would think it should be a perfect fit.

oh ok, my bad but my hood latch was f'ed up ne ways. It woulnt stay down without bounce up and down when i hit a bump and sqeak alot. im going to put better ones on there but yes they were the only ones I could afford at the time, anyone got any suggestions on hoodpins?

just buy a new hood latch and modify it if you need to to make it git. not haveing hood pins gives the car a cleaner look. IMO

no

Well now he cant go back cus he already drilled the holes into the hood. Either keep the pins or have holes in the hood, unless he buys a new hood.

whats the best type of hood pins to buy to replace those they are cheap 8 dollar ones that are rusted

trdracing, what problems if any did you run into converting the headlights and front bumper. hood and fenders are the same from 00-01 aren't they? I have a 00 priz, and would love to do this same conversion, only I plan to use the diamond black headlights and corners. Do I have to change fenders and hood? I thought they were the same. Also, were you able to get the headlight aim adjusters to work? I have heard some people ran into trouble in that part of the process

These kind of hood pins, made by Sparco are nice, I know other companies make this style also and might be less expensive...

Also, there are these, http://www.importprecision.com/aerocatch_hood_pins/,
they are alot more expensive but are flush and paintable and lockable

Ok here is what I Got to do a front end swap. I will make a diy in the next week or so

Parts Needed:

2001 COROLLA FRONT BUMPER COVER (or body kit)
2001 COROLLA FRONT BUMPER ABSORBER
2001 COROLLA FRONT BUMPER BRACKET RH (PASSENGER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA FRONT BUMPER BRACKET LH (DRIVER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA FRONT BUMPER MOLDING
2001 COROLLA FENDER RH (PASSENGER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA FENDER LH (DRIVER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA HOOD (Carbon fiber, or stock)
2001 COROLLA CORNER LIGHT RH (PASSENGER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA CORNER LIGHT LH (DRIVER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA HEADLIGHT LH (DRIVER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA HEADLIGHT RH (PASSENGER SIDE)
2001 COROLLA RADIATOR SUPPORT
9005 Socket (pair)
9006 Socket (pair)

The reason for needing Fenders is the holes dont line up worth a crap and wont bolt to the bumper. The Reason for the Radiator Support is same reason as fenders. The Reason for hood is because the stock prizm hoods are longer then the corollas stock hood. I used vamps diy for the headlights and the parts list and installation of bumper brackets. The Radiator Support is riveted on so you must cut it off, or Drill the rivets out (very time consuming) I didnt Weld the new one in place because once it was bolted in it was rock solid. the radiator can be removed if you want to make removal of radiator support easier. I just left it on. Make sure you have 2 to 3 days of free time on your hands to do this. Im only 16 so if this doesnt help i tried lol. I will take pictures of how everything is mounted in a couple days. Just make sure you have atleast 700 - 1000 dollars on hand to buy the stuff, I bought my stuff at a place in chesapeake, Va called HYLINK Automotive. I spent 600 dollars total on this project. You will need a paint job after this. I am getting my car back today from my dads shop so I will post some pics up of that too! I will try to make the DIY as simple and easy to understand as possible.

REMEMBER ALL PRIZMS ARE ROLLAS!
