    Corolla Tuners: What would you like to see?

    Alright everyone, I'm seriously considering getting heavy into the import tuning parts scene. I've been thinking about it for a long time and what I really need now is some feedback.

    What aftermarket parts are you missing for your Corolla? What do you already have access to, and what's lacking?

    YOU are the Corolla community, and YOU are the one in the end that will end up with these parts. What do you want to see?

    personally, I think a good aftermarket header would be awesome at the right price. I know theyre out, but just not for the 98-02 models. Im almost positive there are enough people out there that would pay for one if decently priced.

    how about a custom hood/radiator combo so that we (98-02) can use the 03+ supercharger?

    also, a good quality header would be nice.

    I had a similar idea. a conversion kit to use the 03 s/c with everything you would need. hood, emanage or powerFC that is pretuned. but I couldn't promise to buy one.. $ is always an issue.

    I would like to see some more stuff for the 93-97, like a LSD, cams, turbo kit for the 4afe, etc. It would be nice to have some options besides a full engine swap.

    Great feedback guys, keep this coming.

    The rear disk conversion is still coming and I've got people to test it lined up, but I'm having trouble tracking down the parts. I'm going to spend some serious time this upcoming week to locate what I need.

    Give me some examples of lip kits that you like on other cars.

    What size exhaust? 2 1/2" sound good? Mandrel bent? Resonator? What brand muffler?

    4A/7AFE turbo kit, that's a good idea. I think I'm going to pick up a '93-'97 and do some serious R&D on that. Stay tuned.

    Conversion kit for the '98-'02 Corollla to use the supercharger! There's a really good idea as well. I'm going to put that on the list.

    '98 to '02 header, check.

    Keep it coming. :cool:

    More parts for Corolla XRS. Cuz there's nothing really out yet, nothing officially.

    An adapter for the 05+ Corollas so they can fit the 03~04 TRD supercharger in their cars. (I think this shouldnt be that hard, maybe you can put this on the op of your list.)

    When I had my 8th gen, I wanted some more performance parts.
