I've heard of people taking the entire front clip off a 101 levin, but not just the bumper.

Man.... But still. Hearing something like a defective rod in a toyo is crazy! I'm glad she wasn't hurt.

That depends on the engine code. Some Celi's were build with a 4a/7a class engine. If that's the case, then they would fit in the rolla. But they're the same engine, so it would be pointless. Also, if it's a zz class engine, then you'd be better off swapping the whole engine. That is to say, swapping a 2zz-ge from the Celica GT-S with your 1zz-fe. The 2zz had alot more after market options btw.

The 93-97 US Spec rollas are basically the same. There are minor differences in the engine bay set up. The best idea is to get a Chilton or Haynes (or better yet, a toyota corolla dealer repair manual disc) and work from there. The 4a and 7a (1.6 and 1.8) are identical bothers (except the displacement and engine size) and should be a direct swap. I would check with the main guy at www.phoenixtuning.com for more details.

Ahoy Fellow TOC'rs! I have a question. I bought a grounding kit off ebay, for my US-Spec AE102 / 4a-fe. Can anyone tell me where the grounding points are?? Pics would work great too! Thanx. ST

The 7a-fe(1.8) and the 4a-fe(1.6) are identical engines (4a family), except the 7a, is almost 200cc larger, and the stroke x bore are different. Other than that, the bolts and whatnot are in the same places. However, I would check your exhaust port sizes to the head before buying headers. But other than that, everything should fit fine. However, it may be beneficial to you to do a whole swap to the 1.8 You can find some at your local junk yards or pick -n -pulls for a decent price. And make sure you pull from a DX.

Having said you have a 4a-fe, then I would suggest looking into swapping in a 7a-fe. It has almost 200cc over the 4a and roughly 15 more hp. That being said, there are more mods available for the 7a. I'm running a 4a with a header, high flow cat, high flow muffler, short ram intake, ngk denso iridium plugs, 10.2mm wires and I'm probably running 115-120 hp (optimistically) And if you are dead set on a turbo, then I suggest looking at these. sfx Performance has kits that are decent prices. You'll still have to check fitment though. Anyway, I hope this helps you out.

Can you imagine how expensive that would be? A MK4 Supra used is still over $30k Blue book.

But wait.... There's more!! Apparently Fast and the Furious 3 will be taking place in Japan WITH drifting!!!! Yeah, it does have alot to answer for. Especially since Nitrous Express is a better product.

That would be cool if we had that in the US. We don't have the hatch version of the Corolla. Ours are all sedans. And the most powerful production corolla here is approx 170hp with 125ft/lb of torque.

I recently had to have my temp sensor replaced because it burned out. My car idled really bad because the sensor told the computer that the car was always cold. So it always gave it extra fuel. If this is the case with yours, I would have the sensor replaced, and your fuel filter changed professionally.

I'm already a member there with the same sign-in. :P

On the USDM 93-97 Corollas , the tail lights just pulled straight out. However, go to your local auto store and buy a Chilton or Haynes.

My green 97 base with 3 spd auto shows a ajor difference with an intake and an exhaust. You can get headers / downpipe, highflow cat and a cat-back off ebay for reasonable prices.
