Sweet IS-F....I think that's the same one that was at SEMA this past year. Love the paint.
Where's the actual pic of the 2000GT? I'd love to have one of those!!
apologies, picture did not turn out too well with the SoCal sunshine.

i need help knowing wat intake would be best for a celica gt-s 01 and also wat would be good for more torque
Welcome to TOC!
So you have a 2zz-ge Celica.
I believe Injen CAI, AEM CAI, or even a K&N Typhoon would be good intakes for your car and engine.
Unfortunately torque is not in abundance with either this engine or the 1zz-fe motors.
There is always the exhaust & port & polish OEM header to help the engine breathe easier, but nothing really to give it torque unless you were to go Forced Induction aka Turbo, Super charge or even Nitrous.

that's it.... the other pics not shown didn't trn out too well but all in all the event was quite fun.
Hope next year that more members from TOC can attend.

Thanks for the advice so far.
I was thinking of coilovers, I have been checking k sport as well as tein, which of the two would any of you reccommend, and how does coilovers improve performance.
Thanks
Coilovers allow you to adjust the height of the drop and most allow you to adjust the dampening of the ride.
It is possible to have a smooth ride with a lowered stance.
With springs you cannot.
Between the 2 coilover brands that was mentioned, I would suggest the KSports as they allow more adjustments on the dampening & are about $300 cheaper than the TEINs, which by the way are going to increase their pricing next month.

see you tomorrow!
I'll be there taking pics.
Expect the pictures posted Monday!

Welcome to TOC!!!
RHD?!
Nice...
I can speak of the US models, but I believe KSPorts has a full coilover kit for the Corolla, I don't know if it'll fit the RHD versions though.
I would recommend coilovers as you can adjust the height and most of them allow dampening adjustments.
You can still keep your OEM setup in the garage or shed if you ever decide to go back to stock or if you ever sell the car.

Depending on the car, it might be that your A/C filter is clogged up/very dirty.
I'm NOT talking about your engine's air filter, I mean your A/C filter which is usually behind the glove compartment.
Filter replacements acan be found @ the dealer, but I am finding them also @ your local auto parts store usually under the Bosch brand name (less expensive than dealer pricing as well.)

A bag of 100 zip ties = 1 cargo net.
FTW!

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin.
Means Toyota is aware of a problem, has a fix for it (usually), and may possibly offer warranty coverage for the problem if your car is out of factory warranty. For example, there was a TSB on my 2007 GS350 for excessive brake dust. The fix was to give me an entirely new set of rotors and pads that didn't give off as much dust. Brakes usually aren't warranty items as they are wear items, but these were covered.
Let me add that TSBs are free MOST of the time.

Yeah, it's a toss-up between performance and longevity...which is more important? The softer, stickier tires are (depending on the application) quieter, ride better, hold the road better, etc., and the harder tires last much longer but are prone to noisiness and a rougher ride.
True,
but honestly these Kumho tires have been quiet & the ride is so smooth.
Best of Worlds in my opinion.

Toyotafest this Saturday!!!!

Good thinking. I might go down there next paycheck and see. It's annoying to have little groceries in the trunk which fly around.
maybe the cargo net for the Matrix will fit in your Corolla.
-
Wish I knew about this when I got the Matrix.
The OEM tires for the Matrix, especially the Continentals wear out too fast.
They are supposed to last about 40k miles, my OEMs were going bald @ 25k with bad "cupping".
Meaning the tire wasn't as round as it could be.
Still I went aftermarket with Kumho ASTs and bigger size rims and am loving it ever since.

Might be an issue with the Drive By Wire Sensor....
If I recall correctly the 2005 Corollas had a throttle body with no cable just sensor control.
Check with the dealer on this, there may also be a TSB.

Since your Corolla is the new 09's stick with dealership oil changes for now.
Better still if you are mechanically inclined you can do the oil changes yourself.
I would recommend the OEM oil filters though over aftermarket name brands like Fram or Wal-Mart specials.
But the the 2006 Corolla owner should look into changing his own oil or if he knows a reputable mechanic shop to go there.
$60 oil change better include synthetic oil use as with regular oil and filter change In My Opinion should cost around $20 - $30.
