fidgits Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Toyota have announced a 225bhp version of their Corolla, using TTE's compressor (supercharger) on the existing 1ZZ-FE 1.8 VVTi engine. The newcomer differs from the existing range-topper thanks to a deeper front spoiler, bigger airdam, distinctive twin tailpipes and 18-inch alloy wheels. Expected to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the hotter T Sport will be powered by a 225bhp engine. The Toyota will go head-to-head with the new 'hot hatches' such as the Golf GTi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danthuyer Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 there has been big talk of this over in the TOCAU forums....we are all very excited :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourneighbor Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 looks really nice, i still like the AE92 GTi body tho, wish i could find some for sale. any idea how much the 06's gunna be when it comes out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danthuyer Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Does anyone know what % of loss we have through our drive train in the CTS (sportivo) ?? Because if i go of that I have increased the power at my wheels by over 25% you can take that back to the engine so original at the flywheel was 141kW? 25% of 141kW = 35.25kW 141kW + 35.25kW = 176.25kW 1kW = 1.34HP 176.25 x 1.34 = 236.18HP Does that sound right??????

bluerolla22 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 looks cool but no offense the new subaru wrx hatchback catches my eye more with its massive hood scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidgits Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 well, I didnt know they did a WRX in a hatchback - I thought the WRX was only in the saloon.. Oh, and you cant compare the two. The Scooby is a 4-door, 4-wheel drive, 2.0 Turbo (with a flat four) - not to mention, significantly more expensive.. And yes, it has dramatic styling - but that doesnt mean its any better ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerolla22 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 very true fidgits but either way the new corolla hatchback will be shure to stomp on any golf in it's sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azza Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 This T-Sport Compressor looks awesome, but as Danthuyer said, there has been talk in Australia about it, but thats all there has been. I heard on the grapevine that we will never see it here... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidgits Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 NOS (you realise thats actually a brand, you should say Nitrous Oxide, or No2) is ovverated... Its the automotive equivalent of writing a web-page with Microsoft word - does the job but very unsofisticated and simplistic... Fast and the furious has a lot to answer for...

I've had three, and if Toyota is going to do this level of performance, why not step up to a new Supra? I don't want to have to buy a Nissan, Mazda, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinmaTsunami Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
