02Rolla

I'm considering having a TRD supercharger installed (cost about $3500 plus cost of an aftermarket ecu) anyway i was wondering if anyone here had gone down the same track and if so what with a turbo or s/charger. Whats peoples opions on supercharging and turbos (what do you recommend for the 1ZZ-FE engine) ? Being a considerable some of money i want to be confindent that i made that right choice when i do go through with it. Thanks

well i ain't had half as many cars as some of you guys. First was a HQ kingswood Currently have: BJ40 Landcrusier (trying to sell) 2002 Corolla

I'm guessing about $650 ?

Because the oil filter will be filling up with particles that it wouldn't otherwise catch reducing the actuall effective filtering area of the oil filter, then again the extra particles may actually improve the quality of the filtration ?. Cars have been using magnetic drain plugs for years to draw the metal particles to the bottom of the sump so I guess that oil filters just can't filter fine enough.

Its not an actual oil filter, it clamps to the bottom of an oil filter and apparent last for ever(well according to that site anyhow). I wonder if it will reduce the life of your actual oil filter, it would have to i think.

Yeah by the looks of it i may just keep it NA and see how much of a performance boost i can get with out losing my warrenty. If latter down the track when my warrenty is almost gone i will probably look into superchargers/turbocharger then. I will have a talk to the toyota dealership i bought the car from to see what i can actually get away with changing, will prob look at getting a cold air intake, full exhaust system and extractor if they allow it.

Only reason i was interested in TRD is because I'm under the impression that fitting TRD stuff does not void your warrenty especially if its done by a toyota dealer like the one in Penrith. My car still has about 8months new car warrenty on it then after that expires i get an additional 3 years and that to me is worth a little extra. (For the record though i have no idea if Toyota Australia actually do offer warrenty when TRD equipment is fitted)

http://www.penrithtoyota.com.au/parts/proj_corolla_news.htm Is that a TRD supercharger or some other make ? the way they have worded it, it seems to be one and for the current model corolla. Whats the deal with corolla body kits, do they only come in set range of colours because my rolla is metallic red/maroon and i haven't seen any levins driving around the same colour or any in pictures. How much (if you know) is a ball park figure for a full body (painted if they don't allready come in the same colour as my car) Thanks Guys

Any good body kits available in Australia for the ZZE122R Corolla's ? if so do they have a website and how expensive is a full kit :P

Thanks Fellas It is my first corolla and i'm loving it, the engine has a suprising amount of grunt for a NA 1.8L engine (more then the civic and pulsar that i was considering along with this rolla) and having owned toyota's in the past i know that the build quality is of extremely high standards.

G'day people, as evident from my post count i'm new :P Anyway I picked up a 2002 seca ascent at the start of the week and I'm very pleased with the car. I test drove heaps and heaps of 4Cylinder cars in my price range and the corolla stuck out as the best by far IMO. Anyway i am just curious to know if toyota australia deal in TRD parts, i would love to wack a supercharger on my car but want to know if there available in Australia and if toyota actually fit them (or a toyota specialist) , and if they do, do you get a toyota parts warrenty on them like in Japan or the US. The car while lively still lacks a bit of punch and i want to squeeze some more out of it. ta
