NEWBIE need ur help..

[t_rider]

HI to all SIFUs here,

i'm a newbie..

i'm now owning a COROLLA SEG 1.6, AE101(auto)..

i wonder if any of SIFUs here can suggest me of how can i modify my car..

as in faster than usual... not changing my engine of course...:X-:

i know mine is an auto car... can it be modify...?

any nice shops can you all suggest to me to buy cheap parts and great services for my car?

thank you all!!!:regular_smile:

change to manual !!!

 

[EG9]

Keep it stock....just maintain it. Can't feel any power changes although u mod the exhaust or the intake system.
Just mod absorber, antirollbar, chassis strengthen, nice set of rim and good set of tyre.
Can whack corner much more faster with those mods although with stock engine. Another plus points is you no longer need to mod those part after you change engine in the future. No wastage on above mods.
If you mod on ur current engine. It's totally a waste after you change new engine in the future.
Just whack ur current engine and learn the weight transfer with ur current setup, then slowly upgrade what I've mentioned above.

Just use 15" with 195/50/15 tyre size and if u want more confortable tyre size ,go with 195/55/15.
Get rim with offset between (+38 - +32).

About the mod that you mechanic recommend, errr....in my own opinion, it's just WASTE MONEY! if you want real power increase. (Don't do it if you want to change engine in the future)
If you just want to feel very minor different and stay with the engine in future, just go ahead. (Don't expect any big power gain from there, you'll be dissapointed)
Just maintain it,change water pump, change timing belf set, change fresh engine oil, change auto tranny oil, change brake fluid, change brake pad, change ur chasis bushing. By now, your car is more then 10 years, definately need those maintainance.
Please bear in mind that you need to make sure your car in good condition 1st before you start to make it go faster. Many people ignore this point.

The flow should go like this: Maintain the car --- upgrade your skill --- upgrade your car.

yeah upgrade suspension first, if not later like me upgrade engine already but cannot drive fast also :-(

 

[tony_yeoh]

Sifu EG9,
me also owning a COROLLA SEG 1.6, AE101(auto). the buch and all the thing that sifu said be4 i alr have change be4.... My point is how to setup my suspension to become more stable when i go FAST...

 

[QiW]

looks like your only choice is to play with the suspensions laa ... since engine transplant and Gb transplant cannot be done ...

sifoo EG9 and GT20V already advised .. UPGRADE DRIVER 1st ... hehehehe

 

[wfhan]

er.. or change to more powerful car lor.
always.. power is not enuf one la..
if u got 100hp.. u'll want 200hp..
then later u want 300hp..
then later u want 500hp.. .. how then ???

 

[Feilo]

That time easy lor keep change the car lor...... if not change smaller rim size from 15 drop to 14 then 13 then lose control .......

 

[KHWONG]

[kayy]

i think he meant when changing timing belt,change the water pump also..cause its 1 time upah..cause if want to change water pump later..have to disasemble the timing belt and all the belting also..cause water pump situated near the belts
furthermore u can get new water pump..heheh
