Agreed but 4AGE even push to max also very difficult to gain high HP... Muz face the reality...

*none of tuner builded high hp on 4AGE unless u charged it!!! If really got $$$, ask Tom's or TRD custom for u(i posted a levin ae101 tom's track car at Rare toyota, tat's the one i'm talking about)!!! But really worth?! Decision made on u:)

p/s: if ur fren use it as daily ride, ask him turn off the idea. juz my 2cents. if his second ride, do consider wat i mention above.

Ok la.. i'm not a pro.. but i'll do my best to give advice..

1st of all, u need to set a target.. example : NA or TURBO.. daily driving or track car..

2ndly, set a budget.. say RM20,000

then u can search for parts..

4AGE has a lot of aftermarket parts.. u need to study them b4 buying.. if not, ur car won't perform as what u liked..

POWER vs MONEY.. NA requires a lot more money if u wanna tune it well.. that's why people tends to go for Turbo setup.. easy power gain with lesser money involved

everything has pros & cons.. good & bad.. so, u need to compromise.. give & take.. study them b4 u go buy them..

pls keep us updated

common sense dictates that a 1996 corolla is nearly 20 years old already...dont forget to reinforce chassis itself...dont focus blindly on generating power only... :)
