@azhule4041 3 жыл бұрын
It has a meh one right now, either you have to get some universal parts, or very few specific parts. There is a turbo kit, suspension, fuel system, but not much in terms of things like differential and transmission upgrades/mods without doing full swaps
@wtfdandisser 3 жыл бұрын
@@azhule4041 I hope at least the full swap gets a bit more attention! But I definitely wouldn't mind some more attention to the base engine itself! I was going between the GTI, R WRX and this and having been with toyota for a long while, I just couldn't jump ship.

This hatch is one of the most sporty - looking modern hatches and I really wish Toyota would make a more sporty model from the factory. Maybe a TRD? If they would stiffen it up a bit, maybe add a turbo or a better N/A motor, add a true functioning exhaust outlet and lower it a bit I would definently buy one. I'm excited to watch this project cause this hatch has a ton of potential. Stock from the factory it just feels like this car is only half - complete

Yea, I agree with all of you too. I mean, at the price point they're selling at it wouldnt cost us or them more to push out a sporty model. I'm thankful that we're still getting hatches in the US specifically with manual transmissions. The only two other hatches I'm interested in and would definitely go for is the Hyundai Elantra GT Sport or N-Line and the Kia Forte5 GT but in the US we don't get the Forte5 😭 if this just had a little more horsepower 30-60 more I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Plus they'd be in GTI territory if they went with 60+ more HP. This car is targeted at Gen Z kids with good Mommys and Daddies that'll buy them this as their first car. Not for the enthusiast and I think they got that wrong. Idk why manufacturers push out sporty looking economy cars but dont actually give any gusto to them.

I'm one year into owning. Currently sitting on RSR Super Down springs, 0 toe alignment, SPC camber bolts up front, Progress rear sway bar, and TRD intake. It's such a good chassis for cornering, I can't keep it off the back roads. Not to mention it's has 2 faces. Driving it to work/school/running around it is civil, and doesn't encourage you to drive hard. But throw it into some corners, and it's a new beast. A proper tribute to the 86 Corolla.

Before I got my ND2 Miata I seriously autocrossed a ‘09 Corolla (consistently PAXed in the top half of a 80 driver field). Modifications I did: 225 RE71R tires, custom Carbotech AX6 front pads, max negative camber in front using OEM adjustment bolts,TRD rear sway bar, Schroth Rallye 4 harness. The main trick to getting the car to be balanced is to LOWER the rear air pressure to 18PSI. There isn’t much weight in the wear and the stiff sidewalls didn’t complain about the low air pressure but the car just really liked low air pressure in the rear. And keep the RE71R tires under 100f

Thanks for the great video. I'm coming from a 2011 VW GTI that was totaled when a tree branch fell on it in a wind storm :-/ I'm picking up my used white 2019 XSE tomorrow and I'm excited. I went with the CVT even though in the past I've only owned sticks. However, for highway stop and go in Boston where I live, the adaptive cruise is much more useful with the automatic, especially for the low speed crawl and merge. So, I'm sad I'll no longer be driving standard, but some day I will get a project car :) Would throwing it around on a track be almost as fun as the 6 speed?

Great start to the series! I had one of the new Corollas as a rental car recently. I was shocked at the level of equipment included in the lower spec model. Lane departure mitigation, radar cruise, Android Auto, and lots of other stuff thrown in for a really low price. The rental car was a CVT which robbed some of the fun, but the car handled sportily and was screwed together surprisingly well. It will be interesting to see where you end up on the mods to keep it a comfortable daily but extract a bit more punch from this "warm hatch".
@K03sport 4 жыл бұрын
track battle -- ('20) Toyota Corolla Hatch vs ('20) Mazda3 Hatch; manual in each. develop stage packages, put the same tire on them and go at it head-to-head, time attack style. Each car has great potential, but are held back by their intended daily driver status. These could be soooooo much more than a daily driver. Set the up for B-spec/Touring Car B racing (minus the roll cage) and go to town. Show ppl what these cars are capable of with (simple) bolt-on parts. You build; I'll watch.

@Notabot2069 4 жыл бұрын
Why not coilovers ? Just wondering I have springs on my daily and compared to my friend who has his daily on coils there is a big difference
@MichaelCoolGuy86 4 жыл бұрын
The point of coilovers are to have advanced levels of adjustability for (mostly) track use. Ride height, dampening, rebound, camber adjustable top-hats, etc, etc. and at an increased cost. The reason I say lowerings springs are better suited for a daily is because... 1) The cost is significantly lower, 2) how often are you adjusting these settings on a car that you use to commute/get groceries/haul shit? 3) How harsh do you wish your ride to be? Coilovers have a tendency to utilize higher spring rates with linear springs, and dampening settings focused on a stiffer ride. Yeah, fantastic for a track car... but do you want to feel that over every speed-bump and pot-hole? You'll have a more comfortable ride, while increasing handling capabilities, with a simple plug and play install, all while saving money (most of the time springs/sways are offered as a package) with the following: - A set of lowering (progressive) springs with a mild drop and spring rate, - Matched to OEM shocks, or maybe some upgraded bilsteins/koni shocks, - Along with a set of sway-bars to stiffen up on turns, while maintaining a comfortable ride on straights. - (throw in some camber bolts for your alignment) I just think it's foolish for everyone to immediately jump to coilovers as the end-all, beat-all setup for every car. There are certainly times when coilovers make sense, but there are also times when they don't.
