Depends which corolla.Quote:

E100? Who I was speaking to said it slaughtered the fd, any insight would be great.Quote:

My mate test drove the 9th Gen and a Corolla SX and said the 9th gen had no guts at lower RPMs, relative to the Corolla. He said he felt like he had to push his foot down more on the accelerator to get the car moving.Quote:

I'd recommend the Corolla over a 8th/9th gen.
Why? What about luxury wise to?Quote:

they're all fun wheel drive and suffer from fundersteer under power hehe
True True. When I drive mums 2009 Corolla its quicker down low but top end FD is hands down better.Quote:

I come out of a round about at about 40km-50km/h with m foot barely on the accelerator and its in second gear at about 4,000 revs.
As of Luxury/Comfort I'd pick a facelift FD2. Pre facelift is fine but im not a fan of the Grey leather. 2009 + FD2 for the black leather and sunroof
Apart from the gearbox Corollas are fun to drive. Zippy little things and handles VERY well.
runzo have u consider other cool small car
focus?
golf?
lancer?
Psssssssssss woooooshhhh....................hairdryer will be available shortly, makes fd slightly faster B-)
Nah not want lancer looks yukQuote:

Comparing to an FD however, handling, seating position and interior hands down is better than the corolla lol
Listen to dis man.Quote:

Any ideas to how fix? Any recommendation for double sided tapes and where to get? I got some epoxy from supercheap but it says it won't bond polypropylene which my rear lip is made of so I don't know if it would work. Anyone got experience with this?
Any help? Cheers
3M Double sided tape. Never go wrong with thatQuote:

hey guys, problem my wheel splash guard got ripped off....any advice?
Can you elaborate? LOL which product? Did you mean epoxy? The lip is made of polypropylene so epoxy doesn't work. Would urethane work? and which tape did you use? ThanksQuote:

I suspect the bottom of your wheel guard where the bumper is screwed in, is where the real problem is - you might have to stretch the bumper around the car a bit more so that it wraps around the rear of the car perfectly. At the moment, it looks too loose, which is why it keeps popping out.
Well it looks like my FD will be NA again sooner rather than later, like this weekend, so if anyone wanted a spin in the next 2 evening's speak up or forever hold ya piece !

I looked at the door skin and see there is a gap where you could pry a screwdriver/knife and pop the door trim out.
Once popped... Is there stuff to tighten to make said rattles go away??
Fank you very mucho
As in the front wheel wells?Quote:

Went and bought some double sided foam tape from bunnings.
Took the door trim off (after watching bullshit YouTube vids)
Once the trim was off I couldn't see many places that the tape would benefit. Put some in various places anyway.
Baby Jesus died for our sins.

Did you tape everything? Hahaha
Look behind the secondary plastic cling filmy shit?
dang hybrid interior looks good!
car looks sick in general nice job man
Didn't you say the rattling noise comes from the driver's side, lol why would you open up passenger side. I would start with applying foam tape around where the speaker makes contact with its housing if I were youQuote:
Originally Posted by threesix

but anyway IT WORKED WONDERS!! the only youtube videos were from american dudes with only one screw to un-do. ours have two screws (and the normal ones you pop out)
so i put Project Pat in.. pumped da bass up.. and its tight as ****. like new.
thanks again to whoever said use foam tape.
yup. took that off too. its stuck on with the blackest, gooiest stuff ever. makes a real mess if your not careful.Quote:

Cover all electronics and trickle water to rinse off any degreaser/soap you may have used to loosen dirtQuote:

I'm really liking the front ends of the hatches. I think they would great with the right wheels. The back end looks like 50/50 though IMO. I'm thinking of getting one.
Do it! There's one in the UK that UK honda/mugen did up and it looked pretty goodQuote:

It might get a facelift next year when the Type R version comes out, although its apparently unlikely.

still looks to0 much like an oddysey B-(
get a bmw 1serieQuote:

I'm getting high 6's atm. My rear tyres are almost down to the wires so that might have something to do with it.
Regardless I can get 600+ out of a tank easy. The stop start shit helps. Honda tell massive porkies about what the hybrid should get and what it does.
