[nrgizerbunny]

yeh ur strut is the T sport strut, where as my one is the TTE strut which is fitted into the T Sport compressor

[nrgizerbunny]

yeah but mine says TTE on it!?!

[chenks]

the one with the damper is the OEM fitted one on the 2005 T-sport which is TTE branded.. (not to be confused with the actual TTE strut available from TTE).

the new T-Sport compressor has the actually TTE strut fitted (not the damper version)

Call me cynical but does a strut brace make any difference whatsoever?

[chenks]

yes.... compare the t-sport that came out without it (pre-2005 i think) and the one with it.... very important difference !!... ie the car no longer handles like a blamange!

It's a pity you didn't see the strut brace from the facelift T Sport (ie with the damper) on eBay a few weeks back...

That looks REALLY great!

[acemiko]

im afraid i dnt hav the part number for it n e more, but u can always go on the TTE website and ask them for the part number, dnt use the part number from the actual TTE website, bcos that part number is for the (LHD) Left Hand Drive cars. im pretty sure all Mr-T charge for the same price, if not im sure u could order it from TTE themselves

Whats the website? Iv seen a few for americna modles but not sure if they wil fit the uk version as most of the american cars are saloons

[chenks]

Cool i found it on google yesterday after seeing ur post :-) Front splitter and springs look nice. Right and for my other Q - where can i get face plates from so i can fit my cd player - and also does anyone know how to keep the remote on the steering active?

[chenks]

autoleads do a fascia convertor.

as so far i found no-one that is able to convert the stalk-controls to an after-market head unit... so you won't be able to use them.

yup, i hav the front splitter, and springs fitted on my car, though that front splitter is actually designed for the pre-facelift corolla, but i fitted it onto my facelift corolla, springs makes a big difference from standard springs and adding the strut makes it handle even betta, im planning to fit anti roll bars to the car lata aswell to improve the handling even more. u can buy the faceplates on eBay, i need to buy one bcos im planning to get a new headunit soon and for the controls on the steering wheel, i cant and i dnt think n e 1 else can find where we can find the thing to make the controls work with an after market headunit

lol, chenks u always seem to post it a mintue or 2 bfor me :P

[Silver_Shadow]

Excellent stuff - i was thinking of taking that one and hiding it up the back - getting a new one and connecting it up without killing any wires.

Got any links of the facisa on eBay? How much did the splitter n that cost u? and yeah lets see some pics of your corollas :-)

[nightrax]

I've got a 2002 rolla so would that make mine an E12?

And does the strut make a huge diffrence if the suspenshion hasnt been touched and the car is as standard.

If its 2002 its an E12!!!

The easiest way to work your car out is via my simple manual!!!

Below is an E12

This is an E12 T Sport

This is the Facelift E12

(Notice Bigger Alloy Wheels)

(And Twin Pipe Exhaust System)
