Corolla Sportif 95 Model

[e10-sportif]

hello people just wondering if theres anyway on speeding my sportif up, ive fitted a air intake and a exhaust system, i was just wondering if theres anything i can do to get some real bhp :) ( its a 1.3i 16valve if that helps )

Swap to 4E-FTE from Starlet Glanza?

i'm in the same boat buddy. i'd get pally with a mechanic if i were you, us car fettlers can do wonderfull things given the right equipment :) i'll let you know what i do with mine, but a good mechanic mate of mine who is awesome with car electrics a,d ignition mapping reckons he can get mine to about 100 bhp without too much effort. i'm still waiting to give him the car for the day, then we'll see...

[MBK]

damn why did i spot this thread, i only want it for racking up no claims as my 1st car, but some extra ponies is oh so tempting

[ace-'rolla]

is it just me or does it feel like a lack of grunt low down? my nova 1.3 used to fly off the line, bot the rolla feels a bit bogged. still, does need a good service...

[MBK]

thats probably just the weight difference, it doesnt really fly but there is a little bit of play from 1-3, after that there is nothing at all, i use mine to get me to work every day though so economy and cost of running was more a factor than "can it beat some numpty at the lights"

that and at 65k i should probably get it booked in somewhere to get the cambelt changed

[ace-'rolla]

anything less than full throttle is wasted, but i'm still getting around 40 to the gallon. damn good car, and it will show its worth on the french run this summer (driving to lemans in august, after the race(dammit)and meeting my family back up north, 580 miles on the first day alone...)

[MBK]

i get about 35 to the gallon on a combined cycle and whilst i may not always be flat out, the back roads to work just encourage me to drive like the car has probably never been driven (and tempts me to get some better suspension fitted if there was a financial point, as boy does this car roll)

1st up is the headunit, and it appears your threads have done the research for me, will also likely replace the door Speakers as the whole thing sounds well, 12yrs old, getting fed up of using some cheapo ipod fm transmitter

[ace-'rolla]

watch out if you hack the original loom to wire your stereo in, do not connect the wire for radio illumination. it kills all the sidelights and dashlights. if your not a cheapskate (like me), buy a connector for it(like i didnt)

[MBK]

nah if i ever get round to it (had the car 3 weeks and still havent washed it, so may take a while to get this done) then id get any necessary adapters, bar maybe for the aerial, cos, well, tbh, i can live without radio quite happily

[ace-'rolla]

i've had mine a week, washed it twice (but it needs a polish) swapped the cambelt, installed the 2 subs and 3 amps (that might have something to do with no grunt come to think of it...) and the aieriel fit mine perfectly. have you taken the Sportif decals off the side yet? mine half went with a powerwash, so the rest went last night.

[MBK]

the silly logo in it has gone, as they went pink...and seeing as my car is dark metallic green it didnt really work, the sportif se writing is still there on the door panels, will probably take them off come wash time, they really dont suit the colour of the car, but at the same time its nice to let people know it is a sportif se hehe

[ace-'rolla]

se? i dont even get that!

[MBK]

think the only difference is electric things, not sure

[ace-'rolla]

if youve got electric windows and mirrors, i'm gonna cry. i've just got he-man items!

[MBK]

elec windows, elec sunroof, manual mirrors still

[ae111sr]

if youve got electric windows and mirrors, i'm gonna cry. i've just got he-man items!

So that means yours is lighter without all those heavy electric motors more power per ton

[MBK]

well he countered that with all the ICE he dumped in the trunk :P

[ace-'rolla]

still got the big ***** 6x9's till i can afford some decent components for the back shelf to go in yet.

[e10-sportif]

hi how did the car go down with ur mechanic mate?? any luck with re mapping??

[ace-'rolla]

i dont see him 'til next week, and he's gonna start with a resistor in the air temp sensor. i'll let you know how it goes

[e10-sportif]

i've already got the air temp resistor done, not much improvement

[ace-'rolla]

noted, maybe i wont bother then
