My Corolla Runx

[Gar_vRS]

well ir ecently sold my AE111 and bought this corolla Runx...i found out a few days after buying it that there was a limited run of TRD m sport runx's which i have...the differences are the TRD sportivo suspension, TRD rear anti roll bar, TRD T3 wheels, TRD sango backbox, xenon headlights, all the bodystyling and supposedly 15ps more than the standard car...the vvtL-i on the plastic engine cover is also red instead of silver...i will be putting it on a dyno in about 3 weeks so i will know for definate then...since ive bought the car about 4 weeks ago i have had it out at one trackday and it suprised me...was very good on the track...

i have also added a few parts...

JVC headunit

uprated door Speakers and tweeters

Falcon evo4+ alarm with remote start

Razo pedals

apexi RSM(black)

apexi rad cap

c-one panel filter

c-one oil cap

c-one engine damper(waiting on from japan)

C-one clutch and flyhwheel(only ordered today)

Hmm wonder how this one compares with the EDM/UKDM T sport since this is japan built so some parts be quite different, so did TRD modify the performance then or jst looks/handling?

i would love to know...i did a search and the trd m sports are supposed to have 15ps more...about 10bhp there abouts...im leaving the performance standard until i have it on the dyno...if it gets less than 190@the flywheel i will be a bit dissapointed...i know the lift engages at bang on 6000rpm...the ukdm one dont engage till 6200rpm dont they...and im not sure what the ukdm one rav up to but mine limits at 8650rpm....

was reading it too quickly i thought you said 'all the bodystyling supposedly give 15ps more than the standard car' lol i thought that cant add more ps lol, that be quite close to the CTS compressor! would of love one of these shame not many in UK only ever seen 2 of them here

it will easy have more power - you got them high comp pistons, if lift kicks in early you got trd ecu too? cant believe you track her but thats me. i noticed the rear tints - i've stripped the rear on me GXi and really need to tint the back a lil bit - only thing is i really dont need pulling, whats the score with the bizzies and rear tints?

not sure of the ecu...dont think its a TRD one...there wer no markings on it when i was wiring the rsm in anyway...

i wasnt meant to even bring it on the track....just went to watch and was offered space so i took it out...was only out for a few laps...

the tints were standard as far as im aware...only the back doors and back window...

ae102 - You can tint the back end of your car to you hearts content. All legal.

I believe the current allowed tintings on the front has to let 70% light through the windows (safety thing, also so they can see you're wearing your seatbelt).

But as I say, You go to Limo Black on the bakc and they cant do a piddles.

Nice car that, certainly very rare

Watch out for the kerbs with the splitter, she looks low.

AE102, you should be ok with the rear tints the feds only seem interested in seeing the driver.

ye its very low...the guy i bought it off only got it sprayed before i bought it.....im more worried about the wheels...being forged magnesium...they cant be repaired...

Surely the VVTLi is built for a bit of abuse, look at the track cars that use 2zzge....I cant see the odd lap doing much harm and hes running quality redline oil too...
