Supercharged Corolla T Sport 225bhp

[limrene]

Just bought the lastest copy of the Auotcar magazine and there's an article about toyota is going to brought out all these performance enhancement kit for the Corolla T sport (supercharged), MR2 with Turbo etc..............

The guide price is going to be around £3,000 for the rolla t sport...

That's definetly bye- bye CTR or ITR...........!!!

[gramacar]

Is it going to be a new model or the long waited TTE supercharger kit?

[Tol10]

Hi, i read that article in the autocar magazine as well, BHP will supposed to increase to 228, with torque increasing to 184lb ft at 3900rpm, top speed 149mph. Sounds good anyway, but won't reach hear till end of this year though...

The silly thing is that Autocar says the 0-60 time goes from 8.4sec to

6.9sec. Since everybody knows that the real time for the factory

Corolla is about 7.3sec, what is the real time with the increased

power? Surely another 30-40hp is good for more that 0.4sec.

A Supercharger Corolla T-S has got to be saying hello to the late 5. Something mark as I have already had my corolla clocked at doing 0-62 in 7.1 seconds totally standard. I would like to think you should get a 5.8 / 5.9 as a 0-62 time

Had my CTS lowered yesterday by 30mm on TTE lowering springs, I must say it was the best amount of money I have ever spent. I now think it is the car it always should of been, handles so much better and look fantastic .

Now for the TTE alloys,

Oh man, when i read your post i wanna buy a kit to my CTS at once, but now it's winter and i think i'll do it in the spring B)

[Nick-Johnson]

I dont understand why Toyota put themself through all the bad press, and didnt have these spring fitted as standard .

Anyway all I can say it has improved the car no end, if you are considering having your CTS lowered just do it! I think I had a bigger grin on my face when I picked it up from the dealer yesterday than I did when I went to pick up the car when I bought it !

Well now you've done it! I've been dithering for ages over whether or

not to get the thing lowered. Thing is I like the ride quality on these

rubbish roads we have in the south. How do you find the ride now that

you've got it lowered?

Cheers

Paul.

:D :D :D

lowered the cts with tte springs is a must it look good and it does improve handing a little bit

but not a lot adjustable suspension is the one to go for if you got the cash

definitely need bigger wheel to go with it

if one need or want to fly round corner at insane speed :D

Hi Jerry,

I was thinking of changing the CTS for a new 04 Civic Type-R!

But after having the Corolla lowered 30mm I have totaly changed my mind. I wish I had done this ages ago!

Any little meets coming up soon I havent seen any of you for a while!

I will get some pics up ASAP I would think I do some at the weekend!

Hi nick

Hey I'm still enjoying my car mate. Just keeping them both cleans a bugger. So you nearly brought a civic type r. The new 04 model is meant to be better.

New improved front and rear styling and improved ride and handling. A enhanced engine response and acceleration due to a lighter fly wheel. And better and brighter projector head light for better vision. All sounds good to me mate

I really like the civic type r and would one day own one if i had the money.

Get those picture up mate so i can checkout you ride Will you be going to the gaydon meet in march? As i will be defiantly going to this meet

jerry!!

[dweiss]

Hi All

T Sport owner for a over a year now. It was a toss up between the Type R but happier with the excellent deal I got on ex demo car with full leather etc. and the slightly more forgiving ride on iffy road surfaces. 26k miles no problems

However, does need/demand larger wheels and a lower ride in my opinion. What do I need to budget for for the TTE lowering springs inc fitting?

Thanks

Hello fella,

I had my T-Sport lowered last weekend and it set me back £285 inc VAT.

It has to be said it was the best money I have ever spent! It is a different car when you push it hard and still the same if you drive normally!

do it!
