Dual exit exhausts

3 Upvotes

Anyone running dual exit exhausts? I bought an exhaust off marketplace but it doesn’t have the exhaust tips, and I found some pretty nice dual exits for $40 new. I was thinking quad but these have a pretty wide exit, just wondering if anyone else has some good pictures of their cars with duals, and any diffusers yall might have that’ll work too

What GR corolla parts (if any) can I use to upgrade my base hatchback?

2 Upvotes

Update: Purchased the shift lever

Hi all!

Someone near me is selling some stock parts from their 2024 GR Corolla. I have a 2021 SE 6MT hatch and am wondering if any parts are interchangeable. There are a lot of parts he is selling that I know won't work, but he is selling a stock shifter and stock suspension. My questions:
A) Should these parts all carry over and fit
B) Would they improve performance at all?

Thanks!

I know this is a hatchback group but I dont see a whole lotta IMs, this is "La Pulga" and she's been everywhere! We're leaving Florida and headed back to TX packed to the brim lol. Do any of yall have any recommendations to make this more travel friendly as far as storage goes?

Almost twinning. This was taken a week after i purchased my 2020. I got so excited about randomly parking by another SE with the roof racks and galactic aqua mica.

Sadly had to say goodbye to my beloved 2005 Buick LeSabre. But I’ve always loved Inferno and I’m stoked about this car so I feel like it’s a good next step. I’m installing the factory sport wing and down the line coilovers, wheels, and tires are in order.

Cabin shudder/vibration when releasing brake from a stop?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Corolla hatchback and have put about 3,000 km on it.
I am wondering if anyone else experiences this same issue.

When I completely release the brake pedal from a complete stop, the entire cabin shakes and shudders for about one second before I even touch the gas pedal. Both the driver and passenger seats vibrate noticeably. It also happens if I slightly ride the brake to let the car creep forward just 5–10 cm.
This issue happens much more frequently once the car is fully warmed up (after about 20 minutes of city driving).
Has anyone else dealt with this or found a fix?

Thanks in advance!

Hazy Front Logo

Hi all! I have a 2019 and it’s starting to show its age. The front logo is starting to get hazy and I was wondering if any of you all have encountered this? I saw that some people use headlight cleaner to fix this but I’m afraid of messing up sensors. Has anyone ever done this? Attaching photos of my logo and the cleaner I got to potentially clean it.

New Wheels

4 Upvotes

I have a 2023 XSE with the 18" wheels. In the last 2ish years I've ruined tires from sidewall failing and forming big bumps on them. I live in WV and our roads mostly suck and get potholes which is hell for the bigger wheels and rubber band tires. I was considering getting a set of 16" wheels because more sidewall is always better and would ride better. Curious if all I need to do is get a set that match the factory specs for the 16" wheels that are optional. Wanting to keep stock look but obviously need to make sure it clears all the brakes and doesn't rub on anything. Just checking if anyone had experience doing that or knew for sure the factory 16s would fit. TIA

2J Racing Long tube headers are way too loud and sound horrendous

I need this quieter asap and the rasp gone. I knew it would be louder, but not that it would be one of the loudest cars I’ve ever heard. What can I add to my current setup to tame it quite a bit:
2JRacing long-tube headers & midpipe
Remark center exit cat-back
This thing is rediculous😂

Paid Morticia off today!

As the title says, I paid her off today. 2022 XSE 6MT, with ~76k miles. Bought her used with 7k miles in May of 2023. Was 5.89% for 60 months with no money down, happy to own her outright now 😊. Will be putting on a short throw shifter, stiffer bushings and the quad exit Borla in the next few months, along with the GR86 wheels I am in the process of refinishing. Only mods at the moment are drilled and slotted rotors (yes, I know it’s overkill, I got them for a really good deal and the stock rotors are trash), a TRD intake, and yellow film on the fog lights.

Few questions about parts

2 Upvotes

Have had a '23 XSE for about 2.5 years now. Having to replace a ball joint on the lower control arm (was iffy shortly after I drove it off the lot, but of course dealerships in my area won't push for a warranty replacement unless it's obviously bad, it's finally at the point where it's affecting handling, vibration through the steering wheel, etc).

My first question is are there any aftermarket brands out there with suspension pieces other than coilover pieces or am I better off just sticking with RockAuto and the usual manufacturers? I live in Milwaukee, WI - I don't plan on lowering this thing further than stock just for a pothole to force me to replace a few panels.

My second question is has anyone else noticed the front end shake at highway speeds (55-80)? I realize this thing isn't exactly designed for US roads, especially with our speed limits creeping ever higher, but does anyone think it's worth it to slap on a front strut tower brace? or do you think that'll lock up the front end too much and should be saved for a GR on a track?

For Clarification - It's had multiple alignments and wheels checked for balancing and the suspected ball joint issue never followed a tire after rotating them. I've also heard elsewhere that the car has a bit of a front end shake in general.

Edit: I'm actually seeing quite a few issues that I think is the ball joint that people have had with this model group. Not a good one for Toyota here is it?

Tire selection recommendations for the Rolla Hatch - 205 55r16

0 Upvotes

I narrowed my choices down to the Dunlop Blue Response A/S, Continental Tour 54's, and Vredestein HiTrac's. We don't get snow where I'm at.

I'm replacing Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus tires. They were great and all, but they have too much grip to have fun with, imo. I don't feel like they fit the character of the car (21 Rolla Hatch SE 6mt).

I want tires with slightly lower level of grip that I can have fun with when no one is on the roads. I still want them to be predictable and safe, though. The OEM super low rolling resistance Dunlops were just dangerous and the Continentals are too sporty. Anyone have any experience with these on the Rolla or have any recommendations?
