hello all ive recently purchased this lil beasty mostly for commuting, im am surprised (was gona say amazed, but that would be an exaggeration) at its pockeyness (nippy) economy (40+ mpg) build quality and rust free-ness i found some cheap 14`s for it as the skinny 13`s scared the 5h1t outta me at the age of 34 this is my first injection car! i need some mods though as its as boring as fook to drive and need to attempt to use a little more petrol, so some q`s which corrolla do i need to get the intake manifold from? and is that all i need? no injectors or ...??? its a 96` and im sure ive read somewhere that an ecu from a slightly earlier model will be better,maybe fuelling or something?? i also would like to lower it,tempted to get the angle grinder out, but maybe someone has some old lowering springs knocking around? my only mod so far is a component set in the spare wheel, some ghetto engineering that my gay ass laptop wont upload a pic of ive more q`s but, well i cant remember oh, ive been in vans with more comfortable bench seats, fook there terrible, are there any easy swaps to be had? im concerned i may put a hip out if i corner too quick its only done 78000,and had the cambelt changed 10 years ago at 33000, is another change due? any why is it so expensive? my local garage want £225 to do it!! im incredibly tight so any insurance friendly modification suggestions welcome
