Dude. Your car. Your money. Your passion. I have the deepest respect for you. Keep it up.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I agree with this dude right here! I got the respect too. I rock a 19 Impreza Sport sedan, nothing fancy, basic not a lot of tech but great AWD and reliable...... but I have wanted to mod it as well, maybe a turbo, maybe nameless axel back for that subi rumble. no I'm not gunna win any races etc but as long as were happy and enjoy our rides thats all that matters.
Thank you, it’s your money, your build, your passion. I’m happy we have people like you who do different things. If we didn’t have you in the car community we’d all have the same cars with the same mods. Might not be for everyone but it’s for someone and that’s all that matters.
This is what being a car enthusiast is all about. It’s not always what car that you have to get you going on such a unique journey but it’s more often than not that it’s what you do with it. Car culture is for everybody who love the many different varieties that the lifestyle may cater towards. Some of us love antiques or vintage or classics, others love the aesthetics or mechanical elements of a car or the ability to communicate and interact with others. It’s always been a pleasure to share these pleasures of live with each other. We all drive the same road but in the end it’s not always leading us to the same destination and that alone makes it worth the inspiration to take the step forward to stray from the common path and it’s okay to pave our own paths. I can’t speak for others but I can say I’m proud and happy for you and your Corolla build. Follow your heart and you’ll never lose your way.
Yeah man I couldn’t of said it better myself. Perfect response to this video!!!
It’s sad that people hate on this and have no respect for the fact that you put your blood and sweat into this. Regardless if it’s a car that I like or not( I love the build) I will forever show respect towards any build because it means something to that person. Fu** them haters. Can’t wait to see more of this build.
Thank you! I appreciate it! 🙏
@@BrandonStellmachI have a 14 Corolla 1.8 2zr-fe engine. Does your Corolla have the same engine and what other mods to turbo need to be done ?
@@jmaverick0807 yeah I have the 2ZR as well. And the kit comes with everything you will need.
But I would recommend upgrading the clutch if you have a manual because mine does slip under power.
Keep it up bro
These are the type of cars I would like to see over typical common car builds like the Supra, Skyline, Corvettes, and others.
These guys are the better group of the car scene, because they are willing to get creative on cars with lack of aftermarket support (or an abundant support) and build awesome builds of less popular or everyday cars.
Like Tony the tiger's Camry, or that mid engine Eclipse or Neo's AWD 4th gen Eclipse. There's also a Corolla similar to this build from South America (I think) who has put over 600 HP many years ago.
Being a sane, level headed, car enthusiast, who genuinely enjoys his affordable car challenge (PASSED 100th PERCENTILE)
This is very true! Nothing special, just making the best out of what I have!
@@BrandonStellmach Finally, you are what I consider to be a true car enthusiast. All Ive been seeing is these people who drive cars that have been modified/tuned by someone else.
@@bageltondinglequandaleseba6928
Yes it’s especially weird when another human helps another human insert a part into a machine, I hate seeing other humans do that. I much prefer witnessing a human put a part into a machine by himself and use said machine
Some people may hate it but its way more interesting to see a build like this then any stanced out 240, lots of respect
I agree! Love seeing something out of the norm!
I have a 240 and a Mark II and I still like watching these types of builds. It's awesome seeing what someone can do when there's not a whole lot of aftermarket support
I'll never understand why people stance sports cars. Besides making your car look stupid, you're taking the *one* thing sports cars are good at (going fast), and ruining it by not letting your tires grip the ground properly. Not to mention the fact that you can never go over a speed bump ever again.
Somebody please explain to me why anyone would stance their vehicle, other than the fact that they're young, dumb, and don't think things through before doing them.
@@Psythikyou are westernized too much my man, you have no taste in cars
No offense but you are probably new to cars, and don't know why you like old cars, probably because every carguy loves them
You just go with the flow and what's trending in cars
Respectfully tho
People stance cats because they look good for some
And I'm one of them
Let's say you are gay
I'm straight
I would obviously say, why do you like a man when the whole creation of life to fuck the shit out of the opposite gender not bounce on another man's cock
Calling him, while you should have a woman calling you
I hope that makes my argument valid
I'm not fighting I'm just sharing my view
Dude this is sick. Doing all this work yourself and learning things that brought you out of your comfort zone is respectful. Any true car guy you meet will respect what you’ve done with your car
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I would have never installed any of my mods on my corolla if it wasn’t for you. Not only are you just having fun, you are teaching other people how to work on their cars and that’s awesome! At the end of the day, we’re all just trying to have fun in life. Keep doing what makes you happy!
That’s great that I was able to help give you some ideas for your corolla!
Im always been trying to help everyone as much as possible!
i have mad respect for this man. keep doing it bro. people keep forgetting to have fun.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Real car enthusiast always respect all builds !! Kudos to you man !!!
Exactly! Thank you! 🙏
There is a grey area like all things in life..... I won't respect a build that chops and ruin's a minty survivor that should have been appreciated for what it is.... Any build that is built for attention or for other peoples reactions instead of for yourself. Certain car cultures like the Sema restormods, RWB, stance, ViP, bozosuku, donk, bro truck, etc are all gaudy to varying degrees and I find them disgusting.....
As a vintage motorsports enthusiast I don't care for your modded s2000, I believe that car came perfect from the factory and it's flaws give it character.... What I find interesting are the builds that are different not typically done.( Like this video)... Finding a good detail of a undesired car and exploiting it. Like the Toyota XRS with the 2zz high rever and rear double wishbone, or any VW with that glorious sounding 07k engine.........
I am 54 years young and it is people like you that we need to keep the spirit alive. I am a auto Technician and have been building cars for 35 years mainly turbo cars. I applaud you for what you are doing and remember it's your build do as you like haters will hate lol.
Keep doing what you do bro! You've inspired me to do all these mods to my Corolla! Nothing but love!
That’s awesome! I’m glad I was able to inspire your to mod your corolla!
Mad respect for this build I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while
Thank you! I appreciate it! It’s a long coming to finally be able to turbo my corolla! But definitely made it really fun to drive!
Buying a car you don’t know how to drive and having someone test drive it for you. This guy has the biggest and most humble balls on earth.
bro you're a legend, I like the corolla platform and I wish they did more with it. You not only did what Toyota was too afraid to do, you went above and beyond and did what others wouldn't dare do. I love everything about it man! sick build and the best part is seeing that smile. Nothing better than that.
Thank you! I really appreciate it! It’s one thing that I have been enjoying and still love modifying this car!
well now we got the gr corolla and it's definitely making waves
@@scottb4104 yeah the GR corolla seems like it’s been doing great! Hopefully they get the reliability out of the engine and it is something Toyota can keep producing!
Sadly people will always find something to hate on. Keep it up bro, not everyone has a sports car they can modify and have to settle for their little commuter, so people like you inspire us to still appreciate our cars and find ways to improve it.
The thing haters don't realise is you are gaining news skills by experimenting on and modifying your car.
There will always be someone with deeper pockets and faster cars. The fact you are enjoying that corolla platform is great.
I'm driving a 20 year old Corolla with nearly 300ks on the odometer and sure it's not perfect or fast but it's a fun practical daily.
Keep modifying it mate and be proud of yourself and what you've achieved.
Exactly! Being able to learn new skills and being able to implement them with many other projects is great!
But yeah that shows you how good and reliable Toyotas are. Being able to have a 20 year car driving great!
@@BrandonStellmach yep, I see many forum posts with all these new cars and the problems the owners experience and the way the car dealers treat them and I'm thankful my old bus is problem free. People hate on my model because it was assembled in South Africa but it's held up fantastically.
@@desirabledrives44 exactly, if it works and is doing what it needs to do, then that’s what makes it great. Doesn’t matter if it’s a a brand new car or a old car.
Funny. You are more of an enthusiast than most who do buy more expensive/idolized cars
Good work, man
I gotta say thanks for all you’ve uploaded you’ve helped and inspired me to work on my 13 Corolla haven’t gotten far but I know anytime I need info I can always come here and see you’ve done a video on it that’s been so helpful and I can’t appreciate you enough. Thanks for all you’ve done and the people you’ve inspired keep up the great work.
That’s awesome! I’m glad i have inspired you to work on your corolla!
Im always try to make many helpful videos for everyone who needs some help!
You are what the car scene embodies; taking any car and making it what we wish for it to be, no matter the comments people make. I have a corolla myself and turboing it is amazing!
You gave me inspiration to modify my first ever car "a 2013 Toyota Corolla le" and do it myself and get into modifying and adding accessories. I didjt wanna touch my car cuz I didn't have confidence but I said if I don't do it with this one I won't ever dare to on another and I want mine to look alittle different even if it's not a "great car" but I can say it's brought me to the doctors and back when my mom owned it and I had cancer at 13, coolest thing about it is I get to be it's second driver, and give it a second life and new purpose.this was the car that got me to the hospital day or night, fog or clear, snowing or dry. I'm going to be so sad when this car eventually goes but for what it's worth I've had so many fun times with friends, gotten even more attached to it though modding and I feel the same way as him, it's a lame amazing cool uncool car.
That’s an amazing story! Love to see the inspiration that goes beyond just a corolla.
These corollas are a very reliable car that you can always count on no matter what!
My first turbo car was a 95 Saturn! I felt good turboing that car and I learned a lot in the process. Yeah, people gave me shit, but I felt good because I had to grind that build. Nothing was manufactured for it. So, hats off to you for going in a different direction!!
That’s awesome! It’s always nice to be able to make a fun interesting car. And use all that to learn a bunch of things for any future builds!
You truly made this car your own. Once again good on you. Enjoy it and all of the work you have put into and all that you have learned from it.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I have tried to make this a great and fun daily driver!
This is so unique bro!! One of the biggest reasons why I bought my Acura TL was the manual transmission. Totally worth it.
Thank you!
And that’s awesome, don’t see many modified Acura’s. And seeing that it’s a manual seems to be a rare option!
I feel you on that first note, I had to teach myself mostly everything I learned and im a mechanic. I found doing any mod on any car is just fun period. Also people think speed is everything, But when you can really get it nice and stiff for turns, its 10x more fun and skillful. Im planning to modify my 2012 corolla s, not turboing it, but suspension and air side of things sounds good to me to make it a little more interesting.
Yeah, my family never had manual cars, it wasn’t popular when I was learning to drive 10 years ago!
And exactly speed doesn’t always mean fun. Especially if you daily drive your car, most speed limits are only 50MPH. So it’s not like you can go fast without getting a speeding ticket!
But I plan on getting some extra chassis bracing for my corolla soon!
You inspire me to mod my 2010 corolla LE, ever since i’ve seen your first video on the corolla i’ve wanted to mod mine, thank you for the inspiration man, i have haters too but because of you im not going to stop
That’s awesome to hear that I inspired you! Love to see others modifying their rollas!
My first car was a base model 2010 Corolla. Over the last 5 years I’ve upgraded all but the power. It’s such a fun car to drive now and I can’t wait to turbo it!
Great build keep it up!
The turbo makes it like a completely new car! It’s a great upgrade!
This is the best way to start. Well thought out and incremental upgrades. Good job man.
Thank you! I appreciate it! 🙏
you are the embodiment of a love for cars. no desire to follow a cookie cutter trend. as long as it makes you smile
Although i have a 2012 corolla S and it was quite different from the parts you would get, i still adapted and modded my corolla with the help of your tutorials. My corolla wouldnt have been as fun to drive and look at without your videos. Thank you so much for what you do!
Thank you I appreciate it!
And that’s awesome that my videos were able to give you some help and ideas for your corolla!
We modify cars to increase not just the performance but also the joy, and not just the joy of driving but also the joy of doing the modifications. If the Corolla makes you smile when you drive it, then you’ve nailed it. Keep it up. 👍
Mad respect to you man, you are the true definition of a car hobbyist!
Thank you! 🙏
It makes you happy. Don't worry about the rest. And the "turbo giggles" at the end were the best!
Hey Bro you're a pioneer for the Corolla, i have the same car and i love seeing all the crazy fun mods you've been doing. Keep it up !
Thank you! I appreciate it! 🙏
Your an inspiration to anyone that cant afford a golf r, type r, e36 etc........ there's a multitude of other cars than hondas old Nissans and bmws... really appreciate your. Videos
Thank you! I really appreciate it! Like you said not many people can afford those cars, so getting a much cheaper car and modifying it is a much better option for many!
All imma say is , if it wasn't for you. I wouldn't had the courage to fix my corolla. The fact that your building one for fun, gives me confidence to build mine. Thank you for doing this bc I respect what you love. I can't understand why people would hate on someone's happiness. You keep it up man, thank you for doing what you do bc your awesome.
That’s awesome! I’m glad I inspired you and gave you the confidence to work on your corolla!
But thank you! I appreciate it! 🙏
This is my type of build. Different, and it shows that you can truly make just about any car a unique build and to your taste. I dig it.
Dude. Love the content 👍
When I was growing up, I learned to drive my mother's manual transmission Toyota Tercel. It wasn't a cool car, it was what my mother could afford to go to work.
Now, twenty plus years later, I am driving my late father's Corolla. For me, Toyotas have been nothing but memories to me.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
That’s awesome! Seems that Toyotas run in the family! Super reliable, and most of them still running strong!
Bro u literally inspired me to mod my 2010 corolla that my parents gave me. I wasn’t excited about that car cause I thought it was basic but once I saw what all you could do to it, by watching your vids. I couldn’t have been happier to own this thing.
That’s Awesome! I love being able to inspire people!
Being able to take this boring car and turn it into something fun and awesome to drive!
The sounds coming from this corolla are just beautiful.❤. Nice work, I can feel your dedication and your hard work.
Thank you! And I love the sound of my corolla now! Turbo makes it sound great!
Real carguys can appreciate the work put into any build and the joy it brings the owner.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I was just thinking a day ago about your channel. I'm glad a down to earth guy that gets things done, on his car, and faces up to the challenges that arise at times, has this channel going and consistently. I agree, why do the norm? It's great to see you take that fuel economy car that some people might consider boring and turn it into something more fun to drive by adding one or two parts at a time. From all of us 2009ish Corolla owners, we thank you for your videos and hope you continue to inspire us.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Staying different has been entertaining for me, and it has created a awesome fun corolla for me!
I like that it went from Rice to NICE! Started with the underglow..... ended up boosting it! LET'S GOOOO! Keep it up! Love the passion, love the build!
Hey Brandon, I hope you and your family are doing well. As a content creator you will get a lot of love from the people that respect you and a lot of hate from people that are mentally sick, learn this, when people hate is because you are doing what they would like to do but can't, try not to focus on the negative comments actually when you see them just ignore them don't let it get in your head and keep up the good work, you have motivated a lot of us to be more confident and experiment in our cars so don't let some miserable people stop you
Thank you! I really appreciate you for sticking around and watching my videos and supporting me! It is you guys that keep me motivated to keep going further into my corolla. 🙏
Lmao nobody is hating because they can't turbo a 10 year old Corolla.... hilarious
All that matters is that you love your car and every time you get behind that wheel it feels like you're in another world. don't listen to other people what they have to say about your car. those aren't real car people. keep doing what you love man.
Honda civics were the cheapest entry level basic person car. Still kinda are but people modify them. A corolla is pretty much in the same boat but people havnt tested its potential. If you have a passion to work on cars and have fun, you can use whatever you want. Sadly everyone is so judgemental and want to put others down. Honestly I think more "basic cars" should be looked at too not just sports cars and super cars. People talk about wasting money on that kind of car but arent we all wasting money on cars in general instead of saving for family, emergencies, the apocalypse (yes because its fun). I do see other peoples point of why a corolla but at the same time its his decision and thats what makes him happy.
This is very true. Anyone buying cars and modifying them for fun is theoretically wasting money. Because we don’t need them. We want them.
I agree it is all about having fun with the cars you like. And modifying a basic car is what’s fun to me!
What a great testimony to the love of *your* car. Your comments remind me so much of an old Camry I had - had so much fun with mods and changes while people asked me why do it. Life's too short to listen to haters. Enjoy what makes you happy. Great fun watching your enthusiasm.
👍 👍
Like everyone leaving comments here. Dude I love this content. I love that you chose to express yourself with a car that people always overlook. I'm subbed and I'm always waiting for a new drop.
Too early to ask for another video explaining how to install the turbo 😅😁
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Got plenty more turbo videos coming!
My man has a car that he likes, modding it the way he likes and saving a ton on insurance! Nothing but respect🙌🔥💯
Corollas 🔛🔝
Yes! 👍 👍
The corolla makes perfect sense to modify and also its unique, you go at it dude.
This how a true gearhead is born. Real car guys do what you did. Everyone else are sheep 🐑
Very true! Start with something that not many people do! And make it the best!
I just dropped here by CZcams's recommendations and I must say, I love completely unusual builds and unexpected cars like this
i think the truly special part is even though its "just a corolla" to some others it will still stand out.
Not because its "just a corolla"; but a "unique" one and that's the part that matters most.
Dude I had a 2003 and 2004 Toyota Echo and those were honestly some of the most fun cars I ever owned. Every time I see one out in the wild it brings back the best memories. It's rare to be able to ring out 3rd gear in something and not be driving at an extremely dangerous speed. I could bomb around in that thing and bang gears, the entire time not driving like an absolute maniac on public streets. Not to mention it got like 45mpg. I think with a Turbo it would have been wheelspin city but I 100% understand the appeal of an economy Toyota, and the great driving experience it can be. Rock on man
Putting a turbo in a average normal car is very unique, it's actually kinda cool, keep it up!
im modifying my corolla and i have my doubts but this inspired me to commit to it, it can be a fun car, i dont care what people say or think, at the end of the day its my car and all that matters is what i think. thank you
I wouldn't normally mod a corolla (if i had the money or skills) seeing it as a common car, but damn my respect to you bro, your money, your rules, and your world.
A corolla is one of the most reliable cars on the road. And modifying it is totally up to you. Looks great for what you have done so far. And it's paid for, who cares what anyone else thinks.
This is very true! Having a paid off car that is reliable and I don’t need to constantly be fixing it.
People tend to disrespect and forget that a good majority of Toyota fun & sporty cars came from the Corolla platform & other every day platforms since forever and props for you for wanting something different, keep it up 👏💪🔥🔥🔥
I have a manual 95 accord. This is my first manual car. I have learned how to heel toe and shift quickly. Maybe I should just go ahead and turbo it. You have inspired me.
That would be awesome! Accords don’t get the same love as the civics do! Would love to see a turbo accord! Espically the old ones!
Your corolla is unique man. You're enjoying what you own. You're an inspiration
Just enjoying with the things I have! 👍
I’d never thought a video on installing a turbo on your corolla would be soul searching. The music go cuhrazyy 😂😂
My Corolla is very similar to yours except I have not done any mods mainly because it’s my beater car…it belonged to my parents they bought it with 80k miles on it and then they sold it to me when it had 160k ..at the moment it has 322k original engine and trans…literally a bulletproof car..I’ve done mainly brakes and alternator and a few sets of tires ..it’s been the best car I’ve owned..I will buy it again 1000 times again…absolutely love it…my goal is to get it to 1 million miles but if I make it to 500k miles I’ll be a happy camper..cheers great build 👍🏻
Dang that’s crazy! These corollas are bullet proof. Treat them nicely and do the little maintenance they need and they will run forever!
I would love to see a corolla hit 1 million miles! That would be great!
People like you are what keep the true car community alive, sleepers must be respected
Thank you! I appreciate it!
You actually chose the smart path... It is infinitely more easy to make yourself happy than to do the same for others.
Awesome man, i turboed my caliber and it has been a blast and surprises a lot of people. Don't give up!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
But that’s awesome! Dont ever see any turbo Caliber’s!
Did they ever make an SRT4 caliber? Or was that only the neon?
@@BrandonStellmach Yes they end up making the caliber srt 4 for 08-09. Its fun for sure though. I would never expect your car though haha
Hating on anyone's sleeper rod is real smol wee energy. Turbo Corrolla now lives in my heart.
Well, they drive well, and if you want "mo' powa baby.".
Enjoyed the self-learning stories, grats on the initiative and success.
This is a breath of fresh air. I started with a manual 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer ES. A very basic car like the Corolla. I am so glad that I did. I was able to learn and not spend a crap load of $$$ doing it.
I think its awesome you learned to drive manual and modified your car to make it more fun. I started with a old base Mitsubishi Eclipse and modified it since it was what I could afford at the time. It was fun but the best part was that I learned a lot. Fast forward 20 years and now I have 7 cars and a full shop with a lift to continue the fun!
Dude I respect you so much for building something super unique like this. Please don’t listen to the hate being thrown at you, most of those haters are still living at home with mommy and daddy.
For me I found interest in modding my corolla when I replaced my headlight casen. It was the first time I took something off on my car. Then I found your channel and started to try modding my car a lil bit more. My parents complained to me and still is because I found an interest in mechanics and I like the sport car look. I mean they can complain because they bought my corolla but at least support me. So this February when I found another job and I found an interest in other sport vehicles like sport bikes and other motorcycles. They are cheaper than used cars at the moment and they have Manuel transmissions. My parents discourage me from mostly everything in my interest besides my welding trade and honestly it makes me feel like I'm here for nothing. I have the money to get what I want. Its just my parents discourage me from anything I find interesting.
I appreciate you and your channel. You gave me confidence and the motivation to start learning about mechanics and other types of stuff dealing with cars. I respect you for what you do.💪💯
That’s exactly how it started for me, I slowly started to do things and after doing the first couple mods, it encouraged me to try more in depth and advanced things on my car. And lead all the way up to a turbo install.
Seems your parents must look down on mechanics being a good job. And must want something better.
But learning how to work on cars will save you thousands of dollars in the future when it comes to car repairs.
It’s a great thing to know, might not be the best career path, but it’s a good to have general car knowledge so either you can fix it yourself, or at least diagnose it yourself so you don’t get ripped off at dealerships.
I bought and learned to drive my first manual car at 34.
You just dont see them as much anymore and that extra dimension makes driving much more in depth.
Yeah they are pretty hard to come buy, unless it’s a really expensive sports car.
But learning manual has been the best decision I have made!
Amazing in its simplicity. The corolla engine is amazing. Small but strong. It's fun, it surprises you.
Yeah this engine is surprisingly able to hold a decent amount of power!
Your money, your passion. My 2003 MR2 is not fast but I love to drive it.
Exactly! It’s just about having fun and learning!
I have a similar car as you: 2009 LE Corolla with 4 speed automatic. It's a very important car to me and one that I wouldn't be able to let go of even if I got a better car. I've been getting into cars recently and your videos have really inspired me to personalize my Corolla, even if it is in small ways. I'm currently prioritizing paying off student loans but I can still do the cheap and easy car mods along the way. I hope that I'll be able to gain the confidence and knowledge to do the more complicated stuff as time goes on.
That’s awesome! I’m glad I have inspired you to work on your corolla as well! Love seeing others modify them even if it’s a bunch of small things!
People will always hate on any build you do wether it’s a million dollar lambo or something that you do to a “daily driver.” Dude this is really cool and it’s a great way to get into working and building on any vehicle. I hope you love your own build, keep it up man.
You have watered your corolla and it bloomed into something you enjoy, congrats 💪🏿
man deserves all the love of the car community. that side of the car community at least.
The smile on your face when you drive says it all.
You Rock brother ! As a 2010 Corolla and a Lexus is 350 owner. Corolla is a fun and cheap way to beat the shit out of it and have the same fun. Keep doing your thing. You got my support.
I’ve always wanted to mod my Corolla. I could never find brands that actually manufacture turbo systems for Corolla. Respect for you!
Slow cars going fast are way more fun than fast cars going fast. A corolla is a very limited stock car, but you can definitely make it fun to get the cliché of boring car out of it (heck, even my auto trans Corolla S with some suspension mods it’s fun). Idk if you’ve seen but there’s this Dominican guy who made a 500whp XRS build, now that’s a car I’m sure nobody would laugh after getting smoked by it.
People just love to hate, just keep the build man! It looks awesome and at the end of the day, your build represents your progress, and so far it’s been looking awesome.
Yes couldn’t have said it better! Slow cars modified to go fast much more fun to drive!
And yeah with these corollas, just some nice suspension setups makes the car more fun around corners. It’s a nice small and nimble car. So it doesn’t need much power to be fun!
That's around 0.35 PTW ratio. It's blazing fast
Hey man just remember. The most ICONIC Japanese car back in the day before all the others.. was none other than the AE86 "Corolla" my guy. You keep on pursuing your passion no matter what 👍
idc what people say but i love camrys and corollas especially the new camrys with the nice edges props to you for putting in effort into your car to learn and have fun it’s crazy how people go out their way to hate
Forget the haters. A great car is one that the driver/owner enjoys. Plus experience you racked up working on the car makes it all worth it.
You're a champ dude. You are what car enthusiast should be and, aspire to be.
Keep doing what you do.
Don't listen to the trolls.
More people should be like you.
Be happy bro, I have 3 cars 1 truck and all are completely different. I love my 2013 Toyota Corolla Le I did everything to it except a turbo or supercharger. It looks cool after my mods and is a fun little car. Be happy and keep going! Enjoy your car and we support you. 👍🏻
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Real car enthusiast understands u i want a Laurel C33 most of people would say the same, but i don't care i see it so beautiful and i want to make it fast. Keep with it if it's your dream and good job with that corolla sounds amazing!
To be honest all those people hating on you or your car. They're not legit hardcore car enthusiast! Car enthusiast don't look at a Toyota or a modified Hyundai and call it crap or junk box. I agree with everyone else that is backing you up and supporting everything you do to your vehicle it's your ride it's your vehicle it's your hard-earned money sweat and valuable time. Don't listen to those who think your car is garbage. Because I saw turbocharged four cylinders gap if not take on hellcats and embarrass them on the highway! Mad respects for you. Hope to see even greater mods onto your vehicle live a happy life and ride on keeping it clean and nice however screw off the negative comments.
I personally love corollas, i think that they're a very fun car to drive and they can become even more fun if boosted. Dont listen to the haters, keep doing what you love.
Good for you! People always gonna hate no matter what. I modified a Chrysler Lebaron. Lol. The smile you had in the video says it all. Enjoy!
This is not bad, man! How people hating on the rolls? I will give you props on the build!!
That corolla sounds bangin, don't see the issue love the work you put into it.
I know exactly how you feel. It may not be the best platform, but it's what you have, you put in the work, and you are attached. I have the same situation with a manual BMW E46 325xi sedan, I don't think I can ever get rid of it. Unless an M3 fall into my lap.
Dude I get you! I have a 2009 Scion tc manual. I have tried to restore it to its original shape and some upgrades (led lights, new stereo, better struts). I know it’s not a fast car but I like it and enjoy driving it. And that’s what counts
I think Corolla might be the perfect learner car! I bought a 5 speed 1997 Corolla DX without knowing how to drive manual and could barely drive it around the seller’s neighborhood haha. After watching a few tutorial videos on my phone while sweating my ass off in the car I finally had enough courage to set off on the 20 mile journey home, and stalled at probably over half the stoplights on the way! I had their old license plate on, no insurance, and none of the seatbelts even worked!
I learned how to do an oil change on it, how to change a tail light bulb, how to change spark plugs, how to wire an amp/sub, etc. and I’m gonna do my first engine swap on it next month! During all the research for diagnosing the bad and engine and for the engine swap I’ve learned so much about how engines and manual transmissions operate in general.
I think starting out with the highest selling most popular car in the world should be a no brainer before getting into real tuner cars.
Yeah I totally agree, we all have to start somewhere. Not everyone has the luxary to have people in their lives that have a manual transmission.
But the corolla has to be one of the best starter cars to buy to learn how to fix, drive, and modify!
People need to realize that modding a different car than the normal BMW, Subaru, or Audi is okay. I have a Corolla and I’ve started doing things to it here and there and YOU are the one that inspired me to do a lot of things. So thank you. Don’t listen to others bullshit
Very true. Not everyone has to modify the same cars. Otherwise everything will be over saturated with the same cars and would be interesting anymore.
But that’s awesome! Glad I was able to inspire you to modify your corolla!
Dude it's about the passion
The time and the fun you have with your car keep being you brother my respect 👊🏽
Thank you! I appreciate it!
literally love the look, its so sharp, all these others that hate have clapped out 240s. keep up the good work
Thank you!
Dude this is awesome. True car guys would love this. If I saw this at a car meet I would fanboy all over it.
