Since taking these I've took off the rear 'Toyota' and 'Corolla' badge. Looks much better

nice car. What's the major differences (power, accessories etc) between the Yaris T Sport and the Carolla T sport?

 

[Skyliner34]

The Yaris is a 1.5 106Bhp. You get air con etc.

The Corolla is a 1.8 189Bhp engine with lift technology, it's like getting extra power between 6200 - 8200rpm. Same engine you get in that Toyota engined Elise. You get auto wipers, mirror etc.

 

[Arnold]

Quite a significant difference then! how much was the car?

 

[Skyliner34]

9k

 

[kristian]

Great spec, horrible looking car though..

..just my opinion

 

[pixieness]

It looks a bit like the Civic Type-R, although I think the Type-R's a bit slicker isn't it. Still, a nice car overall. :grinning:

 

[Ems]

The new Civic's are horrible!!

Vey nice though. They've def got better looking!! At least some cars a still improving!!

 

[Skyliner34]

Thanks for your kind comments

 

[Ems]

blimey, just noticed your only 20! How much is your insurance setting you back? If you don't mind me asking!!

 

[Skyliner34]

£800 with Virgin. 2yrs NCB Not bad.

It's the petrol thats expensive lol

 

[Ems]

LOL, well i'm sure the thrills it gives you driving it kinda pay's for that!!

Not a bad price though, providing It's fully comp?

 

[Skyliner34]

Yeah the thrills does make up for the price of petrol

Yup it's fully comp insured.

 

[Ems]

coolio!! Well have fun in it!! You gunna keep it standard?

 

[Arnold]

That is a good price. People are paying that to insure there micras!

 

[tse_adam]

it is also the same engine in the Celica T-sport so to speak, shame its not a looker otherwise it would then be called a proper hot hatch.

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

always been a fan of these, get it supercharged....

 

[Skyliner34]

Mods to come:

Air Intake
Exhaust
Exhaust Manifold

And more, well see when the time comes. It's easier to sell it and find a Corolla T Sport Compressor if I wanted to supercharge it

Also the same engine in one of the Lotus Elise's.

My mate has a T Sport Compressor, they are RAPID! Rare as hen's teeth though, only 250 in this country I believe!

I've always had a soft spot for this shape Corolla! Nice power figures for an N/A 1.8 too!

James.

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

yup only 250 of them.
