March 20th, 2022: Hi everyone! The song at 6:23 (Warm Nights - LakeyInspired) is copyrighted, so I've had to replace it with some songs from the youtube audio library. Sorry if any of the audio sounds a bit off in that section of the video. Thanks for watching!
Just wondering how much it cost to modify your car till now or this video.
Great video. Could you list the things you added? I have the 2008 Carolla that I want to do some stuff to as well and would love to know the name of the parts you changed and accessories added
That was car porn ! 😁 Well done mate, I love watching your journey. Thank you for sharing so much helpful info
I love Toyota corolla Your car is awesome i have 2007 but i cant do that by i like can you do the PARTS please
I have a 03 Corolla le and seeing this really really made me want to modify it I have always looked for another car but never thought why not modify the old Rolla thank you man really
That’s awesome, glad I inspired you to work on your Corolla! Good luck with your build!
I have the 03 ce and I think I've settled on making it a sleeping demon, fast and better on gas than some cars
Same here i have 03 corolla LE. Working on it . Just got wheels 18x9.5 making it widebody
Before this I never thought to buy this model.
@@asjadabrar1648 it actually looks good without the type s body kit. My car looks really nice, just installed coilovers and rims
09 corolla owner here. just bought it for a daily but thinking about modifying it so thanks for the inspiration! 🤝🏽
proud owner of a base 05 corolla. just got new rims. starting my own lil journey of modification. love the way the car looks man
Thanks for the kind words! Best of luck with your car, looking forward to seeing how it'll turn out!
You did all the mods that actually make a difference on a corolla. You're wise with modding cars. The corolla is light and is good at taking curves, so these mods really improve this car's strengthes. I have a 2001 8th gen corolla and an 11th gen 2014 corolla. Due to its lightweight chassis, reliability, and throttle cable I want to start focusing on my old 2001 corolla again. You are an inspiration to the small Corolla community.
Thank you man! I’m excited to see how your 8th gen build goes!
I have a 2001 le Corolla I’m tryna mod, post anything you end up doing to yours please haha!
Damn literally did everything himself, very smart dude🙏🏽
I had a 2000 for 8 years! Had to finally scrap it due to the underside being completely rusted out. It still ran and drove perfect though! Funny enough my sister bought a 2014 Corolla because of how reliable mine was! 😆😄
@@evan937 I bought a 2014 corolla too. I was leaning towards a Civic Si, but my 2001 corolla was so reliable I decided to stick with Toyota and I'm so glad I did. Now my wife drives the 2014 and I drive the 2001. I have a 2006 Civic and it was holding up until the engine block cracked. I don't have to deal with rust in Texas, but I know what you mean. I had a car that was rusting away underneath and I also had to get rid of it. It sucks. I have some stuff planned out for the 2001 and 2014 corollas. I'm busy with moving and looking to change jobs, but when I get settled in I want to make some videos and a blog.
Nice build man. I'm more of a domestic enthusiast but I can definitely appreciate someone who wrenches on their own car and puts in the blood sweat and tears!
Your Corolla kinda reminds me of my first car way back when, it was a Ford Focus wagon, was bland and boring but towards the end it was so modified I remember getting thumbs up from people. We all start somewhere, if it wasn't for the wrenching I did on that car I wouldn't have my mustang today. Keep up the good work man. Respect
Wow as a Corolla owner this was inspiring. Also, your ability with cars is very impressive.
I appreciate the kind words! Glad this was inspiring!
i was impressed until i saw da tint installation.. then i was REALLY impressed.. keep it up man 👍🏻
Love the dedication I have an 07 rolla s thanks for good ideas nice build
Not gonna lie it turned out great from what it was and the fact you did it all yourself, I respect that
Thank you very much!
great video will! I subscribed because I got a 9th gen corolla too, really cool to see the growth of it in one video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support!
That's a sweet wrap. And the exhaust sounds nice. Not too loud.
The best Corolla channel in the world! I learn a lot from you. A hug from Brazil.
Thank you so much for the support! 🙏🏼
Yeah you got some good mechanic skills dude. you made a sweet whip out of that ride.
Thanks for the compliment!
Looks very nice. Great job man
nice diy upgrades! planning and manifesting to get a corrolla 9th gen this year as my first car!
Damn I bet it handles like it's on rails!!! Nice job man!
Haha definitely, spirited driving is quite fun even with it being automatic! Thanks for the kind words!
Overall great work , you have alot of good talent keep it the good work 👏
Thank you very much!
Looks amazing, I have a 2001 toyoda corolla spot and had it painted in navy blue. This transformation of your corolla made me think of mine
Thanks for the kind words! What’s everything you’ve done with your Corolla? (besides the navy blue)
Is this color call navy blue color, because I like the color,I want buy the same color please?
Happy your happy, great job & and it means a lot when you did it yourself👍✌️
Thank you for the kind words!
I'm impressed. Nice video!
Thank you!
thanks for your video friend! you did a good job, congratulations ! ✌👍👌
Appreciate the support, thanks for the comment!
great job bro the car looks awesome 👍🏾
Thank you very much!
Much respect young man
This is really nice, I have a matrix 05, very similar to your Corolla, and I am looking forward to using these videos to also modify. I’ve done a lot but I have a long way to go! I love this first car, corollas are very awesome
That's awesome! Looking forward to the progress on your build!
@@WillChang thank you, looking forward to more content as well! I subscribed to you, much love 👊
You did that💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Absolutely love your build man 👌 the wrap and all of the suspension stuff and muffler are my favourite modifications. 😎 I am looking for trd muffler but none are willing to ship India and mine is straight-pipe, very droney 🥴 But amazing progression will!! 💪
Thanks for your support! I've been casually looking around for TRD mufflers out of curiosity and a good condition one seems pretty rare to find
Bro I wanna talk to u right now
Gimme ur insta handle
@willhchang on instagram is a good place to reach me!
I got the inspiration to modify my 2011 Toyota Corolla XRS from this video 😁
Watching you grow up with your can was super fun
Getting mine next Friday
New subscriber. I checked out your video on the upgrades that you did to your Toyota Corolla thumbs up on your video bro
Thank you very much for your support! 🙏🏼
@@WillChang You’re welcome
@@WillChang I enjoyed the video
This was beautiful
Thank you so much!
This video inspired me greatly. My ‘07 LE has manual transmission, and I slid off the highway into a guardrail, recently. I removed collision years ago, thinking I’d replace the car completely if something happened. I can’t find a 2022 Corolla SE in blue, with a stick shift… anywhere!
I’m considering just fixing the damage and upgrading my existing car!
Glad I could offer you inspiration!
Check out a pick n pull to see if they have corollas for your generation that you can pick the parts you need. Just need to bring a bag of tools. You can search their dB online and they should have locations across the US. You can get oem parts for cheap picking it yourself at pic n pull. This is where I get alot of replacement parts. Then rock auto and ebay if I want new or performance parts. I would never replace an old Corolla. Getting a newer second car and having the corolla as your backup and project car is the better option. These cars are too reliable and simple to replace! You will get your money's worth when you need a backup car. And I have needed my old 2001 corolla for backup duty several times. What about the 10th (2009 - 2013) or 11th (2014 - 2018) gen corolla? You might be able to find one with manual. I have a 2014 one with a six speed. Way heavier than the older corollas, but really comfortable and a good aftermarket. I also love the new corolla hatchbacks, but it might be hard to find a manual one. If you do, then take it asap!
Fire bro!!
Thank you man!
nice job bro.. appreciate your work and dedication love from kerala,india 🎌
Thank you for the kind words!
This really shows the the time that goes into making a clean build on an older car. Anyone (with money) can buy a beautiful new car, but it takes dedication & love to keep an older car looking this good!
In your opinion, what is the one biggest mod to reduce front wheel hop/slip under power in sharp turns?
-front strut bar
-rear sway bar
-front or rear shocks
-something else?
Couldn't agree more!
For reducing wheel hop, anything that can tighten the chassis up will be beneficial, such as strut bars, chassis bracing, and sway bars. Bushings often are overlooked but can reduce wheel hop greatly such as control arm bushings and motor mount bushings. If you want to get rid of wheel hop in one shot though, then that calls for an LSD, although very expensive!
if its FWD, front sway bar.
I have an 03 Corolla S only needed a motor but also needs other things but watching this shows how easy this car really is 291,694 and still kicking!
That’s awesome! These things really do last forever!
@@WillChang her names rolla and she might become a sleeper👁
@@WillChang I have your lights but tinted
I thought it was goin to be a joke but when u wrapped the car in blue nice car the wrap look kinda easy that like a 2000 dollar paint job car look sweet
Mad respect
Nicely done , good job..
Im looking for some moods so..
Keep us up to date please :,)
I'll for sure keep posting new content! Thanks for the kind words!
amazing !!
Thank you!
Congrats on 1k likes 👍
Thank you!
Damn the homie said fuck all y'all I'm modifying my Corolla that's so sick
Sick build
Thank you!
CLEANNNNN dream build
Thank you so much!
I bought a Corolla Altis used in 2008 its a 2004 model and just recently I bought the most neglected one I could find and I'm gonna restore and modify it theres some very nice looking Corollas here in Trinidad and I want to make mine look like those
I have an 07 corolla CE and I've been told over and over modding it is pointless because the mileage is so high. Seeing this made me have hope that my corolla can be renewed!
Glad I could be an inspiration for your car! I wouldn’t worry too much about mileage since these cars last forever, just take care of it and it’ll take care of you!
dope asf
Amazing
Well done my friend
Thank you!
10 for effort and determination!
I'm saving money for my Carolla, Will be back when I get one.
Awesome!
Thanks for going places and taking steps! My mods are clean the car, vaccume. Replace missing Christmas tree pins.
Replace rusted exhaust to muffler.
Upgrade wheel width to 195
Pioneer Bluetooth
Cut the rear speaker cone for defined bass
Replace airbox and passenger ac filters.
Oil change at 4k
Power wash the engine bay.
Upgrade battery.
Replace siezed caliper front right.
Infinite contact / beam wiper blades.
New sparkplugs
New trunk and hood latches. Jfc.
New old school bulbs, the yellow temp bites distance better.
It needs stability. So I like the idea of the engine and trunk rigid support.
I'm terrified of replacing the struts and suspension.
Coil pack get old?
Do you have the shop manual? I'm an 05 ce.
All else is still stock. I love money shifting to 2 at a light, turn off overdrive, floor to third, and plane out into fourth w od on.
Nothing felt better than cleaning the car spotless and reducing the clatter and shakes.
What can I do to the car that's under ten dollars? Under 20? Or 50?
Lots of your jobs are expensive. Like the bars and springs.
I might sub you bc it's relevant.
Honestly struts are super easy can do my whole car (09 CE) in less then 2 hours with some painful bolts fairly simple and genuinely fun with some good friends
@@kevinholman6369 thx for the reply. To restate my 05 ce, With wider tires( 195 instead of 185 )in Can get. That in a shop. I gain so much. Because there is more rubber, I have greater stability with the wider footprint. More grip on wet roads, less tilt on turns. The cost is similar to what you already pay for a new set of two front tires. I would also argue I would. Get. More speed somehow,but I can’t prove that.
With struts, why replace them if they’re not broken? Isn’t there the bounce test, push on the car down and see it bounce only once, if more the struts are bad?
What kind of struts you do. Did you need to add any bolt on mods for it? What did you gain or lose?
Best.
10 months later:
i cleaned, painted waxed and polished the hood/rock chips. vaccumed , found a free spot. replaced the pins in the trunk, and rock gaurd all round etc.
got a new exhaust pipe at autozone and the mechanic put it in. 120$ plus labor. ez
love the width. im actually slower on the uptake, but better ride quality.
the bluetooth radio is the pioneer deh6500bt rocks the 6way audio.
didnt cut the rear speakers omg. just vaccumed the pebbles out of them and they sound fine.
filters are fine. so is the oil
wash the engine bay, cover the alternator w/ plastic bag. found the steering pump leaks. and scrubbed the bay with my hands!
bigger battery starts and covers my new mods.
replaced the caliper. costs a bit. but if feel safe
oem wipers on point. plus the toyota decal.
new plugs, and wires tested the alt, boots coilover packs, and cleaned the fuel rail to the injector.
i replaced the trunk latch and married the lock.
new bulbs rock. also got fog kit.
rewatching this. i am inspired to wrap the car!
put in sway bars, coilovers, upgrade the rear brakes, ...
Cheers.
awesome video. I don't expect you to respond but I wish I knew where you got those taillights, they look great!
And here I am responding lol! I bought my taillights from eBay; they're gen 1 Corolla Altis taillights. I don't have a link anymore but a search on eBay should yield some options. Thanks for your comment!
@@WillChang Thanks!
Super Star ✨ Quality
Thank you so much!
I've really been wanting to wrap and tint Lola the rolla for a while now. I think i saw enough to go at it myself.
Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing your results!
Love how it turned out. But God that engine bay is cramped. I'm a mr2 fan and I thought our engine bay was a pain. Lord I know u caught hell with any engine mods. But the car turned out great. Good job bruh
Haha yeah the engine bay doesn't have the most room but it's honestly not too bad. Thanks for the kind words!
So i saw another video ther day on you changing to LED lights i did the same thing i found the flasher relay how do i take it out t replace it with the LED version of it is hard no room
Awesome video man, does the TRD muffler for the LE fit your new XRS ?
Thank you! Yep the TRD muffler will fit the XRS, I've been thinking of moving it from the LE to the XRS but at the same time I've wanted something more free flowing
Very nice
Thank you!
I saw you were using mudflaps before, where did you get ones that properly fit on this car?
Ive tried few different ones from ebay and amazon, the front ones fit fine but the rear mudflaps were always too small or never lined up with the holes
I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla c.e I'm wondering what size tires and rims you have there and will it fit mines
The best mod you made on the Corrola was the fabricated heat shield 👍
Really good
Thank you! Cheers!
Where can I buy the rear disc break conversion kit bro?
I own a 05 model that I modifying
Please let me know
Nice I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla LE
Awesome!
very nice
Thank you!
I have an 08 le I've been running e85 since hearing lots of myths about it and how it can actually be ran kn stock non flex fuel cars. it's been running good so far wish me luck
Interesting that it still runs well! Keep in mind though that ethanol is corrosive and can damage your fuel lines, which is why people who do flex fuel conversions replace their fuel pumps, lines, injectors, etc. Best of luck!
I have an 07 CE and there are a list of things I want to modify starting with the radio 😆
Awesome! Audio mods are great mods to get started with!
Team HotBoiRolla ! You've come so far, fucking legendary
Thank you for the support!
Helll yea !
✌🏼
What bulbs did you use for the AC control lights? The green ones are ugly.
Perfect car to mod bro they last forever 👌
Definitely!
I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla, like my father before me.
He wasn't a car guy, I am, this is gonna be wild
what exhaust is that?? id like to get it for my 05
What is the name of the thing you use to cover the car
:58 no correction needed, you were right 👍🏼
👍🏼👍🏼
where did you get the spoiler from?
Bro I like so much your videos I have one of this car and I would like to modify it can you tell me where did you get your cold intake thank before hand
Thank you for the support! I got my intake from carid.com, here's the link to the part: www.carid.com/2007-toyota-corolla-air-intakes/weapon-r-secret-weapon-short-ram-air-intake-system-377225993.html?parentsubmodel[]=ENGINE|1.8L
I'd also suggest looking around and comparing other intakes as well! Cheers!
💯🔥🔥🔥
Where did you find the grille
do you have any first performance mods you would recommend for a 2006 ce? i’m pretty sure it’s the same as the le except for trim and features. also is it difficult to find parts and cosmetic mods for it?
Don’t performance mod these cars buy something else or engine swap 😂🤷♂️
I actually also have a Toyota corolla 2006 model as well and I am thinking of making it a drift missile with an RB26 swap and with two turbos.
That would be a crazy build! Would require some superb fabrication skills but that would be a super awesome build to see!
Hey Will, Corolla owner here. How do you feel about the Corolla CE? I have one with a 1ZZ FE and I hear mixed opinions on them. Especially about the 2ZZ. I feel like crap for having it but what are some basic and cool mods do you suggest?
I don’t mind CEs at all, you shouldn’t feel negative for owning one! Mine here is an LE with is essentially a CE with more options so this one also has the 1zzfe. Audio mods like head unit, speakers, amplifier, maybe subwoofer if you’re into that would make the daily commute more fun to listen to! On the other hand, new wheels and lowered suspension (lowering springs, coilovers) would be great for improving looks and handling
what exhaust did you installed?
Where did you get that bar?
no hate but did you paint your brake rotors?
I have an 05 ce with 348,000 miles on it but I’ve been looking into a new set of rims and tires. Preferably 16”. What are your rim and tire size?
I have 16x7 wheels, +40 offset, and 205/55/R16 tires. I've been using them for over 4 years and am still happy with them!
hey i have a toyota allion nzt 240 ..how can i upgrade the engine
Cold air intake, header, and free flowing exhaust should all help but the best way to increase power is forced induction!
hello really nice could you tell me what are your suspensions I have a 2006 S and I have to change my 4 suspensions I would like to have the same result as you and a firmer result
Thanks for the kind words! I have Ksport Kontrol Pro coilovers on mine, they are fully adjustable and after 4 years they’re still holding up well
Do you have a link for the white brace you installed in the trunk?
Yep, here's the link to the 2 point rear strut bar: ultraracing-usa.com/product/toyota/toyota-corolla-e130-e140-e170-2003-2019-rear-trunk-2-points/
The 4 point rear strut bar has been discontinued. Ultra Racing also has other braces for our cars if that interests you!
Any rust in the 5 years?
how much this is all cost you if you don’t mind me asking, thanks!
cool 😃
Thank you!
Reminds me of a Lexus is300 from that year 🤙
do you ever feel like a sway bar?
@@stilllmkp nah bro I feel more like a strut, I take lots of hits and keep going
@@williamriggs9039 im more of a traction control system , always safer turned on
A rwd conversion would be awesome.
Oh totally! Not in my plans for this car unfortunately but if one day I feel crazy enough it would make an interesting series!
Did you get the rear disk conversion from a old xrs or is there a kit for it?
I bought it from 2zzlow who got it from a junkyard celica gts, he sometimes has some of these in stock
what coilovers and struts did you use? my shocks are currently bad all around and im thinking of going a bit lower
I’m on Ksport control pro coilovers, put almost 20k miles on them and they’re still going strong!
@@WillChang cool thank you do you have a link by chance?
what’s the name of the part you’re changing at 7:43 needing to change mine just not sure of the name. also what’s best for engine longevity?
That's me replacing the fuel rail along with reinstalling cleaned fuel injectors. And for engine longevity, the best thing to do is regular oil/filter changes every 5k miles although it certainly wouldn't hurt changing it more often. Overall, your engine will last the longest by following Toyota's maintenance schedule which you can find here: www.toyota.com/owners/resources/warranty-owners-manuals.corolla.2007
@@WillChang okay cool i appreciate that a lot. to add on to longevity what would be some aftermarket parts i could replace? i’m wanting to change the way the engine bay looks but don’t want to lose engine life adding parts that aren’t necessary
I have this 2007 model in Pakistan & its the the best till now
Very dependable cars for sure!
@@WillChang yeah of course! and in my view One best Off Road Sedans as well.
