Your car looks good, Chris.
Why the 245 tires on the back and not front? Front cant fit them? Need some front work to make em fit?
Know if the tires impacted fuel economy?

 

[Chris Denton]

Thanks! The 245’s will fit, just haven’t bought them yet.
I’m sure they impact gas mileage, lol. They’re huge compared to OEM

Have you noticed a power increase with the CAI, header and muffler?

 

[Denis L'Heureux]

did you flip the pic or something, muff and gas door on the wrong side

 

[Chris Denton]

Not su much a power increase, but every little bit makes the car more responsive. If I had to guess where the hp is, I would say a solid 150. Just keep in mind that I’ve spent thousands to get there! Lol

Movie magic!

The Orange Virus tune, is that a simple plug-n-play system? Or did you have to take it to a professional tuner? And is it the same software that is used on the Scion iM? It was the only one I found on their site.

It’s a DIY tune. They’ll provide instructions on how to do it. It’s a 3 part thing and they’ll help you if you run into problems. It’s not a device, you need a laptop and the dongle that you get when you make your purchase.
I know it keeps disappearing and reappearing on their website, dunno what that’s about, but it’s the same tune as the iM.

I finally got a reply from Orange Virus Tune. I asked them if the OVTune can make adjustments for the performance camshafts that Monkey Wrench Racing sell, but the guy at OVT never heard of those cams. https://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/product/mwr-cam-set-2-2zr-fe-stage-1/
The Rep at MWR said those cams are good for about 8 whp without a tune. If you used an AEM piggy ECU (that they used to sell) then the gains can be close to double.

Nice! Do you know what the core charge is?
Sometimes I’ll buy things things just cause they’re made for our cars.
I’m not ready to rip open my engine yet, I have less than 25k and it’s paid for.


The ecu by itself could possibly make its own changes, even more so with the OVtune. But a custom tune would be more beneficial.

Thanks for doing the research!!

 

[my16corolla]

The core charge is $225. Of course you can avoid that by sending your cams before the purchase or get the money back if you send your original cans shortly after purchase. Just click on the MWR site that I included with my statement above and you can see yourself.

Installed all the bars and H brace, lowered 1.3" front and 1.5" rear, carbon ceramic pads with slotted rotors, toyo tires and sound system upgraded.

@Chris Denton can you provide the link for the spoiler? Thanks.

 

[marcivan]

@T3kMan1 that looks real cool. can you please explain what kind of displays you have there in the center and on the app top right ? Did you do any mods in the dash itself or does it just look so cool at night and I have never realized this ?

 

[Chris Denton]

@Chris Denton can you provide the link for the spoiler? Thanks.

Mapisa International Group or MPS aeroparts, same company.
