I do agree with you! You can probably get a decent set of tires for around 1k, and wheels would probably be another 1k. So unless you bought some used wheels and tires. 1k wouldn’t get you much.
huuuh !!??? this video should be how gain 1000$ after getting your first car. Just strip all the weight and your stock tires and suspension will perform at it's best.
The oil catch can is actually an awesome idea! Since these engines (2ZR if I remember correctly) are really oil picky due to an issue with the piston rings (a change in properties mid lifespan in the engine), either you change it every 5,000 miles (yes, even if it’s synthetic) or you will start to have oil consumption issues. So just a way to keep the oil a little bit cleaner so the engine can outlive us like toyota’s do. The car care nut channel has a really good video explaining the whole Toyota and low tension rings issue.
I think it should be added from the start! But changing the oil every 5k is exactly what I do. Want this engine to last a very long time! But I have seen the car care nut, he is for informative when it comes to Toyota engines!
I actually got mines for 1k cheaper than they originally asked ! I needed this video !! I recently lost my e34 so I really been wanting to sup up my car !
@@BrandonStellmach Thanks. I've been watching a ton of your videos. I recently picked up a nice affordable Corolla recently. Do you have the link for your favorite radio?
Your car is gorgeous. I love the video and that u posted links. Quick question: while i used to drive a 2010 rolla, i now drive a 2013. Any advice for finding blacked out, smokey headlights? Ive tried looking but limited success.
do you have a tutorial on taking off the front bumper and side fenders ?mine is messed up and needs replacement but don’t wanna spend too much at the shop if it’s simple
It is pretty simple to do replace the bumper. And I believe the fenders are just a few screws, but I have not taken them off before. But here is an old video I made installing some fog lights. And I talk about taking the bumper off! th-cam.com/video/YL6uZ5qVTf0/w-d-xo.html
try to work on this channel and make more videos even for other cars, or just start a new challenge with a new car, i just subscribed to your channel, very entertaining. keep it up
How’s the ride quality on those coilovers? I hear from a lot of people that it’s rough, but I’ve also heard online that with the right settings they can be smooth.
The Rev9 were good coilovers, for the price I thought they were good, especially since you can adjust the dampening. I have truharts on my new coilovers and i honestly think they ride harder then the rev9!
So with the base tune I have, which is around 7PSI of boost the car feels pretty good. One thing I can say is you still don’t have much low end power because your relying on the normal engine, but once the boost kicks in, it makes a big difference in power and feels really good. And that is also which a worn out clutch that is slipping a little under decent accelerations. Hopefully when I get the car on the dyno we can tune the lower end of the engine a little bit, and try and get a little more power. But all in all it’s been a great upgrade, but the cost starts to add up once you realize you need many other things then just the turbo.
Really interesting video. Imo the best mod you can do in any car is a great set of tires and a good suspension system
I do agree with you!

this is very true i would almost recommend any car to put an oil catch can in their car especially newer cars

I got a good deal on a 2010 s and wanted to do some light mods. Found your channel and definitely helped me find out what I wanted to do.
That’s great! I love being able to help people find some good mods for their rollas!
What did you give for yours
I actually got mines for 1k cheaper than they originally asked ! I needed this video !! I recently lost my e34 so I really been wanting to sup up my car !
Awesome! I am glad this was able to help you out!
Fukin love the corolla bro 🔥🙌
Thank you! 🙏
Great videos. Glad to see you are still uploading. Do you have a link to the nicer radio head units?
Thank you! And the nicer radios I have been using are idoing radios!
@@BrandonStellmach Thanks. I've been watching a ton of your videos. I recently picked up a nice affordable Corolla recently. Do you have the link for your favorite radio?
@@Zane_Godfreyi have put all the links, including the idoing radio in the description of the video.
Before stitching the steering wheel, should get a good stereo and speakers, so you got something to jam to while sewing 🤓
Probably the best way to do it! Jam out while sewing! 👍

The 10.5 gen is much harder to find after market headlights. Possibly try VLAND, and see if they sell a set!

Thank you! And I have been slowly trying to grow this TH-cam and make bigger and better videos! So it should keep getting better!
Yoooo bro where did you get that taillights? I’ve been looking around
They are VLAND tail lights. Here is a link to them!

Do you have a video of installing the side skirts on your 2010 corolla?
Yes I did. Here is the link to the video.

Any link to those specific ones? The ones im finding on ebay and other places are shiny brittle plastic. @@BrandonStellmach
@@LSNALGBhere is a link to some side skirts. The ones I bought the listed is not available, but these are equivalent to what I bought.
Sorry I don’t see the link 😮

where in lala land did you find $60-80 headlight housings?
I have put the link in the description. It looks like they are closer to $90 now.
Does that cheaper radio fit in a 2013 S, on amazon it says 2009-2012?
Yes it does, I have talked to other people that had a 2013 and it fits. Not sure why they don’t update the description.
@BrandonStellmach Ok thanks keep up the work. I love the vids for the corolla
Where can I get that lip kit for 2013 s ?
Here is a link to the 2013 front lip.

How much are your wheels
The wheels were about 1k when I bought them about 2 years ago.
How did u get carbon fiber on the steering wheels
This was a doubled sided tapped overlay that goes on top of the emblem on the steering wheel!
@@BrandonStellmach how can I get It can u the link in comment here
@@mk.christ2671I don’t have the link, I ordered it from Wish.
Where did u got the steering wheel logo ?
It was something I bought off of wish.com. It was very cheap, but seems to be holding on good.
What wheel adapters did you use
I did not need any wheel adapters, these fit right up to the stock hub.
great advice
Thank you! 🙏
What size tires and wheels do you have?
These are the wheels and tires I have.

Thank you. Can't stand the narrow tire look. Lol!
I have a 9th gen Corolla
That’s awesome! Some of these are universal mods! So they should work as well!

@@BrandonStellmach any reason you switched? I’m looking at those rev9’s but I’ve heard a lot of good things about the bc racing ones.
@@dalaquan2281 I left my old ones on my last corolla. And wanted to try a different brand to see how they are.
How much of a difference does turbo make in corolla? Peesonal opinion please!

You should dyno your car.
I plan too, I just need some time because I need to also install a new clutch as well!
