[@JTheMoneyable]

I never thought I’d be interested in a Corolla. Lol.

[@JDMJACOB1]

J.Money that’s what they want you to feel

[@hendrahendra]

IKR they look sooooooo good too, compared to the washing machines that they used to sell couple of years back this is on another league. Better looking than a Golf.

[@ryanolson6794]

Once these start popping up used I’m definitely interested, I wish the GT86 platform didn’t use the FA20. I’d rather daily drive a four door hatchback even though it’s FWD than a RWD coupe with an inefficient boxer.

[@Whyunounderstand]

The fa20 makes 205hp how is it inefficient

[@ryanolson6794]

Whyunounderstand boxer motors aren’t the better option in terms of a daily driver, they’re inefficient as worse gas mileage than an in-line four and they’re not as reliable over a long term period.

[@speedacademy]

Big thanks to the @TheStraightPipes for shooting some epic track footage for us! You guys ROCK!

[@arctictruck10]

Speed Academy did you sell the oem wheels?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Sick build boys!

It's fun to see KZbin car channels working together

[@mixflip]

Wow now I want a Corolla

[@mrphiscal]

TRD supercharger, LSD where are you?

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

Yes! If TRD builds an SC that can provide 30+ horsepower, someone out there will build a rowdy ass Corolla. I’m so happy to see the Corolla getting the attention it deserves, not just from us, but from Toyota as well. I’m a huge Corolla fan, have been for years. Particularly from ‘84-‘92.

[@lucasblanchard47]

mrphiscal I’d love to see that!

[@VS666]

they're still recovering from wasting all that time and money on Scion (the tC1 had a supercharger for like 1 year I think haha)

[@AeroPrixma]

That should be a good street car build, right now it is a daily build. I would like to see that in the near future though!

[@applebitefool]

I’ve got a nice Toyota SC14 which with the right pulleys could add up to 8lb of boost. Im located in Montreal if you are interested.

[@patrickbowen5567]

I like to fact you are taking actual affordable cars and doing simple mods and showing what you can do with it at the track. More cars like this please.

[@MadRS]

Damn that is a good looking Corolla. Wheels are on point and stance is perfect.

[@theo.k]

Love this subtle street oriented build. Thanks for sharing. The car looks spectacular too, what a difference a set of wheels and coil-overs make. And a nice exhaust note to finish it all off. I am desperately trying to find a way to incorporate a Corolla in my life, who would have thought.

[@JackSwatman]

Thanks for doing this build, hopefully stuff like this helps to show the American market that huge SUVs and giant barges of saloon cars are stupid

[@speedacademy]

YES! All the OEMs are going to SUVs and CUVs, its awful watching the market get reduced to that.

[@mitchellsteindler]

How would this do that?

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

I hear ya, man. I’ve been kinda preachy about it the past few years, but no one else in family really care for cars, except my grandfather, who I see maybe twice a year. It bugs the hell outta me that so many people in the US drive trucks and SUVs for no apparent reason. Mr. Mike Suburbanite dailies an F-150, while working a cozy office job? Why? For the $55K you spend on a truck, you could get a killer car. There’s so many good options out there in that range. I get that some of it stems from people that like trucks, but my issue is that most of it stems from ignorance regarding the market. I think as Americans we generally think of bigger vehicles as being safer (which can be true, actually) and more luxurious, which isn’t true. Not for what you pay for, not in most cases.

[@VS666]

@@Loudest_Cricket_ everyone forgetting that wagons usually have more usable room, oh and what they actually pay for a new car after they financed it for 7 years lmao...fuckin rip off new cars these days

[@joshuastevens5910]

@@markf5314 Depends where you live I guess. Where I live, my state is suv and truck country. So lots of trucks. But most don’t just drive it around cause it’s a trend. Ford isn’t even making cars anymore. Just Broncos, super duty’s and suvs. The racing hobby isn’t dying off either, it’s dumb assholes ruining it for everyone and other states following California law on everything. I drive a 96 12 valve Cummins diesel and also got a 2020 corolla. My corolla I drive more, but my diesel is for hauling.

[@mackfan]

I've been eyeing this car for a while and this series is really starting to tip the scales.

[@t.w.3]

Put some H&R or Eibach anti-roll bars on it and it will be cured of body roll without removing the comfort. Nice video, and good result. This Corolla is amazing. Great color combination as well with the blue of the car with those gold rims..

[@arcticx7505]

Ever since i saw the Papadakis corolla I was waiting for you to do a corolla build... FINALLY!!!

[@zumezoom9593]

4 seconds for some basic mods is impressive

[@sk83rboi777]

This is one of the best car channels, hand down. Great filming and editing, high integrity content, quality parts, and applicable/practical projects. Keep it up!

[@ESPSJ]

I never noticed these Corollas on the road until this color came out. Such a good looking car, the front looks aggressive for a hatchback and the proportions are good too. I'd proudly drive one of those everyday.

[@shaeerhassan8588]

This Corolla looks amazing really wish they offered a turbo version

[@jakubek89]

In Europe there is turbo.... 1,2t 0-100 ~9, 2s. It should be at least 1,6t!

Hopefully we get the GR with the 260hp turbo 3 banger. More likely than the GR yaris since the Yaris has some stark variations across the world's market.

[@themexicansensation2698]

I love the look of these would make a great daily

[@luistroll22]

Thats the setup i need for my mazdaspeed 3, awesome build like always!

[@TechWiz1983]

I’m doing a Turbo Kit on my Corolla Hatch this summer; therefore am VERY interested in an LSD. Would absolutely LOVE to see you guys add an LSD, as I have no clue if anyone will actually make/release one. Any real performance for this car so far has to be custom built. Hopefully that starts changing real soon. We need much more aftermarket support!

[@fedbeast8094]

Can you give more info on your turbo build or some info on how to get started and where to buy it?

[@Arsing116]

This build series is just too awesome!

[@poduss44]

These toyotas are sick

[@lander917]

Good job guys. One of my friends loves the Toyota

[@skitzvitz]

Looks 11/10 , genuinely impressed how good it looks with a few mods. Suspension I think some sway-bars would help. Under the bonnet, needs forced induction or some kind of tune to get it to about 150KW at the wheels and an LSD. Be a proper warm hatch then.

[@HarryTwatter]

would also cost 35k with those mods

[@SupremeChief1]

All of a sudden everyone likes the Corolla Hatchback

[@frozenpete788]

Feels like this new Corolla is a good successor for the old ae82 and 92. The only thing that I don't personally like on the rear is this flat portion on the bumper, though this is surely very convinient everyday. Once the aftermarket gets a lot of parts, those are gonna be cool cars to mess around with

[@wldwst22]

I would definitely enjoy your finished version of that Corolla. I really can't believe I just wrote that, but it's true.

This is the best project car channel on KZbin!!

[@mondomoleno.3404]

I don't have TE37SL money, but all in all, that would be a car I'd be happy to own. I'd probably use a set of RPF1s in gold or something similar to keep the budget a little lower maybe with a small 5-10mm spacer to keep that rubbing you mentioned away, and I would modify the induction system a little more while retaining the stock airbox (silicone hose leading to the throttle body to reduce heat soak in the plastic, velocity stack if it fit behind the air filter). Since I'm about details, I'd put a TRD oil cap, shift knob, and a SARD radiator cap for some added bling.

[@jozhfy]

toyota: "make the car look faster but go slower"

[@alexkay7823]

I saw one on a highway for the first time and asked my wife to google the specs right away, hoping it was a hot hatch from Toyota. Well... Not even warm hatch if you ask me.

[@arekb5951]

@@alexkay7823 toyota just announced a 250hp, Torsen-based AWD Yaris. Let's hope Corolla gets the same treatment as well!

[@jozhfy]

@@arekb5951 can you get 250hp out of a 3 cylinder ?

[@PeterParker-xz9vb]

Sounds cool but this corolla actually got a power buff. Obviously by no means is it fast but it is faster than the previous gen

[@arekb5951]

@@jozhfy1.6L 3 cylinder with 250HP has the same specific power output as 2.1L 4 cylinder with 333HP. Mercedes made a 2.0 inline 4 with 421HP, so 250HP in this Toyota should be easily achievable.

[@jacquesjrroy785]

The RSR coilovers being streetable is a good thing. I got KW v1 on my car and the front is so stiff. The car has snap understeer at the limit. Which of course kills any envy to push it.

[@insidelectronics]

Definitely looking at doing some of these mods to my Blue Flame Corolla!

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

I'm an old man who hated Corollas (cheap looking) but fell in love with a 2020 SE 6spd manual 👍

[@calebrasak6941]

I really think this is a very balanced car for most people who need a reliable car to go to work in without being overly powerful. Thanks for this series youve inspired me to pick up a corolla hatchback.

[@misfit72492]

Nice! Toyota needs to take note of this and the Veloster N/Type R and respond accordingly. I was considering getting a new Corolla last year, but the Veloster won the styling/price/performance awards IMO. Now, if Toyota had a Corolla trim with your performance upgrades, then I may have considered otherwise.

[@Alexander-sr5fg]

This is awesome, it's cool to see a normal car set up for track.

[@lewisberry8657]

Driving a slow car fast is always rewarding. This probably the best looking hatch out there, besides the type r. An that's coming from a honda lover from over 20 years.

[@armandoramos1949]

Great job in the mods and the results on the track looks great. I love this gen Corolla. I have been contemplating on getting the 2020 hatchback. Great job and more power to you guys.

[@on-site4094]

You guys made a great improvement to a daily driver 👍 for Toyota

[@edwardramos9666]

Fantastic detail on a realistic review!

[@R3LF13]

I think this car looks really cool. Toyota should do a proper hot hatch with it - something akin to the Veloster N would get a lot of attention I would think.

[@iraqifoodcart8447]

Yeah. If they turbocharged the motor with the same turbo they used on the GR Yaris, the Corolla would be a rocketship

[@tompasquale986]

Very interesting to take such a basic car and make a big difference in handling with only a few modifications. Sway bars and LSD and a little more power would make a great sleeper.

[@derekw7848]

Watching this build has been awesome.

[@colinmcdonell5034]

Car looks great Dave.

[@Freddie.estremera]

I think that exhaust note is perfect for me too...Thanks for getting into the details of how the stock exhaust system is setup...I think this is useful for future enthusiasts to use as a reference to plan their projects.

[@ImJustMe555]

I'm not saying that you guys do this, because I've seen a lot of your videos and I know that you all know how much this can change the dynamics of a car, but chassis braces can make as big of a difference as coil overs. You should look into some. There may be some good braces available that could help with the body roll. I love how you guys show the differences that different modifications can make.

[@turbomopie]

Those wheels look so damn good

[@iwillseeyoutomor1607]

[@kalashnikov1343]

I've been waiting forever for the next part! Also, what do you guys think about the TRD intake system?

[@revnto7k]

Loving it. Those wheels and drop, and lip kit make it look perfect. I said I wasn't going to touch mine but maybe I will end up with some small mods.

[@aroundomaha]

The entire build makes sense and has been great to watch. This little hatch caught my eye from day one and you are giving me a small bit of buyers remorse for picking a Golf instead. Big shout out to Straight Pipes for the footage! Love seeing the quality content creators starting to work together.

These 2020 Corolla looks fantastic. Toyota should seriously consider putting the V6 Camry engine in this little Corolla. Would definitely boost interest in other future products.

[@gaivoron]

Good build, I wouldn’t do anything different. No point on putting race suspension with those power levels. You guys made a right call.

[@CiottiFPV]

Can we all support these guys more on Patreon so that they can back off on the number of commercials??? Let's DO IT!!!!!

[@gracerx]

This is great! I've been waiting for more aftermarket and enthusiast builds for this hatch. I had the opportunity to sit in one at a car show and it was really nice. Definitely a possibility for my next vehicle. Have you thought about making your custom exhaust a kit? I think another fun thing would be to figure out how to route the exhaust through the fake holes on the back. Can't wait to see the next episode!

[@VS666]

Toyota hasn't been a brand I associate with the enthusiast owner in a long time, at least they still make cars with a manual...

[@Tim82621]

Damn that thing looks good

[@TougeSolo]

What's missing : TRD intake and Progress rear sway bar. But depending on when this was filmed, they may not have been available yet. Rocking the progress RSB on mine, and it did wonders for controlling the body roll and helping with rotation. Up next I am replacing the RSR Super Down springs with RSR coilovers. Just because of the lack of aftermarket upgraded struts and shocks. Not even a TRD option :(

[@lilc5933]

This set up is amazing I have a 2019 corolla hatchback and I would love to mod my similar to this that you have Speed Academy!

[@becomeraptureready]

I daily the king of the street, the mighty Evo X. It is on a near stock tune with a 100% Group N spec set up and no interior other than door panels and dash which Group N mandates. Its also got a full livery and turboback exhaust and I must say, sometimes I think its not loud enough. Its such a great daily, and the most fun car i've ever driven and ive driven ALOT of sports cars. Perhaps you should make the Corolla full rally spec, which also maintains its street ability as all WRC cars must be road legal to compete, getting from one stage to the next. A livery and stripped and painted interior with a proper exhaust and supporting mods will truly make it a fun car. My Evo X is at about 360bhp and 3200lbs flat, its AMAZING for Manitoba winters and more than fast enough for summer. Crazy builds light the internet on fire so enough of this boring full interior looking like stock shiet especially with your Evo vs STi series c'mon

[@michaelpan7737]

That thing definitely needs some anti roll bars

[@Ztaal3]

On a setup like this with so little spring rate and a street focus I would have increased the antiroll bars to something stiffer, as on grocery getters like this they get a bit overwhelmed on track with grippier tires. And some more performance oriented mods, complete exhaust and a intake with a tune...
