I take a great liking to your videos. Mainly the videos on your LE. I have a 05 corolla CE and I often watch your videos to get ideas. I'm always working on my car when I have free time and extra money. Been an endless project since I got it. Please please please don't ever stop making videos on the LE !!

[@WillChang]

More videos on the LE are coming! I don’t ever plan on getting rid of it!

[@CHINOINBB]

Tbh the best part of this video was legit where you hyped urself up. Cus everyone needs a moment like that when they are kinda stuck in a certain cl section of installing their car part

[@WillChang]

Very true, everyone needs some hype sometimes!

[@Kapil-Patel]

Great job bro 👍🏽

[@WillChang]

Thank you very much!

[@BilalAhmed_Official0302]

Great job man, You are a real Car Boy..

[@WillChang]

Thank you so much!

[@jaredhernandez2313]

Can’t wait for that radiator to be a Intercooler 😉, (unless that’s not your plan)

[@WillChang]

Haha if only! But I’ve been thinking of supercharging this car instead, the greddy supercharger for the 2zz doesn’t use an intercooler

[@jaredhernandez2313]

@@WillChang interesting, that’ll definitely be more original tho

👍🏼👍🏼

[@jabao9492]

Will Chang see this Royal Desing Performance for your Corolla xrs radiator cooling panel, you will love it, 4 sure!!!

[@WillChang]

Just checked them out, will definitely be grabbing a cooling panel and bumper diffuser from them! Thanks for your comment!

[@gta5gta656]

Where did you get the radiator? 🙀

[@treesleavedents]

I'm about to install the same radiator and hoses in a week and would love some more detailed pics or video on the cutting needed for fitment. Would also love your feedback on my build if you wanna see more 2zz stuff!

[@WillChang]

Feel free to Dm me on instagram @willhchang if you want some clarification on cutting the radiator support, it doesn't need too much for the radiator to be installed. I'll check out your build as well, always interested in more 2zz content!

[@treesleavedents]

@@WillChang will do!

[@samueleyasu3531]

What's up will Bro I saw this radiator is it better than the oem?Can I use it with daily driver Rolla the corolla with normal hoses or I need these hoses u post

[@WillChang]

I see it as an upgrade over the OEM radiator since it's all aluminium instead of plastic, doesn't have a risk of cracking like plastic does! And it cools more efficiently than OEM! You can use stock hoses on this radiator you don't need the ones I installed but I recommend replacing your old hoses with either the silicone ones or new OEM hoses as the old hoses may be more prone to breaking and leaking

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Q: For the thermostat installation, does it require particular orientation?

[@WillChang]

I'm not 100% sure, but I installed it with the jiggle pin at the top since that's where it was with the stock thermostat. Whether it affects anything I'm not sure, but I figured since the jiggle pin was on top from factory, that's how I should orient the new one

[@ToNZi456]

Hey Will! Where did you get your cold air intake? Seems pretty nice! 🤩

[@WillChang]

Thanks! Here’s the link for it: www.monkeywrenchracing.com/product/injen-cold-air-intake-toyota-corolla-xrs-05-06-polished/

[@artemislian5261]

would this do anything for non-xrs corollas or would you not recommend it?

[@WillChang]

It'll work just as well with other Corollas, I think all engines can benefit from an upgraded cooling system! Sure it isn't necessary on a stock engine but it doesn't hurt to have more efficient cooling

[@slayerkid7]

Where did you get that grille?

[@WillChang]

It's a stock grille, just have the XRS badge glued on there

[@artemislian5261]

where did you purchase your front strut bar?

[@WillChang]

I didn’t, the xrs came with a strut bar from factory!

[@jabao9492]

Check Ultra Racing USA, u can get a front strut bar & rear strut bar either
