There were a few people walking dogs and jogging. After billy did a few donuts some stupid bitch called the cops on us. We got pulled over on our way out but luckily the cop was cool.

Hey guys wanted to post it here. If anybody wants a Saleen PJ rear bumper with maybe an hour labor or so worth of scratch's all you have to do is pick it up in Norwood. Its never been painted or installed.

Well, test drove some cars this weekend.
Fiesta: Way to small, no surprise

Focus: Failed the golf club test. Trunk was insanely small.

Focus ST: Em wanted me to toss out all practicallity and money saving and get it. Too bad I'm too fat for the Recaro's, and didn't fit.

2010 altima: Didn't have a CVT like i thought, they got those in 2011, so the highway mileage was crap.
2009 Camry hybrid: Lots of crap here.
2010 Rolla: Better to drive than the focus, more trunk space than the camry, sweet blue color, 14k.
Yea, rolla time!

If I'm not mistaken, it should have the same motor as my very first car...so...supercharge! (it's legit because it says TRD).

Lolz. How much $$$?

No clue now...Back in the day, it was like $2-3K for a complete set up with a boxed tune and all.

We used to snag them from GM dealers. Toyota discontinued the kit but it's the same kit that GM uses on the Pontiac Vibe (same motor). If you are serious, I have a buddy selling his off his corolla. They get you up to about 180hp, a solid bump in power for a daily and you maintain the same gas mileage. Installation is really really easy.

Lol, want me to ask my buddy? If you're serious, he's looking to get rid of it. I just saw new kits online are close to $4000.

Na, not worth it to get to 180.

If anything all I'll do is replace the wheels to save weight/look better/better mpg

Those Corollas are at about 130 hp stock, so a bump to 180 is significant, starting from 130 on a stock motor ...

But in the end, it's still a Corolla ... lol
