I dont know how that is a svt killer. I took one fairly eaisly on the highway about a week ago and I have the 06 St focus. Looks decent nontheless.

Also how did you get 15.1 out of it if only you put on an injen cai? I know my car dont do that low in the quarter.

 

Just a little joke to get people to click on the thread.

But ... 15.1 @ 93 with an intake is very possible (a few people have cracked a 14.9). My room mate ran a 14.8 @ 96 with intake + fart can. If you ran a Corolla on the highway and took it, I can assure you it wasn't an XRS. Prolly an S ... an automatic 2005 Corolla S will barely squeak off a 17.0 on a good day.

 

Looks decent. That front bumper gives it the look of a Lexus, I forget the model. Def needs rims and more "go". That 1/4 mile time is impressive with just a CAI and 4-doors. Overall looks pretty good. Some different rims will def set it off.

my magnaflow is NOT a fart can! it looks exactly the same as the stock muffler

And yeah, you probably raced an S/CE/LE. The XRS is a whole 'nother beast.

 

Great photos!!!

 

Nice pics!
Definitely a clean look overall. :thumbup:
The Corolla has sure changed it's looks from the old days.

Just as a side note, there is someone floating around here who might have some door sills for you... :lol:

 

:lol: Oh no, not with the door sills..

So what engine/horsepower/torque is there in the XRS? I've yet to ever see one of these in person so I'm clueless I LOVED your old ZX3 though, can't believe you sold it and I had no idea

Yes, but even a Corolla S can make a ZX3 look silly.

The XRS is the 2ZZ-GE motor found in the Celica GT-S and the Matrix XRS. Its rated at like 170hp/130tq from the factory. Byron's XRS dynoed 164 on the ground with the intake + fart can.

XRS seems to be pretty rare. Seems like all the one's I've seen thru the internet are in SoCal. A lot of people are "clueless" ... hence the reason I love this car.

I beg to differ. When I got my ZX3 back in 2002, I was comparing it side-by-side to a shiny new 03 Corolla S. What kept me away from the Corolla was the price (almost 18k fully loaded vs my 12k for my Focus fully loaded) and the fact they are are slow as balls. Like pathetically slow. Granted, the ZX3 is no land rocket ... and least it's fun to drive. The Corolla S is ... eh. (The XRS has a heavily upgraded suspension, so it's substantially more fun to drive. Adding my S-Tech lowering springs actually made the car handle a little worse than OEM ... I'll prolly swap out for H-tech's, which aren't are low, but are much stiffer than S-techs.)

For 2005, they added the drive-by-wire thing to the CE/LE/S models, and they got about a half second slower in the 1/4. A 2005 5-speed Corolla will pull off a 16.8, maybe on a good day. The TRD s/c brings it in the realm of the XRS, similiar power to what a JRSC can do for a ZX3. (A Greddy s/c for my motor -- which I unfortunately can't affford -- will throw down ~250 on the ground with a good tune.)

 

That's a really nice looking sedan.
You have confirmed my suspicions that those cars would look really nice with the apropriate drop. :thumbup:
First one I've seen that wasn't at stock ride height.

 

nice! looks great. all i have to say is bring it! :lol:

-spatakula

 

nice! i have much respect for the Corolla XRS and the celica gts...both great cars with that engine...so no knocks here

although, the Matrix XRS is a poop...i've taken it one when i had my lentech in, don't kno if it was a auto or not, but they suck...maybe its the added weight/AWD that blew it


nice car tho, mod that sucker!


-chris

 

I beg to differ.

Okay, well maybe my ZX3 is just extra slow.

Regardless, that's a good looking sedan you've got. :thumbup:

So I guess no one's seen my Focus anywhere....

 

im tellin you, if jetters sell their foci....they should also put in the clause or at least support the buyer to signup on FJ

:lol:...i know i would

My buyer did sign up ... his user name is 2yellow2focus ... but he hasnt posted in awhile. I think he sold it or traded it in for an F-150 (as per the jax racing site). So who knows ....

is it me of does this car look like it has nitrous added to it? Maybe a 35 shot? If so your AF above6.5k looks DANGEROUSLY lean. Like it will explode lean.
-bix

 

Not nitrous, its the toyota equilvalent of Vtec kicking in. Without it, the motor has around 120-130whp.

 

yeah i was wondering the same thing about the nitrous. looks like it got a pretty hefty jump at about 6700 rpms.

-spatakula

 

I've always wondered what that curve would look like if it ran the aggressive profile full time.

Quite frankly, from the looks of that curve, a 6700RPM switchover is just stupid. I'd guess the curves would cross somewhere around 5500RPM. THAT'S when the switchover should happen.

 

^^ It's called "lift". A wicked cool cam crossover that does ... well, what you see on the dyno graph. We're patiently awaiting someone to come out with an affordable unit (like a PFC) that will lower the lift to about 5500, which is right where the power starts to drop off until 6800 when the lift kicks in.

 

nice. that would be well worth it.

-spatakula

 

The HP looks good, the torque looks VERY weak. To me it looks like your normal trade of hp for torque. I bet they make up for that with some wicked gearing (6 speed). It looks pretty sweet, now if ford were to do this with the 2.3L with a Stock Cossie 1 kit...humm....

it worked, because i think they only have 17-180 something brake horsepower?

HAHA, I loved that post.

thats Mr Bold. to you


but on a side note. Ive taken a few Corolla S's, so yes, they are slow as balls.
