Im running an early 03 ecu so about 6.2k the dyno chart suggests the changeover starts at around 5.6k Followup coming soon with a Link ECU and a tune 👌🏽

Gotta stay scouring fb marketplace and junkyards. If one comes around in our group chat, I'll let you know 🤘🏼

100% worth it 👌🏽 hardest part is getting the new bushing in. As long as you heat only the OUTSIDE of the old bushing, removal and cleanup is easy 😂 I appreciate you watching 🙏🏼

There's definitely more feedback, but I wouldn't call it excessive. It's still daily driveable and if you have coilovers you can adjust your damping accordingly. I think it's a "must do" and they last way longer than the rubber ones

Hell yea bro! its not far off, just needs more money 😅

She definitely takes interest in working on cars, gotta pass it on to save the next generation 🤣 appreciate you watching 🙏🏼 definitely more coming

Appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼

@@crvnts much appreciated 🙏🏼 both solid choices for the price

@@jam_thagoat3283 tried to keep it as simple as possible and how important this is if you want a good handling car. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@blonzitsaloongarage i ended up just running coilovers and returning the ground controls. Still a cool option that may work better for some other chassis. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@alexandra4873_ as long as you take your time with it, it should come out nice and clear. Thanks for watching🙏🏼🤘🏼

@hman0429 yes, it brought my passenger side back to within spec, but my beam is worn and tweaked so my driver side was still out of spec. I only had to run a shim on the driver side

@ Darn I was almost hoping you’d say no😅 I had an alignment scan today and was just gonna put the shims on (My driver side is positive camber and passenger is negative, plus both sides are toe’d to the right) but then I saw your shim video and mentioned the bushings😅 guess I’ll have to go back for at least 1 more scan after the bushings. Thanks for the clear and thorough walk thru.

@hman0429 awwww yeah I also had a few extra alignments 🤣 but in order, set ride height,install all bushings then alignment, correct with shims, then final alignment 🤣 But once it's dialed in, it's like the car chakras are all aligned and it feels amazing to drive 😂 thanks for watching and the support 🤘🏼🤘🏼 anybquestions feel free to hmu

@@Ma70rk looking forward to the suspension reaching enlightenment 🙏🏽😂 Thanks again 👊🏽

Much appreciated 🙏🏼 same here, love the Hondas and honestly believe their 4 cyl are superior but I got a thing for toyotas 😂 thanks again for watching 🤘🏼

it was a moral victory for sure, appreciate you watching 🙏

@@tsquared4455 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Absolutely. This in conjunction with the alignment shims and ride height. Geometry is correct and handling is best it's ever been 👌🏽. I think it's necessary for lowered cars

Lol this one is the exact opposite 🤣 barebones, surprised it came with A/C. Idk if it will hit 80mph but it's really nostalgic and a real easy car to drive. It's definitely gonna be my old man cruiser. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

@jollytime0811 appreciate you watching and I gotta affiliate link to try and support the hobby, but here's the link to the exact tool I used. Well worth it in getting this done www.ebay.com/itm/203817786024?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=v5FgdoHwRsu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=mKyJ7zVBQiu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@tinogg3 ill be making another diy when I find a leather gts seat. The celica and matrix seat brackets are nearly identical. You need the base from the matrix and the back frame from the celica. You'll see that the celica upper bracket is held on with 3 bolts, the matrix bracket is welded in the same spot. You need to cut above those bolt holes. You'll then have to enlarge 2 existing holes in the matrix seat bracket. Use the hardware from the celica seat to bolt the celica back to the mateix base. Feel free to message me for more details

@@Ma70rk thanks for the info. Did you ever think about looking into a FRS seat?

@tinogg3 yes, I just happen to find this gt seat in decent condition, but those and rsx seats are all options I would experiment with if I can find one at a decent price

@lordkratos4747 definitely an early video, for me at least, maybe worth revisiting next time I need to pull the valve cover off. Appreciate you watching tho🤘🏼 any questions, feel free to ask

What's good fam? 🤘🏼

@jaredsmith1944 what's up man, welcome to the matrix family 🤘🏼looking at the stock setup, possibly some extended seat rails, but I haven't tried searching (I'm not 6'4 and don't have this challenge 😭) but if you went with aftermarket seats, you could get a low seat bracket and mount the seat as far back as you need. Corbeau makes bolt in seat brackets for our car and can be paired with almost any aftermarket seat

@AustinKamuela larry Chen late to the corolla game 😂

@@Ma70rk he will show up soon enough 🤣

@@AustinKamuela he doesn't rock budget gear 😂 he probably got an LLC 😭

@@Ma70rk lmao bro he got more than that! Hes a Canon ambassador and he travels the world covering car culture. Hes the automotive journalist that every automotive journalist want to grow up and be like!

@AustinKamuela i know 😭 definitely living the dream lol but we got cooler corollas 😂

The TRD lower grille looks sweet tho! It'll probably be easier to touch up the paint from rock chips vs the stock plastic grille getting chipped away

@PlayinWithMahWii appreciate it! Yeah I've always wanted one. I had a TRD cold air and I gave it away to one of the matrix guys in SoCal at toyotafest. 03 is the best year 👌🏽 They do come up once in a while though. The overlay is not bad, really up close you can tell it's not oem but probably best available these days

@SamOHalloran I know mines gotta be coming in lime the next 30k. I'm waiting on a junkyard c60 to try and install the toyota helical lsd 🤞🏼 thanks again for watching !🙏🏼

Glad this helped 🤟thanks for watching!

@TheMandoPando each one is practice bro and made for real ones, strict no clout chase / clickbait or dumb trendy shit policy 🤣

@user83200 I think it's absolutely necessary, especially with the age our cars are coming up on. Dialing in the alignment literally transforms the cars handling exponentially. These rear axle beams usually are out of spec w/toe and camber. These bushings are almost future proof, aside from the actual beam getting tweaked. These combined with a stiff rear sway bar adds to how stable and predictable the car handles . 10/10 recommend

@ItsFonzy I think you could, but make sure your wood is stable, you could also lower the car, mark a line across the bushing and housing, then get the car back up on jackstands and jack the wheel up until the marks line up. Be safe and thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Glad to help some 🤘🏼🤘🏼 thanks for watching

@Samoan_Diecast lmao it's all good 😂 I got a refund, it's on BCs now and alignment is dialed in. Car feels great and looks good now. But hell yea 🤘🏼 much appreciated bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@bamabonkers I've seen a set of Grey ones once before a few years back, couldn't pass these up, took 2 trips with the wheelbarrow to the car 😂. It definitely makes the car look more cared for. Check car-part.com , sometimes they have some treasure and most dismantlers ship

@jtboy888 it's sold as "for toyotas" but working with it, I don't see how it could not work with pretty much any bushing you can get the "C" clamp on. As long as there's room to fit that part, it should work

@PlayinWithMahWii I know there's few brands out there, this one is Classic Soft Touch, based out of Oregon but they have 3rd party installers 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Bro, this is what 1350 got me at Maaco 😂 I didn't have dents to work out, heard a lot of good things about my local Maaco and so far it's been almost 3 years. I'm happy with it, there are some imperfections but for the price I don't have many complaints. The car is garaged tho so I believe that's helping quite a bit

🙏🏼🙏🏼 our options are too limited 😅

@slow.elantra427 yeah bro I went with the BCs I got it dialed in now, was a mission correcting alignment specs and getting the suspension geometry to work together. But now car looks good and handles really well. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@gavsinnovation8747 definitely DIY or die 😁 the actual work isn't hard, it's just making sure your calculations are correct, don't break the shim and have your axle beam bushings in order so your alignment specs don't shift

@scratch90 definitely a treasure hunt. I'm sure you could come up on something for a deal. They probably also have profit margins they need to meet

@@Ma70rk Yeah. I figure as much, but if its what you need or rare like you said, maybe worth getting. All the wheels are tempting there, but reality sits in that I have a set and should work with what I got until I need a new look.

Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼

"That's more than retail"! 🤣 appreciate you watching 🤘🏼

A lot of the stuff was, some over retail 😂

They do! I figured maybe they'd want to get the stuff off and out the door as soon as possible, there wasn't any negotiating either. They didn't wanna sell me the white upgarage towel 🤣 I literally saw it back there behind the counter

Yeah, it's more like a TOURIST attraction.
