👍 I'm not sure, but perhaps installing any working muffler will be an excellent temporary solution, you just need to choose the right size and weld the flange
Apologies if this is a bit unrelated but I was wondering what the wheel specs of both of your corollas were (FX16 & FXGT), both look great and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on good ae82 fitment on the net (especially track related)! Cheers.
Suspension first since it will affect enjoyment of driving the most. If you're going to do the exhaust, you should do the whole thing. Also, what is this madness called "power steering"? (AW11 gang checking in 😄)
Do they coilover first. A bad shock absorber can cause much damage than a leaking endbox. And changing the whole piping including the header and downpipe wouldn't provide any additional advantage than the stock ones apart from looking shiny. I would rather fix the leaks of the stock piping and replace the endbox with an aftermarket, not so loud like Trd or FGK or similar to those. On side note, I really enjoy your videos. Try to take inspirations from your work you do on your car. I live in Bangladesh and own an AE111 Corolla GT (JDM variant). Please do keep the Corolla and 4age contents coming. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers.
Hey man, what size bet did you use for the power steering pump without a tensioner? I saw the same being asked on an old video of yours when you replaced the vvti pulley. I have removed the ac in my car and mrp are charging $300+ for a non ac tensioner, so would be great to know the belt length to avoid all that, cheers.
I don’t recall what size it was. I used some non-stretchy string (shoe laces work) and wrapped it around the pulleys to get a measurement. Then I went to my auto store and got a belt a little bit smaller so it would stay on snug. The belt cost me like 15 bucks.
Do you reeaaallly need a full coilover set for that car ? I would just call a set of KYB Excel G shock on RK and call it a day. save money for a decent exhaust and just do a good maintenance. That my two cents :) I'm in the same boat with My black GT-S
Maintenance before mods, definitely sort out that rear suspension
100%
and you don't HAVE to do coilovers. A mild upgrade will be easier to "sort out" than going straight to "race ready"
7:36 in my opinion you should do the coilovers first. Then a full exhaust system 😊
The shocks first. A crashed car won't need an exhaust. Thanks for the video.
6:29 sushpants evil twin bother appeared, pushsants!
Buy once, Cry once!. Proper coilovers and a full stainless system is what you need!
4:14 crocs 'n socks, they don't deserve the hate they get
I love my friggin’ crocs!
Coilovers first! The car will only sound rowdier with more holes in it 🤣Awesome trick with the painter's tape on the steering wheel too
Yesss smile on my face when sushpants posts
Fujitsubo exhaust!
Coilovers first, then once you have the cash, full proper exhaust.
Loving the old school TE37s.
Welcome back! Great maintenance work. I love your style and approach to keeping an old(er) car in tip top shape.
The car sounds insane at the end. Sounds so good!
"Both? Both. Both is good."
👍

A little fact for you about how light those TE37's are: They were originally named TE37 because they only weighed 3.7kg (8.1lb) each!
je pense qu'il faudrait changer les amortisseurs en premier pour la sécurité. et merci de vos partage
I’d go for the exhaust, though the AE92 exhaust may not fit properly. The car is a bit longer and the hanger locations are different…
Suspension first big dawg
As long as the leaking exhaust fumes aren't melting anything, suspension first.

Sounds nice ❤

Working on cars is much easier when you clone yourself :D
Maintenance before mods any day of the week.
Maybe get an axle back as a temporary fix but first get coilies.. does the 4age blacktop oem exhaust manny fit on the 16v head?
The 4age blacktop manny fits but they’re hard to find these days and they can be pricey.
Here in South Africa they're about R400 to R600 which is about 22usd to 33 usd
Suspension first. The header will not improve performance much (if at all) versus the stock unit on an otherwise stock 4AGE 16v.
definitely exhaust first, and what tire size u running on the jdm corolla??
Coilover man that thing is busted the exhaust doesnt matter right now 😂😂
Do the suspension nice, and replace the muffler with a turn down. Then do the full exhaust at a later date.

Thank you so much for watching!
why wont changing the exhaust provide any advantage?

@@sushpants perfect man I appreciate that, I’ll give that a try
For anyone else looking 5pk 884mm worked for me

def do suspension, but what happened to the 20v fx16?
I still have the 20v fx16 but it also needs a lot of maintenance.
First mow your lawns, then shocks, then full exhaust.
First item has been taken care of 😂.
What is your rear brake setup ( disc and calliper )
It’s the original rear disc/caliper the FX-GT came with.
Why don't you fit a blacktop header for better mid range
The blacktop header is hard to find these days and cost has increased dramatically for them.
@@sushpants if you really interested, I do have one available and I'm sure facebook market place will have a few second hand ones
What happened with the other engine the 4age 20v?
It’s waiting patiently for me to fix its broken wheel bearings.
Ohhh i understood. You have two fx 16 😅😅
6:28 man, my twin brother never helps me mount my wheels
It is surely more urgent to go with suspension. It is a safety item. Exhaust is purely enjoyment. In the end though, do all the things.
Arrrgh! the 100kph (you're going too fast) dinger. Man I hated those so much.
Hello I would like to fine an automatic transmission for fx 16 Corolla if you no how my car is 87.
First the coilovers because driving with a blown shock is not a good idea. The exhaust is not a safety issue.
You need to find super charged mr2 and do swap
First buy KYB 332012 and 332001 rear shock absorbers. Then a proper exhaust system.
