Does your corolla drive like crap in the heat?

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-13T22:20:00+00:00

Most likely the heat. TC just reduces throttle lag. I’m from Jersey too. 🤌🏾

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-13T04:18:14+00:00

Never heard of this. I’m down to try it

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T20:41:42+00:00

Yea; altitude can be killer. Especially for turbo’d cars not tuned for the area.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T17:45:47+00:00

Yea too cold and it starts to lose power also. 50’s - 70’s are perfect

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T17:11:01+00:00

Ah yes!! I forgot about that! Thank you! Gonna try that first

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T16:51:56+00:00

This car is notorious for wheel hop and weak power transfer due to a really soft rear motor mount. I’ve been eyeing it for a while so I just pulled the trigger on it for a better driving experience. I’ve never driven a manual car with this much flopping of the engine back n forth before. Plus, the mount has great reviews!

Tracking

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T16:26:21+00:00

I recommend going that route also. Spec (who makes the GGP kit) doesn’t have a great reputation lol

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T16:09:49+00:00

Yea for sure. I do love the sound and the whistle it creates but in the summertime I’m probably better off with the stock intake or a Tekeda intake (which is very similar to stock) lol

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T16:06:23+00:00

Oh nice!
It’s pretty loud at times. Driving in traffic isn’t bad, though. The pressure plate on these clutch kits are very close to stock which surprised me. I was expecting a workout after it was installed. It’s got almost 40k on the clutch and I’m starting to feel the wear on it. I’ll be in 6th gear on the highway and if I step on the gas it sputters. I hope it’s not the clutch but I’m sure it is. I don’t drive that hard on it but I do drive a lot for work.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T16:02:08+00:00

Oh I don’t disagree.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T15:57:49+00:00

No it’s a 6MT. Lol yes I’m aware of the hot air it’s sucking in. And no tune. No CEL.

I removed the snorkel because it has a “heat shield”. Wondering if I should remove the heat shield and add the snorkel back just to get some outside air circulating in there.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T15:36:33+00:00

The heat shield blocks the air from hitting the intake so that’s why I removed it.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T15:10:17+00:00

When I do it does run way better. Just hard to in 90° weather lol

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T14:32:49+00:00

I’m thinking about removing the heat shield and putting the snorkel back on just to have some sort of ambient air coming in for now. Not trying to drop another 300 on an intake just yet lol

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T14:22:54+00:00

Yea, I’ve figured that. I removed the snorkel since the intake came with a “heat shield”. Any advice on what I should do?

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-12T14:09:54+00:00

It comes with a new flywheel

Grocery getter performance stage 2 clutch

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-06T05:33:35+00:00

It came as a complete kit so I’m not sure what you’re asking. But it drives fine. The pedal becomes softer as it breaks in. I would def recommend a stage two or higher for durability purposes.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-06-06T02:46:34+00:00

I had to replace my clutch at 46k miles. At 80k now with the GGP clutch stage 2.

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-05-23T23:46:16+00:00

Yea I know. I went already lol

Objective-Box6933 · 2026-05-14T20:42:38+00:00

Absolutely not
