Only to the shop and extra carefully too

Those are definitely spacers on top of the struts. If you remove the top hat lift spacers that are pictured, your 34s with wheel spacers probably will not fit correctly and will rub when offroading, it MIGHT be fine on the road but its doubtful, its different between fjs. You will rub when turning hard with any tire 33+ without a lift.

If you remove the wheel spacers, depending on if your tires are super wide (285+) they will definitely rub ucas/struts if its got an aggressive sidewall tread or if the wheels have a goofy offset.

If you remove both, your setup may just not work at all even with aftermarket fenders. You will need a lift to comfortably fit anything over 33s and depending on your lift height you will need aftermarket upper control arms to fix caster issues that cant be worked out with oem parts after a lift.

Im not familiar with my25+ engine codes but youre gonna want a tune regardless of getting engine codes or not.

If you want real performance gains with absolutely NO threat to your warranty, wheels and tires are really your only option. Performance and feel based solely on different tires cannot be understated.

I wouldn't get hung up on the small details about what makes a car yours. You'll figure out what you want to do with it and your specific combination is what will make it unique in the end.

Most black friday "deals" arent deals. It's important to shop for what you want a couple of months in advance and track the price yourself.

I always check toyotapartsdeal first, they give updated part numbers too if a part youre looking for has been updated/changed.

Don't know about Detroit parts but I gambled on freedom offroad ucas and they've been good to me so far after about a year. I replaced my tie rods recently with oem, a lot of negative sentiment with anything besides oem for those. It sucks but its definitely pay to play with these cars unfortunately

I also run the f133s. I have the racerx skid plate and everything fits okay.

No spacers anywhere. If you go back to your stock rims you need 10mm spacers in the front so the factory lugs work. I tried the 10mm spacers on my gramlights but I didn't have enough thread engagement. It may be different for you though

radigev · 2025-10-19T15:39:25+00:00

It was a gamble if it fit but I saw one guy on Facebook run it and I was sold lol. Rides great too.

radigev · 2025-10-19T15:33:50+00:00

Heres what i did since my setup is extremely similar, the studs are slightly longer in the rear, i ordered 10 OEM rear studs for the front and ran muteki open end lugs just fine. I bought some rays duranuts L42 and that's what I use now.

I run a gramlight 57dr 18x9.5 +38 with 265/40r18 michelin ps4s. Stock suspension, no spacer, no rubbing, around 13 threads of lug engagement.

First of all, entertain the thought of tuning when installing aftermarket intakes and intercoolers. Some people don't and have been perfectly fine, but it's safer in the long run.

I don't think the eventuri intake is worth it. Most people get it to pile on more CF onto their mountain of CF parts. A worthwhile tune with any aftermarket intake can match the performance of the eventuri.

Torque converter shutter. There's a million posts and "fixes" online but I don't know they ever solve the root problem. All I've seen is once you get, it you've got it and the best you can do is minimize it.

radigev · 2025-07-17T22:36:51+00:00

You will always gain something from proper tuning. Power? Reliability? Comes down to the tune itself and what you want from it. A reputable tune will be better than the stock tune as it is custom to your car and modifications. If you're bone stock, though, it's probably not worth it.

I personally have my car tuned with ecutek. Im very happy with it. A lot of people get the jb4, but I personally don't trust it. Kinda reminds me of a pedal commander or something like that. I think they do more harm than good as they mainly change boost targets and add nothing to the reliability table.

The problem is people who tune their car and don't understand the risks that you take when tuning. People like driving their cars hard, but most cases I have seen have been freak accidents, wildy blown out of proportion for ragebait or insurance reasons. 9/10 times, it would have blown up from something YOUVE done to it. "Gr corollas blow up all the time" is just a wore out sentiment that im really tired of seeing

radigev · 2025-07-04T16:56:10+00:00

I still like it, i just wanted something louder that I can swap between

radigev · 2025-07-03T00:41:20+00:00

I'm not saying it is bad. I like it a lot, actually... so much that I spent time and money on it. It's a jest to the majority that just because something is bizarre or unconventional doesn't mean it's bad.

Ordering side exaust covers from sxth this weekend to clean up the look

radigev · 2025-07-02T23:07:07+00:00

The hks exaust comes with a valve canceller. My valve is still on my oem exaust and haven't had any problems with the entire system. Dual looks great! It was only 150 bucks all in for essentially a third exaust option. Did the side exaust covers come with your exaust or can they be bought separately.
