....i was expecting a video, not a sound clip. that proves nothing.

 

LOL a sound clip with NO footage. Sorry thats sad. And funny ahhaha.

Why dont you ask SPECIFIC questions instead of which is better, White or Black, cause by the looks of it, you're getting fed up cause your not getting answers. But your question is so general it's hard to put a finger on it.

 

i asked a question and have gotten 1 answer, what is a downfall to having a ralliart?

 

its not a evo

 

a stock ralliart will smoke a stock lexus is300 everytime , i brushed three off my shoulder already

 

i say buy a 1984 gti, and swap the newer 1.8t No one would suspect....

 

If your gonna even consider a XRS against a ralliart, than go ahead and buy a XRS. I can understand a specV, rsx-s or an 06 Si over a ralliart, but an XRS? . That car is no competiton for the ralliart, non what's so ever. Looks, power and performance... non. Reliability, yes... it's a toyota.

Oh yeah, no way your friend with an 98 rolla with I/E beat an is300, even an auto is 300 will still beat it.

To even go futher, check out speedoptions review on both cars and two others, chalk up another "W" for the ralliart,

Downfall to having a Ralliart?

Lets see, lack of 6th gear means not optimal gas mileage. Suspension gets kind of creaky after 2 years but works just fine. Crappy stock tires. Lackluster interior compared to some other cars. Thats about all the negatives I can say about my car.

You're right to compare the two. On paper, they definitely seem like a good comparison, however, every article gives the xrs a very subpar rating compared to the ralliart and spec v. Not a good bang for the buck in my opinion. Doesn't make good use of the celica engine, suspension isn't that great, response and reaction is sluggish and its a corolla so don't expect to stand out.

 

nice article !!, every time i read it, it makes me appreciate the ralliart a whole lot more!

 

The only thing I dislike about the Ralliart is the interior. That's also what I hate about the EVO. It's just so simple and plain. I guess it's just not my style.

The stock tires being crappy has been mentioned, but it's worth mentioning again. Another thing is the front grill. Everyone changes it and puts a mesh grill in.

Other than that, the Ralliart is a great car; it is well worth the money you spend on it. And it's hella fun to drive

 

 

so im buying a ralliart...

drove the corolla again today right after the ralliart, and decided i didnt like to have to rev up to 6500+ to get power... so yeah

now, what should i do first?

with my tax return im buying a gaming computer soillhave to wait to mod, but what should be first?

 

Underdrive Pulley

Simple, cheap, and best bang for the buck.

 

once again your question is broad and leads us to a road with 3 forks in it.

Handling? rear sway bar, rear tie bar
Power? intake/exhaust/ecu
Drivetrain? Underdrive pulley

let us know what you are looking for. There are many things that can be done, your so called MOD you want can be a cosmetic change for all we know, and then bigdog goes and recommends a pulley.

 

True, but he gave a broad question so I gave my answer based on a person that wants both cosmetic and performance mods (like myself). So I still stand by the pulley.
