$500 budget, I'd actually do a whiteline adjustable rear sway bar. Probably the single biggest way to change a front drive Corolla's handling to make it think it is a rear wheel drive Corolla

(totally guessing what car you drive by looking at your avatar).

I think my best bet is to sort out the air filter/box situation and get some blacktop extractors. Are those a straight swap with the silvertop ones?

On the ECU part, is it just plug and play or do you need to get it tuned by someone like speedtech also? $250 is pretty damn good, second hand?

P.s Leon, that was more like my old car :) Check my profile now.

So with the Blacktop extractors, would those be a straight swap out, bolt up? Also would it be worth wrapping them in exhaust wrap (whatever you call it)

yes bt 4-2 just bolt on.

You will have trouble finding a M/T plugin ecu, the one I had was stickered inside saying the rom was flashed in 1997. The two oners who ave had it since me have been very happy.

Just to double check. The extractors from an AE111 blacktop levin will bolt straight onto my AE101 Corolla Silvertop with no modifications?
