Well I recently got a 2002 Toyota Corolla CE, not for any specific purpose. I just happened to have a 1993 Blazer that someone wanted to trade an 02 corolla for. Im not a big fan of huge vehicles, so was a fair title trade. But as far as my Corolla goes it is a 1.8 of course and I have been browsing around the web and trying to find the widest variety of upgrades I can for it but seems like there are wider variety in like 90's-01 and then 03+ but the 2002 upgrades are just not a lot. So my question is, anyone have any good tips for beginning modifications. Of course I am already thinking about Intake & Exhast. Briefly thought about strut bars & sway bars, any other ideas? or possible any web sites somebody could point me in the right direction. Any other additional information would help to, been reading up on info. about tuning I know this car isn't the best to learn on but it will be better than what I previously had(chevy corsica haha). Also I have a couple other questions about actual tuning as far as ECU or computer related parts. Im pretty sure I need a piggy back, as well as a laptop correct. Is my car not really a good model/year for tuning, etc. If I am needing any other information can someone point me in a good direction or feedback is good I know these questions are very novice lol
Thanks, Corbin

In my opinion, you don't have a very "tunable" car.  I mean, there's a reason that you can't find any parts for it... lol.
