Hey everyone, so I've been slowly tearing down and reusing things from my GR Corolla circuit that I wrecked at the track. Since I will be going with a stripped interior, I have been figuring out components that I could put into my 2022 XSE. After doing the front seats, I found while not exactly a direct swap the parts are reversible and swappable. This led me to start looking at connectors instead of part numbers.

I really wanted to take advantage of the nice HKS wheel I bought for my 2023 circuit instead of it sitting. I ordered a new airbag for the wheel (factory GR airbag/hornpad) and a spiral cable to make it compatible. I had checked the plugs leading into the spiral cable, in the xse compatible connections that were all existing and plugged into the GR spiral cable. After confirming that, I disconnected it's wire set from the spiral cable and removed the wheel. Inspection of my xse spiral cable with my GR spiral cable in hand revealed that the top plug, where the steering wheels harness plugs in actually matched. I then checked the wires for the airbag, and they also were identical in shape, length, routing and connection. I mounted the GR HKS wheel, tightened the bolt plug in the harness, plugged in the pad, and placed the horn pad in place. Done, no need to replace the spiral cable at all.

My HKS wheel for my 2023 GR Corolla Circuit mounted and plugged into my spiral cable of a 2022 Corolla XSE without issue. The wheel is a slightly smaller diameter and is top notch quality. Big handling upgrade to the hatch.

ngl, I have no idea what to do. I’m going to buy BC racing coil overs. i’m not gonna be installing a shop is. any recommendations on how low I should go this is a daily driven vehicle. I would like a slammed look. Would that be around 2.75 inches? tires are 225/40R18

I added the B pillar door edge seals and the silicon seal around the latches. Whole deal was about 20 bucks. Added maybe 6 ounces of weight. The wind noise and rattles were greatly reduced and or eliminated. I love this car but some of the rattles get old hearing. Im not saying this is a fix all. I am not endorsing a brand. Im just stating my personal experience.

At first I heard sloshing and assumed I left some water bottles in the car, then I thought maybe it was gas sloshing around in the tank, until I figured out noise was coming from the door. :( I had seen posts about this before, was sad to see it happened to me too.

2022 hatch, Modifications coming soon <3.

is anyone rocking tein street basis, rev9, or godspeed coils here? Im trying to go low as soon as possible and i've honestly come to the point to getting coil overs, but if you guys can talk me out of buying cheaper coil overs, i'll go with lowering springs. My buddies who have rev9 coils say they haven't had an issue and it is really promising but if anyone here has had bad experiences, some advice would help!

Found someone selling OEM FX edition rims and decided to jump the gun. I dont think the FX ever came in this color so the combo looks nice.

The FX rims are 18×8 +40 so 20mm spacers are already in the way lmao

Last pic is how the tandems ran. 18x9.5 +22

Traded in my 2025 4runner because I'm moving to the UK for a couple years in august. Came across this guy (2022 SE, 55K miles) and had to have it. Had no clue there was such a massive community here.

Glad to be a part now.

2020 hatchback. 35k miles. Anyone else have a problem with the windshield wipers randomly getting stuck? Also when I go to turn them off, they’ll keep going when lever is in the off position. Any insight appreciated

I just recently drove from Mississippi to Pennsylvania and back again. The amount of tiny rock chips I got on my hood (23 Corolla Hatch Se Inferno) has me a tad bent. I’m thinking about purchasing the attached bra, because it gives the best coverage. Does anyone else have this or something similar?
