hey congrats on the car and welcome. Its sweet that you got a 5spd, is it a v6?

[joezee]

Not only will it be quick, but add the S/C and you'll love it even more. SE v6 5spd is a very rare car, nice find

Welcome! and most importantly, welcome to the rare 5spd SE V6 club! If you want any ideas, my friend Steve's site is a good place to start:

Steve is a member of teamsc3.com. He isn't a member of this forum. The 5spd V6 never sold really well and therefore not many were produced. It was also discontiued for 2003

Hehe...you won't get the great gas mileage the Corolla gets. But still has been reliable for me..and i'm up to 75k. I sure do miss my 90 Corolla LE (30mpg avg).
