There are various models of Toyota Corolla but normally 1.3 and 1.6l are the engines that are mostly used. Unfortunately, 1.3 engines can not be upgraded but when it comes to 1.6l engine, it is upgradable by means of a 6 speed gear box and little other alterations in some other parts. A few alterations and a small tuning will surely enhance the engine speed and efficiency by as much as 40%.

When it happens, it is the right time to buy modified tires. Tires of different types and different quality can be bought from almost everywhere. They are not only available at specialized stores but are even available at ordinary car shops. The brakes are of no big issue with Toyota Corolla. However, if one wishes to drive at high speeds and really wish for brakes, then adding sports brake pads can be of a valuable addition.
