My New Corolla

lookin good greg glad you decided to keep it

me too mate. so as im not sellin any more it feels like im startin the project all over again as i took everything out of the car. now im puttin the clarion headunit back in also sprayed up my safc and in the process of mounting it on the dash, got a new exhaust for it too all of which will hopefully be on by JAE.

i never even thought about liking rola cola but i do love this, underated car really. looks sweet greg.

Smart move keeping it Greg...........looks very nice with the lip.......not much room to play hop scotch with the speed bumps though.....carefull dude

cheers guys and yeah speed bumps ok just really slow, its kurbs that have caused the problem when it crunched the other day.

mounted the safc yesterday and got the rear bumper in at body panche for the corner skirts to be fitted for jae, hopin to get my bargain exhaust fitted to if phil isnt too busy.

loving the lip greg, makes it look agressive

i know most of you saw the car at JAE but heres a forum update any way. SAFC is now mounted and will hopefully be wired in the next couple of days. rear bumper is complete and exhaust is fitted, also re fitted my headunit but made a better job of it this time pics or this will follow soon.

a quick update on the changes to the corolla and my plans for the 2011 show season.

i love my car and how it looks but there are a few things that i am not happy with, first up is the way although it gets a fair bit of attention, me being me i always strive for more, so ivce set about a few subtle changes to make the car really stand out from every other corolla on the road. first up, while i was getting the xmas decs down from the loft i found a few parts from my mr2, mainly my apr cannards,



this got me thinking and i thort they would transform the front of the corolla so i set about the bumper, the result definatly works even if i do say so myself





next up after a few hours of drilling, cutting, grinding and welding i finally managed to make my new seats fit, they are leather sports seats from a gen 7 celica and have really changed the sportiness of the interior



finally the biggest change im currently working on is the stance of the car cos in my opinion stance and wheel choice can completly make or break a car. i have been looking at genuine jdm wheels to replace my 5 spokes now as everyone knows i have kind of a soft spot for the advan 3 spokes, however they are near impossible to find in 17" four stud fitment. as a result i have decided to go for a 5 stud conversion which will help the stance of the car due to 25mm spacers being required. i have also purchased a new set of genuine volk racing 3 spokes as a more individual choice to the advans, plus they were a really good price also i think they really sey the cannards off and once i have put my own ideas into place the car will be demanding a lot more attention im sure.





so let the work begin im sure the wheels are gonna look awesome but they aint gonna be easy to fit due to spacers, stud conversions, tyre choice and more than likely arch flaring and rolling.
