Hey,
I've had my Corolla wagon for a couple of years... I did have a Nissan Pulsar Plus but there just wasn't enough room in it, so I up sized to the Corolla and haven't looked back. It's done the round and has 240,000kms on it but overall is in pretty good condition. It is a manual too. The body was mint until my wife reversed our X-Trail out of the driveway and into the wagon which she parked there! I'll get the slight dent in the passenger side front guard fixed at some stage.
A couple of months ago I bought Super Low King Springs and at that stage it still had the stockies on it. It rode OK but the shocks needed replacing and at the end of the day, the ride wasn't firm enough. I picked up a set of 18inch Apec Xpression rims and tyres for 1k from St George Tyres in Sydney. It looked really nice but the back was way too soft and when there was something in the boot or a passenger in the back, the rear tyres would scrub badly. I wasn't happy with the ride height front to rear with the super lows either, the front was a good deal higher than the back. I did some research on coil overs and spoke to Darron at Just Jap who got me in a set of BC Racing V1's for the wagon, with a heavier rear spring than what is usually supplied. I've had these in for a couple of weeks now and am really impressed with how they perform. Ultra firm and no noise either!
I took the badges off tonight but getting the double sided tape off was a pain in the ar5e. I picked up a set of wildcat 253 extractors a while back but don't have the cash right now for the rest of the exhaust, but I hope to have it sorted in a couple of months time, along with CAI.
I have a TRD grille and eye lids that I picked up cheap off Ebay being painted at the moment and will have pics up in a couple of weeks.
Cheers from Adelaide
