  1. Hey, Can someone advise whether BC Camber Tops will fit onto standard 123R struts? Really happy with the way my Sportivo handles with super lows on KYB Struts, infact it's better than the B1 BC coilovers I had in my now sold 122 wagon. Thanks, Tim
  2. Hi, Chasing a cold air induction setup for my 2ZZ-FE. Please pm or call me if you have something available. Tim 0401 412 245 Adelaide
  3. Hopefully was mine. Spotted a neat Sportivo on Sth Rd just past The Vic at OHalloran Hill... Got a wave and all!
  4. That is unreal. It's what every wagon owner wants theirs to be!
  5. Yep still in Adelaide... down at Seaford Rise. I'd have a crack at the exhaust with a mate of mine who has a pipe bender. I know Mark's work is excellent but I just couldn't justify the coin... not on a Corolla anyway. Pretty happy with it, just not sure what I should do next. Darker tinted windows possibly.
  6. I forgot to mention, I ordered RAD-122 plates the other day. Hopefully have it on in the next couple of weeks.
  7. I finally got around to getting the eyelids and grill painted. Pic is attached. No real progress on the exhaust although I had an interesting conversation with Chris @ Best Muffler's in Sydney, suggesting that all I should bother with on the exhaust is the Wildcat extractors and replace the muffler right at the back with a decent Lukey one... Not sure exactly what I'll do with the exhaust yet. Cheers, Tim
  8. LOL You can't tell me you weren't interested when you looked at the link though... I've put my car up in members rides now too. 3 posts now!
  9. 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 Tim
