i saw that kit before.too extreme for me personally.it looks good for ppl who likes extreme style.but not for me.

i'll be getting this

http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...&p_id=11003

but i wont be getting this kit from carmate.ppl said they are not reliable.

got it frm a guy in adelaide.still in process...^_^ tell me what you guys think, some of u might not like it.

thats not really a kit its just a front add on lip and diff skirts....

and once you get that on your car is going to be dyam pretty low if you've already lowered it....if planning to lower it once on i reckon just go with king lows as if you get super low..your not going to get anywhere...lol

hahah yeah...thats what i thought.i replaced my springs to low king spring. hmmm but im pretty sure the front bar is the whole bar.not an add on lip.thats what the dude told me and yeah im getting the side skirts and rear corner lip.hehe...see how it goes...hopefully all will b fine.

Do u you a Pre face or facelift corolla?

never the less check out the c-one front bar.

i'm still waiting for 2 more weeks and i can pay for it :D

Only problem with this bar is its very expensive (approx. 1200AUS without paint), and you usually have to wait a minimum of 2months before u can get it (since they are usually made on the spot and shipped from Japan)

Reason to it being so expensive cos its not fibreglass (it better not be otherwise im throwing it back to Japan)

the whole c-one kit is fibreglass :(

ew are you serious? i might not buy it no more <_<

does anyone have the c-one facelift front bar? if it doesnt fit 100% then i dont want it lol i mean $1300 for a fibreglass frontbar? i dont care if it is JDM i aint gna spend that much (unless it fits 100% no GAPS no HASSLEhoff)

i mean i'd rather go to carmate and pay $300 - put up with their crap service, and mod the kit my self to make it fit.

as for the first kit i saw it the other day driving to work (was a black corolla) and even in real life it's ugly. from the side it looks like a right handed triangle :P

from memory that car with the "veilside" style is the j'racing corolla from ACT. As for the carmate c-one copy yes it's cheap!! BUT..... It's cheap for a reason; be prepared for it not to be a perfect fit!! :whistling:

C-ONE and Bomex kits are nice but way way way too expensive for me as well...i agree with sum of u....even the front lip costs like $1000+ unpainted...brr..oh well...im getting my kit soon and its cheap but well thats the only thing i could get so if its not fit, then it'll be the seller problem to work it out till it fits....hahah thats why i paid him for..

look, it's machined fibreglass so it's going to be as good as it gets. C-one isn't your back yard kit maker, they specifically made it to fit the car. It will fit 100%. You can't compare it to crappy 'car-mate' stuff. It ain't going to fit properly for sure. I was seriously thinking about going that way too. $3k delivered front lip, side-skirts, rear lip and spoiler. Lucky i snapped out of that wierd state of mind i was in.

My eyes hurt :blink:

Please don't deface the Corolla like that. You'll be laughed at behind your back. Seriously.

Yeah, that went through my mind too. I laugh at all these lancer's with the droid body kits, and wacked out looking spoilers. When I think about it, am I slowly becoming one of them?

You need an intercooler for that front bar :D. Just pull your radiator down? Or rip one out of an older car and stick it in there? lol no one will be the wiser. It wont look nice with that all meshed off, well i think anyway.

looks like a tryhard lancer bumper slapped on the car

it's actually a remoulded Celica Veilside style front... and it looks like **** IMHO...

1st time I saw it years ago I thought it stood out, but now having seen it in a few colours on a number of cars, I don't like it at all.

Adrian from J-Racing in Canberra designed this bar from scratch to my knowledge. It was completed to the requirements of the owner. From this J-Racing still have the mold and make this front bar for the rolla still.

I wouldn't get it though no lol.

Im a fan of those euro bodykits above, and the C-One kits.

Oh please avoid the "Veilside" copies like the plague... considering they were designed for, what Veilesides high speed salt flat racing Supra's, a large rwd turbo beast they look totally out of place on ANYTHING ELSE. I mean Ive seen them on Swift Gtis, Mazda 626 (the Forsd Telstar shape), and many other atrocities.

go with the euro or C-one similar style. a more compact urban racer style totally fits the Corolla and wont have a w@nk factor of 10+ <_<

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
