My new Rolla

[Rosegum]

Well i've finally picked up a car worth showing here, i've been running around in an '83 AE80 5 door hatch which is headed off the road to be re-fitted with a 7a-fe i picked up, but that's for another time and place. I've purchased a '00 AE112R 5 door hatch with a 7a-fe 5 spd manual.

It's racked up 193,000 clicks but i paid $7,500 cash. Factory mags were passed straight on to the old rolla and i haved fitted a set of 17"s and a set of sports ryder lowered springs, it's still sitting higher in the front which is bugging me. i might have to put even shorter springs in the front to counter it, anyone else had this issue?

It has extractors (not sure how to identify brand) which feeds into a 2.25" cat back "sports" exhaust (seller wasn't much use when it came to info on additions to the car.

I dumped whatever gluggy oil they'd been running in it and re-filled with Shell helix 10w-40 full synthetic, engine revs much free'er and dipstick is golden.

also added a k&n air filter(standard airbox type) which seemed to have no effect (noise wise) from the front end but the exhaust now has a lovely rasp above 50% throttle.

my interest turned love affair was born at the hands of danthuyer's snow flake

the first person to show me "Lift"

better not make this too long

Glen - nice ride buddy :)

White rims on white cars can look good or bad.. but in your case its all good :)

Glad to hear your taking care of her, by giving her a lube and oil change straight off the bat.

As far as the springs are concerned give them some time to settle... you will find it will come down a little.. not much.. but maybe ebough to keep you happy... dont want to go too low ;)

Great looking car......paint looks in good spare too well done (Y)

Yes, I too know the dangers of Craig showing you his "Lift"

He did it to me aswell... and then I bought his car.

Welcome, and yes I love the white rims on your car too.

Thanks heaps for the replies, so people know this is the first forum ive ever posted in.

What i really want to do is keep the body shape stock'ish but extend the height of the original skirts, or get a skirt kit.

Are there any kits anyone would recommend to give it a more stivo look??

Have added some audio equipment as well which includes:

1 Cadence FXA-604 60WRMS x 4 channel

which feeds

2 x stock front door speakers(yet to change)

2 x Kenwood 6"x9" 3-way 250WRMS*

(high pass at 350hz up)

*(pffffffft!!!!!! lies)

1 Cadence FXA-102 100WRMS x 2 channel

4 ohm bridged mono 300WRMS x 1 channel

(bridged in 4 ohm mono w/ low pass at 250hz)

feeding

Kenwood 12" in box (not sure what series sub will repost)

rated at 200WRMS

1000W Max **

(** pfft again with the coil on fire perhaps!)

apart from the fronts its a crisp tidy sounding system.

and one more thing, can anyone recommend a good wreckers for ninetys to noughties toyota's?

would be great to hear back for ideas on kits to suit and if anyone knows if i can get eyelids to suit.

thanx heapz again
