Introduce myself and my ride

[sinan]

Hey peoples. I've been on this forum for about 2 months and i thought it was about time i formally introduce myself and my ride to the pople on this forum. My name is Sinan and i'm Turkish. For the people that cant say my name, cause i know its a lil hard, i'd prefer to be called Simon. I live in Auburn, Sydney so i cant wait to meet the local sportivos around. Im 18 and graduated from school last year. I am currently studying mechanical enginnering at TAFE. Well my ride is a 2005 Corolla Sportivo. I bought it on March 2007. I'm the second owner and it was sitting on 11800km's when i bought it. Its black in colour.

Since ive been a member on this forum i have done a few rice mods to my car. they may be rice but it turns some heads when im LIFTNNNNN past. lol

Well here is some mods i have done to my car and some other mods that will go onto my car in the comming few weeks.

welcome dude

just wondering how did u do ur headlights ??

[sinan]

welcome dude

just wondering how did u do ur headlights ??

well like every1 i was ****ting my self. i found out how much face lift headlights are. they are $220 each headlight so $440 for 2 headlights. so i really coudn't stuff them up. i read about it on the US 9thgencorolla.com website and i also got a few tips on how to do it from people. i didnt want to risk it but got some motivation from friends and just dived into it. it will take you a whole day and having a big oven is essential. you will also need about 2 other guys that are willing to put it in the hours as mine took about 8 hours to do. would i ever do it agen if something happend to my headlights, no chance wat so ever.

but once its done, really pays off.

Welcome Sinan! Enjoy your stay dude ;)

[PICCOLO]

yeah i got a 05 stivo and im keen as to paint my lights i even got a pre facelift headlight from my panelbeater m8 to try it and it didnt fit in my oven properly but i got it apart anyway and ill tell you holy **** it was hard on yout own so if i do it ill be getting some help 4 sure your car looks sweet as m8

[sinan]

Thank you all for your comments. and by the way my car recieved its 20000km service and got a trd quick shifter installed at the same time. very impressed with it. castle hill service did a good deal although they could have dropped the price of the shifter a lil more. very friendly.
