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

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.

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.
