This is an AE112 sedan, 2000 model ;)

Costs vary depending on what it is that you want...

You can to the cold air yourself, just run some flexi tube from the bumper to the airbox...

Yes I agree.

In fact...you give me an idea.

gday. I'm doing up a AE112R sedan too :D check out my ride... http://s52.photobucket.com/albums/g6/cheung07/AE112R/

however it's gotten more updates since those pics...

pretty much what Rolla Boy has said...

I definitely recommend a nice suspension setup is best for the sedan... absolutely awesome around bends compared to the liftback.

Definitely get either a Genuine Levin front spoiler (2 peice + 6 clip-bolts) or Sportivo front spoiler painted.

What I started with was intake... K&N panel filter and rerouting new piping from airbox to front bar. Then moved onto 17" wheels and lowering 35mm with King springs & KYB shocks. There's lots of things you can do... I found my ideas from cardomain.com as well.

where abouts are you located? I know there's 2 white AE112 sedans rolling around Brisbane that are dumped.

Plus you get an IRS rear end from memory?

B@stards >.>

[Rolla Boy]

Hahaha, we get the real deal :P :P :P ...

From memory that starts a chain reaction which gets you the girls as well, har har har.

The 2000 models have the facelift fronts yes?

[T.J]

pffft! yeah we get the solid beam rear ends wtf is with that? thats what let the model down in the reviews the fact they cheaped out on the suspension.

definate dumpage must happen with your sedan and a set of 18s will give you all the cred you need

[2000rolla]

coolangatta, was in ormeau but yeah. nah mine is stocko ay, cheers for the ideas any more ?

[2000rolla]

also with your pics was it a mission painting them side bumper panel black things and the door handles ?

[Rolla Boy]

Hahaha, we get the real deal :P :P :P ...

Yeah mate, facelift came on the 2000 models... My car is now a facelift as I hated the bug eyes... lol...

How you all doing... I too have a 2000 ae112, mines the ascent liftback though... with the fat rear end :P

Quick question, with the panel K&n filter... would people reccomend this over a pod filter?... advantages, disadvantages?

The K&N Panel Filter with standard airbox got me 3 extra kW haha...

Don't really notice any difference driving but it's gotta be better for the engine, colder air, sensors working properly and everything as it should be...

Sedans never came with the bug-eyes though, fortunately (they do suit the Seca sometimes though, depends on the car)

You won't feel the gains with either panel or pod filter.

Pod for noise...

Panel for better flowing replacement than the generic fibre filters...

So let me put it this way... if you want a cheap alternative... then just get a panel filter and re route piping from airbox forward... because the standard piping inlet faces to the right behind the left hand headlight. There isn't much cold air going there. So you should remove resonator in front bar and route piping through there.

You'll spend less money doing that than paying to get mild/stainless steel piping from throttle body to pod filter etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone... :)
