ZRE HOT HATCH POTENTIAL + ZRE182..pg117

[dutchie101]

There's some seriously hot Corolla hatches here...

So if I want to mod my stock Ascent, where should I start? Rim? body kit? exhaust? Totally clueless newbie here.

Good to hear another ZRE is about to start its transformation! Welcome :D

It would be a good idea to check out the ZRE FAQ thread first, almost all of what we have worked on is there and it will answer many of your questions.

Its also good to start a Members Rides thread too so we can all see how you progress and help you out along the way.

Generally most parts are from Japan and Europe, and most arnt cheap! but dont let that stop you!

thanks for the suggestions guys! I got my HID's installed today - 6000k low beams, 8000k high beams, LED parkers and LED license plate bulbs :)

added some photos

low beams, lows and highs (quite a blurry pic) and a close up of both lows and highs on.

time to save up some dosh for rims and a lowered suspension :)

EDIT: my bad - resized photos.

Thanks Dutchie, I've just started reading. A lot more complicated than I thought, but at the same time, makes it more exciting. I'll start a thread after I map the upgrade route that I want to take so it'll be awhile before that happens. In the mean time, I'll just lurk here and learn.

Your last sentence implies that parts from Auris will fit in our Corollas?

front is not too bad but the side skirt and rear bar just too much for me. Also with the quad exhaust is just too busy.

Well thats just my POV

[itsmehuey]

lol yeah the exhaust is a bit much.

[juvenile]

lol yeah the exhaust is a bit much.

Nice tips though...

[itsmehuey]

Yep quite certain it's TRD. And yeah, it's so damn hot!
