hey guys.

new to the forum.

after a few months of persuasion, my gf finally gave in and as decided to let me do things here and there for her car.

i drive a honda, :whistling: so i'm very new to the toyota scene. just a few questions for your guys.

first of all its a 2008 corolla seca.

is the model number ZRE? of so what and the corresponding numbers?

i've just put tints on today, 20% fronts 15% rears.

im in the process if looking for tyres to fit on my honda rims, so they can go on her car. after 215/45/17. if you have any, let me know. prefer a set of four.

i also just ordered some hids. 6000k H11's they'll be going on soon.

now, since its my gf's car. it can't be lowered to the floor.

can anyone recommend any springs? i have eibachs on my accord, and they have a good height drop.

one last question. is there anything i can do to get rid of the ugly antenna?

one last thing. SHOW ME YOUR MODS + IDEAS.

your response and help is greatly appreciated.

we'll she's given me the all clear to lower it "as long as its the legal limit"

that makes it 100mm from the ground, which shouldn't be too bad.

couple of questions.

shes driving, so comfort is a must. any springs out there that was lower the car comfortably, with a decent drop and not going to kill the shocks?

its going to have my 17" honda rims on it, just wanting something to clear the gap a little bit

i have eibachs on my accord, giving me 1" drop in the front and 1.2" drop in the rear. it still retains the comfortable ride.

anyone running eibachs on their zre's?

any coilovers out there too?

thanks in advance

phat_azn is running eibachs but his is the sedan model.

Yep im running them.Correct me if im wrong but they should fit the hatch aswell.

Drop is just over an inch and comfort is really good unless you go bigger rims which i did (18's) so bye bye ride comfort.

Im running on stock shocks and they are still going strong.SB is looking for replacement shocks for me as i want some comfort back.

Ur WRONG THERE wen u said theres no ride comfort with 18's... ive got 18's and theres nothing wrong with the ride comfort at all, maybe if u got better tyres it'll be smoother...

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
