very nice:) in my opinion way better than that vectra. I was looking at this one as first car aswell, after seeing that orange modified one from (i think) Rollaboy on this forum.

Congrats on the new ride Branno - I'm sure the modding bug will bite though, it always does

[DJKOR]

Good stuff Michael. Good to see you back driving a Toyota. Looks to be in great condition as well.

[Guest]

Nice, will be good to see this at one of the meets :)

[Branno]

Thanks guys, not sure if I will mod it. Maybe just small thinngs such as lowering and a good sound system.

[Noodle Boy]

It wouldn't hurt to mod it a bit is it? It would look great. Where did that line 'killer wasps' come from again?(Toyota commercial wasn't it?)

[STYLSH]

Nice, looks clean.

And the killer wasps thing came from the 2gr engine ads. 200 killer wasps.

That's the first thing I said.

You might as well start you shopping list now!

[Branno]

Well, you see im strapped for cash because I'm studying full time and cant see the time for work. At the end of this year, that shall all change. I look at RollaBoy's version of the AE112R and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW.

[Lawz]

clean 112. Plenty of things you can still do on a tight budget buddy.

Lol. I thought my civic had heaps of cheap after market bolt on bits but this particular chassis was used in 3 different lines of the corolla that i know of so the possibilities seem endless. I just got an AE101R hatch which shares alot of the same bits or at least interchangeable bits as urs. If I find any good sources for cheap bits I'll pass the info on. 11TWO finds an endless supply of cheap bolt on bits. If u haven't already hit him up. I did and he sent me a shopping list lol.

Alright, first mod will be the front grill, I may need some assistance as this will be a D.I.Y job, unless anyone can find me the part number for the sportivo model?

[Branno]

Alright, so thisafternoon I created a workshop thread mainly to show how to replace the bulb in my driving light.

I had already discovered something that I wanted to fix up. When I have my driving lights on, they are uneven, one is projecting higher than the other.

After looking at both casings, I discovered that the right hand driving light had been smashed up, I then continued to look for damage, Only then did I notice that the number place was bent, and the front grill holder was also bent slightly, this leads to me thinking that this car was in an accident before I bought it. Anyway, I removed the casing to see if there was an adjustment knob for the light, I think there is but I just need your confirmation. Cheers.

Just searching on ebay for some replacement bulbs, I want a whiter/bluer light.

Found these but dont know if it will be quality?

You'll lose a lot of distance with those ones, they're quite heavily tinted blue.

Give the Phillips X-treme visions a shot, whiter, but still good distance wise. They're not cheap, but get them off e-bay.

X-treme

[Branno]

Cheers Impulse,

Not sure that they will fit, but I'll keep up my research.

Now with moar domo kun

Alright, time for an update.

I have now done a L.E.D interior light conversion. Bought them off eBay for $10 for two sets.

The other day I purchased a short shifter off eBay for $40 from the states.

And last night I Swiss cheesed the Intake resonator. That was a hell of an effort. The front bar was impossible to remove so I just jacked it up, took the wheel off and removed the splash guard. Overall, not much increase in intake volume, however, once under load, it's a lot deeper.

Next up will be a K&N replacement panel filter.

What made the front bumper impossible to remove?

[Branno]

I removed all of the screws and bolts that I could see. Still resisted on coming off. I think I had to remove my lights aswell.

[Lawz]

Did you remove your numberplate to remove the 2 screws behind that ?

Nope, had no idea
