Hi guys just thought I'd share some pics of my car.. I've seen heaps of these on the roads and not many people have played around with them yet so just wanted to see what other members have done :)

Mine is a 2014 levin Zr in the crystal pearl colour.. I've only done very basic mods to it such as tinted tail lights, Bmc panel filter, painted calipers, exhaust tips, carbon fibre mirror covers, painted badges black and changed the oem levin wheels to these pitlane II wheels. I've got king springs on the way so looking forward to that because the car is sitting like a land cruiser at the moment. It's just a shame that Toyota didn't release a performance engine in the range especially in the levin model to compete with all the other hot hatches out there.. A nice turbo or supercharger would've made things more exciting.

Welcome nice corolla you got there !

Thank you! I'm new to the whole jap car scene.. I'm more of a euro car guy but bought this car Igor the mean time and to be honest I'm quite impressed with it.. Apart from power it really does have all the goodies that you could ask for :)

The struggle is real :(

Haha but thanks anyway and yeah man gotta love that pearl :) I had the euro plates on my previous car ( w209 Mercedes clk) so I didn't want to just throw them to the side as they are my own personal ones so I just had them re made into the slimline version. Believe me it's going against everything I say too because I used to frown at non European cars with euro plates.. But ahh well I guess the auris in all the other euro countries wear them so I just decided to leave them.. As for the stripe haha yes your right.. Amg inspired.. It was supposed to be a very fine strip but when the guy finished doing it I had realised that I didn't tell him how fine I wanted it.

I did have in mind to either wrap or plastidip it in a gloss black like the Corolla RZ version.. Looks much cleaner imo.

Thankyou :) and yes haha waiting on springs to come this week.. Ended up getting king springs .. A nice 30 mm drop..

Wouldn't mind changing the wheels up to 18" and more flush with the guards

Oh yeah the Auris... That makes sense sorta.

Youve seen the TRD kit i assume http://hmongbot.com/Z19lSDhuTjdvWHNB

I sure have! :) I'd love to get the trd front lip in the gloss black.. Not too keen on the front grille though.. Unless you paint it black or wrap in carbon then maybe.. I was emailing garage 88 in NSW so looks like I'll be making a few purchases with them in the near future :) as for now I just wanna get these dam springs fitted then decide if I want new wheels or not as I do prefer wheels being flush with the guards and these pitlane ones don't quite do it for me.. If they had been in 18" and a bit wider them they would've been perfect.

Hey guys just thought I'd share a few pics of recently just installing king springs and fitting new wheels. They are made by ROH Australia and are 18x8 in size with a +45 offset. As for tyres they are 225/40/18 Pirelli P1 tyres which I think for their price is really good.

With the new springs the car feels so much better on the road with less swaying and being only slightly firmer without compromising on ride quality.

As for the photos I don't know why they are showing up sideways as they are in the right orientation When I upload them :/

Great wheel choice cant go wrong with roh ,

as for the photos upload you should be able to rotate them from your computer before you upload them or from the site your using .

Yeah I know and they are in the correct post before I upload them as well :| so who knows.. But yeah ROH are great and a reputable brand and soon as I saw this design I was all over them! :)

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
