blue_rolla's 2003 Corolla 1ZZ-FE hatch

[blue_rolla]

Well, I've decided to go for a completely new layout for my ride's page.. rather than have everything clumped together, ill have a different section for each modification i've performed... and a HUGE section for my carputer, coz i love it. and its better than your carputer:

THE BASICS:

My ride is a 2003 cascade blue toyota corolla. Here's the info, nicely laid out for your convenience :) :

Engine: 1zz-fe

Owned Since: March 2005

Odometer: 40,000ish kms

Modifications:[/color]

King Low Springs

Cost: $150 - Second Hand from Wei Wei

Install: $0 - DIY.. PM me for details.

Note: These springs lowered my car by 35mm, and have stiffened up the ride hugely.

White 17" Nippon Racing Wheels

Cost: $1350 (with sumitomo 205/40/17 tyres)

Note: White wheels on a blue car has always brought a smile to my face. So i got some for myself. They were originally gunmetal wheels, and they sprayed them white for me. Turns out they did a terrible job and the paint started to flake off. I bought a glacier white touchup paint thing and after pulling every wheel off and touching up the flaked paint, they look new again :)

Sports Grille

Cost: Can't remember. But it came painted from kcorro :)

Note: This was my first mod, and im immensly proud of it.

20% Window Tinting

Cost: $180

Note: I didnt pay cash for this. I traded my white sportivo front bar to OH84BY for their friend to do my tinting for me. It looks freaking awesome and its a VERY good quality job. If you want tinting for cheap. PM OH84BY.. you'll get a free lunch if you go to mish's house to get it done + a professional tint :)

Custom 4-1 Extractors

-Sportivo Catback Exhaust System

-Hi-Flow Catalytic Converter

-Shift Performance CAI w/ Hurricane Filter

-Carputer (click carputer to go to my carputer thread)

[MarkMish]

[selyaT]

I'm pretty sure i had a patent pending on the Taylor Exhaust Dent...

Please remove that photograph

Hahahahaha :P

[MT]

Tom's newest mod, just to match the dint in the exhaust

[blue_rolla]

yeah its purely aesthetic - not performance, like the exhaust dint...

if you look closely you'll see the bent bumper is actually increasing drag, so my fuel economy is terrible now...

[CORZZA]

not fixed yet tomo??

[selyaT]

This car is gonna turn heads like Lindsey Lohan doing a backwards crabwalk through a church in the nude...

Group buy sideskirts FTW!

[blue_rolla]

seconded.

and i guess i may as well slap up an update:

- coilovers to be installed

- full kit is slowly being put together...

aaannndddd.... i got a lukey muffler out the back now as my dented sportivo muffler got more dented, so they lukey'ed me up for free :)

[selyaT]

If it growls it's a Lukey!

Or it's Tom

Or both
