AE112R Corolla Sedan

[Lawz]

I chose the sedan because it is different and handles better than the liftback in my opinion. I was also influenced by this Hong Kong AE110 Sedan and this Corolla AE111 GT. I only wish Australia got the AE111 GT sedan with 20v Black Top. Such a pity Australia always gets the downgraded stuff

Just bought from the car yard...

Hey man,

I've currently got one of these in a manual and seriously, don't go crazy with exhaust mods. Factory tubular manifold on these is pretty hard to beat as is the cat. I've got 2" coming out of the cat (that was cut and shaped to match the diameter) going through a 15" lukey hotdog and to a lukey rear with a droopy tip so you can't see it from the back of the car. 2" is almost perfect for this motor but if you don't have enough back pressure you'll be suffering from pretty bad valve bounce.

I've just fitted a set of 15" mags with a set of dunlop FM901 tyres and a set of the pedders springs on stock shocks. This set up will still more than likely out handle the driver. Not ragging on your skills but with this set up you can get very controlled lift off oversteer at over 140kph. As for the aesthetic side of things, thats just a personal choice, what ever you like. I bought this car as it looks very understated and clean.

Spent a bit of money on a set of decent front and rear speakers, quality deck and a 10" sub. Not loud, just nice. Next week come the brembo slotted discs with matching pads, stock calipers perform very well did help alot setting up a small piece of ducting to help cool them though.

[Lawz]

haha haven't updated my thread in a long time. Um yeah I've got King Low Springs & KYB Excel G Twin Tube shocks in now but thinking about swapping for King Super Lows for 60mm drop. Have AE101 Levin front strut bar and AE112R 2 piece Levin front lower spoiler installed. have redone the intake with fresh piping from front bar to airbox with K&N panel filter. Exhaust I plan to go for Powerflo muffler and single tip, 2" pipe to Powerflo high flow cat. That'd be about it for engine mods until the 7A dies in I will go for 1ZZFE, Eaton supercharger and manual setup.

Audio I have Alpine 9885 headunit with custom backing/surrounds, Alpine 500w (662w) mono block, Alpine 12" Type R sub, Kicker wiring kit and soon to come Alpine 5 1/4" or 6.5" spilts... depends which one fits...

DanA would you shed some light on sizing of the speakers in front and rear... my fronts are crackling at the moment so I'll be needing new ones soon... so whats the size... I doubt 6.5 speaker would fit.

[Lawz]

update...

Exhaust fitted... 2" exhaust system, with high flow cat, resonator, straight through muffler and twin stainless dump tips

custom boot install... done by TBass Audio... Now have full Alpine Type R v12 sound system (9885 headunit, 6.5" splits, 4 channel amp and monoblock, big FullRiver battery, custom battery clamps/terminals... 90 % complete at the moment. Still need to dynamat doors and boot.

[Lawz]

Update:

- AE101 Levin front strut bar

- Removed TBass Audio boot install (will be for sale soon > 12" Alpine R sub and V12 monoblock)

[ELEGNT]

Yes weight reduction definitely. But main reason is because I destroyed the 2 17s and needed replacements quick. 17s were too heavy so I wanted to cut that slack and get some power back at the treads. Also I like styling on Honda Civics so I wanted to sort of apply that JDMness LOL. I managed to find Rays Engineerings mags and I snapped them up the day they went on sale LOL. I also have a mortgage now so I'm tight on bling so I decided that things have to be sacrificed. So I chose to let the audio go as I don't listen to my music as loud anymore and I don't have the time nor can be bothered attending sound offs. But there are a few things in the works :) Only time and finances will tell...

Sounds to me like he is going to be selling her off :o

Evo

I would love to sell her for a Corolla Sportivo or Camry Touring or Aurion. But at the moment it's not feasible unless someone can offer me a good swap deal :)

Thanks mate. Yeah it's not too bad. I only wish they were 15 x 6.5 or 15x7 :D Just need to find some Rays wheel nuts :D hehe

And no I wouldn't sell them with the car no way. LOL I'm going to find out how much they were RRP.

15"s would be nice as iam not a fan of oversized rims, also i'd like to see your front 10mm lower, mudflaps gone and turbo sportivo

front spoiler,hmmm i can picture it now ;)

yeah I regret I wasted all this cash on big wheels and audio boot install. Could have had turbo or manual conversion done by now LOL. I would love to close the gap in the front but I've got issues in the front with some speed bumps and driveways as is LOL. I had found some used King Superlows for it months ago but yeah changed my mind LOL. Maybe ISC coilovers :D... Sportivo lip has been on my mind since I've had the car. Have located an ebay crew that does it but I'm skeptical about the quality fitment.

[dwee.]

Hey mate,

Nice ride, esp. those RAYS! Just wondering, is there a guide for removing AE112 Headunit? (I didn't find one using 'Search')

Cheers,

Peter.
