2005Corolla

Wow! Unbelievable.

Like your wheels.

From the side view, after the mod it actually looks like the current shape of Corolla sedan.

Thanks.. i have had the wheels over 5 years now so i'm kinda ova them.. prob get some new ones next year i reckon :)

will look even better if lower a bit, anyway great work keep it up

I know right... the photo's make it look like it hasn't been lowered at all!! But it has been lowered a little bit.. I don't know if I could go much lower as its already hitting on stuff. :(

wow.. u did this up all by yourself? great job and great effort

well i didn't exactly do it myself... i made friends with a panel beater and spray painter and they did it for me! :D

Well these pictures have been a long time coming but here they are finally!! They show before, during and after the body kit was fitted. The car still needs a few finishing touches. I think the front needs something to break up the black, so i'm open to suggestions on what might look good...

Does anyone have the enkei gw8's??

I am thinking about getting these, coz i have found a really good deal!! But i'm not sure about black on black... i have a black 05 corolla sedan.

Thanks heaps for your reply! Sounds like you had a bit of a mess around..

I will have look when I get the car out into some light.. and see if I can see anything on the end of the pad.. if not think i will just go with the DB1422. Supercheap have a good sale on atm and that's what they have listed for the Corolla, so I would say that is the most common. *fingers crossed*

2005 Corolla - 155000 Km's

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at getting new Bendix brake pads, but need to find out if my Jap model ZZE122R is a sumitomo or aisin front, what is the quickest way to find this out??

Sorry if this has already been covered, I have been searching for awhile but can not find anything that answers this. :(

Car's at bridgestone getting the adrenalin's fitted now

Wellll bridgestone can do the tyres for $215 each and then i get a bunnings voucher of $50, so that just about brings it to the same price as what they were going to be before.

Thanks for all your input! :)

That's the link to pirelli for the discription regarding the "dragon"

http://www.pirelli.com.au/web/catalog/car-...ype=CAR-SUV-VAN

Yeh everyone else wants like 230-250 for the adrenalin's that's why i went for this place, but we waited a bit before ordering and yeh now he can't get them, no one will give them to him for that price so he suggested the pirelli's at $219 but then dropped them down to $198 to match the adrenalin price. I've heard pirelli is good but i was set on the adrenalin's and now im not sure what to pick.

I had organised to get a set of bridgestone adrenalin at $198 each. (215x45xR17) but i have now been told they can't get stock, but he can offer me a pirelli dragon for the same price if i want to go ahead... just wondering if the pirelli is just as good or better?

that's amazing...

1) 1985 Toyota Corolla Hatch (the only one i've seen without a back wiper!)

2) 1992 TR Magna (i think it was this car, that first really got me interested in anything to do with cars)

3) 2005 Corolla Sedan (current)

92 Magna

to be fair.. i don't know how well i understand it.. but i like it..

And you like it enough to join others out there (here) that share the same interest. Well 'understand' may not have been the best descriptor, maybe 'appreciate' would be better suited.

haha yeh appreciate is prob better! luckily my car has no problems for me to understand and thats why i have a toyota

Hiiii I'm Viv..

23, f, and single.. those stats are interesting.. and these are the facts i've learnt so far lol

1) I'm not the only female on here!! yaay

2) and i now know where all the single guys my age, are hiding lol

Vivienne, great to see another female on here! Sometimes i feel so out numbered (probably coz i am)

going by the stats we are waaaaaaaaaaay out numbered!! lol

I just guess there just aren't enough female car enthusiasts out there that understand a Toyota like you girls.

to be fair.. i don't know how well i understand it.. but i like it.. and things associated with cars, and enjoy driving...

It's a shame its not in August/September i have to go to melb for my sister's wedding... and i reallllllllllly don't like flying.. so i am thinking of driving then.. but its a bit of a hike from qld!!

Just wondering if anyone is going to the top gear live show in syd? It's on Feb 5,6,7 & 8.

I really want to go, but I'm not sure i want to spend the $$ to cover the fuel, accom and entry <_<

I was thinking about driving down from qld, is anyone else in qld keen to go and maybe form some sort of trip? - only an idea at this stage.

This thread seems to be getting a bit of activity. I guess I will make my contribution.

My name is Daryl. I'm 21, male, and still single.

Seeking partner. Must not hate fast driving.

http://djkor.com is a reflection of my lack of creativity.

Just had a look at your website.. im very happy to see im not the only person to collect movie tickets.. :D however I don't really do it anymore.. and all the print has come off my old ones.. but they are still in a lil box somewhere!!

lol replacing a windscreen is probably one of the biggest rip in the whole wide world. i got lucky and got 300 on the quote originally 410. i had to replace it, the crack was travelling and it was already a defect. so that was my first modification lol.

yes a new windscreen, can anyone top the stupidest mod ever ?

haha i like that question stupidest mod ever! :D actually maybe i can top you.. also in the first week of having the car.. it was shaking the steering wheel at 100 or so.. took it back toyota and blahdy blah blah.. i think they replaced some wheel weights.. ;) but then i put mags on it.. ohh wait no.. when they put the aircon in the scratched some of the panels with the screw driver and they had to be replaced.. but i guess all of that is genuine stuff not after market like a windscreen.

You should see my bonnet it has stone chips althrough it from when they were doing up a road.. along with my windscreen. Tried to get main roads to pay for it since they left sooooo much gravel on the road it wasn't funny, but NO they wouldn't pay..

this is probably why i dont wash my car that often.. coz everytime i do i look at all the work it needs :(

worst thread EVER.... EVER!!!!

maybe they could settle their differences with a drift race ;)

Yeh that is pretty funny - non turbo yet the car has a huge front mount hanging off it!

I think the dude has loaded the wrong pics to the actual ad, coz if you see the reg plate in the add is AN38JJ - yet the reg plate on the car in the pics is LVN17P and the ad states the car is silver, not burgundy as the pics show.

Might be wortha laugh someone calling up asking to see his "Supra" (or skyline?) "Make me an offer on this beautiful supra with low kms URGENT SALE!!!!!!" << someone do it!!!!

hahaha you should do it Nellie.. i dare ya :P
