Thanks guys.

I spent a few hours figuring out how to replace the city lights. Hope this will benefit some.

These are 194 peanut bulbs.

This is the cross reference:

T10, W5W (this was what was written on the stock bulb), 158, 168, 147 152 158 159 161 168 184 192 193 901 904 912 916 917 918 920 921 922 923 926 927 and more

The stock bulb reads: KOTO 12V5W W5W 43A

Here is a picture of the bulb.

So here is the mission. Replace this bulb:

Step 1:

Locate. Its about diagonally 5cm below the low beam bulb. Yank on the wire and you will see the bulb moving in the headlight housing.

Step 2:

Twist clockwise. DO NOT pull. Twist.

It will come loose.

This is what the pins look like:

Step 3: Replace the bulb and put it back in reverse. Twise counter-clock wise.

Done (:

Thanks guys.

Hello all,

How do I replace these lights?

What wattage are they? What shape and connector? I would like to get white ones.

Welcome! I've got a ZZE122R too and its a beauty!

I got inspired by some bloke on 9thgencorolla.com so I decided to make a DIY!

Here's the finished product:

Equipment:

* Fabric - 50cm x 40cm (you can play around with the sizes depending on how thick you want the strip to be).

* Scissors

Step 1:

Cut out the fabric in 5 equal strips, each about 40cm long (the width is up to you)

You will notice that the strip could be frayed, so here's how to deal with it without sewing up the seams. (Or you could sew it up if you like).

Step 2:

At both ends, fold a strip two-thirds along the width like this.

Step 3:

At both ends, fold the other side to overlap. You will need to keep the strip in tension.

Step 4:

Whilst keeping the tension in the strip, drape it over the headrest.

Step 5:

Cross over the bottom ends and make a knot (ribbon or dead knot - up to you).

Here, I am making a dead-knot.

Step 6:

Trim the loose ends and frayed bits down.

Time taken: 20 minutes

Thanks all!

I couldn't find a way to modify the brake fluid reservoir as the inlets dictate its orientation.

Breaking the welds and re-welding would compromise the integrity of the strut bar so I ended up getting a new one from Japan.

Will post pictures when it arrives this week!

Welcome mr timberlake!

Hi All

Long time browser, first time poster.

Live in Marlborough, NZ and have purchased a ZZE123 2002 Allex RS180 6sp for my wife.

Daily driver, but will do basics like CAI, Headers and cams as time progresses. Will also be sent down the strip and the occasional club day too.

Keep up the informative posts!

Sweeet. Another kiwi like me. We should hook up!

Perhaps during the right light you could possibly turn it to the right. Dropping the round vertical piece a little bit.

Will try that!

Sweet. Lemme give you a warm hug.

Any ideas as to how I may do that?

OK, so I went through all this trouble getting my mate to bring one over from the US all the way to New Zealand and this shat happens.....

Brake fluid is in the way! I then realize I have a Japanese Domestic Model. Any mods I can do? I don't want to give up without a fight!

The part number is MR-SB-TCO01.

This is how a strut bar WOULD fit my car:

This is the auction I got it off: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...;category=33591

Would this fit any of your cars? Anyone want it?

Hi all!

Wanted to share with you this excellent product - the green filter! I've found it especially hard to source for mods here (NZ). This one is cheap and it works great.

And no I'm not a member of their sales team. Just a happy customer!

Kiwis, Get it from http://www.greenfilter.co.nz

Thats a sweet car mate!

thx guys, the door trims are DIY. got $13 worth of satin from spotlight with some leftover. might do the pillars next. i'm going to get a megan racing front tower brace to go under the hood, followed by a Green Panel filter which is on its way to NZ! (:

I usuall get 420-450km out of my 1ZZ-FE for city driving.

400km is a bit on the low side, but not by very much.

If you make lots of short trips, that will consume more petrol. Starting and stopping frequently generally consumes more petrol.

Well it really depends on what RPM range you're looking at driving in.

Low - SRI

High - CAI

Also, do you live in a wet area? If you do, stick to the SRI.

Let's meet up if you're in Auckland. (:

Hello all!

I'm an active member of 9thgencorolla.com and it is a great place but not many can empathise with the difficulty in getting after-market parts in New Zealand.

I've searched high and low for Toyota car clubs in NZ, but there's only a KP one. I'm looking for a community where I can belong and contribute my knowledge and passion to, hopefully one on this side of the planet. So here I am.

I look forward to meeting you all and posting here.

As Longdan (the other new Kiwi member) said, hit me with the fush and chups jokes.

My interests are rock-climbing and kungfu.
