El Donkey

i have a wagon too and drove from sydney to jindabyne snowy mountain on a full tank of 95 ron it was just over 500km, then back to cooma another 100 km with just on the empty mark, i think used more fuel going down than i did going back home, i can remember only getting 40 into the tank though, and also using a higher ron fuel to go abit more in distance, but there are different varibles with getting economy, weight of car , driving style, fuel , good music lol

your going to have to roll your guards more so the rear, and use more negative camber front and back to tuck them in, i ran 15x8 +25 on my 112 and had to roll the rear guards the, the front i never got around to it, but i ran stock struts on superlow springs, ask a member called monkeybovin he has run the 16x8 wheels

there toyota factory wheels http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i549/54932_00mg.jpg but no way are they 8 inch wide, if so those tyres would be stretched over the rim, there more like a 6 inch

im thinking about some engine work like cams and extractors to complete the exhaust next, and finding some new rims for the track

thanks mate appreciate the comments

HI guys here's an update of Cherryripe, i went a little californ-i-a style with her for the summer hope you like

Hey mate id suggest you just paint over it, trust me it looks a lot cleaner than removing it and better than the ones without a garnish.

Either paint the same colour as your car or gloss black. If you remove it the key lock will stick out further than the model without the garnish .

nice one man looks good, mines dropped more now so im happy

thanks mate ill post up as the mods roll in

thanks man, its a tough job, but worth it. the high beams are just a film

thanks mate all good, ive done the job the other day, and let me say i was sore all over. The rear shocks were the killer unbolting the top bolts needed some serious leverage then the top bolt of the strut was hopeless. It just spun and never loosend. I had to use a 6mm allen attachment on top then a 17mm spanner squeezing together to loosen it.

I broke my first allen key inside of the strut plus a socket attachment trying to break it loose. So a quick trip to Bunnings for some new tools and i had to sit on a wheel which was on top of the strut to keep it still while i stood on the allen key and then broke the nut with the other foot with the spanner.

Talk about a hassle, and then repositioning the spring and rubber top properly did my head in aswell. I always say never again but when i finished to be honest, i used super low and it was far from low at all. I thought i just spent a whole day doing this and it looks crap.

But it has settled abit now and im happy, any lower and i wont be able to get out of the driveway without scrapping and leaving half the car behind lol.

HI guys ill be lowering my wagon in the next couple of days but can seem to see where the rear struts are located in the back, any wagon lover could you share some input. Do i need to pull the who interior out or is there a flap or cover i cant see.

Any help will be great

nice one im going down a 195 50 r15 route on king super lower, hopefully by xmas

This is my corolla, finally with my Advans on

whats size wheels are they and tyres, also are you on coilovers or lowered springs,nice car btw

i say do it, it doesn't look that much different, both have flat tops and only the curve if any might be different. I say do it

Hey mare welcome, nice looking car, engine mods sound the biz, glad someone modded one, it should be making close to 100kw at the flywheel with those figures, if your searching for wheels just type into google 15x8 +25 and you'll get some good ideas of wheels, keep the photos coming and dont be afraid to ask questions, thats what where here for

looking good man great colour

Updates after a long month later. I've had the coils installed with camber bolts on the rear.

Still have to finish off the custom grille, repaint job with plastidip, bodykit installation. Rear disc brake conversion kit.

looks so good man very jelous

id try a razor blade with some soapy water, then wax and grease remover wash then polish and it should be all sweet, i was looking at doing mine aswell so if i do it soon ill let you know how i go

Well done mate, it looks slick, how does it handle now that the coilovers are in

Nice car mate, as or your stalling problem, check your vacum hoses that run off your throttle body, check that you have no cracks or holes in them

Thanks man , post up your ride when your free, there's a few on here to show

any updates man, have you got your coilovers in yet

passion thats all you need, i think a v8 camry or Aurion would be great in the series , but what the bet Toyota wont sponsor a team for bull**** reasons, you'd have to do it on your own bat, like the Erubus team did, mercedes didn't want a bar of it
