Was browsing through facebook pages when i stumbled upon this little gem. It isn't finished yet as per the article states but for what he's done do far, i love it. Im not the biggest fan of ridiculous camber, but hey im not paying for the rubber so i don't really care haha.

ive had no problems with police so far and its been nearly 10 months since dropping my car. its just on 110mm at its lowest which is the exhaust, i need to get it tucked because of the ridiculous exhaust shop i went to left it hanging considerably!
as you can see

i made this mistake as well. ended up throwing a full set of ebc pads out i got and paid for another set the mechanic had in shop :|

i found a set of koni springs for cheap he said they are for a 04 05 so I'm assuming facelift? Wondering if they will fit a 03 pre facelift. Also are koni springs good? They are super lows?
thanks.
i went with what i knew. 250 is the standard price but you know your buying new items
there super easy to install and personally i think super L's would be too low.

Don't OBX just make replicas of real performance items? Hence why they are cheap?
dunno handome, but its good to see someone at least has experimented with them. More to the point mitch does your camry have led's around the front grille? I see it all the time out near toogoom and it blinds me at night haha :c

SO, casually browsing the interwebs, reddit becomes boring so naturally i search for corolla parts. I find these and after doing some scanning through the forums here, seems there is no definitive answer for this. Are there any gains to be had through this 4-1 setup?

Im well aware of the proper PPE (etc) headers on offer for the 2ZZ, im just curious if anyone knows any reason why the headers are the price they are. Seems the question was never really answered on the forums here.
And for the record i had a custom set fabricated locally here in Hervey Bay (south east qld), this post isnt me window shopping :D

cheers luke, its resonates a bit tho, i need to get the cat moved further towards the headers :c also the piping itself needs to be tucked up. you wouldnt believe the job i got given by some local boys :|

Its been over 18 months now owning this car but the last 6 months have been hectic.
the rims alone were the biggest screw around. I replaced the gear selector cable which was seemingly more easy to get ahold of. If anyone is second guessing purchasing ruff racing rims? don't.
Cheers, Dixon

me and my room mates thought of carbon wrap, but i like the idea of either a blue or white. plus i have no clue where i could get carbon wrap here in hervey bay, just north of brisbane.

hey guys,
my clear coat on my front grille as well as my rear wing is shot, in the last 6 months its progressively worsened. i've been quoted by a local spray shop to get the pair done together but im having problems making my mind up. It will be a metallic coat to keep with the rest of the car, but i want to make my car a little special.
thoughts are welcome! new colour suggestions, any photoshop pro's are welcome to have a play. these are the blue's i got from bunnings, nowhere else had colour samples to take home.

anyone on here bid on this?

Selling my stock sportivo rims as i just upgraded to aftermarkets :)
Two of the wheels have some rash, the remaining two have minimal rash. The owner before me gave two of them a bashing by the looks of it (i'm ocd with gutter rash haha)
The rubber on the rims have ALOT of tread remaining. I paid extra for the falkens and ended up buying new wheels altogether a few months later. seems a waste of money on my behalf considering how much rubber is remaining on them, but oh well, that's cars i guess
.The tires handle really well in the wet and for anyone looking for a reference they're Falken 195/55r16 87v
From memory i paid about 160 each for them.
Message me an offer, i live north of brisbane in Hervey Bay. about 3 hours drive :) willing to drive too gympie for any brisbane buyers

"low" springs
I believe their normal price is $235 anyway. That listing is a bit high even with the 6% sale. Usually its like this
"super low" springs
you have a very firm grasp of the obvious

i love the new look, it reminds me of the new skoda that has been released recently. if it drives anything like the skoda the new rolla will be amazing :D

my mate who owns a 300zx paid $500 for his set of springs alone, and a further $1000 for struts. so i didnt have a problem with paying <300 for these

As the title states im on the search for some new (old) springs from a member on here :)
Im not using my car for a number of months so im just going to make it look 'pretty' in a sense ha. I live few hours north of Birsbane in Hervey Bay so im fine with paying for postage orrrr if any lovely brisbane owners would be willing to meet me at gympie for a trade I would be happy with that as well.
Thanks, Dixon

hey everyone, im on the search for new headlights for my zze however there are alot of tinted and darkened headlights/taillights on the market. ive seen them around town but im not entirely sure about the legalities of them :s
granted i dont be a d*** and put suitable HID's in them, would there be any problems? but more importantly would these '03-08 corolla headlights' even fit my 03 stivo? :o
thanks!

hey all :)
ok so ive blown a rim out driving on the bruce highway recently. massive blowout in the rim that extends two thirds around and even through the fold. anyways i need to buy another and it seems bob jane is screwing me around.
im after a ruff racing 17x7.5 r951 3inch machined lip.
ive found one or two online sources for it but if anyone knows a reliable source, or even has one of them it would be muchly appreciated. i only need the one rim which makes it even more frustrating. and yes the rim is from the us, im expecting 130$ freight minimum :|
thanks, dixon

Just upgraded to a two and a half inch system and im loving it.
i got the old system back off the local exhaust shop and they had to chop it to remove it. the bolt on itself is fine as pictures suggest.
this is the parts i got off them
the bolt on itself is working perfectly. the tip has a bit of gunk and tar on it but a clean should have it shining easily.
the old resonator will be inclded along with the only 2 & 1/4 inch piping between the two. only problem is the piping was more or less butchered during the removal process.
inbox me if interested, im situated in hervey bay, about 3 hours north of brissy on the coast
and for anyone whose curious what my upgrade looks like ^_^

So,
LIGHTS SOLD
purchased these headlights a while ago but ended up moving to Sunshine Coast and nowhere to do any DIY :cas far as the springs go, roughly 140'000km's done on them before i upgraded
The engine cover has a few light scratches on it and has some small damage to one of the holes which ill try and show
Shoot me an offer, im pretty much open to anything. Im situated in the Sunshine Coast (an hour north of Brissy) so pickups welcome, but i can post at buyers expense.
Cheers, Dixon
