  1. Welcome!! Nice AE101!! Personally I believe the AE10x's are probably the best corolla chassis, I miss mine alot

    There are plenty of mods for these if you look in the right places, if you ever need help or advice dont hesitate to ask :)

  2. a suprise to me that u used 6/4 before..i used 4/4 and set the coilover to the hardest and the car is undrivable on the street because it is too bumpy.....also,my car is 200kg heavier..

    is there something wrong with your coilover? also,if u change your spring rate.the valve of thre shocks need to be readjusted

    regarding your tyre.funny that the tyre mark is still there

    I guess it comes down to 2 things, the valving in the shock and the suspension geometry. The shocks were overly stiff for the springs, I know this because its soft one moment and stiff the next... And since my roll centre is so far below ground it needs a stiffer spring to compensate said geometry woes.

    Also I was told that these were the stiffest springs I could go before I needed a re-valve, apparently you can go +or- 4 kg and was recommended by Bazda to go to these rates, bloke knows his stuff!

    Far out you work qucikly and install it fast. Make me look bad.........

    Your work ethic is bad and you should feel bad. zoidberg.jpg

  3. Reason why I moved on from a 2004 Subaru Impreza RS to Corollas is because of the cost of insurance, its just too much for a 'sports car'

    Another reason is just for running costs, the corollas use alot less fuel than the subaru did. Not to mention if I smash (or get smashed) in a Corolla it would probably cost me just $500 or so to reshell it :P

    Maintenance on the corolla is a bit high since it is 26 years old its bound to have problems, i keep racing it and modifying it so its bound to happen...

    Supras are a good car but in my opinion I would purchase something cheaper and smaller to start out with until you gain mechanical knowledge and you know the costs involved in owning a car.

    Also, wait till you are on your fulls and get a TT Supra ;)

  4. So like totally yeah...

    Also, found the little biatch knock coming from my rear drivers side caliper - everything is tight but the top half wobbles, slider pin things worn maybe?

    Oddly enough, The new spring rates are 10/8k whereas the ones before them are 6/4k. They seem to be working alot better with the car and the shocks and surprisingly have a very comfortable ride (dafuq?) the car is more planted, stable, easier to drive and much more predictable on the limit of grip. Very happy with them! :)
