planning on changing the bulbs behind the dash with some LEDs sometime soon. the main bit is tinted orange so i'm going to put white bulbs in so at least it's a bright orange rather than a hard-to-read orange: i think the sub-sections off to either side (ABS, seatbelt, handbrake, etc) are their own bulbs so might cut sick on a fruity miami/LA 80s sunset tip:

nice one, i'm leaning more and more towards mesh as well when i eventually get stuck in on the wheels and tyres (although can't get RPF1s off my mind at the moment). so yours is a sedan? do the sportivo skirts, etc fit on it? in which case does that mean you'd probably wanna hang on to all the sportivo stuff except the risers/spoiler...? will pm you about this. yeah have seen a few ae112 (liftback though) that people have put effort into around perth. there's a guy in/around bull creek with a levin the same colour as mine who has this giant LEVIN EURO decal done up and splashed across the doors. some guy out the front of my work the other week in a white first gen with the skirts and factory sport rims and some sega rally-ish decals up the back. but then also there was a guy selling a car on gumtree (and i saw it parked in west perth until it sold on gumtree) with a first gen in the same colour as mine, with skirts and... both a levin badge and an ultima badge search for "ae112 corolla" on facebook, the page is starting to get a bit more active lately.

nice one, something a bit different
-
the slam is strong in this one
-
still some shadow but mostly de-Seca'd it:
-
the work equip look killer. -
nice one. keen to see it once you change the rear spoiler
-
whoah ok yeah those are pretty good. thanks mate. el donkey, i see where you're coming from but don't think i could pump up the jam to that extent. going to be white or gold and 15" or maybe even (get ready) 14".
-
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo what's happening with your set of Hayashi then? really though, sorry to hear about this. looked so mean in a real life / everyday setting (also on the track as well though, obviously)
-
did not even know they made them in white. what a great time to be alive
-
the bigg dogg Jaay has been kind enough to photoshop some potential realities in terms of wheels and lowering. the car as it is now: Enkei 92: Enkei RPF1: Rota Grid Classic: my pick is def the Enkei 92. wasn't sure if it would work but definitely into how it looks here. don't think the AE112 is mean enough for the RPF1 though unforcho. keen to hear what anyone else may think. thanks Jaay!
-
emotional rollercoaster morning: the Enkei 2013 catalogue suggests RPF1 only happens in gold at 18" but it turns out some MX5-centric place in America managed to get hold of a bunch in 14" and 15". $321.51 for shipping to Australia a bit of a downer though...
-
ha! i reckon you'll have an easier time getting hold of a levin grille than i will sportivo risers. yeah photoshopping the wheels would be cool when you have a sec at some point, here's a side-on photo as i'm guessing that makes it a fair bit easier? as you can see though it's on a bit of an angle. also, looks like i weirdly had the flash on but it's just a coincidence with the sun.

how long were you on the waiting list for juvenile?

holy moly

pretty hot in the two door

the quest for dish: the current Levin rims are 14x5.5 at +45: ideally looking for something in 15x7 with whatever offset works in terms of them not poking out past the guards yet still being on a strong look. would love to go gold Rota Aleica (Hayashi Yayoi[/sakura] knock-offs) in 15x8 but with the available offsets i don't think it's going to happen. currently thinking Enkei 92 or RPF1 in gold or Rota Grid Classic in white. Hayashi Streets or Rota Shakotans in stock/silver would be cool but the budget and available offests in those too options is prohibitive.
-
(thread now here) hadn't looked into BBS to be honest but yeah thinking of either white or gold. initially i was against the gold badging and ready to return it to stock/silver but it's grown on me now (especially seeing the same car as mine around a bit, definitely more in the purple-ish blue than in silver or green).
-
ok so this is my 2000 Corolla Levin which is as stock as it was when it rolled out of Takaoka except someone has: a. replaced the factory CD player with a radio-only Pioneer SuperTuner; b. put a no-name sub in the (admittedly massive) boot and put tweeters on the inside of where the wing mirrors are that do nothing but vibrate loudly; c. sprayed all of the badging gold. plans for the rest of the year are: -respray the roof and spoiler seeing as they really copped it during that hailstorm a few years ago and the clearcoat is not having a great time of it (#perth) -a head unit that can handle compact discs and then probably 2x pioneer 6" in the front doors and 2x 6x9" in the parcel shelf; -new/different springs (not going coilovers though); -rolling the rear guards; -obtaining some dish; -swapping the aerial over for a small one; -LEDs behind the dash. -sporitvo spoiler risers would be good if i ever see any pop up anywhere. ... (since that first photo was taken there is now a dashmat)
-
going to start a slow motion thread for mine on here sometime soon so may hit you up then to see what the gold mesh look like on it (8L5, blue pearl / reflex blue). el donkey don't mean to hijack you're thread mate.
-
nice one Jaay. do you have any others that you did at the same time or was it just he Enkei 92?
-
keen on the update...
-
haha yeah fair enough. probably just going to go 7" but yeah will look at just doing the rears. in a perfect world i'd be going with the gold rota aleica (hayashi yayoi/sakura knock-off) but the tamest specs they come in 15x8 with no offset. that would be the jam as a previous owner has already taken it upon themselves to spray all the badging gold, just going to go with it. now thinking maybe the mesh enkei they've re-issued but need to sort the springs before anything else...
-
on that note though, did either of you need to roll the guards at all? would rather avoid it if possible as i'm a DIY retard. is it illegal to do? asking because i don't wanna do it myself and don't want to rock up to a garage somewhere, ask for it and then have the guy look at me like an even bigger ******* than i may already appear to him as
-
cool, this is great news for me and DishQuest 2013, thanks guys
