  1. I had this a while ago but i lost it but now that i've found it i thought i might share it to all the other ae112 owners on here that would assist them. http://www.4shared.com/office/YUMY0Duvba/toyota_corolla_e11_manual.html
  2. I thought i would upload something super useful to all the corolla owners on here the MANUAL GUIDE =D THE WHOLE BIBLE TO DIY Been using this as a guide for my ae112 2000, its the european model for the book but most of the interior is the same except for the engine which is different. All in all it is pretty much the same and has been super helpful to me in removing my cluster and interior. UPDATE Will hopefully have the new cluster in with the new lights by end of this weekend. Centre console lights have blown and out of position and constantly turn off as well as the transmission illuminator has blown. Next month Hopefully my friend will find some time to paint my bodykit if not then i will try another friend. Will show the progress on next update Not sure if i can upload it but i will try. http://www.4shared.com/office/YUMY0Duvba/toyota_corolla_e11_manual.html You guys can thank my later.
  3. So this car has been in the family ever since, one owner and one owner only. Originaly was my brothers first new ride, now it has been passed down to me. Parts list (Updated as of may) - Installed = Klutch SL1 16x8 4x100 (3inch lip) +15 - Installed = Rays Engineering - Lock Lug Nuts (Authentic) - BC V1 Series Coilovers ae101/ae111 Macpherson strut - AE112R Levin Instrument Cluster - AE112R Levin Entire rear Consisting on Hubs, Calipers, Rotors, Brake Line, Controller arms (SOO HEAVY). - AE112 Replacement grille ( Future project vip style grille ) - AE112 TR-Bodykit Set (Gold colour needs to be repainted to white/what ever colour i repaint my car to) - AE110 00" Ascent/Conquest Japanese Rear Light set ( Import Monster ) - Camber bolts Parts list to buy AE112 Sportivo Front lip. Camber bolts???? Wheel Fenders if there are any To do list Repaint scratches on the side of the car Fit TR bodykit Complete Disc Brake Conversion kit Install Coilovers and adjust height (ENG. PERMIT) Had a minor incident with the front bar, not too noticeable in the last picture but.... im ocd with how clean i want my car and i want it damage free ><. Will the TTE Bodykit front the old pre facelift AE112 fit? I only assumed that the facelift had changed the exterior lights / bonnet lid / grille / indicator lights and not the bolts holding onto the front bumper. So whats the news? do i haggle to get the bumper or not. This tte model is going to get scrapped either way because he wants it all for 1,500.
  4. I did an image comparison using the corolla badge as a common source of length. It seems that the difference in length is about 5% difference (AE112 boot seems a bit larger). My concern was the fact that the boot look slightly different and wasn't sure if there was a bend in the AE112 model. My original plan was to buy a newer model lip spoiler from the 06+ models? and try to form it into my boot, but it seemed to daunting as the size and shape difference was too much. So this may be less of a gamble as they look roughly the same. All in all i might reconsider doing it after i get my front end fixed and a front lip purchased
  5. GOOD NEWS EVERYONE Bodykit is about to go off to paint this monday and will be fitted the following sunday hopefully. Wheels will probably go on this week or next week depending how i feel. side note : I been meaning to get a Trunk lip spoiler I've been noticing two similar parts but the seller was reluctant to tell me that it did not suit my ae112 2000 year. ( Picture 3&4) I want to purchase the TRD Ducktail for the ae110 from overseas but sadly they do not do international shipping. ( Picture 1&2 suties my car ) Although i can purchase this one from ebay at 200 dollars ( Picture 3&4 not sure if it suits my car ) for a Toyota Altis 2001-2007 As you can see they have strikingly similar appearance and size. To my research it seems that both were known as the toyota altis and from pictures the boot lid dimension at the end seem roughly the same. Opinions guys? Do i gamble and buy it and attempt to fit it even though if its a little bit bigger.
  6. Last pictures before rims got removed. They will be back but in due time.
  7. Bad news for the project, just recently got yellow stickered ..... defect notice for the ridiculous rims. In accordance to safety it needs to comply, the only problem I suspect that i won't pass the check is the fact that it sticks outside the fenders. The only way i can beat that is if I get some cheap ***** bolt on fenders from ebay. In logic the police guy was quite nice, he could of been hell of ***** and ticked every box and fined me for random stuff. But all he gave me was a sticker and a note to what i had to comply with. Steering, tyres and suspension. Tyres and Rims are within the limit of the regulation. Suspension just needs to be lifted relatively close to stock height or within +-50mm of stock height. Steering was just an add on because of the camber. ITS JUST THE BODY!!!!! >< Life of a car enthusiast =D Looks like i might have to just hold off for the end of the year, repaint the car white plastidip and give it a military weathered look with brown/black/grey plastidip spray cans.
  8. They are pristine clear and clean. All globes still installed as well. I'm sure anyone else on here would agree they look much better than the lights we got for the face-lift model.
  9. Pictures tonight mate =p i've haven't had time to exercise my excitement of opening the parcel...... Thanks to import monster, their service was great. Shipped within 3 business days. I only opened up 1 so far, the packaging was perfect. Glad wrapped and cleaned, bubble wrap then some classic Japanese newspaper. $100 Roughly for the whole set, it then added up to ~330 roughly. So it was the shipment from the seller to import monster in japan, then shipment to my house, all in all it adds up and also tax and Commission hence the pricey shipping payment. But it was fast and well worth it. I'll get to removing the badges this weekend and installing the lights hopefully.
  10. Will be attempting to probably de-badge my car this weekend, also riding hard and low has finally start to come at a cost. Must of hit something hard recently to partially damage the front cv joint on the right hand side. Seems to give a small knock noise when i turn right but only at low speeds of 10 and below. Not too keen to just run out instantly and go buy a new cv joint over 1 little knock. The car will live and it will be just a daily driver till I get a stable job and graduate. Other than that new problem I think im just waiting on the Lights from japan and if Evolve Body Coatings will get in more bloody sprayers so that i can purchase a kit and repaint the car before uni starts to kick into gear.
  11. Just recently purchased a set of AE110 JDM rear lights from import monster, just waiting on shipment calculation tonight.
  12. I wasn't keen on getting the TR Front Bumper on the car because t just looked too fugly imo. That's why I'm opting to purchase the Front sportivo lip from eastern states, much cleaner look and if it doesn't look low enough i might just buy some of this stuff to make it look cooler =D. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Front-Bumper-Lip-Spoiler-TOYOTA-Aurion-Camry-Avalon-Corolla-Sportivo-/151069317450?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item232c6ed94a&_uhb=1 On another note i was wondering if anyone on here has managed to remove those factory stickers on the rear? I know I can remove the badges and glue because i've got the tools for it. But the stickers? I haven't seen a post regarding removing the factory stickers. For the people that got them removed, they've all had full resprays.
  13. Lets put it this way, i'm screaming like a girl everytime I see speed dumps and humps, I hear a bit of rubbing at the front but its okay, only happens when i hit heavy changes in the road. I definitely breaking a lot of necks and turning heads for all the wrong reasons. I saw a gtr pass me and i saw him totally turn his head to see my ride. Had few guys in Subarus pass me and wind the window down and yell out sick rims. Had a few kids in their V8 Ford Falcon turn their heads for my rims. A lot of people ask about the rims thinking that they are pretty expensive and a lot definitely think that my ride looks hella crazy on the freeway due to -4.00 camber . So sad I didn't get rolling shot on the freeway. All in all the comfort drive in my car out a scale of ten is -10 LOL. You see that change in the road height by 2cms I FEEL IT, you see reflectors in the road I FEEL IT. Bumpy ride, but at what cost? Less tyre rub and wicked ride height. Its simply clean =D. Looking to get stuff from EBC when they get in sprayers again. Plastidip kit + sprayer for 500 ish not sure about shipping to perth. Need to sand down the TR bodykit and fit it on the car . I am also looking to buy the JDM OEM toyota AE110 98-01 Rear Lights from Import Monster and to finish off the kit I am going to ship over from eastern states the Sportivo lip. Everyone should have the set JDM OEM lights, they are dam affordable if you find them at the right price, much cheaper than a single OEM light in australia. 4 Parts JDM < 1 PART Australian. Stupid thing is that they are BOTH OEM .... FACTORY STANDARD. Same size same shape same globes.
  14. 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.
  15. Hey jay you know how you got the whiteline bolts? did they fit and how much camber did you adjust. I'm thinking about getting them now as thats the only other option than getting camber plates. Cheaper and easier alternative, because getting camber plates means i need to rip out the seats every time i want to adjust them. Need to change my -1.5 camber to -2.5 ~-3 at the rear to tuck in my rims.
  16. so jealous everyone running super lows or have dropped 40mm all around, i'm running stock and frankly im running scared from dropping anymore than 30mm. I REGRET getting 205's over 195's. But they were the only ones that had less stretch for 8 inch wide rims. That 10mm of extra width is driving me mad lol. I need to camber my wheels all around to tuck the wheels at the front.
  17. just another question how much did you drop all around rear and front? At the moment i'm thinking of dropping roughly 40-30 and the front and 30-20 at the back (anymore and then i have to set my setting to super stiff) depending on how much space i have for the tyres. I'm gonna go for 2.0 degrees of camber all around depending on how much i need at the front to be inside the fenders. I remember reading across one of your posts when you had the 15x8 koyas that you had 195/45/15 tyres. I've got 205/45/16, the guys said it be hard to fit the 195's on so i went the little extra. Plus 205's were some what cheaper! so it seems you got 10mm less than me on the width.
  18. Update after rim installation Rear guards were rolled by myself, not the best but MALZ was selling fender rollers for $99 and it was either pay $99 and roll the guards or wait a whole week in the garage till I get them rolled and coils installed. Spent 3 hours rolling the guards ><. First time diy and the first guard i rolled was perfect, although i think i rushed the second guard hence it was not even =[. All in all i did stop the wheel rub. How did you manage to tuck your front wheels in jaay? or the rears? when you had the 15x8 koyas. Everyones been telling me i'm going to get pulled over by the cops for the poke of the tyres, so i'm thinking i need to roll the front when i get coils. If i cant roll them enough then i might have to look at getting wheel fender flares.
  19. Don't think anyone can figure out what's actually in that pile of junk. Rear Brake set Controller arms ? Anything else i need for the conversion lol, The guys practically chopped up the rear and just gave it to me. Less the struts/rims/wheels Might need help with the bolts if there are any missing ones. As you can see the rears have not been rolled.
  20. So this car has been in the family ever since, one owner and one owner only. Originaly was my brothers first new ride, now it has been passed down to me. Parts list (Updated as of may) Installed = Klutch SL1 16x8 4x100 (3inch lip) +15 Installed = Rays Engineering - Lock Lug Nuts (Authentic) BC V1 Series Coilovers ae101/ae111 Macpherson strut AE112R Levin Instrument Cluster AE112R Levin Entire rear Consisting on Hubs, Calipers, Rotors, Brake Line, Controller arms (SOO HEAVY). AE112 Replacement grille ( Future project vip style grille ) AE112 TR-Bodykit Set (Gold colour needs to be repainted to white/what ever colour i repaint my car to) Parts list to buy AE112 Sportivo Front lip. AE110 00" Ascent/Conquest Japanese Rear Light set ( Import Monster ) Camber bolts???? Wheel Fenders if there are any To do list Repaint scratches on the side of the car Repaint+Fit TR bodykit Complete Disc Brake Conversion kit Install Coilovers and adjust height As a newbie coming into the scene i feel like i've clearly set myself up for a long journey of learning and making stupid mistakes. Few months ago all i wanted was the bodykit now i've worked myself up to working hard on the car and getting that look i wanted. Recently I got my wheels fitted, lets just say the guys at the shop were worried about me pulling over rather than the wheels hitting the guards/struts because they are dammm wide. I had to stretch 1 inch more than the recommended size for the tyres. So funny the guy fitting the nuts didnt realise the lock nut has 1 more side to it, quote " this is stupid this looks like a normal nut ". How much poke do I have for 8 Inches with +15 offset..... clearly too much for fenders to be rolled lol. I definitely need some wheel fenders =D to cover these babies up. For the guys that helped me figure out about my tyres and wheels thankyou. On the other hand I'm getting rub noises when i hit big humps in the road. I don't think its the actual guards because i haven't lowered anything yet, plus I use to get the same noise on the same humps but it was just the sound of the struts/springs. The sound comes from both rears but only on the left rear when i turn right, whats your thoughts? Is it the fenders or the struts? Has anyone on here attempted to purchase the JDM lights? Is the wiring different and are the bulbs the same? I will update with pictures on the parts I have in the next few posts.
  21. I think i found the most sickest purchase ever. Just found a AE112 LEVIN wrecked in eastern states, called up the guys and got a confirmation on the car and parts. Scored myself a new Instrument cluster the whole rear hubs + brake lines (excluding strut). 490 INC Freight to western state. Includes the labor work to take it off the car and pack them up for freight so I think is a okay price to pay. I mean how much do you think it costs to install/remove parts like that in a mechanic? Think its a fair deal as they are all in working order. Not keen on the grille though but if anyone is keen message me and i'll pm the details of the wrecker. I shall keep you posted on the progress of the disc brake conversion.
  22. News update, i've found a wrecked ae112 levin. I've contacted the wreckers and got a quote price on the whole of the rear wheel assembly, So practically everything except the rims and struts/springs from the rear is what i am attempting to get. Haven't asked about the BMC yet. I also trying to get the AE112 Levin Instrument cluster as well.
  23. I think the best choice now is have a look at an actual ae112 levin that has brake disc and see the difference in parts between mine and theirs. Then i can figure out what exactly mine needs/ is missing. I noticed a new member recently joining and showed us his ae112 levin and was in perth so i might take some time and check out his car.
  24. Having said that last night I was looking exactly at the ae102 1.8L SECA on gumtree. All i wanted from the car was the brake hub assembly, brake lines, brake calipers. Sadly The next morning i went to find the same advert and the car is now shown as sold =[. I haven't gone to the wreckers yet, but i've tried giving them a call to see if they have any ae112 levins or ae102 1.8L . An update of what i think i might need to grab of these cars - Wheel hub assembly - Brake calipers - Brake lines the run under the whole car to the master cylinder? - Handbrake cable What exactly is the BMC? Not going to grab the rotors as i'm thinking of buying a set of front and rear slotted rotors and new brake pads.
  25. I've been planning to do a drum brake conversion to disc brake, although i'm still not quite sure what i need exactly to do the conversion. I recently visited my friend who is a mechanic and has worked on countless corollas in his years of being a mechanic. I asked him what i exact parts i needed to obtain in order to do the conversion. He told me that you can either find a ae112 levin or the ae101 seca which apparently has the same design. - Rear Hub Assembly - Rotors - Brake Calipers - Brake line I'm not sure what else i exactly need and how the part suppose to look. I don't need the struts because i have already bought BC Coilovers from the ae101. For a newbie at cars all I really understand is that the rear hub assembly allows you to mount the brake calipers on them and the rotors just sit generally on the bolts. The brake line is needed to connect to the brake calipers (in order to brake?). Please help me understand what else i need to do, for example how does the handbrake operate when i change to disc brakes.
