1. 1988 Toyota Corolla Twincam AE82 - Awesome car. 2. 2003 Toyota Corolla Sportivo - Keeping this one.

Check the online catalogue at this website. I wouldn't mind getting some too if it makes the steering feedback better. http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au/superpro.html

^^^^ x2 I stuck one eyelid on, realised that it wasn't perfectly straight and couldn't correct it because the 3m tape is so strong.

If you don't want to take your dash apart, you can go the easier route and splice into the ecu wires behind the glove box. I have my exede shift led mounted in one of the center air vents and it works very well.

Lol I take it that you went to westside and got your headers done, congrats, hopefully your as pleased with the outcome as I am. As the days have progressed since the porting you end up noticing more and more the improvements that it has done. The car feels so much easier and comfortable to drive. Alot less struggle. I had this big grin on my face when driving away from the workshop. Next person to get my ex-exhaust manifold, it's accident free with only 49K's on it, never tracked and driven by an old fart. :D

Hey CME-LFT, your ex-exhaust manifold has gone to a good home. :D :D :P

Must be the way whiteline placed the stickers between production runs... If you look at the whiteline sticker on jaderd's photo on page 4, it appears upside down facing upwards. Then look at the sticker in my photo above.

This is what it looks like on mine (installed by toyota - not sure if that means anything though). Is your swaybar welded higher up on oneside of the cylinder that houses the swaybar bolts ?

Just out of curiosity, I noticed that your whiteline rear sway bar photo on page 4 that you've installed it upside down. Not sure if this is intentional. BTW. Nice write up. Enjoyed reading it all.

Please share the damping settings, here or on owf - I agree, having seen some you tube clips of a certain yellow eg civic being driven around wakefield and seeing a few best motoring series featuring the eg civics and they just eat up the twisties so well. It's no surprise that hondas seem to retain their values better than corollas.

I'm no expert in this area, however the following paragraph is from rta nsw web site which specifies the legal limits of increasing/decreasing wheel track width without needing an engineering certificate. "An important requirement for all replacement wheels is that the wheel track must not be increased by more than 25mm beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that vehicle. Where non original axle or suspension components are fitted, the offset of the wheel in relation to the axle or stub axle assembly used shall not be increased by more than 12.5mm each side of the vehicle based on the specifications of the axle components used. If an axle assembly is shortened then the track width limit is taken as the axle manufacturers original track dimension, less the amount the assembly has been narrowed, plus 25mm" Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean the lowest wheel offset we can go is 45-12.5 = +32.5mm

Pre-facelift have ugly front head lights which are simply too big. Thank goodness for eyelids which help conceal this design flaw and make them more slim line. Toyota obviously responded to this by changing the head lights in the face lift.

The speedy lite-9's are on special here... quite reasonably priced imo. http://www.beaurepaires.com.au/centric/buy...tery_offers.jsp?

x2 You could go for the speedy lite 9's which look similar and have lip. http://www.speedywheels.com.au/images/zoom/lite-9.htm

Here is a photo of my rears on 50 profile tyres, however, they're not on the lowest setting. I have another 20mm of thread on the strut to go lower.

I've only used 2, 3, and 4 on stock sportivo rims in 205/50/16 In my opinion, Toyo T1R > Bridgestone RE001 > Yokohama S. Drive. T1R has excellent grip in wet & dry, noisy tyre once worn down. Wears quite fast. Brigestone RE001, good grip in wet & dry. Not noisy as far as I can hear. Yoko S. Drive, good grip in the dry. Wet roads, this tyre has trouble finding grip on moderate take offs. Good wear rate and quiet tyre.

Oh that is sick... I remember one time I was on a train and someone had tied a used condom to the hand rail. It was just hanging there and a lot of the commuters didn't know and touched it as they were coming down the stairs from the top level. You coud see how disgusted they were when they soon realised what they had touched. But back to the original topic. If I get rims in the near future, I'd be heading to Taleb tyres and paying the extra for good customer service.

Thanks for the info, I'll steer clear from them when I decide to get some rims.

Just another option, have you tried researching on bc street coilovers. On the ozhonda forums, people are very happy with them.

Tein superwagon are 3kg front 3kg rear.

Where does cai piping wear a hole in ac pipes ? I've never noticed mine doing that, I think it clears all of them. Did you not use all the mount points of the cai when you installed ? I thought the ac pipes would have leaked when you push it down too far to clear the front strut brace.

black rims so you don't have to clean the brake dust off them. go black.

Nothing a bit of plastic surgery can't fix. She could get those double fold eyelids for starters.

Can you pm the details ? Petersham is like a 5 minute walk for me.

Where's this guy located ? I'm looking for a good independent mechanic for my next service !
