  5. In all honesty mate, whatever is on sale really. Look into Mothers CMX, Bowden's Wet Dreams, Meguiars Ceramic Wax, Turtle Wax Hybrid Spray etc. I've used a mix of CMX, Wet Dreams and even Carpro HydrO2 sealant when I do the whole car and the work great. I tend to top it up every month or 2 just to be sure that it's slick and protected. I know that CarPro has their DLUX kit which is a ceramic coating for lights which will last much longer but does require a bit more effort to apply and what not and is also a lot pricer given that it should last a lot longer.
  6. Nice mate! Looks good. It's worth putting some spray on sealant on them too if you have any. Will stop them fading so quickly as well. I've been doing mine for the last year and a half or more and no issues with the lenses.

  8. God I didn't even think to use my foot for the brake 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I found the opposite actually, doing it by hand as I did I found the clutch to be the easier of the two.
  9. A shucks! I feel that would've saved my hands from a few cuts 😅 Oh well managed to do it without the lubrication but they were definitely much harder to manipulate compared to the standard pedals.
  10. Made some little progress today and got some free time to work on the beast. Yet again one of the headlights was showing some signs of condensation randomly the other evening so I got my trusty sealant gun out and sealed up any suspect spots again. This time I did find quite a number of spots a long the top which appeared to be new so I got them all covered and smoothed off as best as possible before allowing a few hours to set before re-installation. As you may or may not know, these are the standard ZZE pedals. Many many months ago a mate of mine got a hold of some parts which included the 'Sport Pedals' which I've always liked but didn't like the price tag. He had them for a great price and I bit the bullet and decided to go ahead with the purchase. I got them out today and gave a nice clean before installing them in the car. I can confidently say that this was one of the most time consuming and difficult jobs I've done on my own to the car. It took A LOT of fiddling around, strength, patience of course swearing to get them in. The foot rest is simple, pull out the original and click in the new unit. The clutch and brake pedals however, well they took me a good hour or more to get the originals off and install the new units. I was nervous about doing the accelerator pedal but after discussing the install with mates throughout the day (big thanks again to them), I was confident I could it and, I DID! Very happy with the new interior look and even better that the car still runs and has a functioning throttle after I've worked on it 😂 Haven't had the chance to take it for a proper spin with the pedals yet but I expect they'll be a little different to the standard rubber/plastic style pedals. Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned!
  11. Another update and more washes done 🤣 Still have a few little bits and pieces I need to get done before I'll finally just leave the car as is. I'm really happy with how it's turned out and don't really want to change anything major from now on seeing as I don't generally have the time I used to along with still not having time to learn how to install specific parts etc. Hopefully I'll have some more interesting updates later in the year. Hoping to do a good decontamination wash prior to Toyotafest this year seeing as it could potentially be the last one I enter. Anywho enjoy some more washing pics to add to the ever growing collection.

  19. No plans for flares at this stage mate. Wheels aren't wide enough for them.
  20. Been a while since the last update. Nothing new really, still have a few little bits and pieces I'll get installed hopefully before the end of the year. I'm having some suspicions that my clutch may be on it's way out since I find it's slipping a bit more than I remember but, I don't notice whether it's my left foot being a bit too slow causing the issue. Gave the car a good wash, been some time since the last after some bad weather and busy weekends but glad I squeezed it in today despite a busy morning. Started off with bug and grim removed since there was a decent build up of rubbish. Proceeded with one of my thicker foams and watched as all the rubbish came off. And done. Car definitely needs a decon wash some time this year, there's plenty of little spots I've found that definitely can't be removed by a decent wash unfortunately. Hopefully I'll give it a go before the end of the year. Stay tuned!

  23. I believe they are, last I heard someone paying well over $700 for one along with someone else selling them for $1200 a pair claiming they paid almost $1500 for them! Ah good good. I've found using some sealant on the lenses will help them from fading quicker also so even investing in a $40 spray sealant to spray on them once a month or so it should stop them from fading again.
  24. The lights between ZZE122's and ZZE123's use different plugs for what ever reason. As long as you have selected headlights suitabel for AHT VIN's (South African manufactured Corolla's) you'll have no issues. You can get the lights as a pair https://www.ozeparts.com.au/toyota/corolla-94/corolla-vin-aht/2003-03-2004-08-ze122-hatch-tab/1016347.html and it'll be well worth it especially if your current headlights have faded lenses. I purchased a set of lights from the same company a few years back and had no issues with getting them, no damage etc etc.
