Anyone here using DBA T2 rotors. Please post some pics of what they look like after being used.
-
I was just being lazy with the brake measurements. I was told by a retailer that DBA and RDA along with few others were made in Asia as opposed to locally. Not much choice there. I had a look at both Jap and Sth African ones. Jap-255mm and Sth African-258mm I always thought the rear brakes were smaller than the front ones but the Corolla has 269mm rear and 255mm fronts. The fronts being vented and the rears being solid.
-
Do the RDA ones wear out faster? Having a bit of trouble finding the size of the front rotors. Apparently there were 255mm and 275mm ones that these cars were shipped with.
-
Thanks. Have bought RDA rears. Will try to get DBA fronts.
-
Looking for some feedback regarding brake rotors. How are RDA rotors? Was thinking of the RDA Dimpled slotted fronts and Solid Rears. Much thanks

Hi guys, gonna resurrect this thread again. Looking to buy a belt for a 2004 Jap 1ZZFE. Can anyone confirm what the belt length would be. So far seem to be confused with the 6pk1810 and 6pk1815. Thanks

New tyres. The Firestone F01 bears an uncanny resemblance to the Bridgestone Turanza AR10. Maybe just rebranded since Bridgestone own Firestone. Not sure if they share the same compounds though. Source: Comparison images from google.

Car has gone from having 4 tyres, each from different manufacturers and sizes to one manufacturer and same size tyres all around. Had two 185/60R15 and two 195/60R15 earlier. Now 195/60R15 Firestone F01 all round.
-
Which one would you recommend for longevity? Thanks
-

I just bought a 10/04 Corolla Conquest Sedan ZZE122. It only came with a valet key. Whats the best method forward to getting a spare key made. Ideally would like to get a master key made. But I am not sure what keys came with the car. The owners manual lists two possibilities, one with the 2 button remote+key and one without(only transponder key). Not sure which ones came with my car. Ebay has a wide selection so not sure which one to go for. Thanks in advance.
-
I need some information regarding car keys. When i bought the car it came with only 1 key which i found out is the valet key. Is there anyway or rather cheap way to get a spare key made and programmed. What kind of key would i need.I saw some keys online with some specific rage frequencies. How do I know what frequency does my car keys use. Is there any way to find out? Also, is there a way to tell if my car is equipped with central locking. Thanks

Use a syringe to grease the linkage inside without removing the boot and the clutch cylinder. It is a bit risky if done over zealously. That's why I followed the video
-
Yes. There was an easier cheat. But chose to do a thorough job.
-
Horrible noise fixed.
-
Coming to the niggles. The most annoying one so far is the clutch.It is really hard and makes an awful noise when engaged. Can anyone tell me whats the issue here. Is it possible to lubricate this mechanism? Video:

Thank you kind sir.

Hi Everyone, I am starting this thread to document the ownership journey of my first car in Australia. I just purchased a preloved 2004 Toyota Corolla Conquest Sedan a couple of days ago. As a first time car buyer I did involve a mechanic to go over the car while also checking the logs and giving the mechanic who worked on the car to find out what some of the repairs were done for and what can I expect and when. The previous mechanic confirmed that it was a trouble free and honest car. The car had done 1965xx kms already. But from research and speaking with mechanics I am told it can go on for more easily(I sure hope so). With all that information and the test drive going through fine I took the plunge and got my "Rolla". I have been posting stuff on a different thread but thought its time to document all my car stuff under one thread to make it accessible to anyone who looks for this make and model year car. I request all the experienced and seasoned owners to share some ownership experiences and how to properly use this machine and care for it. If I have parked this thread in the wrong place I request the moderators to move it accordingly.

I highly recommend that you go through the link Hiro posted. It has a lot of past projects and photos on a lot of topics. Pick what appeals to you. Direct recommendations, ditch the current ride and get a Sportivo or Celica. That's what I'd do.
-
Whether or not its worth it is a very subjective question. Cars are valued by the market and by aficionados. Two said aficionados have already replied. I'm going to be the voice of reason(who am I kidding-mod it mate) If you are planning on keeping the car, modifying it and making it better would seem logical. But if you are going to sell it or upgrade, you are almost never going to recover the time, effort or funds you put into it or fully enjoy it. Choice is yours.
