Hell yes this is so on the wish list!! Now to get those valves and springs too

+1 I barely ever need my mirrors in the first place. If I really need to see what's behind (ie. a cop etc), I use my side mirrors. These don't vibrate with the bass on my Aurion luckily. Funnily enough my driver's side mirror vibrates pretty bad when the bass notes hit

thx man! coz of your photo.. its sold thxthx! hahah Hahah awesome! So can I get your rims for cheaper now? Jokes.. I have no money anyways :(

eh I just deal with it..

Most probs. Where was this and what time? near that church, heading towards the freeway south entry? i was at the traffic lights, white aurion with HID's Ahh on Charles St. Yeah my gf and I were going on a lil cruise lol

C-one cooling panel with OWF radiator cover.

Most probs. Where was this and what time?

you should see mine with 2xsubs, i dont even know why i still have it there,lol Mine's actually worse now, because I have the engine mount inserts in B) So even if I'm stationary and rev it vibrates lol or even at idle Again like I said it's because its mounted to the roof, so therefore its connected straight to the body. I think Mercs have it stuck to the windscreen? That would explain less vibrations.

WHITE!!! That is all...

Nah i didn't reseal it. Same ol' gasket as well. I just put a little bit of oil on it to make the seal sit right. Funnily enough I want to raise the height of my car but I guess everyone loves the height too much :P

Yay pics with my mates STI :) Damn those Brembos are monsters! Yay mushroom! There is some similarities between the Rolla and the STI LOL Yes I'm lower Mmm sexy dirty rims

Took some photos of it :)

Yesterday I cleaned out the intake side of my engine.. Throttle body coolant bypass... Done Hondata heat shield intake manifold gasket... Installed Throttle body.. Thoroughly cleaned with carby cleaner Intake manifold itself.. Cleaned up towards the head side on the runners.

Update. Hey all. Worked on the car abit today. Installed the Hondata heat shield intake manifold gasket that I've had lying around for yonks lol.. Also did the throttle body coolant bypass mod While the intake manifold was off I cleaned up the inside of the manifold a bit and sanded down the casting imperfections near the head side of the runners. Took the throttle body off and cleaned it thoroughly with some carby cleaner Also intake valves looked clean so am pretty happy :) After fanging the car for a bit, both mods seem to make a little difference. Although the intake manifold was still warm, it wasn't nearly as hot as what the valve cover felt like. Biggest surprise was the the throttle body. Was still cold and so was my intake piping near it. Normally both would be quite hot to touch. We shall see how well the Hondata gasket holds up. PS. Does anyone know if not having the triangle bracket (one at the right top near the runner closest to the tb) will cause unwanted stress on the bolts and nuts on the manifold?

It's a genuine Toyota rear lip. Go to Toyota with the Part number. They should be able to get it for you.

The Teins I don't think are springs. They are coilovers so yeah if you have dosh for it, splurge C-One make the eyelids you are thinking of, but they are quite pricey.. As much as I loved the HPR0 oil it got dirty pretty quickly. Dirty as in 6000kms. Also abit thin for summer too.. Now as for CAI, get whichever one comes up for sale for cheap :)

All AUDM ZZE Corollas do not come with a filter installed.. I believe the filter is a particulate filter. I bought a CairFil carbon cabin filter. Its a particulate and pollen filter :)

You might wanna start considering first whether you want a body kit or just a lip kit..

Well if it's this Monday I won't be able to come :( I got work Sunday night and work Monday morning :( So me and my gf are out..

Yeah Andy need a confirmed date before I can ask my gf..

What extractors are those?

Never said anyone was. Directional tyres prevent you from doing 4 (or 5) wheel rotations, you can only rotate the wheels on each side. Directional tyres can be had in 15s, just not easily here as there is no demand. Look up track tyres and you will see they aren't available in low profile for a reason. The difference between a 16, a 17 and a 15 on the street will be negligible. I compete on 15s and I'm not seeing any loss in handling. But most people buy rims for show, so yes bigger rims do look better and 17s on the Corolla look less awkward than 15s. Don't forget to pay attention to the rim width, which is just as critical to handling as the rest of the specs. As for you preload question. You want to know how much they compress the spring from the factory? Zero. I think you mean height drop; If I remember correctly its -40mm at the front and -50mm at the back. As far as track tires go, another reason people put bigger rims on their cars, is because the have the ability to go wider, I currently have 7.5's instead of the stock 6, So that's an extra 1.5 inches of tread, although currently the rim itself is 2 inches bigger, It's not a bad idea to have bigger rims on a track car, that way you can fit bigger braking systems in your wheels. Most of the GT1 GT2 and some GT3 cars run bigger rims than stock* (This is referring to the GT2.GT3 classes)(They usually do fit bigger rims, But not all the time (mostly wider/lighter ones). But what about those semi light weight rims? you were talking about adding weight. Therefore making your car slower, but if you get a set of rims that weigh the same as your stock rims; its not a bad idea. I quite confused about what you are trying to say here... -You don't need to go a larger size to go wider. For example sportivo rims are 16x6. Most aftermarket ones are 16x7. Although you could get a 3 piece to -I'm pretty sure you can still fit most big brake kits under 16s on the rolla. -The reason the Carrera Cup cars run larger wheels is because they have upgraded brakes which require them to have larger wheels. It's not that they just wanted to use larger wheels for 'grip' -No matter how light you make the larger size rim, they smaller version of the rim will always be lighter. Btw the stock sportivo rim weighs 8-8.5kg. A quality lightweight rim will weigh somewhere between 6-7kg for a 16x7 (which is wider) Also in regards to tyres. I don't think you understand what radial means still. Directional, assymetric and conventonal are all terms that describe the tread on the tyre. All these tyres are constructed in a similar way; tyre is constructed about the circumference, not across the width, hence called 'radial'. My definition sucks lol :(

It's not a magnet, just a spring. Congrats on the car :)

Big rims do the opposite to performance and handling. And good tyres don't have to be directional. Slicks ftw :P lol Personally I would get Cusco Zero 2s if I had the money..

You got a specific date in mind yet Andy?
