  1. CAR: 2000 Corolla AE112R sedan SPRINGS: King Lows KTFL-45 (front) & KTRL-82 (rear) I have searched the King Spring website for Super Low and also asked through local performance garage. Have been told Super Lows aren't offered for the AE112. I know that the KTFL-45 (low) & KTFL-45SL (super low) coded front springs are shared across Celica ST162/SX162, Corolla AE82/AE92/AE93/AE94. However Lovell do Super Lows for the AE112... Worth spending the cash swapping all 4 springs???... I don't think so. My question: How would the car handle if I were to run Super Lows in the front and Lows in the rear??? I know I can do custom lowered for rear but is it really worth it? I also read a post somewhere I can't find that SB talked about whiteline camber bolts... do they work, worth it and easy to install...? Next question: Handbrake doesn't seem to hold on it's clicks and over a number of times each click wears out and I end up using the last few clicks... I have drum brakes by the way. It has been adjusted many times and yet won't last until the next service. Does that mean that the cable or mechanism on the rear drums is stuffed? If this question doesn't make sense then don't worry I'll ask at a Thursday night meet. Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered before... I probably didn't look search with right key words...
  2. It's never too late to start saving mate. The question is where can you begin saving from. I'm 24. I'm currently employed permanent full-time with the Government. Living at home with my folks paying $100 per week, 1/4 of phone/electricity/water bills and 1/2 internet bill with my brother. Just about to move into my first home which I purchased few months ago... hello mortgage! This is my first ever loan... woot clean slate!!! My entire salary goes into my home loan offset... reduce that bloody interest. I have always learned from my (asian) parents to manage my money using only my savings. That way I can gauge what I can afford. I bought my car 2 years ago with my savings and for modifications with savings too. I have never owned a credit card either until it got offered with my home loan. I always use cash or savings account (debit card). The way I have been taught has allowed for me to understand how difficult it is to earn a living/money and how EASY it is to lose. To be honest since all savings went to lowering my home loan amount I have been feeling the bite to stay away from clubbing, eating out, spending on unnecessary items, alcohol, etc. However since my first 2 home loan repayments I have managed to sit down and figure out where I can save. That is catching the train to work instead of driving (So I save on parking, fuel and maintenance/running costs), taking a packed lunch box instead of buying, learning to shop around at various shops to keep within budget/make savings (it takes more time and pain in the **** but it's the only way to save even a few cents makes a difference). I know that saving will only get worse next year as I plan to return to university. So yes I find it hard to save because I have all these burdens. I only wish money grew on trees. But to survive I must adapt to social economy changes in order to keep myself happy, healthy and as distant from stress as possible. I believe there's always ways around everything... just sometimes we need guidance to get out of the hole we just fell in.
  3. ooo new goodies aye... Also I must say your car looks so much more appealing with the darker tint :)
  4. Sounded pretty good as you left Thursday night. Looked good with the mags too :)
  5. Oh very nice sir! How does the exhaust note sound... do you get any raspy noise around 3-4k rpm? Oh and the Hi-Clone how much did that set you back?... proper one from Toyota? Where did you pickup your front lip from and who painted it and how much? BTW... just to let you know if you are interested... there are AE112R Sportivo side skirt copies on ebay :) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-Corolla-Spor...1QQcmdZViewItem
  6. if are u refering to the cutout mesh grille i had, well that is gone, my nephew wrecked it while i was trying to fix it up, but ill probably cutout the grille i got now sum time in the future. am in the process of buying a house at the moment, and all my stuff is packed up, but when i get the garage sorted out ill be repainting sum stuff and ill probably get around to the grille then. the mags are only new, i used to have gold "lite-7"s on instead but the gold faded on them, i complained to the speedy rep and he got me a new set of mags. i like these black ones better now. what happened to yours, how come you didnt get them? Well I bought a house few months ago and then had an acco... so had to get some replacements and couldnt afford those new ones... It looks way better with these new ones :)
  7. are you hinting a cruise somewhere Rowan... though weather seems bit crap at the moment...
  8. yeah they came about 5 minutes after you left LOL I was the worry wort LOL. They took off down the road and parked for a minute or 2 then took off LOL. So perhaps they are building a database with the info they took LOL.
  9. Welcome to TOCAU. I've been *cough* stalking you on rollaclub.com :) Have seen the progress your beast has been through. Very nice... Are you going to get the grille you made back on??? I got a AE112 SEDAN and well in Brisbane though!!! Should come out to a TOCAU Thursday night meet... just follow Evo7 LOL You got the mag wheels I was going to get until something happened LOL... Well done with what you've done so far and good luck with it...

    have fun with these ones... I wouldn't mind seeing a nice JDM looking one. :)
  18. Not bad. In my opinion you should have left the standard front bar on and stuck on the sportivo lip, grille and fog lights. But your car so if you like it then kudos to you. Please don't stick a wing on it man... you'll kill it.
