Its hard to find if you cant read jap

See the sketches of the proposed front skirt

Looks awesome

Alfi,

where did u get it done??

C-one have some performance and sports strut bars out already...

I m pretty interested

Not too keen on the hatches of the new ones, when I was purchasing my corolla last year they had all the pics of the new hatches and I just couldnt stand em compared to the model at the time so I grabbed on of the last ones and am pleased as with it. But I have seen the new sedans and they are nice, didnt even recognise it as I thought it was some bodykitted camry. It kinda looks like a baby camry... Is toyota doing something funny...Corolla looks like Bigger Yaris...Corolla Looks like Baby Camry...hmmm

It's just toyota doign what BMW and now Mazda have done for years. A common styling factor across various models.

Mazda 2,3,6 all have very similiar styling lines.

BMW 1,3,5 series as well as thier 4wd's have the same treatment with similiar front ends.

Personally i hate it and I don't want to buy say a corolla and people say it's a Yaris or a Camry.

talk about same styling

Look at Peugeot. All their series looks the same. I cant even tell the differences.

The Blade Master cost $24,000au in japan. I'm sure most people here are happy for toyota to charge just below $40,000 to go against the civic typr R. But it must be an un-watered down version.

I been thinking to buy one of those flip key cases. But then, it doesnt have one that fits the new rolla keys so a remote fob needs to be purchases then have to get the key cut then coded

If toyota can code it for $30 then thats not too bad. But worth it for the hassle just to get a flip key?

I just got myself a ZR Rolla, got a good deal because I played 4 different dealerships against each other. Went to the first, got a price in writing, went to the next and showed them the quote and asked if they could better it, they did, then take that one to the next dealership and repeat. After about 2 weeks of going from one to the next and back around again, I probably saved around thousand bucks at least. I got a ZR with moon roof, unlimited free car washing for life, 6 year warranty, fixed price servicing including parts, metallic paint, “17 ANZ predator wheels (that I selected and asked the dealership to get for me (cost $1200 with rubber, less $900 back for return of the stock wheels). Total cost $31,350 drive away, very happy with it, worth the work. Get the ZR over the SX, the gizmos are very cool, I love em, despite the fact they are not necessarily the most useful things in the world, the cool factor rules, lol.

Manual or Auto?

Not a bad price with a moonroof.

I wonder how much an Auto one cost now.

Tofuboi~~~~~~~~~~~

Got a question for you.

Could you be still able to use the controls on the steering after changing to the navigation unit you had or any other unit??

Thanks

i m suprise this thread is still active after 12 hours.. haha

I dont really get why people takes out their cat and muffler for that bloody noise where the car in fact is crawling on the road.

I perfer performance in slience.

Just a question about the headlight shell and projector lens for levin ZR and other grades. Are they the same or different for the ones with HID and halogen?

well,

i need my boot space to carry stuff. I dont like to use backseats. But what ever works for you. I would just rather spent the money on improving ride quality or performance then sound systems.

i dont really see a point of installing subs and speakers in a car. You can never get the true sound of the speaker in the car, you lose boot space, and you get massive rattle that mite rip your car apart in the long run. And with the money you pay, i rather get a home system. Not to mention how many hours do you actually spent in your car per day???

for the hatch,

its all about taste. People in aust might not like it. But its very popular elsewheres.

isnt the toyota moonroof a slide in hidden one and only cost 1500??

or is there something wrong with the toyota one??

woh

You guys have long trips

I only clock about 200km a week

You got HID already stock.

Not bright enough?

I m also wondering are the headlight case, projectors are the same as the levin ZR.

Hi all,

Gotta ask this, but has anyone fitted HID on there ZRE?

Will any mods required? Will the halogen projector fit the HID kit??

Any possible damage to parts?

And warranty?

Thanks

On the extreme side, my friend has a Supra twin turbo (don't know which year model) which has racing suspensions which is quite f****d up. I mean you feel the bumps inside the cabin if you run over an ant!

Manny.

The thing with racing suspension are they are tuned for a really hard ride for more downforce and stability in cornering. And they are use for tracks which are evenly smooth. With the aus roads. Its a hell ride.

I have seen auto accent for 21k drive away.

I'll tell you what though, instead of adding more power to my corolla though, ive been considering taking stuff out - not that i think i'd actually do it. A 1300kg hatchback is pretty darn heavy, and the lack of torque shows with the high weight. (would definately benefit from a S/C) But surely for the top end models they could use lighter seats (sportier), much lighter tyres, and use the whole tube manufacturing process for the frame. But then again, with modifications that severe, they would probably have to do it for all the models for continuity's sake, which would not happen.

Strangely, you dont feel the 1300kg weight when u accel with the corolla.

Try drive an A3. Thats pretty damn heavy that it wouldnt even move between the 2000rpm

Yeah that is true. It takes off quite nicely, probably cuz of the new clutch and gearbox or something. But you do feel the effect of the weight during cornering quite considerably.

The signature corolla body roll. Haha. would a strut bar help?

Mine was a slightly hail damaged one which was brand new (had 60km on the ODO). It was on offer for $25,000. The usual brand new price was about $31,990. We offered 24k (drive away) flat and Lander Toyota accepted. They had quite a few brand new cars with slight hail damage from the recent hail storm on offer that weekend, all probably got sold. So yes, we did get a considerable amount of discount.

If I had a choice, I would have gotten a base model or perhaps a conquest if there was no rare hail damage offer like the one we had. The Levin models are quite expensive, but the extra features are quite nice to have.

Woh, thats a pretty good price. Manual Trans?

Did u get the hail fix?

No not yet. It is very hard to notice because of the very light colour (Shimmer). I plan to put a sun-roof soon anyway so it should fix about 80% of the damage. The damage was very minor, so I probably will not get it fixed unless I have to.

Yes it is a stick shift.

Here are some pics!!! (sorry, about the angles, was only testing the camera at that time)

Its still a very nice score at that price.

Yeah by chance we went to the right place at the right time!. Would never have bought one if it was normal price. I believe the extra costs does not justify enough the extras on the ZRs.

Its just too pricey and out of my budget at the time i brought the car. So went for an SX. I'love to have the extras of ZR though although there are no performance gain.

Absolutely. If I was to choose b/w SX and ZR, I would have picked SX simply because there is more value per dollar in it.

If only Toyota were a little bit more sympathetic:P. They could have put sports suspension, VVTi-L (High profile CAMs) etc. You know, something that will make the LEVIN really stand out. After all, the term LEVIN is suppose to be the performance trademark of the classic Corollas.

SX, ZR, Conquest, Ascent - to me its all the same. Running costs are quite low relative to other cars within the market segment; fuel, insurance, servicing, and do not forget the good resale value too. You can never go wrong with Corollas.

Manny

somethign like the Levin ZR are only sold in japan for $22000 or something like that minus the skirts.

Look at the Blade with 3.5L v6 which kicks out 206kw. Its only $32000 equivilant.

Anything comes into aus get water down
