Now to wheel news, yay... I fitted a spare which I found almost new and bought the new cover and bolt so it's nice and secure, also picked up a brand new in box stock rim for cheap and what I have been looking for for ages, 17" STi rims, cant wait to fit these. Haven't weighed them but I'm sure they're not that much lighter if lighter at all, same offset as stock but half inch wider...

Bought tyres which I didn't need but took advantage of the Bridgestone promotion a while back and got Potenza RE003 for $500 all four fitted, that's a bargain and these tyres are brilliant I must say, on my stockies now till I get time to fit them onto the STI rims...

They will sit in a further 23mm than stock rims so check how much room you have in there, also depends what size tyre but I think will scrub inside. I think Subaru wheels have a 54mm centre bore and Toyota have 60mm so if that's the case then no, I've thought about that fitment as well.

YOU WILL REGRET IT........

Been following this car all over the net for years, I'd keep it because to any one else it's JUST a Corolla so finding top dollar could be hard, just saying, that's if you need it but again without knowing your situation I say KEEP IT, I wish I listened to my own advice :( Congrats on the Aurion as well, excellent choice indeed ...

Greetings all and yes it's been way too long :( Our end of the month meet for July is actually Saturday August the 1st....

I'm hoping to make this for sure, so hopefully see you guys there, old faces and new ;)

NEXT MEET 1/8/15 .... See first post ....Thanks .... John ;)

Hey Alex they're all white/clear, that one pictured might have been tinted red or the only other replacement that I know of is from Valenti, also I think Garax make them.. The same light is used on other Toyota's but not sure which models exactly, some vans, hatches etc ....

The usual cosmetic mods, of course, hubcentric spacers for show, Grazio blue mirrors, engine cover and a few more things.

and a genuine TRD gear surround

Still have the Corolla after a couple of buyers screwed me over so I'm keeping it

Gas/oil rig workers? :P

Welcome back mate.

Haha nothing like that Trent, congrats on being a Mod too,thanks for the welcome :)

oh my john's back

Thanks man, you been gone a while too.

wonder how many sets hes got now.. :P

Just four Jeff

Greetings all and HOLY CRAP I can't believe I've been off for nearly 6 months, terrible Muriel ..... I see a fair few new members, a few new rides and new Moderators, nice :)

Been really slack with the meet thread too sorry. Few new mods to the car but nothing major, and yes wheels too. Still have the Corolla after a couple of buyers screwed me over so I'm keeping it, also my Son gets his L's in a couple of months and he wants it as his first car.. Updates soon and nice to be back.

Anybody want it ? $15000 as is with mods listed on pg 1

Feel free to PM any questions... Yes it's MINT :)

Excellent, thanks for that, looking forward to seeing your new rims, oh and more pics....:)

OK cool, I was going to get the foam insert but it says it's a replacement for the removal of full size spare, does it fit in the rim?

Congrats on the tasteful mods and super cleanliness of the car.. Very tidy..

Like you I have just picked up a spare wheel and in the process of ordering the raised rubber liner ,lock bolt/plate. Have you bought these too? Reasonably cheap but the other mat which sits under the rubber one is way too pricey. have you bought it or cut the original ? Or just haven't bothered?

OMG is that your wife or GF? ;)

Good that you mentioned the car, I probably wouldn't have noticed it :D

Haha no none of the above,thanks for noticing the car too ;)

You have such good taste in quality John, looks mint! :)

Thank you, much appreciated Mitchell.. See you in your thread shortly...

I just picked up a spare wheel as well,finally.

I don't believe that is your car, we need more pictures for proof...

Haha I see what you did there, I'd love to keep proving it but that's pretty much it, no less clothes in the others ;)

So now you are going to get another dash trim so that you can put this one into storage? :P. by the way I just picked up a gts so I may have questions for you later about some upgrades.

Welcome back stranger and congrats on the car. Yep another dash :D Whenever your ready, if I can help out I will for sure.

Coilovers installed a few weeks ago, pretty happy with them, extra 15mm drop and some front camber added..

Went to Festival of 86 again, and again a great day. Tetsuya Tada was back for it and scored another sig :)

Here's a pic of my car at the Fest

Latest pic of my car :D

Colours are all pretty close but unfortunately measurements are a little off. ZRE 182,152,and 172 are all different. Not sure how much difference between auto and manual though..

Thanks again for you help Jon

Nice car John! Been a while since I visited tocau, logged back in especially for you to say Hi!!

Thanks Vinh, and a big HI to you too.. Cheers

Looking good John :)

Ahh you GOLFers ..Thanks Cuong

Spotted this young fella last night

Nice pic Rob ;) my son spotted your pink nuts that night,looking good as ever. Think you were a couple of cars in front of me...

Rarely get on these days,busy busy busy but small update a lil later :) I think you'll like it :P

Good work Jon.

;) Yes very good work indeed..

Thanks Jon for doing that, I'll measure up this weekend. My 152 mats are a very close fit but I'm guessing the 182 will be better...

I've asked Toyota in the past about interchangeable parts and always get the same response, "NO they're only for the specified model"

Again, much appreciated...

Wow, didn't see that coming... Bravo on your efforts

Really? no one ... PM your address and I will send you one free tape measure

Saw a red one and a white one yesterday, yes I liked it :D

Apologies for not updating sooner but rarely have time to get on these days unfortunately, I'll be there tonight ....

Coilovers are here and install this week. Had my Work wheels centres painted grey, ugly so now they're silver and pretty happy with the colour.. New wheel nuts coming so new pics coming after next weekend........These are my new rims but just gathering dust(impulse buy)

Stockies and spacers :toast:
