Redwarf Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 You should reco the engine and do precisely NOTHING to it. You have one of the rearest 20's in this country, and if you modify it in any way I will personally hunt you down and rip you a new one. My 2c. :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 is that pic photochopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I don't think so. It would have been a private import (probably from somewhere like PNG), so the mirrors are on the front guards, and there is no ADR plate on the side opposite the chassis number. I've only ever seen 2 other examples in many years, and its the same with them, as well. although this one is by far the best example. 4 door 10s are common compared to these.........

Jono Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 no, i meant the ride height in the first pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfunkt Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 judging by the background, i don't think it's been photochopped lower...it'd just be the angle the pic was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hasnt been photoshoped, i had to lift the camera abit high as the sun was reflecting from the car into the lense. Does anyone know what the original size of the whitewall was for the corolla? Thanks for all the comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tally Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 wow that is so bloody nice its not funni!!!! Love it!!! don't mod it. Keep it OG!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm not sure on the whitewall size, but when I had mine done the guy who did them suggested 3/4 inch as he said that was most likely what Toyota would have used back then, so I went with him. I'm more of a fan of twins now, new 20 will be copping a set of twin whitewalls fo sho. Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the original tyres cross ply? would love some original tyres on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfunkt Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 yes, the orig whitewalls were cross-ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
