Hi all. I've been roaming around on this forum for quite a while now. I thought it's time to post seeing as there's quite a few AE112s about and I have a soft spot for KEs too :). I've just copied and pasted my ride from TOCAU below as then it's easier to update later for those interested :yes:

 

Well I picked this Corolla up with 85,860Ks on the clock for 11k. Cleanest interior and seats that have hardly been sat on (minus driver's seat LOL)! I chose the sedan because it is different and handles better than the liftback in my opinion. I was also influenced by this Hong Kong AE110 Sedan.

 

Just bought from the car yard...

 

Then modding stopped for long while...

how it used to sit in the rear with 17s :)

I like the 17's and the boot install. Why'd you take them off?

Concise answer: weight reduction :no2:

 

2 17s were destroyed in an accident and I needed replacements quick. Plus the 17s were way too heavy causing lose of power at treads, and also I like styling on some Honda Civics, so I applied that :yes: I also got a mortgage now so I'm careful about where I'm spending my money. Yet at the end of the day I'll probably end up finding more things to do to the rolla instead :)

 

Thanks for the comment :yes:

I quite like what you've done with it. Must ride and handle a fair bit better with that rim/tyre combo.
