I fitted some new wheels yesterday. They're 16x8, 15p offset, 3" chrome lip with gunmetal spokes, slight stretch with 195/45 tires and sit flush as f*ck with the aid of some front and rear camber adjustment. Loving the new look :)

Thanks a lot guys! Makes me wonder why I hadn't done something like this sooner! Haha.

 

I went for a bit of a photoshoot a few hours ago. Been really enjoying these wheels since I got them a couple of days ago so thought I'd take some decent photos:

Thanks! :)

 

 

My latest addition are these sweet looking velocity stack stickers I got sent over from Australia. I find they give the car a little bit more character and are a subtle way of indicating what's under the hood:

A few small updates from the past few days:

 

* I had the timing belt, water pump + rear hose, VVT pulley, tensioner, idler pulley and both drive belts replaced on Friday. The timing belt had been done in the past but when I got the engine there was nothing more than a faint outline of where the sticker used to be on the cam cover, so rather than lose sleep at night I decided to get it replaced and did the VVT pulley at the same time (no more rattly diesel noise at idle!). It was a pretty pricey exercise but for the peace of mind alone it was definitely worth it.

 

* On Friday I fitted some 'TWINCAM 20' stickers that arrived from Australia. After putting them on I immediately regretted not putting them up a little bit higher, so being as fussy as I am, I ordered some more and will have another crack at it once they arrive. All in all I definitely like the look though.

 

* Last but not least, today I installed a Pivot Speed Meter. This little device gets hooked up to the ECU's speed signal to remove the factory speed limiter and digitally displays your current speed, with the ability to measure the G-force under acceleration/deceleration and your 1/4 mile time.

This is prob one the best looking Corolla's world wide. I keep checking this thread for updates. It never leaves me hanging that's for sure. I applaud the work you have put into this,

Thanks a lot mate. It's one thing to build this car to a standard that I'm happy with, but it's another thing to hear that others can appreciate the time and effort that has gone into it aswell, so I'd like to thank you for your comment as it does mean a lot. This build has been difference since day 1, and the continued support from guys like you is invaluable :happy:

I took advantage of the public holiday here and the overcast weather and went out to take some more photos:
