Moe's Ae92 Daily

Had the car nearly 5 years and it wasn't 'till this year when the cv's needed replacing that I bothered to do anything with it.

Replaced the green/blue/gray(what colour is it!?) original dash top with a black one from a POS seca I bought for the factory alloys 'cause there was five of them.

Changed the gauge faces and added a clock.

 

The rear window wiper wasn't working so I shaved the back.

 

I've tried a couple of different front bumpers, still not quite happy yet...

 

In the near future I'll put in a 7AFE bottom end bored out a bit with a new exhaust, shave the vents on the c pillar and lower it a bit.

Eventually I'll have to do better than a "20 ft paintjob" ...

Have added a chuckleworthy cold air intake

 

throttle response and fuel economy have both improved. ;)

lol, nice!

I remember when my friends and I had paddock bashers we would always cut a hole in the bonnet and run a vacuum cleaner pipe from outside the bonnet into the air filter. One time we even mounted a petrol engined leaf blower that fed air straight into the engine, that was a great day.

[Moetunes]

That's actually the piping from the efi air filter box to the resonator from the POS seca I bought. It had one end that was the right shape to fit the air filter intake so ...

Have taken 45mm out of the middle of the shifter.

Seemed a bit too short at first but I'm used to it now. It's a little bit notchy changing gears but that's ok.

Are you planning on changing the suspension in this car?

[Moetunes]

I've already gone through the suspension and made sure the stock parts are all ok.

I've been driving this car for ages now so I want to make changes one step at a time and see what actually makes a diference.

This week or next, depending on when I get free time at work, I am making top and bottom strut braces to see what benefit there is to them for the hatch. I can feel that the body roll starts from the back end when I speed up for corners so that's what I am concentrating on first. Then I'll check out what benefit superpro bushes bring and if more is needed then I'll make a larger diameter sway bar.

I drive on some god awful roads on my daily commute so I don't want firmer springs. There's a spring works I pass on my commute so I was going to see them about resetting the stock springs so the hatch sits 30mm lower.

I'm in no rush. Plan to have the car for a while, at least 'till the new cv's wear out ;)

Old boring job ended last week so making stuff will be a little bit slower now...

I'll have to actually pay for steel !

nice car man, at the moment ive got the seca version. I replaced the headunit with something more respectable and now the clock is gone, where did you buy the replacement clock panel from? Cause i don't want to have to buy a whole new dash from a sx model.

The clock was in a busted arse seca I bought for some parts. I've seen a few corollas with clocks at the wreckers. The clocks can be seperated from the dash and bought afaik.

ok mate ill have a look at the wreckers :) thanks for the reply
