Corolla Station Wagon Rebirth

[Kevin McDonald]

Hi all,

This is my 1st post... :)

This is 1st Session of retouching the car that used to be an ordinary family station wagon car.

Enjoy!

p.s. Still need some works to do for Session 2... but catch up later...

Hi mate, that is some nice work, although I would go for bigger wheels and lower it! Wind deflectors aren't my cup of tea but hey.

Or are they your next plans?

Have you got any engine mods yet?

Thanks, mate...

I also would like to put 16" or 17". But I have to mod more than this if I did it.

And after consulting here and there, I decided to put Yokohama Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07 195/50/15 in my car and made no adjustment on fender, suspension, etc... :)

Perhaps it will be done in next session.

Engine mod also crossed my mind a few months ago.

But for daily use, this nice old car is quite enough for me...

(reach max 100 mph occasionally in small roads and

from 0 to 60 mph in 11-12 seconds).

May be in next "session"...

lol ok sounds good.

But I'd advise you to alter your last bit about speeding on the streets, it is not tolerated here on TOC. Just some friendly advice. ;)

Yeh you'd need to get a speed converter for you speedometer otherwise it will give a false reading, but I reckon that it would be worth it one this.

The advice noted... :)

Speed converter? I'll think about it. Thanks...

But FYI the current difference is only 0.88% from the original/factory/stock size (185/65/13)...

Guess not much use for daily use, right?

And even I want to use it, I hardly hear it's available on store everywhere in my little metropolis... :D

ok at least you know about it! :D

Oh yes, regarding lowering the car (GC) u mentioned above, I think I'll never do it.

Because just with this current GC produced automatically by the bodykit (especially by the front bumper),

it has quite trouble me in some cases (comparing to my old GC before doing re-mod). :(

i.e. I have to remake my carport steepness which doesn't matter with old GC...

and many housing/real estate in my city uses humps... and some are taller/extreme than usual.

Can ground cars with small GC instantly... LOL :D

Excuse me for late response in this matter...

Btw, I'm still open for any suggestions... Thanks in advance...
