Help On AE111 Modifications

[N3IL53N]

well, that's what I really want to do. 15" mags, 50 series tires, then soud-set-up just like my old liteace (if anyone remembers) na up to now is still a head turner whenever I use it du to it's sound system :D. just had the time to remove the orange cap sa rear signal light today, some minor cuts and scratches inflicted sa hands ko pero it's worth it when I removed it and changed the bulbs to bluish white. at least terno na front and rear signal lights ko na bluish white....:D

you might want to use 55 series tires instead of 50 series tires to ease the rough ride.

btw, have you lowered your corolla AE111?

unfortunately I haven't done that yet. A friend of mine lowered his AE111 by compressing his springs both front and back. Dropped by almost 2 to 3 inches, sad to say that the performance of his suspension went bad. so I had second thoughts on lowering my car.

N3IL53N anong klase na bluish white bulb ang binibili mo? Naghahanap kase kapit bahay ko ng bluish white na bulb..
Thanks..

never compress or cut your stock springs.

The corolla AE111 & AE101 share the same spring type so its not hard to find lowering springs for your corolla. You can see the examples of other AE111 that have been lowered above. Results are pretty good.

Hybrid ang brand niya, bluish white single contact bulbs. I had to replace the terminals in front though kasi yung stock terminal ng toyota eh may daya. Pero yung sa rear, I had to do some tedious work in removing the orange plastic that makes the rear signal light emmit an orange light, pero the bulb is also of the same brand yun nga lang, peanut bulb siya for the rear unlike sa front.

what brands of lowering springs can you recommend me? yung affordable and at the same time convenient.....:D

[ghosthunter]

I got my springs years ago. I doubt if you could find the same brand (sparco) springs for your car today. I heard H&R is pretty good. I know eibach is good (but hard to find).

another question.....is it advisable for me to have my bumper painted with a flat-black paint on the top portion? I plan to have it painted this coming friday.....my AE111's color is pearl white / color 040 as indicated in the car. thanks in advance again.....:D

[ssaloon]

if you're going for the euro look, pwede! pero have the same done to your rear bumper too ;)

[ghosthunter]

pwede... one way to see how your car will look like is to take digital picture of your car and have your bumpers colored the way you imagined it.

[N3IL53N]

I plan to paint my front and rear bumpers that way, would cost me a reasonable amount pero it's worth it. I have seen the same car as mine with it's bumpers euro-dressed. yun nga lang, hindi flat-black ang ginamit niya kaya medyo pangit.

[ghosthunter]

good luck with your project

[QUOTE=carlocaraddict]ghosthunter is right, you have to change the fenders, hood, bumpers etc, plus of course your paint job pa. I once saw a complete conversion in a Banawe store. If am not mistaken, you can also order those parts sa toyota mismo. I also drive a AE111 same as yours. I admit gusto ko rin ng euro facia kasi yung likod, euro lights na. You can invest sa rims nalang and some body kits though. Pwede rin lagyan mo ng fog light yung slot sa may rear garnish. Hmmm, pwede ka rin maghanap ng Toyota Sprinter na mags for your car (dami kong suggestions hehehehe). Or why not invest for a JDM grill like this:


yung likod papalitan mo rin ng ganito pag mag-JDM ka:

[carlocaraddict]

Paltik, meron ba ganyan sa BAnawe? wala pa akong nakikitang rear styling na ganyan. Kung meron man, mukhang madaming parts ang papalitan mo. Yung sa may lights pa lang, medyo iba na.
