My 96 Sunfire Red? DX

Subject: My 96 Sunfire Red? DX Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:36 pm

Hello everyone, I just picked up my own 5-Speed 1.8L about a week ago, and with inspiration from you all, I created a vision for my "tacorolla". It was babied and bone stock when I got it. I have already changed the grill and wheels + tires.

Wheels are 15x8 +25 with 195 50 15's

I plan on:

-rolling the fenders and getting a 1.5 or 2" drop with springs (which should I do?)
-replacing the headlights
-adding a roof rack (yes I will actually use it for my road bikes)
-changing the shift knob+boot

Hey Tacorolla!
Could you give me the Partnumber of your Headlights and Corner Lights with the Sidemarkers? Hard to get them here in Europa and I think about ordering 'em by my Toyota Dealer.
I actually have the Depo Black Head- and Cornerlights on my wagon but want to go back to OEM (or bether, USDM..).
Would love that "US" Setup as on your saloon - great car!

Or it would be the best, if you could tell me your complete vehicle ident number (VIN), so I could look for most of the original USDM parts!

Welcome! You should get Tein S-Tech springs from the 98-02 Corolla, they are the best springs available.

Thanks for the advice I will definitely will buy those. Well I already bought the megan kit (not installed) but I will definitely sell them. I like how the S-Tech kit drops the front alittle more than the back.

Exactly! I've had them, and people have used them for so many years. You can't go wrong with them.
