What's this!? Aaron's 93 Corolla Build Thread

Fair enough haha. The universal ricer/racer vehicle here is a Civic

And yeah no kidding haha, would be much better.

I was thinking about one solid colour but I'm still not sure I could easily still just tape it off and make the lip noticeable haha.

Painting the lip red will make it most notable.

Alrightttttttt, got the rims. Car still isn't running though :L *unimpressed*

Pics soon.

Gorilla lug nuts

Woahhh did you paint those nuts? So nice!

Sweet! The wheels look better than I thought they would. Congrats! Time to lower it!

wheels look very nice aaron, you going to lower the car now?

any plans of painting them a different colour?

also did you manage to find out why it wont start?

NICE! those look so nice on your car. i would just leave the rims the colour they are now. It somehow reminds me of my corolla but red lol. Those rims look similar to mine kind of (except theyre 10 spoke and have no center caps).

@Kenny, I bought them like that from the dealer.

@Chris, Thanks man! and yes, soon hopefully.

@Ishaq, Thanks and haha soon enough hopefully. I'm gonna leave them the way they are for now, and maybe do them Bronze in the future.

Also yeah, I got 'er towed to my mechanic and he said some wires leading out of the fuse box had I guess caught on fire or something and he just had to solder the three back together and re-wrap it, he then checked all the other wiring after and started it up and it was fine. I don't think that coulda happened with my just sticking a fuse tap onto a fuse and using wires attached to that, but I don't really have any other explanation haha.

@David, Thanks hahah, yeah I put them on there and went to take a picture, and said to myself that it reminds me of your car, just red.

I agree, don't paint the rims!

nice to hear its alive again.. i dont agree i think that they need to painted

gold or white

also on another note, i came across this on FB

Aaah nice. That grille is my favouriteeeee haha.

Really.... I never liked that one because it just sticks off so much... I like the flush look, like it's meant to be there lol.

I dunno I think that's why I like the grill, because it sticks out. Also because it's mesh. When I first saw Kenny's new look, I saw the grill and had a little girl fit at how awesome it looked. The BZ is also my favourite JDM bumper

RIMS LOOKING GOOD

YEAAHHH BABBYYY! UP TOP! lol I could use a BZ buddy. Get's kinda lonely with everyone now jumping on the FX wagon.

I love the way this grill looks compared to the others. The way it protrudes makes it look like it's meant to suck in more air.. kinda reminds me of a velocity stack. Looks perfect on the BZ bumper and it's much more sporty/beastly compared to the chromed ones.

Hmm, I never noticed anything weird looking about your grille Kenny. I think perhaps the grille in that pic up there is not genuine, and it looks like it's paired with USDM head lights anyway. I like Kenny's grille. And don't worry bro, I've always liked that bumper over the FX, I honestly never understood what the FX hype was about, but that's OK

i like the bz grille and bumper too. but so rare to get here.. thats the reason im going fx

^Which is understandable. The FX still does look awesome too.

Little update:

Got my quickstruts for both rear sides sitting beside my bed here. Getting ready to put them in whenever the rain stops. They are Monroes.



Am looking at going for Megan or Tein lowering springs once I get some decent cash. I also bought a brand-new glasspack muffler for $20 from a friend, just trying to help him out. I think I might try it out, but I might just go for something a little less ricey sounding.

I have some aftermarket (not specifically for our cars) fog lights that I've got sitting ready to install.



I've also ordered the two pipes, bypass filter and air filter for a custom CAI. Just gotta order the couplers.

Looks like you guys had fun lol....Great to hear your suspension feels better now. I desperately need to replace mine lol. Are those Monroe quickstruts? Looks like its sitting at stock height.

Though I must say those rims are looking absolutely spectacular!

Haha down the road behind our cars, there is a field a kilometer long that is basically just a field of composed mud, dirt, sand, some random huge boulders and water with trails running everywhere, it's awesome.

And yeah it definitely feels better, they are indeed Monroe's, I had them put in Thursday so they've pretty well settled now too, they are around stock height and it's definitely a lot better than it used to be. Thanks for the compliments bro

that does look like alot of fun aaron

Daaang Aaron! You definitely picked the right wheels for your car.. and at such a low price too! It's amazing how much of a difference a new set of wheels can make. Awesome job man

You really DO like dirt roads lol! I don't suppose I can convince you to lower the car...
