Hey James, great to see you on here . You've heard me say this a thousand times, but your car is absolutely wicked mate. From the colour and simplicity, right down to the authentic and rare JDM parts and optional extras. By the way, I've been meaning to tell you that I sent one of those grilles to the US the other week because a guy emailed me with a pic of your car and said "I want mine to look like that!" . Keep up the great work man, and post as many pics as you can - I never get sick of seeing them

thank you very much Scott... very much appreciated... likewise yours has all the rare parts that others including me can dream of

Hi Sir, it's good to meet you here.

Always loved to see your car and all its rare parts!

So great to see this Euro conversion.. while we here in europe all want the JDM style!
Maybe we have to open a 1-on-1 trade topic for parts..

^^

great idea ...

Air filtration/fragrance systems

Toyota Corolla buyers could also add one of two different styles of electronic air cleanser/fresheners. These came in the form of either a standalone roof mounted filter and interior light unit or an integrated device known as an "Air Fantasy" that was mounted in the centre console beneath the audio head-unit. The roof unit took air in through a vent at the front and ran it out through a filter at the back. The Air Fantasy system was connected to the vehicle's own air-conditioning system and would pump small bursts of scented air (from one of three replaceable scent packs) either automatically or on demand through the air vents. Although the roof unit is relatively common for an optional extra, the Air Fantasy is especially rare. - WIKI

Thanks for viewing

wow some awesome bits you got there... i want those map lights and arm rest and Backboard Air Purifier...

were the map lights plug and play?

very nice mate, thats one clean corolla

Very nice sir. I really want one of those E10 instrument clusters. The only downside is that they only came on LHD models so it won't fit mine, but if I just remove the actual gauge faces/mechanisms and swap them into my RHD cluster it should work perfectly. I prefer that look to the BZ Touring cluster. Might have to try and find one.

Your rear mounted Air Purifier is looking good. I used mine again yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks. Got a replacement filter on it's way from Japan, which a buddy of mine was able to track down. The one in there now is relatively clean, but I don't know if I'll ever find another one so figured I might as well get it now. Let me know if you need one and I'll find out if he has any more

Speaking of the Air Purifier, I found another one the other day in the back of an AE101 Levin GT Apex. Has the exact same blower unit and grille as ours, except on the switch it didn't have an 'AUTO' option. Just 'HI', 'LO' and 'OFF'. Not that it matters since the auto option never gets used anyway (at least not by me). Thinking about getting the blower unit as a spare for my one considering that they're so damn rare. Either that or I'll sell it to Ishaq as I see he wants one

one of my absolute favourite corolla's trom TR3.tk
car is still looking very well, I much preferred the sparco's on it to the new wheels though

Awesome! I'm definitely going to have to contact you in the near future

Very easy to fit. The outline for the Air Purifier grille is already stamped into the bottom of your rear parcel shelf, so you just have to cut around the outline and then put the screws where the little + signs are. As for the wiring, on mine I already had a plug sitting there right next to the interior fusebox, so it was simply a case of plug-and-play. Yours will probably have the same plug, but if not there's only two wires to hook up - Power and ground. Toyota made things very easy so that the staff installing them didn't have to waste time measuring etc as they would have been installed off the assembly line due to them being an optional extra.

I actually just got home from buying it . Was thinking about keeping it as a spare since I very rarely see them, but will be willing to let it go for the right price . I'll take some photos after lunch (12:51pm midday here on Saturday).
