Search for pics of Xenon's car. One of the nicest ae92's on here.

Um.. I am doing things like a custom hood scoop .. and I put my fog lights in my bumper.. literally drilled out the bumper and am installing them right in there.. I am doing the hood scoop because the way I have my throttle bodies setup.. will feed right in. Um.. I can't really name any "cheap" mods to the body itself..

xenon's is nice... but it'll never look like this (UNFINISHED, i hope that's obvious

)

I came up with the side light idea when I put my windshield leds on just radio shack leds wired to a resistor/ 12regulator I made, this will help if you want to do it $5 just drill a hole in the mirrors . http://www.theledlight.com/samplecircuits.html Some sr5 owners in my town I see have done the same. Looks cool when it shines on the road and there bright you can drive with them on alone. The blue light covers I painted with the paint I used for my air intake and valve cover, got it at Wal-Mart sticks and don’t chip for 6 mouths now

"sigh" way to rice up the 80hp

tsk tsk.. u only get 2" from a 110 too! That is like.. 90mph! Ahh the days when my 4AF was stock I got 115 in over-drive none the less.. But those shitty 4af days are over.

well it is my first car and it was a gift but I am drawling plans to turbo charge it I meant to put past not from all thou I was going down slope drifting with a eclipse but it could be faster

|PuNiSh3R| · 03-20-2004, 02:38 AM

Yea, get rid of the 4AF.. that'll make it faster.

well if you got an 89 i think and ive completed a Paint job because my corolla rusted pretty bad here is the before and after

with 173,XXX miles my gts 4age redtop wont go past 110 unless of course i come appon a hill ive heard for turbocharging good setups would be the 4agze(in english) its 160-170 Hp supercharged engine wich kinda makes it pointless to turbocharge when you got that hp allready but the engine allready has low compression pistons and all that good stuff a turbo likes another engine but not to sure would be the 20v 4age wich kinda explains itself 20 valve instead of 16 haha these engines also push pretty close to the same power.... one ofr these forums has a guy who turbo chraged his 4age 20v blacktop and it worked great for him i guess but thats getting into alot of money im just thinking of putting a 4agze or 20v in for now.

o and if you go 4age 16v like i have ive heard they can handle 4psi of boost all you people who think NOS is the answer DONT USE IT ON THE 4AG or GOOD BYE 4ag

ive heard of people blowing them up. never experienced it myself cuzz i like to keep my 4age for a bit longer
