Hey guys!!!!! I just wanted to show you some pics of my new ride!!!! Its a 2000 JDM spec Corolla XE Limited saloon with a 1.5L 5AFE engine and a 4spd auto tranny. Its got ABS, airbags, power windows, central locking, radio cassette cd and a cloth interior. Its really nice, a step up from my 89 wagon for sure

Ive had it for about 3 weeks now and Im loving it. Anyway, here are the pics...

hey.. you got all the stuff on the wrong side.. I thought Jamaican cars were left-hand drive??

Steering wheel is the same as a gen 4 Camry!

Nice car... what are the HP and torque for the 5A-FE?

Thanks guys!!! Flashmn, Im not even going to think about touching that engine right now......REN69, alot of cars here ARE LHD because we Jamaicans buy alot of our cars in the States and ship them here. However, we drive on the left. Most vehicles in this country are Right Hand Drive tho. My old wagon was LHD as it was imported from Miami. It doesnt matter to me what side the wheel is on ,Im comfortable with both.About the hp and torque figures....i think the 5AFE puts out about 100hp at the crank, not sure about at the wheels and I dont know the torque figure. Was hoping someone on here would know....

Oh!! I intend to buy some springs to help with the handling...Im guessing Eibach's Pro Kit should do the trick???? And also, a brake conversion. Im gonna change the rear drums to disc. I did that on my old wagon with excellent results. My concern however is the ABS. I guess Ill just have to find the back end from a Levin that has ABS.....
