Help doing up 1990 sedan. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys. I'm new to posting but have been checking out the site for awhile.

I was given a 1990 Sedan FWD with 87K (<--!!) and would like to do it up alittle since I live in a Civic Nation and would like to drive something a little different. I've already bought rims that wouldn't fit because of the deep offset (they were off a 86 Celica). Anyone know another car that shares this offset so I can try to find rims on the cheap? Any other suggestions to make it look like less of an old lady car?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well what kinda wheel style are you looking for? Also, post some pics. :P

You would need 4x100 bolt size wheels with a 38-43mm offset

88-90 Corolla GTS rims will fit and will look nice on that car, Also 95-99 Paseo and Tercel Sport rims will also fit nicely on it. 98-02 Corolla S rims will also fit. and last but not least 03-05 Echo Hatch rims will also fit. These are practically your only options if you want to with a cheaper OEM replacement.

Things pimpin, I agree

***REN69*** · 09-29-2005, 09:49 AM

That thing is so flip-tastic!

what are those?? Tom's??

newtestleper@ho · 09-29-2005, 12:27 PM

That is pretty cool micro214_kp61

! I would love to get my ae92 sedan all done up like that.

REN69, thanks for the offset info! I guess I won't be getting OEM rims since most of the cars you mention are kind of uncommon here. Anyone know a cheap discount rim/tire place online? I checked out discountwheels.com, but most of the places on there wouldn't ship here

.

And miss_biss, I'll post some pix when I get a chance, but its really nothing to see!

Keep the info and suggestions coming!

hmm.. I might be running into another AE92 GTS for parts, it comes with the OEM rims on it, so if I do buy it, that would make it 3 sets of OEM GTS rims for me. I might part out with one set for cheap and you would probably have to pay for shipping and that's it. I'll let you know. You would probably have to get new tires though as the ones on the rims are too big (previous owner had the wrong size)

This is what they look like.

I would be most interested in the gts rims if you get them! Are they 14" or 15"? What city are you in, just so I get an idea what shipping would be?

hey ren......

do i think that GTS trunk would fit my sr5.i think they are identical...but my trunk is dented and i want a spoiler......and were is this car ......?.....i would buy that trunk lid if its not rusted or dented...for a reasonable price..... also i need a pasenger running light.........the corner one..mines smashed...could we deal?....both preffered...but not mandatory......thanks man

peace

***REN69*** · 09-30-2005, 02:48 AM

yeah.. any GTS trunk would fit an SR5.. they're basically the same car, except the GTS has more candy to it.

miss_biss.. tell Kyle I might keep the skirts.. they're red.

BTW the car is in Ontario, and the trunklid is also one of the things I would keep.

There is now a leak that I can't can't seem to find. After it rains, the passager side floor is soaked (I mean a freaking puddle!). I pulled the drain plug but I can't seem to find this water problem. I checked around the doors and windshield for a leak with a hose but no water was getting in. I also removed the vent between the hood and the windshield, but no obviously leak or rot could be seen. Also, only the floor is wet, the dash and seat, etc are bone dry. Anyone else have this problem with a AE92 sedan? Any insite or suggestions would be great.

And REN69, still super interested in those gts rims when/if you get them. Just let me know how much!

Do you use the heater or AC? either its coming from either of those or outside.

newtestleper@ho · 10-02-2005, 12:11 PM

Car doesn't have AC and she leaks when she's been sitting. I'm pretty should it's coming from the outside, but I have no idea where.

BTW Flashmn, if that's your car in your sig, she's pretty sweet!
