Photos of my Corolla from New Zealand

Hi all,

I only recently noticed that we've got a 'Show & Share' section, so figured I may as well post some photos of my 1993 Corolla AE100. It's a Japanese import and the body has travelled 231,000km (143,000 miles), but I put a 60,000km (37,000 mile) engine in it back in December last year out of a wrecked 97' model.

I've owned it for just under 2-years so far, and for the time being the mods include:

* 40mm Jamex springs.
* Rolled rear guards.
* Optional strut brace.
* Monroe GT Reflex gas shocks.
* 17" alloy wheels with Hankook 205/40/17 tyres.
* Pod filter with with custom 3" CAI (cold air induction).
* Custom exhaust manifold and front pipe (4-2-1).
* Removed catalytic converter.
* Resurfaced front discs.
* Sony Xplod head-unit, Sony 6.5" 4-way front speakers (300w max, 75w RMS), and a Sony 444w amp.
* Sprinter GT front seats.
* Red valve cover.
* Chrome Simota oil cap (not shown in photos).

It's my daily driver so I haven't gone too crazy with the mods, but I hope to eventually do a 4A-GE 20v conversion sometime in the future. I've got sideskirts that will be getting fitted sometime this week. They're currently at the painters at the moment.

This is how it looks in its current state (most of the photos are HDR, but none of the car parts or backgrounds have been edited or altered in any way).

Comments welcome

Nice clean car!!! I should do the show and share some time in the future. The "NZ background" compliments the nobility of the car.

Awesome pics!

I studied at the University of Canterbury then lived on the South island in a town called Beaumont for a while. Beautiful country. I'd love to move there permanently and spend my days driving an old rhd FJ40.



btw, that is probably the cleanest gen7 Corolla I've ever seen.

Thanks for the comments guys, they are very much appreciated

I plan on taking more once the sideskirts are installed.

Feel free to check out the video I just posted of my old 5A-FE engine at full redline:

Update: Sideskirts fitted as of a few hours ago. Front and rear lips of the bumper should be painted next week sometime.
