Australia Greetings - I come from a land down under

Well, after running out of Australian Toyota forums to join, I decided to stretch my wings and search abroad. You guys seemed to love the 7th Gen Corollas, so I thought here would be a good place to settle (not that I'm abandoning the motherland, though).

Anyway, my name is Ian, but everywhere on the net I go by Hiro (the character from Snow Crash, not Heroes), and these are my cars:

1) - The one I actually drive - '97 AE102 Conquest sedan



2) - The one my fiance drives and I fix - '88 ST162 Celica SX liftback



And these are the ones which have met their maker

3) The fiance's former daily - '86 AE82 Twincam Seca



4) The fiance's former former daily - '81 KE55 SE sedan



Note: No we don't ride kangaroos down the street, and no, I can't stand the taste of vegemite.

Welcome stranger!! . Good to see you on here! Before I even clicked into this thread I knew that username looked familiar! . The Corolla is looking as good as ever. Still can't wait to see your FX-GT bumper fitted . I look forward to seeing you in the 7th Gen Corolla forum. The layout here is quite different to the TOC forums, so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Yeah I've gone through the 7th Gen photos thread a few times in the past looking for inspiration etc, figured I might as well make the last visit permanent

Welcome to TN!

We're glad to have you join us.

Please enjoy your stay.

P.S. I hate Vegemite.... my friend brought some back from Austrailia and it was soooo salty!

Just thought I should add in here (since the Soarer/Lexus section is deader than a zombie without a head) that the following has now replaced the ST162









Specs:
'95 JZZ30 Soarer
1JZGTE twin-turbo
Factory R154 5-speed manual
APEXi Power FC + Commander aftermarket replacement ECU, tuned for 205kw (275HP) at the wheels
235/275 Toyo semi-slicks
Full exhaust
15k worth of stereo
