Looks great you two! I always love your pics Halo and I'm definitely loving the new stance you've got there B.... the car has come a long way :)
Thanks gold.
I know this car has come a long way.
I love how it turned out and I'm glad I didn't buy a different car :)

Oil pan isn't much of a worry since it sits so high, most of the time you'll probably scrape under the control arm and the transmission sometimes. You could make a skid plate and cover all of that. Besides that it's just exhaust and frame. After a while you'll get used to driving it though and you'll know what to do. Don't you go raising it up now man!! ;)

Wheel and tires are 15x8 +19mm offset with 195/45 Toyo t1r

I used to have to take my bumper off for alignments but now I just go to a lowered car friendly place. And yeah street sweepin' is pretty fun lol
I can't find a low low rack here in tampa to save my life...

I had to eyeball my frontend and measure as good as I could...

btw Bstylz looking good...

I was rushing to get my bumper assembled a few months ago, and I accidentally overtightened my turn signal screw. Cracked the outer lens. Thought nothing of it, since it was invisible. But it rained a few days ago, and my turn signal finally succumbed :(



Also stopped by the dealership to ask for part numbers. Bad shot, but my 1996 next to a 2014 Corolla S



Also, something silly I took a video of the tach needle bouncing while the emergency lights are blinking. Happens on both my Corolla and father's Miata.

Those will be pretty hard if not impossible to find at local dealers. I would just open them up, clean out the insides and reseal them with some RTV clear silicone.

All in stock according to at least one online dealer. Here are parts numbers too. http://www.toyotapartszone.com/Page...ountry=(8=USA)&sectionID=4&componentsID=81-03

Oh, I was looking for part numbers for some stuff for the gauges, not the turn signals. I know they're pretty much impossible to get in the US because our dealers can't order JDM parts. Sealing them is impossible without making them look hideous, as the cracks are around the bolt hole and my RTV sealant is black. Maybe could get a transparent one.

But will they fit an FX-GT front bumper?
The video, that's normal due to the load from the signals. Put in LEDs!!

Oh I know. I just decided to take a video when it was more apparent, usually it's a bit more minor. I like it.

I honestly don't know how to get LEDs to work without rapid blinking. I know you have to wire in a resistor, but I'm not sure if it's worth modifying stock wiring to me.
You just need to replace the flasher unit with one for LEDs, it's pretty easy. (that's what I did)

I also remember, that before I went LEDs in the tail lights, when they'd come on, the interior lights would dim lol.

Oh that is easy. Do you mind linking me to one if it's not too hard? I can't find anything for the 96 Corolla on eBay (all listings show them as incompatible with it). Also, where does it go? Fuse box?
Lucky you, I actually have my old Corolla flasher here with me still (junked the car with the LED flasher installed still lol).

It is a 3-pin flasher, so the pins are in a triangle shape. The pins are marked L on top, E on the left, and B on the right. Normally, the E and B are switched on the LED relays, so you actually have to reverse the polarity.

You can use this relay, and if you go down the page, you'll see the diagram where it shows to reverse the polarity

I did this by adding my own extension wires to the pins and just inserting them manually so that the flasher just hung up there.

On my first LED relay, I was actually able to take it apart and resolder the insides so that it plugged in.

The flasher relay is located up under the dash, accessed from the driver's kick panel. Go under there and look up, way up... have the flashers on so you can find the source of the clicking.

Awesome, thanks so much! But couldn't you just buy a CF14? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Pin-CF14-...-fix-LED-Hyper-Flash-Fast-Blink-/160749098144
um yeah that would be a lot easier lol ... I don't think they had those back in my day
I appreciate your help buddy :) didn't know turn signals were so easy to convert to LEDs.

I got my first car a few weeks ago, the same as my parents:
1994 Toyota Corolla DX

All modifications done to the car were done by the previous owner, not me

Here is a picture of the car next to my parent's old Corolla, which they have sold





The paint color was supposed to be that of the Scion TC, "concrete," but it came out too dark

The front bumper has new headlights and a painted logo



The rear bumper has the Toyota and DX logos removed, and apparently has a JDM style rear fascia

Also the Toyota logo has been plastidipped, or something...



Side picture. The car has been lowered, I don't know how low or if it really has been



The rims are OZ Racing Superleggeras; I'm looking for the center caps



Although it is hard to see, the car has Tokico Blue Struts, which do nothing to dampen bumps



The car is a 5-speed manual



The car also has an alarm system installed, and has this remote key thing



I'm very happy with my new car. and it certainly is fun driving around
I hope to improve upon it; I'm looking to possibly putting a JDM bumper in the front and a spoiler in the back

Dude, nice find! I have seen that Corolla before, a while ago.

PlastiDip is a rubber coating, like paint but removable. You can peel it off if you'd like. Leaves the original finish untouched.

It looks like a 2 inch drop or so. Beautiful rims, if I may add.
