 My 1993 Corolla from New Zealand Reply  Edit


Hey guys,

Here's some photos of my 1993 Toyota Corolla SE Limited (5-speed AE100). It's a Japanese model, so came with power windows, power folding mirrors, central locking, wind/rain deflectors, colour coded bumper/door handles/mirrors/side strips/mudflaps, air conditioning with climate air and push-button controls, tachometer, boot garnish, plum interior etc.

It took me a while to find an SE Limited model in 5-speed, and it was completely standard when I bought it, but I've owned it for 3-years so far and have done some modifications since then.

This first post will remain updated with all of the current modifications and photos. Photos of how the car looked originally/previously can be found on my CarDomain page.

New wheels now fitted. Top 3 photos are the latest.

* 17" Sport Max 962 alloy wheels.
* Rolled rear fenders.
* Rear bumper lip painted.
* 'SE Limited' and 'Toyota' badges removed.

Interior:
* Toyota Corolla AE101 GT seats + folding rear seat conversion.
* Reupholstered door cards with OEM Corolla GT fabric.
* AE101 FX-GT SuperStrut Momo leather steering wheel.

Brakes/Suspension:
* Lowered on Jamex springs.
* TRD 3-point strut brace.
* Monroe GT Reflex gas shocks.
* Resurfaced front disc brakes.
* Bendix brake pads.

Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback.

Here's some shots that I took today. I decided to return to a couple of my favourite photo locations today as I haven't been back since installing my new wheels and window tint:

Thanks . I use a Simota pod filter.

Here's some latest photos. I installed an OEM optional extra electric driver's seat rail and a pair of rear 6.5" speakers in the weekend:


Bought another electric driver's seat from the junkyard yesterday (out of another SE-G model). The motors in this one seem to be a lot stronger than my current one, so I suspect it hasn't been used much. I'm planning on just swapping over the rails and chucking out the seat. I'll keep the other electric rail for spare parts.

Also bought some other parts at the same time:

Been a while since I updated this page. The car is now rocking an FX-GT front bumper with custom fitted lip and even more optional extras.

I installed a rare OEM Toyota Caldina rear lip in the weekend. The fitment wasn't 100% perfect since the lip is off a completely different model, which happens to be a wagon, but was nothing that a heat gun, a lot of patience and some urethane couldn't fix :). Got my muffler slightly moved over today because it was touching against the left hand side of the lip. Here's some photos I just took within the last hour:
