what i did with my stock front bumper...

what i did with my stock front bumper...

instead of doing a USDM, JDM, spinter or fx conversion, this is what i've done with my stock 97 bumper...

front...


another angle...


note: i haven't put the bumper lights and the grille when i took the pic...

i can see your radiator fan..

and who would want a USDM front bumper? ewww

well, the fan is obvious hihihihi... people here in the philippines would go for USDM bumper since there never were extended bumps here in ther first place...

now you get better air effiency for your radiator.

^ exactly bro, its kinda funny because my engine is a 4age NA, hihihihi... was thinking of putting a dummy intercooler, hihihihi... or a turbo kit so i could install an IC... but no more moolah since i've purchased an installed the new engine...

I think it will looks even better if you can find some thicker chicken wires and paint them gunmetal.

i'll send u my front bumper if u send me a one from over there, lol

bumpers that are exteded out a little bit. look closely at the picture. it is about an inch and a half or 2 shorter from the front than what we have here in the US. even the rear bumpers are shorter too. i just found that out last year when i went back home in the Philippines.

papa sting, you changed your engine already? hayuf pre! ganda na oto mo ah! mang_temi ang handle ko po sa GT. peace!

mang temi, musta na paps? namfotah, dili nila ata gusto ginawa ko, hihihihi... ok lang, masaya naman ako...

my bumps looks like mad max's own ride, hihihihi...

rolla95, your stock bumper is nice, i like usdm bumpers (extended bumper)...

over here at asia, we have shorter bumpers...

lol I just recently found out the differences on bumpers too cause i'm back here in the philippines in laoag and I see bumpers like jspex's over here

welcome back to the philippines bro... while you're here, maghanap ka ng maghanap ng mga rare jdm parts...

oo nga! might as well buy the corner lights and headlights while you are there, jdm style enjoy your stay there man!

paps sting, oki yung ginawa mo sa bumper mo ah! me like!!! ayos lang kung ayaw nila, basta trip mo ok lang!

^ tol, pinost ko na sa GT yan, they liked it, kulang nalang daw FMIC, hihihihi, but then again, my ride is NA only... stock mode yung ST ko, kulang sa tono... buhuhuhuhuhu...

sayang man bro. Hindi pa ako maka maka hanup or parts kay ang motor ko is still messed up. Im gonna have to do the 4age swap first. I'm coming back in march again so its good. Na ka punta ako sa Manila. Ang lahat sa corolla dito. Sorry I'm from cebu so not that good at tagalog lol.

is all good bro! kabalo man ako kahit konti ng cebuano. hehehehhe. where are you gonna get your 4age from? from Phil or here in the US? eneway, hope you are having a blast over there in the Phil. ingat tol!

mas gusto ko nga yung NA lang pre. pero mas malupit kung may turbo o supercharger just update us when you get that silvertop running in great condition pre! ingat!

konting tono na lang fafa temi... malapit na to tol...

fastrolla, mas marami kaya pier dyan sa cebu, mas makakakita ka ng sariwang silvertop...

in engrish...

there are more piers there in cebu compared to manila and i think you could find alot of good 4age engines there but i suggest if you're sporting the big body as they call it here or ae101, go for the silvertop since its a direct bolt on...

eto pala dati kong kong engine... miss ko na nga eh...


eto na siya ngayon, pero swangit parin, hihihihi...

is that a ae111 strut bar? or is that a gts strut bar? just wondering because i want one for my 8th gen

i really dunno, but i know it came from a levin in japan... there are only kinds of 3pt strut bar that i know of (not really sure), one like this in the pic and another which doesn't have that extra mount adapter thingy on the bar itself (see left portion of the bar in the pic)... but both would fit an ae92, ae101 and ae111... if there should be any adjustments, they're very minor...
