FolkenStrategos's Build thread

Surely and slowly. I'm sure you'll get it figured out as you go.

The only thing I don't like about those mirrors is reduced visibility.

wat i said! lol

The one I have right now has the worst visibility in the history of mankind. Takes some serious :ninjastea alertness to drive safely with mine.

I want my mirrors black because my O.E.M ones where black. It accents all the other black stuff on the car.

Little update.....

looks good, but u keep ur rims on in the winter!!, lol, i put mine in storage. I got a question tho, wat endlinks are you using for those swaybars?

I want the L.E.D to really stand out when it's on. It wasn't black enough. Now the L.E.Ds aren't visible during the day....which is perfect for me.

They are all over ebay for crazy cheap...like $40 shipped i think, which is one of the reason I don't want it anymore. I could give you mine for like $25 shipped, but it's rusted at the screw that holds the blinker lens down.

For about $20 more you can have brand new ones off ebay.

Yeah, i don't see the point of the swap. All season tires are rated a ton better than Conventional in the snow. The reason i bought all season tires was to use it well........in every season. Wheels are powder coated so salt won't bother them.

I bought brand new O.E.M endlinks at install. Nothing fancy. I set the bar to maximum stiffness. It's so stiff I can hear the torsion of the bar from inside the car whilst turning.

I will. I am just waiting for my new corner lights to arrive.

I don't like clear corners, i think they are too cliche and the passenger side corner has a broken clip so it's taped down currently.

Smoked. I will mask that orange marker.

Thanks. I want so many things for this car, but don't have too much time.

I guess I will see how it goes. I want an interlagos blue 01 E46, so I can start doing some serious modifications for racing and quit playing around with this car.

^ sig much better

heyy!! look whos got wheels and finally left ToyotaNation. lol


Folken,
car looks mad now. lol

More Pictures . 93 - 97 GTEC lip on 98 - 00

I ordered the GTEC lip for 98 - 02, but the morons selling it sent me a GTEC lip for the 93 - 97. I thought I would temporarily tape it on and see how it looks before attempting to return it, and I loved the way it looked, or I think it will look all finished up. A few Fitment Issues

Passenger Side fitment issue. Little vertical bar stopping it from going in all the way.


Driver Side Fitment Issue. Little Vertical bar stopping it from going in all the way


More fitment issues that I think is caused by those bars being there.


Passenger side


This is how it looks on the car.......me likey. Fog light holes a definite plus .


Any ideas? Seems like a body shop should be able to fix these pretty easily.

Looks like you have to grind down that part in the middle of the lip, thats what i had to do to my lip to get it to fit with minimal gaps, then just push it back.

The body shop says they can put it on but they have to remove about 2 inches off the center of the lip to make it fit. Sounds good to me can't wait for it to be done.

Incoming mods
VIS Carbon Fiber Trunk
TRD rear Valence
TRD trunk lip
TRD BLACK chrome logos

that's hot

cant you just cut out the vertical bars with a dremel?

I cut those vertical bars with a really big scissors, and pushed it in, but it still didn't fit. A big ass 2+ inch gap was left on the driver side, that's why the body shop says they have to cut 2 inches off the middle and re-fiberglass it back together. I will tell them to make sure that the original bumper doesn't block the fog light holes after install.

in your corolla? what makes you think youre making anywhere near 142whp?

dyno

please, post up your dyno sheet... or at least link me to it. im surprised you gained nearly 40whp, with just an intake right?

or did you use an iphone or something? maybe put it in L on the dyno?
