FolkenStrategos's Build thread

^i would do this but already bought my 2001 conversion parts. lol
you should make DIY for projector conv in 98-00 headlights

Good idea actually, I might.

be careful not to get any of the glue on the glass or the chrome part, if you try taking it off it will smear, but be most careful when you pull apart the glass from the plastic, it starts to stretch like gum.

No, I didn't. I tried putting it in the oven but it won't come apart and the housing got deformed, ops and I didn't feel like doing it.

I am trying to source some PNP HID to Projector complete kit with Audi L.E.D so I can whip something really custom up, but don't trust the company selling it, they look suspicious, haha, so I only bought the Audi L.E.D to see if they are trustworthy, will order the full kit if my L.E.D arrives before end of next week, latest February 21st.

You can buy them that way too if you need to replace them anyways.

nahhz, i bought my blackout headlights.

You should replace them eventually anyways due to the weather blasted plastic.

Anyone have a wiring diagram for upstream oxygen sensor on an 00 corolla, for the installation of the AEM Wideband? I got it installed at a mechanic but the oxygen sensor CEL is still popping up. I am assuming this is because the signal wires have been mixed up at install. Any idea which wires are which?

I heard when you put headlights in the oven to take them apart there is a very good chance that when you are all finished you end up with condensation in there.

Where are the whole pictures of your car and engine? I hate teasers.

It's extremely dirty and mushy outside right now, i have some imperfections on the car too. I guess i will take pictures like that....who knows. I did the audi style headlight mod using the morimoto headlight led strip i got. It looks like space age tech at night....in my opinion.

You mean it looks like the enterprise has landed and chewbaca exits asking for his dog collar back?

Ehrr....

haha im just fucking with you man Im sure it looks good!

my driver side headlight. made custom hole in it for the air intake. something like this one

Took me a while to understand what you meant, lol. I am interested in getting these, does any one know TCS? They sound like some crappy ebay only company.

I was thinking of getting the one by the well known carbon creations but theirs is universal and I do not feel like going through the ass pains it will take to install them.

Work in progress: Pictures

Headlight with L.E.D installed. I had to use clear tape to hold down that corner light because I messed up both of my O.E.M corner lights trying to black them out. Will fix this later.......when i feel like it, haha.


This is what it looks like during the day. Mind you, paint is 8 years old.


The AEM UEGO wideband installed in gauge pod.


Rear Hotchkis sway bar


Front Hotchkis sway bar


This needs an update, PRONTO


Again, 8 year old paint, rear of car


Who would have thought you can spend over $4000 on an engine and still end up looking as bone stock as ever, lol


Ebay header wrapped up, and ready for some supercharging, Don't let anyone tell you that you need a brand name header, they all work just about the same, assuming they have the same design. These never broke since install.


L.E.D strip




Drag wheels. I like drag and tenzo, and Modular concept, and ADR, and Work, and BBS and some i can't remember right now. Not a fan of Rays though, fugly wheels, imo.


Tint. I got ripped off. LLumar. $350. Anti static etc etc etc.


almost Finished headlight L.E.D. I plan on smoking the engine headlight assembly.






Stuff you may need to do the L.E.D modification.


$220 wasted. CEL comes on, and you need to relocate Main Fuse box and driver side headlight fuse box. If you have a 2002 - 2008 corolla, I will give it to you for $150, shipping included.


Random TRD logo on hood/bonnet.


You spend over $800 on a stupid exhaust system and it still rusts up anyway. LAME.


That's it for now, will post L.E.D at night. I have TRD spoiler and Rear Valence coming in, will install and take a picture.

I took the car to a custom paint shop and they said $3000 to perfect my paint and car for me. ......

It's progressing.

still processing the last pic. lol
looks ok though, your prob have do most ur mods in summer. hehe


those f1 mirrors, i got some for $50 if interested. not carbon fiber though.
try get some if want?

L.E.Ds at night. Can't see the L.E.Ds in picture with headlight on, but in reality it's quite visible and looks VERY different from this.

Remove the pinstripes down the sides. And is that a dent on the left fender? Any plans for a front lip?

That's the plan. I hate those pinstripes, and yes it's a dent, i stepped on the car about 5 years ago, lol. It wasn't mine then, but apparently karma as a great sense of humor.

As for front lip, i already bought the G-Tech front lip. I am not sure if i will use it for 02 front conversion(I don't see the point of spending $1000 and then end up still looking stock), or have phan make that hybrid bumper for me, or just stick it on the 2000 front end, remove that middle bar and call it a day.....who knows?

Lookin good man. I really like you mods on the interior.

LEDs look sweet. i wish they went around whole headlight also or had eyebrows? lol

as for that f1 mirror, this is my evil twins. Mine has LED blinker.
