My '93 Corolla From New Zealand

Thanks man will try to get some pics up after winter. Man your car looks great going to make it my wallpaper at work.

Sounds good! . Thanks man, that's awesome! If you want the high resolution pics for the wallpaper send me a PM with your email address and I'll fire them through

WOW!!!
Car still looking just as good as a year ago when you got the new rims.
Still prefer your Factory photoshoot you did. (p51)

I never got a real answer back regarding the Tires etc, until went and looked back at your posts and converted inch to mm.
175/45 streched onto a 205/R16 rim

Made your car a wallpaper at work coworkers noticed right away. Car looks great

I swear the kids ride in more style than what I do!

As much as I hate to say it, this build is now over and the car is up for sale . It's been a very enjoyable 6-years and I've met a huge amount of great people over that time, so I'd just like to say a massive thank you to everybody who has supported this project over the years and has offered their thoughts, opinions and encouragement. Without that, this build likely would've died a long time ago, so cheers! . I look forward to seeing what the future holds and the exciting times that are ahead

That sucks. Whats your reason for selling it? Are you keeping the daily or selling that one as well?

I've never been as attached to a car as I am to this one, so it makes things very difficult, but with 3 kids, only a 2-car garage and other things to save for in the future (wedding, house etc) it's time for the Corolla to move onto a new home. It's been a great run, and one I'll always remember. I sold my orange FX-GT hatchback a few months ago and my new car is a 2006 Toyota Aurion SX6 Sportivo. It's quite a different kettle of fish to the Corolla as it's a much larger vehicle, and packs a 3500cc 2GR-FE Dual VVT-i V6 under the hood.

Practicality-wise it makes a lot more sense as I can fit all of the kids in it (carseats and all) and it has more than enough power than I'll ever need, while being a lot safer and more modern in the process. It has nothing on the Corolla in terms of quirkiness though and feels a lot more 'generic', but it's my new pride and joy, and one that I'll no doubt keep for many years to come

Nice upgrade. Those 2gr motors are awesome, I wish the Camry v6 came in stick as well as auto. Those motors with a 6 speed flies.
