Here's my Corolla wagon.

It has many modifications, I'll tell you some of them.

-Engine conversion it has the powerful Toyota 5K engine in it. This is a strong performer.
-Extractors
-2" Exhaust with 2.5" stainless cannon mounted on an angle.
-2.5" lowering blocks in the back
-Chopped springs up the front
-Towbar with chromie towball cover
-14x6.5" Performance Alloys
-185/60/14 Dunlop Daytona Tires up front. Please note that Dunlop invented the pneumatic tire
-205/60/14 Yokahama S306 rear tires
-Badly installed tint strip
-15% tints (legal as my vehicle is registerd as a light van)
-5 Speed gearbox
-Massive battery
-Custom carpet install in the boot (house carpet)
-Custom boot panels manufactured out of 18mm MDF
-AE92 GTZ Trueno Steering wheel
-Stereo:
JVC 40x4 CD headunit
6.5" Jaycar front componants
4 Channel Alpine 3552 Amp
Mysterious 12" Kicker Subwoofer, installed in a shithouse looking box.

It serves as a phat cruiser, a good dailey driver, and a good work wagon, can put all my tools and stuff in the back.

It looks a bit rough at present, but next year i'm giving it a bit of a rebuild, giving it a full respray in some undecided colour, what do you guys think would be a good colour for it? I may also rebuild the engine to race spec, and it will go hard.

Here's a few pictures of the beast, it actually looks a lot lower in real life than in the photo's

BTW, I'm the good looking guy in the overalls wearing avaitors.

C'mon guys!

It's got small guards! The biggest wheels you would want to fit would be 16's, otherwise you can't lower it much!

I'm going to get some 15's for it, but definatly no 17's, or 18's

Nah I've never driven it, but I have lost my licence, so I can't drive anyway. Don't worry, it'll be going when I get my licence back.

HAHA nah it's just the old cars like that, and I specifically don't clean the number plates when washing my car. The old cars have the black plates, which is good, cos they're harder to read when you are doing dodgy shit.

Yeah the 5K sounds angry, and OH! the torque! it's mint for towing, and it goes not much slower when you have a full carload, or an engine in the boot and lots of tools!

It's my friends friends VR-4, for sale, going cheap, $4000, full evo 4 kit, 17's, exhaust, superlow kings etc...
