Hi all,

my missus finally got her first car and I'm proud to announce it's a Corolla.

The car is a 1990 Corolla Seca SPIRIT!

It's powered by an auto 4afc power-house, has 170k on the clock, and has 15" alloys.

The exterior and interior of the car is in fantastic condition, and for the price we payed it's hard to find better... :sob:

And after some help from "Paint"...Pimpin'

To-do list:

-Tints (probably 5 or 15%)

-Sound System (I have one waiting to go in)

-Roll rear guards...coz it scrubs with fatties like me in it...

-Lowering (sits fairly high with the 15's)

 

Cheers,

MM

Yeah it's a great little/not-so-little car...

I'm just happy it's original, we saw so many with resprays and rust coming through...

at least on this one what u see is what you get...

 

This kind of boot space would be dangerous in my garage...

i just can't stop thinkin of how many subs i could shove in there!

haha yeh ive been driving the missus car for the last few weeks and I'm starting to think about getting one too but I'm sure she will let me mod heres as i drive it more than my owns cars. oh and yes its suprising its not such a small car at all and the boot is pretty big hey

sounds as if the rims are the wrong offset. or possible to wide a tire.

 

195 or 205's tuck nicely into the rear arches of the seca (and hatches for that matter as well)

 

pity bout it being an auto and a 4afc, other than that very nice find.

 

can we assume this was an elderly persons car? being thats it practically stock.

yeah it was owned by a 40-sumthin year old man since new...

i already know the wheels are slightly wrong, because it has spacers on it, to keep it from hitting the strut i suppose.

 

either way, we wanna keep what's on there and lower it, so rolling is the way to go...

meybe next time she's up for tyres we'll look at getting something lower profile and skinnier...

any suggestions?

:no2: spacer *sigh*

 

any suggestions?

 

as for tires sizes it depends on what the currently on the rims,

 

but as a suggestion 185/195, with a 55/50 series in a 15 would be ideal

 

but if it was me i would chucking the spacers, and getting rims with proper offset, +38 to +45

The thing is we just wanna use what's on there, don't wanna spend any money on it unnecessarily.

If we can lower it without changing anything (except rolling guards), that would be ideal.

The tyres at themoment are 195/60 R15's, so maybe if when it's up for tyres we go with a 185/50??

 

anyway, system went in on saturday...cranks hard, just have to mount the Sick by 9's...
