ae71piggie Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 hey guy I'm just curious ive picked up this ke witha slanted front wanting to change the front end not sure what its called but ill post a pic of my car ( the white one) and the other car is a red ke i think wanting to get a front end liek this or even the front end of the blue one thx all help appreciated Quote
D1doony Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) slant front (bottom one) is the standard late model front end and is aparantly the "shittest" looking one flat front(top one) is the standard early model front end the jap/quad front end is the most "popular" for jdm sickness. you can do that middle one on the cheap, te72/t18 front bumper ra22 headlight set up then you can buy the grill and beaver panel from a few online jap stores etc. not to mention you will need to buy the guards, headlights, parklights, indicators bladibla or maybe try ae86 driving club a shot. if you want to change to the "flat front" you will need flat front guards flat front bonnet flat front bumper flat front beaver panel flat front headlights flat front park lights flat front indicators flat front beaver panel i wouldnt recoment doing it, afterall it is a corolla and they were never designed to look good, designed to drive grannys to the local shop to pick up groceries. if you want to change the front end a little, go to bunnings, get some garden edging and throw it on the front as front "lip" Edited February 7, 2009 by D1doony Quote
philbey Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 ....afterall it is a corolla and they were never designed to look good, Ahem - Speak for yourself and your post 1972 mates! :yes: Quote
ae71piggie Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Posted February 7, 2009 ok so its prob not worth doing then? this week its getting super low king springs aswell as exhaust sytem done aswell untill i get some cash then domes the ca or sr transplant :yes: Quote
Jono Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 if you are doing a CA or SR conversion why waste money on an exhaust system for the 4K? Quote
ae71piggie Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Posted February 7, 2009 ahh i seee ur point jono reason being... i wont have the cash to do the conversion for a fair while yet conversion is just in my sights you see haha for now I'm just gonna muck around with the 4k till it either blows or i have the cash to transplant gp Quote
Jono Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 every $100 you blow on the 4k is $100 further away from your conversion. you could spend a small fortune on your 4k before you know it and it will still go like ass compared to a proper conversion. Quote
ae71piggie Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Posted February 7, 2009 yeh true u do have a point i just found out i can get a ca18 na engine and box for $100 :yes: gp Quote
andro0o Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) yeh trueu do have a point i just found out i can get a ca18 na engine and box for $100 :yes: gp 1. its a na so its a complete nugget. 2. its probably a short motor for that price. 3. if its not its definately blown up for that price.
