Skellington Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Posted May 29, 2013 I have been getting some work done. All 4 wheels are painted and cleared. I ended up putting a clear on them. it added a glossy appearance, but I'm ok with it. Here they are complete: I am able to get the car in the garage to work on it now, so thats a plus. I mocked up the rims on the car. Rear will fit PERFECT. I am going for a filled out wheel well and the rear can't get any better than this: The front are close. They stick out less than an inch out of the front gaurd. These are 7.5" wide wheels, and I will run a 185-60-r14 Falken Ziex ZE-512. I should have a little stretch going on so they might tuck in nicely. There she sits until i beat the dreaded California SMOG! Quote
Skellington Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) MA61 wheels are 7", +8 offset FYI. Â I got 7.5" from inside of either lip. Ill check again when i get home. Edited May 29, 2013 by Skellington Quote
FishEye Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Dude nice... How do you plan on lowering it? Â Quote
Skellington Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Posted May 30, 2013 Here is what I got on the MA61's: Â Â Dude nice... How do you plan on lowering it? I will make front coilovers. I will probably use https://technotoytuning.com/toyota/te37 or something like it. I am a DIY guy, So I may just gather parts and do it myself. I am undecided on the rear. I am thinking of using the leaf springs with blocks. Adding a panhard rod and 2 lower links to help locate axle, but if I go that far, I might as well just 4 link it. Who knows. Quote

I want to get those same front coils for my te31 and use blocks in the rear... I hear the ride quality is shitty but I'm not sure... Quote
Skellington Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Posted May 30, 2013 Â Â Yep the lip is 0.5" which means.... Means you know your MA61's! Quote
Skellington Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Posted June 28, 2013 My smog report came back... Aladeen. :) :D :( :) :( :| Quote
Skellington Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Posted June 28, 2013 Â Here is how it did at the smog shop. The guy first told me it would probably fail. his manager came over and made him re test it when he saw the CO%. He then laughed and told me it smogged bet Quote
Skellington Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 My corolla is now upgraded from garage space taker, to commuter. Now I feel that i can justify spending more on it. Pics because I like them: Quote
