My Ae101 Corolla

[TRD93]

Well I'm a long term reader on S|W but this is my first post,

My names Rob, I'm 19 and from Ireland, bought myself and Ae101 corolla hatch last week and have decent plans for it suspension wise, it's tough to get low in Ireland, due to a combination of bad roads and stupid laws, but we'll get there eventually anyway I'll throw up a few pic of my previous car and my corolla as it stands now, will update this as I go along

Thanks for looking

My old mk3 Golf




And my corolla as I bought it


And with my SSR Starsharks and 40 mil lowering springs fitted (Coilovers arriving in 2 weeks)

I had no idea there was an AE101 hatch. Hell yes.

Me neither until recently. We didn't get them stateside
It's probably the only cool corolla even made

[Randomofodication]

[Junya]

You hold your tongue, there a couple cool corollas.

Haha thanks for the feedback

There are loads of these shape Corolla's in Ireland but very few with the Japanese extra's (Electric sunroof, electric windows, electric folding mirrors, and of course all the GT-FX 20v bits) The Asian market seemed to soak up all the best of this model, luckily I got my hands on one

They're a bit dirty in this pic but you get the idea



Well i installed me Tein Superstreet coilovers a few weeks ago but the car won't go anywhere near as low as i'd like it to! The fronts are wound down to the max and still about an inch to an inch and a half wheel gap with my starsharks on the car! I've thought about cutting the helper springs but laws in Ireland prevent me from doing so, plus I don't want to lose a whole lot of handling, anybody got any suggestions as to what I could do to go lower without changing coilovers as finding coilovers for this chassis in Ireland is near impossible!

You can get a view of the wheel gap in this picture!


And just a picture that was taken by a friend of mine at Japfest Ireland a few weeks back where my car was on show

Yeah going to go lower as soon as possible, just need to find out how to get my coils to go lower without cutting springs! Arches will be rolled and pulled then to fit the -40et 6J wheels..haha
