UK E11 Liftback Corolla *new look*
Hi everyone, thought i'd put up a build thread of my e11 completely stock when I bought it, with 39,000miles on the clock for a very reasonable price stayed pretty much stock until January 2014 when I decided I needed to modify a few things
First up I got a couple dress up bits, this battery tie bar isn't bolted down but was purely for show after I realised i'd bought one that was too short and didn't have the drop down to the bodywork purple TRD oil cap is on there as well.
next up was the front strut brace (about march 2014), after putting it on I took the car for a trip around the twisty roads, and it was pretty obviously the best improvement i've made to my car. The zebra print bits happened a couple months ago. The induction kit is missing the pipe, I need to get a custom one made up, because the stock 4afe throttle body intake is 63mm, the cone fits over that perfectly, but I need a pipe that fits over a 63mm and fits into an internal diameter of 63mm... pretty annoying, but the noise it makes at 3-4k rpm in second gear is just beautiful
I was fed up of my foglights getting smashed by stones from lorries and the roads (our roads SUCK) that I decided to get a new set of genuine foglights (these came off a G6R), and had mesh put on them to deflect any more stones. Had the mesh on since august and it's stopped any further damage from happening... the car you can kind of see to the left is my mum's celica
not long after the foglights, I was getting bored of the “fried egg” look of the indicators, so I replaced the stock orange bulbs with chrome ones that flash orange. The chrome blends into the light surround, so no more horrible orange blob
Before
After
I'm also doing my own interior, first up was my doorcards
I also have summer wheels with 195/45/16 tyres, the e12 Tsport alloys. These were one for a while until a couple of weeks ago...
winter wheels are my stock toyota wheels with 185/65/14 tyres
I also upgraded my sidelights and headlights sidelights are blue LED bulbs, and my headlights are Xenon Gas bulbs (which I haven't got a decent photo of, because they just glare badly on my camera)
I think i'll end it there for today... but that's pretty much all of the modifications/improvements i've made to my e11 since January 2014 to October

Had a look under my car today to see if I could find where the exhaust is blowing from... Looks like I need a new backbox

Re: UK E11 Liftback Corolla
Good news for your elbow! That exhaust will certainly sound and look better than the previous one!

Re: UK E11 Liftback Corolla
That's true lol. Decided to go with just the backbox. Is going to be a bit cheaper but will still hopefully give a decent burble... Not wanting it ridiculously loud, but subtle.

Pampie, never doing the cabin filter again... It got wedged in the footwell before I managed to fit it, and I also took a chunk of skin out of my thumb on the grey plastic cover was not a fun job

It's a bolt on tailpipe I couldn't afford the price for the custom tailpipe I wanted, so found a bolt on that looked similar
