2011 Plans For You Corolla

[PaulinhoT]

I would agree on the dull and no passion part lol...

[mr-p]

yeah its a shame as the mk1 focus is one of the best fwd drivers cars out there, the drive is almost perfect imo

going to look nice and wide

[LOZZA_T_SPORT]

Hopefully mate, thats increase of 40mm track at the rear

[mr-p]

huge! thought that was 20 total but 40mm hope its ok on the standard studs as the rolla does need them arches filling lol pics are a must

[LOZZA_T_SPORT]

These bolt onto the original studs and the wheel now bolts onto the spacer

[mr-p]

ahh there that type sweet some of the hubcentric ones ive seen bolt to the hub and relocate the wheel studs through the spacer, going to look good

[ali_legend]

Got some alloys someone might be interested in :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170645052738&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_949

I also have got 2x20mm spacers.

I had to mount longer studs indeed, and my arches are also rolled, and even a bit wider too.

But that's because my rolla is this low ofcourse ;)

I hope you don't need to roll them, but there's a chance for rubbing then :P

Grtz!

Oh and my plans for 2011 to stay ontopic: get some nice JDM tow hooks to repaint, painting some parts in body colour, and some more things :P

OOOOO What do JDM tow hooks look like mate?

The Eibach spacers come with new studs on them so no need to use long studs

They look like this (available in different colours) :

And about the spacers, watch out with those adapters.

I'm a bigger fan of longer studs, because when using adapters, u got 2 "weak points", one between alloy and adapter, and one between adapter and original studs. If only one of both isn't mounted or screwed as it should be, the wheel can come off.

But that's only my opinion ;)

Good luck with them, post some pics when u have got them :D

[dangermooser]

[LOZZA_T_SPORT]

Do you know if they are good quality off the old eBay ?

[Guest]

you can get the tow hooks off eBay, just search, "jdm tow hook" !Removed! loads of em.

it appears i'm a bit behind on the times lol

[dangermooser]

Well they look exactly the same as the one in the pic

[noedel]

Yup, eBay is the place to be ;)

U can get them in all shapes and almost all colours :D

And about the spacers: when I was "cruising" with a friend of mine, we stopped at traffic lights, and saw a wheel passing us.

"Oh damn, looks abit like his wheel".

But seemed it WAS his :P

It was because of his adapter spacers, original studs and wheel had no damage at all :P

I got H&R spacers btw ;)

Grtz

Have you got any pics of the H&R spacers please mate ?

[noedel]

Here you go.

But keep in mind that they are originally grey / silver.

I just painted them black so they wouldn't notice them on MOT :P

So did you just remove the old studs and fit new longer ones ?

What width are those spacers mate ?

I also have got 2x20mm spacers.

20mm each side ;)

Took (read: hammered) out the original studs yes, and fitted these new longer ones, who come with the spacers.

Not that hard ;)

You have me thinking now because of what you said about the wheel issue the other night

Not sure weather to fit the Eibach kit or go for the H&R kit ???

[noedel]

I don't want to force u, but u have got a t-sport, so, it's a fast and powerful car, so the wheels can have hard times if you know what I mean :P

The more power a car got, the less risks I'd take with such parts.

Personally I think my spacers are safer, keeping the issue in mind indeed.

They costed me 140euros (about 110-120 GBP I think), and installed them myself.

Grtz :)
