Loved the history bro!
Can you provide some links to where you bought your mods?
I have an AE101 and I really liked the look of yours.
Thanks!

What mods in particular? Alot of them are used parts from sellers online

Those headlights, for example, look mint! Also, that spoiler and celica GT fog lights.
And the folding mirrors (do they work well?). Also, that rear bumper looks great.

The headlights I bought them off a seller on the AE101 fb group the foglights a local junkyard, folding mirrors and rear JDM bumper from kiwi corolla. The rear spoiler from eBay just search M3 lip style spoiler for 93-97 corolla

New hub assemblies in the back and resurfaced rear rotors and new pads all around plus new parking shoes. My stopping distance has been literally cut in half. Now I can drive like a dick with confidence.

Installed my fender braces after ripping half the car apart… it was a bit of work and you have to realign your doors and fenders so I’d only recommend this if you really are competitive track driving and really want to gain some chassis stiffness. Keep in mind that on the ad pics for these they use another vehicle and it doesn’t say anything about how to mount them so you’d have to align the brace and drill the holes yourself just wide enough to use rivet nut inserts since there’s no way you can reach around and get a nut behind it since it is a boxed frame piece. As soon as I hit the road I felt an immediate difference. Since my coilovers make noise over bumps I heard them much louder which indicates they are absorbing the bumps much more and not the spongy chassis. Turn in feels more immediate but so do bumps on the road and it also seems to cause more front end body roll.

Also painted my subframe connectors gold to match everything else.
