No problem bro :). I appreciate the feedback. The two rear shots were taken with my recently purchased 8mm fisheye lens. Branching out of my comfort zone a little and trying something new :biggrin:

Hey guys,

Here's some photos of my 1993 Toyota Corolla SE Limited (5-speed AE100). It's a Japanese model, so came with power windows, power folding mirrors, central locking, wind/rain deflectors, colour coded bumper/door handles/mirrors/side strips/mudflaps, air conditioning with climate air and push-button controls, tachometer, boot garnish, plum interior etc.

It took me a while to find an SE Limited model in 5-speed, and it was completely standard when I bought it, but I've owned it for 4-years so far and have done some modifications since then.

This first post will remain updated with all of the current modifications and photos. Photos of how the car looked originally/previously can be found on my CarDomain page.

* 35% "Night Rider" window tint.
* Front door locks eliminated.
* 17" Sport Max 962 alloy wheels.
* Rolled rear guards.
* Rear bumper lip painted.
* 'SE Limited' and 'Toyota' badges removed.

Haha, glad you noticed it. Decided to get it a few months ago to personalise the car even more. It's meant to mean whipped as in whipped cream but can have many different interpretations. Thanks mate, very pleased that you like it. Yeah it would have to be the most luxurious Corolla out there :biggrin:

Here's a photo that I took a few hours ago:

^ Awesome mate, I'll do that :biggrin:

I bought and installed a new radiator today as I discovered a hairline crack in the top tank of the original copper radiator which was causing the coolant to dribble out and spray all around my engine bay.

I was thinking about going for a brand new aftermarket copper radiator, but for a similar price I managed to find a full alloy radiator and luckily snapped up the last one they had in stock. It's more than double the thickness of the original copper radiator and looks a lot better too :)

Bro, 1 advise: Do use none gycol base coolant as it will protect ur alloy radiator!!! Anti-freeze contain coolant will "bite" the alloy material itself!:driver: (unless ur site having winter season untill -0 degree, then no choice...)

*P/S: Flush ur cooling system 1st with distilled water, if possible top up with it together with above mentioned coolant if nessesary!

Thanks for the tip! I filled it today with a 50/50 pre-mix of green coolant. It's antifreeze so will be glycol based....whoops. Would you recommend completely draining and flushing the cooling system again and filling it with just rust inhibitor type coolant as opposed to antifreeze?

Yup, if current using Antifreeze type then u need to flush again untill all the green stuff become clear! :driver:

*rust inhibitor coolant will do. If possible, add on grounding on ur full alloy radiator too! u'll received suprising result!!!:listen:

I did a bit of research today and the coolant I used contains 320ml of Ethylene Glycol per litre, however it is free of nitrite, phosphate and amine. According to the product info it "provides optimum protection against corrosion of all metals in vehicle cooling systems". Tempting to drain and flush the entire cooling system, but I have a feeling that getting every last drop of green coolant out would be very difficult as that's what has been used in the cooling system for the last 20-years. I will probably just leave it as it is for now and monitor the colour of the coolant and make sure it's free of any corrosion etc.

Definitely keen to see what grounding the radiator will do though. Do I just ground it to the bare metal of the chassis? Or ground it to the engine? Thanks again for all your help and advice :)

Connect a ground cable directly on the alloy radiator itself & the other end on ur car body will do!:):wavey:
