Toyota Corona (Big backside version)

[Guyver]

This is a message for all those driving the Toyota Corona (big backside version) one... if u are driving one.. u'll know what i mean. So pls share your experiences whether good, bad, or whatever that's related to this car in here.

recently fixed up my PBV, frankly cannot really feel much difference. Maybe a little little bit more responsive... Now thinking of changing exhaust system... saw a fellow corona driver fix his up. Not too noisy, just nice. Adding a bassy note to stock exhaust.. nice.

 

Anyway, painted my rear drums today. Kinda tiring job especially when doing it alone. But nevertheless, 4 hours later, its done... though not the best of workmanship but still quite satisfied with it...

Wow!! think u are quite hardcore.. i don't really bother.... but will want to see yours..... what's the color of your car? and what color did u paint the brakes with?

[Prozac]

not hardcore lah... since the coe renewed already, then take better care of it lor... gotta last 9 years plus...

 

Mine's the classic dirty green... and i painted the drums red, yet to do the callipers cos no time... Intend to change the colour to black or something more racy... so red is just nice.

Big Backside version - at first glance looks like the Opel Omega ..... quite 'DAI HONG', but wonder if the driver needs to install a third mirror for parallel parking?

[Turbobrick]

Big Backside is known as AT190 too.

Yah better do..... mine is metallic black... very nice color.... looks so cool.... think i would like to paint my brakes red also.... can show me how during our meet up next month? Think metallic with red brakes..... NICE!!

[Guyver]

With experience don't need.... but i still went ahead and installed the reverse sensor.... firstly... only cost me S$90 with installation.... secondly.... not every driver that drives my car is as experience as me right? just in case my gf were to drive.... at least...... i'm less worried.....

[Prozac]

no problem... TB was the one who gave me instructions anyway... and directions where to buy the paint.

[Guyver]

Could u give us some MCF slip of paper that we could put at those car owners windscreen. So that we could put some on those babes wind screen and get some color into our group. At the same time... we could get those driving the same car as us to join.... can?

[Guyver]

Ok, btw.. is the paint permanantly on? Also i've change to denso spark plug... and the jet racing cable and direct air intake.... so other than PBV... what else u did?

[Prozac]

yup, its permanantly on... until u use thinner to remove it. Besides PBV? hmmm... intend to do many other things... but gotta wait for $$ to come in first. Intend to do the following...

 

Ignition Coil

CAI/K and N

Denso Iridium

NGK Cables

Port and Polish cum Overhaul

Suspension and many others...

 

One thing at a time... unless toto group 1.

[Guyver]

From my experience.. for our cars... the bigger feel in the improvement is the Denso Iridium spark plug... and thicker cables.... i have added a broquet too... but doesn't seems to help much.

[Prozac]

my next step is probably the plugs, cables and ignition coils... let u know if there's any improvement.

[Turbobrick]

Would appreciate if MCF members would put out our flyers, pass to U guys next meetup ok?

[Cool]

I also paint my brakes clipper.. black.

[Mondeo]
