Uhhh don't want to alarm you, but your steering wheel and stuff is on the wrong side.
But serious question; what's the shift pattern on a right hand drive car? I'd get so confused. Is it same as a left hand drive, aka: 135 24R?

I'll get onto that straight away But in all seriousness, it's on the right side (pardon the pun) ;D The RHD shift pattern is the same as the LHD shift pattern

Thanks for the pun. I laughed a little, then I died on the inside.
That's interesting about the shift pattern. I don't think I'd be able to shift with my left hand in the same pattern as my right hand does...I would think the shift pattern would have been flipped around. I'll have to try driving a right hand drive 5 speed someday...see how much I fail haha.
PS looks great! stockest corolla around in my opinion.

I'd be the same in a LHD vehicle trying to shift with my right hand, lol. Interestingly, both RHD and LHD cars have the ignition barrel to the right of the steering wheel. Something else that's interesting is that Toyota used the same rear centre console piece for both the RHD and LHD models, so the handbrake is to the right on both versions. Thanks for the compliment by the way. I appreciate it man

I think you can eat from anywhere on his car. It's just as stock as it gets.

It's been tough keeping it stock lately because it's winter here right now, but I wipe it down completely every day. I've found that the engine bay demands very little attention once it's had a good stock. I wipe it over about once a month, sometimes less. When I eventually get around to doing the 4A-GE BT swap I'm going to get in there with my buffer so that it looks absolutely mint ;D I think you can eat from anywhere on his car. It's just as stock as it gets. Haha, I think I'd have to agree there. I bend my joints into some pretty crazy places to get rid of any dirt/dust Im in love with your CAR!!!!!!!! Props to you Bro. Thanks! ;D. Means a lot bro

You've got an awesome corolla man! Like the oem stuffs you got there! Thanks a lot bro. I've got another optional extra on the way but I'll keep it under my hat until it arrives Kiwi, promise me this....when that plain ass 7AFE wears out....swap the motor bro...I know its hard...but its time to let go of the 7AFE, your car would look and run amazing with a 20V imo Haha, it's actually a 5A-FE (unique to the Japanese market). It won't be wearing out anytime soon as it has only done 70,000km (43,000 miles), but it will definitely be receiving a BT 20v swap at some point. That's been my goal for years so far, and will likely be a finishing touch for the car. I'd get rid of my 5A-FE in a heartbeat if I had the cash, but unfortunately there are other things I have to put first right now. The 20v motors are insanely cheap here, but I want to make sure I find one with extremely low mileage. I promise that there will be a 20v transplanted into that engine bay sooner or later agreed and im sure he's got access to a butt load of jdm parts for that motor out there too Lol yeah there are quite a few parts here for them. Plenty of replacement parts available from the dealer too

Found out yesterday that my Corolla has made 'Showoff of the Week' on CarDomain this week, which was very cool to hear ;D. Here's the link: www.cardomain.com/sotwIn other news, my spare roof-mounted Air Purifier arrived from the Philippines today. I bought it just for the plastic filter cover because the one I have currently installed was missing that piece. Planning on keeping the rest of the unit for spare parts in case I ever need it. Here's some pics of my air purifier now 100% complete:

Nice one! That is one fresh item! I have a stock box but I have no plans on installing it since the stock box is for RHD corolla. ;D
