My new installed 3used+1Brand New TRD-KYB shocks and TRD Springs out of a AT210 Corona from Junkyard.
 This shock is brand new from Japan.  Minor Mod to fit for the front, need to change the org. uper mount to fit the shocks, and the rear pair are exactly the same and just fit right in. The TRD's one for ST20X are discontinued!!! My new installed TRD Sport Air Filter   Another TA40 Bonnet Badge for my Tail, replace my LEXUS Emblem Before  After   5th Gen Mirror, very easy to install, not yet re-wire for the powered mirror, but for sure the existing mirror not fit for RHD, need to tailor make another mirror for better view.       Let me say thanks to Culpable04 again for the mirrors, find and ship to me, let me be the most unique 6GC in Hong Kong with that, Hong Kong only...lol This post has been edited by vincent_doggy: Oct 2, 2006 - 12:46 AM -------------------- |

QUOTE(Magic @ Oct 2, 2006 - 2:30 AM) [snapback]486014[/snapback] Great Upgrades vincent_doggy How do you feel the car after the handling upgrades? def, the twist of the frame reduce a bit; highly recommended!! especially for a VERT body!! Perhaps, it's only an illusion, but I found the torque is increase, not from any dyno or computer. The rev go up faster, just like you swap with normal engine mount to a TRD engine mount!!! Anyway, I like it very much, at least make my engine room more "TRD"

I believe that car in Europe is called the Carina. The Caldina is basically a wagon version of this car.
