My Build Thread

KrypticKarma · 07-30-2010, 09:06 PM

So you guys are probably wondering all that Ive done to the little Prizm? Prolly not but ill share anyways :D

List of mods:
ELP CAI
NEXSS fully adjustable coilovers
Rota C8's with Yokohama Parada spec 2 tires (sold now)
2001 Corolla front end conversion with ambered out corners and yellowed fogs
10000K HID's (getting rid of for some 55w 4300K's soon)

Projector retrofit into the headlight
Sun hyper voltage ground kit
Corolla S gauge cluster
Forza header
Battery relocate to trunk
Complete 5 speed swap including:
fidanza lightweight flywheel
Exedy oem clutch kit
Royal purple 75-90 gear oil
TRD short shifter
Speed source shifter brass bushings and shifter base bushings
TRD shift knob

Im forgetting stuff i know it but ill add as i go along.

To start it off I can show some pics of how it looked when i got it.

The car had been through 2 deer in the front end. That was the first thing on my mind to fix so ebay here i come!

unfortunately prizm parts were more expensive than corolla parts. So a little research later I decided why not do a corolla front end conversion.

It starts..

Testing the hood.

All done! unpainted though. Saving up for all that broke the bank so a couple months go by and then this happens.

Yeah that sucked bad. I thought the car was toast. Well not having the best insurance they told me I had to keep what i had so $1800.00 and shes back on the road! a little bit banged up though

So now skip a while ahead and the collection of parts starts.

needed some work:

E.L. Prototypes Cold Air Intake

I have alot more stuff put into the car just lack some pictures. So you guys get the idea of how my little prizm evolved, got stomped on, and is rising back from the dead. Thanks for reading if you did and Ill keep updating this as I go.

Heres how it sits today minus the rims. (sorry for the crappy pictures)

gold94corolla · 07-31-2010, 02:43 PM

niiiiice..... what projectors are they? Any output shots at night against a wall?

KrypticKarma · 07-31-2010, 03:46 PM

I dont have any night shots right now but I can take some tonight. They are projectors out of a daewoo laganza. i got both of them at the junkyard for 20.00 and did all the cutting and fitting into my headlight. I cut out all the chrome pieces in the back and filled it in a painted black for a clean look. Best 20 dollars ive spent and the light output is amazing!

KrypticKarma · 08-01-2010, 04:26 AM

Heres some nighttime shots. Not the best quality

starlet-glanza-v · 08-01-2010, 06:14 AM

Sorry I dont know what you mean by story behind the tire?

gold94corolla · 08-01-2010, 06:53 PM

The output of those projectors is...... interesting, but way better than HIDs in the stock head lights! And why are the fog lights so low? Can you even see the ground that the light when seated?

Yeah you cant go wrong with 20.00 projectors out of a Daewoo. I dont have the time or money to stick all the hours into my headlights like you did :P Do you wanna come try to adjust my fogs with a car sitting a few inches off the ground? It's not fun!! lol. I can barely see them while im driving right now. Ill get around to it someday

deeboi · 08-02-2010, 02:03 AM

haha yeah I know.... did the Daewoo even come with D2S HIDs lol. It looks like your bulb in the driver's side might be off, since it has that tiny hot spot .... do the fogs go any higher? haha sorry bro, I get carried away with this stuff :P

KrypticKarma · 08-02-2010, 06:32 PM

Lol its cool man. I can tell you are a lighting guru. Yea i noticed also in the pics that the left has that hot spot. Sometimes that one wont turn on and it takes a couple times of off and on to get it to stay lit. usually when there is a load on my car (fogs on, a/c on) not really sure what that means. And I pulled regular bulbs out of the projectors when i got them from the junkyard. As for the fogs the one night I was messing with them i just aimed them to match. One of these nights ill get out and actually aim them. Any advice on where they should be pointed?
