My first car was a 97' Corona Exsior A/T.
It was bone stock when i got it except for the JDM side skirts . Then, I first installed a set of 16" Rota Tuner2 with 215/50/16 Potenza Tires.
I was contented with the way my car looked at that time. Then, I joined Club Corona Philippines . That's when the Addiction started.
The next day, I cut my springs to lower the car and installed an OEM design custom chin spoiler and painted the clearance lights amber since i was going for the JDM look that time.
A few months after, due to peer pressure (hahaha!), i started my "Euro" Conversion or "EDM" look. So... I replaced my front bumper with a Caldina Gen1 bumper and the rear with a black-banded short bumper.
Also installed an OEM design custom chin spoiler and a pair of dummy headlight washers . I replaced the clearance lights with the Euro clearance lamps and installed a European plate behind my license plate to emphasize the Euro Concept. In addition, I installed a set of OEM (metal) window visors and finally removed my JDM side skirts.
I was able to get a hold of a set of 16" Lexus OEM wheels . Wrapped with 205/45/16 Federal Tires.
Then, I was lucky enoguh to find a set of Espelir Lowering Springs 1.5" drop for ST-191.
*** After all my Euro conversion, I decided to let go of my car. . . . .
and swap it with a 97' Corona Exsior as well but with a Manual Transmission. (see page 3)
