I am a new owner of a 1988 Toyota Corolla FX and would like some insight on making upgrades to this vehicle. I want to change out the wheels and I am not sure which variation of the American Racing Estrella 13x5.5 to use since they have 4/100, 4/4.25, and 4/4.5 models. Any help would be most appreciated.

 

No need to reply - like that was ever going to happen anyway!!

I have upgraded the wheels with AR Estrella's painted the car high gloss pearl back finish 6 coats and installed many upgrades to the electronics as well as having a new engine installed (an original japaneese with 100 miles on it from testing) many, many, bells and whistles....... I have figured out this this board is dead so I am moving on to one that is actually used. See ya.

post some pix of the car

 

actually it was posted on ToyotaLife... SL's sister site... check the forum index up top...

but yah, post some pics if you decide to stick around... i dig the old fx's... hoping to pick up an old fx-16 after i pay off my box next month... oddly enough i found an original '87 fx brochure at work...

what engine are you getting put in?... sticking with the 4ac?... 4age?... something else?...

 

The new engine is 4ac.

Some of the pics are lower resolution due to size limitations.

 

nice job man... real stealth looking fx...

i would've gone with black/grey/gunmetal wheels to go along with the stealth look, but those estrellas look good... do you have some higher-res pics posted elsewhere?...

great to see some of the old school fx's getting some love...

BTW... This car gets 40 MPG in city don't know about highway, have tested on highway but did not get fuel consumption data.
