93 Corolla DX Wagon
7afe 1.8 litre - C52 5 speed
>200K miles
The AE102 wagon has a 2 inch high top roof compared to all other AE10x models. It also only comes with the 7afe 1.8, not offerred with the miserly 4afe 1.6. The increased weight, increased frontal area, and increased engine displacement are three things working against the wagon compared to the 4 and 3 door models. It still manages quite imoressive mpg, as the 7afe produces much more torque and at a lower rpm, plus has a smaller first gear in the transmission, all other gears and ratios are the same as 4afe c52 transmissions.

Current Mods:
Stock, but not for long
Currently in the wilderness of the Rockies, i am rolling on 15" oem steel yaris wheels and oversized 185/65/15 Falken ProG4 all season, stock tire size is 185/65/14.
Planned Mods:
Intake system: Toms super ram jdm intake, 200mm hks air filter, Dogfight aluminum radiator cooling late, Toms high fligh front grill. All these pieces will work together, the Toms intake alone is proven on dyno to add the most efficiency to the AE10x engine setup of any anytake system.
Lighter wheels
Mpguino
Air dams all around
Front bumper air consolidation with high flow intake in mind
Longer Term:
Lower ride height, likely on kyb and eibach, possibly coilovers
