It needs to be done right, but you know whoever buys this is just going to stance it. $3,000

I would 1UZFE swap it, adjust the suspension and chassis accordingly, sit it on some RS Wantanabes, and MAYBE paint it, but only if that isn't the original color, because I do appreciate the patina. Those mirrors are also gorgeous and I'm willing to bet half of what it's worth that it needs a new floor.

Long driveway is the worst. Sure you can put more cars in it, but suddenly you want the one that's burrried 2 cars deep and you have an ordeal on your hands. Wide is the way to go, or just start parking on the lawn...

When it starts to impact the usability of a car significantly, and the ability of a car to drive safely, stance goes from "not my thing" to "well ain't that cute, but it's wrong!"

As someone who digs both sides of the fence, I'm really fucking torn on the stance thing. I unabashedly love Japanese car culture and the look of (most of) these cars. Dished wheels and flares with optional camber totally does it for me, and don't even start about the riveted overfender. I could squee for days.

What I can't to is reconcile with how absurdly unsafe it is. I mean, the goal with a whole lot of these builds is to get your car so low that the frame scrapes on the road and grinds down every little bolt head and bit of vital framework, and then keep doing it intentionally because it looks cool and bro that camber angle is sick dude. No part of that is cool, nor is it smart.

Still, I'll always think it looks great from a presence standpoint. I'll just invest in airbag suspension if I ever want a car like that. And if I bought this Corolla, I wouldn't go much farther than what's already there. Slotted mags are bitchin'.

No. It needs to stay Toyota. An LS is too unoriginal for this car. It needs a 1UZ, or a 2ZZ-GE.

Those, and old school lowriders, aren't my thing either but where the stance crowd really goes too far for me is the excessive, to cartoon levels of absurdity, negative camber. But every generation has their thing that Oldes like us aren't meant to understand.

I'd probably make that wagon look exactly like the picture above and I'd love it. Except my dad would never allow me to own a project car.

And I'd definitely do an engine swap. Is swapping a 3.5 Camry V6 in there possible? I'd like the reliability. (Would probably want it in an automatic too.)

I'm 100% with you. To me, JDM actually means "Japanese Domestic Market"

I'm a huge fan of the Japanese car scene. Shakotan and Kyusha styles really appeal to me.
