It is built on a shortened V50 series Vista platform. ![]() In other Asian markets and the Americas, the ninth generation Corolla (sedan and wagon only) had unique front and rear styling treatments with mild updates over the model's production run. Sedans and wagons sold in Japan adopted a new front-end design in 2004, although this version did not typically reach export markets. Toyota supplemented the original styling with an edgier, hatchback-only styling treatment from 2002.

Toyota Corolla (E140/E150) – sedan, wagon. ![]() Obviously the extreme worst case scenario there, but still, worth pondering. Obviously the seat belts are not to be relied upon to stop that from happening, and w/ no airbag to stop the rapid forward movement of your head, I honestly don't see what's to stop my neck from snapping in a high speed collision. Still need to talk to my insurance about it, but if the accident were another driver's fault, their insurance could surely deny paying my health bill if it were in their policy that removing airbags voids their responsibility.Īnd of course the other BIG con is in a really bad crash, my face smashing into the wheel. Another con is if it would void insurance in a crash where other airbags in the car deployed. I've seen plenty of pictures of other people's DIYs that look nice, and I'm confident it would not be hard. Only cons are losing cruise control, which I would get around by still mounting the controls for it on the wheel itself or on the console somewhere. I'm honestly still weighing the pros and cons of changing wheels.

Love your car too btw.Ī side question.on the GE (or any car I guess), when you install the hub and wheel, can you align it differently than the stock one? For example, if my stock steering wheel is still SLIGHTLY off center (like 1 or 2 mm max) even after a good alignment, would I be able to correct that when installing the aftermarket wheel/hub? The shop I got my alignment at said it's as good as they can get it, and the alignment numbers they did were bang on. That's aweomse! So you have this short hub right ? - Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Works Bell Rapfix Short Boss/Hub - Honda Fit GD3/GE8, Civic 06+ FA/FG/FD It's almost as much as the wheel! I can't find a price for the J's quick release, but J's stuff is always pricey.Do you know what other hubs/quick releases work w/ the GE? Or even what model civics are the same, because the closest I can find for other slightly cheaper ones only have civics listed as per the fitment.
