3SGTE in Toyota Corolla Altis

Despite the Toyota Corolla Altis being relatively new, many enthusiasts have started modifying different engines into their ride. In fact, after much inspiration from Thai 3SGTE Altis modders, I also changed my engine. Currently it is in progress, but  looking good thus far.
