Again, new here. refered here by joshiroku and hondarue, hopefully ill be able to post my car soon.

ive owned 3 corollas, one beat up sr5 that was my first car :mrgreen:

i had it and loved it for over a year, then the head gasket went, and when i went to pull the motor, i found the frame had a major kink in it and gave in, i didnt want to put my money into it and sold it..


so i owned many other cars between them, a ford taurus SHO being the one i had for the longest amount of time.

i missed my favorite car so i bought another..

this is the last pictures i have of it

it was a lot of fun, was just the little daily driven car no one could keep up with in the corners..

i bought a 240z as a weekend racer ( bad idea)

long story short money got tight and i was forced to sell my blue corolla to fund it :/



but now im close to selling my Z, and when i do, my 3rd corolla gets some attention. fyi its a gushi auto car, his name is still on the pinkslip lol

and its drive..

so that will be a lot of fun.

hopefully once the Z leaves, you will all get to see major progress on this thing.

Thanks Josh. I'm fluffy bunny feet on club4ag. I was the one asking about the headers.

And yeah the 1uz is coming quite popular. For something so powerfull and light that can fit without major hammer work its a great swap.

Oh yeah and i'm super excited. Today I hit the local junk yard and found a modded gts. I took steel braided brake lines from it, manual rack and tomorrow i'm gonna go back for the sway bar. Looked like a 22 mm front
