I finally get a 4age and everyone goes v8..... ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[McKenney]

you're behind the times bro, but you get to scavenge our 4AGE stuff and get a buttload of it for free... you're welcome btw! And why hasn't your build thread progressed any sir?

I finally get a 4age and everyone goes v8..... ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

come on there is still some of us that is true 4age guys.

[McKenney]

I was a V8 guy long before I got into Corollas. I've had 700+ hp small block Chevy powered cars and multiple V8 swapped S10s. I just want more nuts out of my car than the 4AGE is capable of producing... And I like torque!

[McKenney]

Well, can't finish bolting the trans to the bellhousing. The adapter for the internal slave is either drilled wrong or the mount ring was welded on the wrong side. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! And it looks like I have to modify the stock W58 throwout bearing collar as the internal slave won't even come close to sliding over. All the parts are amazing quality, but I'm pissed that I get the kit that was wrong...


Hopefully I'll get a reply tonight form the guy who made the kit. I can modify/fix everything to work, but for a $650 kit that claims complete, I shouldn't f-ing have to damnit. I'm actually so livid right now I can't see straight. Calling it a night from working on car stuff.

[McKenney]

so Brandon at toyotav8.com is fixing me up with the right one. I think I'll fix this one and hang on to it for a spare. All is well, anger subsided.

[McKenney]

1000 internet for you my good man. Initial d has done nothing but raise prices and bring retards in to this community. My corolla was only $500 when I bought it in perfect condition.

However, I did enjoy initial d. Over rev is better
