landslideATX · Post by **landslideATX** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 12:55 am

ok so i finaly sat down and took the time to put up some pictures of my corolla and all its been thru. endjoy.

what it look like shortly after i got it.

after hitting a curb.

fixed that, dicided to go drifting.

broke the stock lat bar so got a new one.

couldn't stop there, so i added a header, 4 link and springs.

oh yeah and kyb agx's

headed for austin and some lady went off the road in front of me and hit a gaurdrail. the result

bother rims were lost.
what the rims looked like before

what it looked like before i f-bombed it up.

what i still have to put in.

they way it is now due to wet road, understear and crappy tires.

thats it for now. just looking for a lower control arm.

enjoy.

when i got the car the stock springs had been cut by more then half so it was sow low and had no body roll at all. so easy to drift. lol.

been there, done that, heated it up and bent it back in place.

works great, I reinforced all the shit that bent, so it will bend the frame if I hit it hard enough next time.

lol. thats the same thing that happend to my rear end. only on the passanger side. snapped clean off. had the e-brake up and was looking at it. i was like dude i can just bend it back and drive it home. my friend was like no you can't. he drops the e-brake and the wheel just dropped off. i was like oh, yeah your right. lol.

as far as the part i checked w/everyone i could and no one has it. only the dealer and they want $200+ or so. so i'm looking for the part. i don't have anything to heat it up with. or reinforce it.

i already got it taken care of. i got the parts on and stuff. just my tension rod thats still bent and holding on with one bolt. i'm saving up to get the t3 ones though. i'm trying to get some other stuff also but yeah. i work my ass off and don't get paid shit for it. but its a great stress free job.

=P

t3?

when mine broke, it just sheered the bolts off... so I air-hammered the old studs out and fitted it with shitty bolts, so that will happen again....

no need to buy another when you can make "crush points"

i don't have anyone that welds up here and your 4 hours away. besides i need to get some camber plates also to help with alignment and stuff. and to give me that extra angle. besides, i don't plan and understearing anymore(not going to drift in the ran at high speed with cheap ass gripless tires.)

my e-brake doesnt' work. lol. thats why i hit the curb. i started to understeer, going straight at full lock, so i pulled the e-brake and nothing happend. so i turned the wheel so i wouldn't hit the side of it. but the curb was a lot bigger then i thought so i rolled onto it but still messed up the lower control arm and tie rod. the people at the muffler shop were putting my exhaust on and they caught my brake line on fire and then put it out. and ever since then it hasn't worked well at all. suckes. that and i have those jdm air bubbles in the brake lines. lol.
